Zane was not sure what he was doing at the party hosted by the world-renown family. He had a thousand things to do than waste his time here.
Like, finding the soul of their king who had disappeared five years ago. No one knew where he had disappeared to but they knew that he was still alive somewhere.
And they only knew that because the demon tree was still alive. When a demon king passed away, the tree shredded its skin and bore a fruit that grew up to become a new demon tree.
“Zane, how is your aunt doing these days? She hardly shows her face at these gatherings. You should ask her to attend so that you can skip them instead. You always look annoyed and bored while being at these parties.”
Zane looked up to see Mr. Shah, the organizer of this party walk toward him. Just behind him was Mr. Trusdale, the current caretaker of the Strout funds.
