43: The Fire Bird Leaf III

The Ghost Lord had already returned at the Ghost land and the next day was sitting in his position as the Leader.

He had taken back his seat as the leader of the sect and had his guards around him.

After a while of sitting there, Young Master Kyu walked in and stood before him. Kyu gave him a slight bow of respect

"Greetings Father"

The Ghost Lord nodded as he looked up at his son "While I was gone, You've handled the place really well and that's commendable. I'll reward you for that" He began.

"You're too generous Father" He gave another slight bow as his father looked around.

"I returned yesterday and haven't seen your brother since then, Doesn't he know that I'm back yet? Why hasn't he come to see me?" The ghost lord questioned Kyu.

Young Master Kyu hesitated for while before he said" Well..The thing is.. First brother is not at The sect.." He said.

"What?" The Ghost Lord seemed slightly surprised as he stared at his son "He's not In? Then where on earth could he have gone?" He questioned Kyu.

"I don't know precisely where he went to but he had left few days ago and still have not returned..I also haven't heard anything from him..." He explained.

The Ghost Lord Sat there on his seat with a brief thought..He then Sighed" That good-for-nothing Brat, what's he up to now?" He thought for awhile as he looked at Kyu.

"Well Forget him for the meantime, whenever he's ready he'll return on his own" He stated.

"Huh? But dad.." Kyu stared at his father " What if something's Wrong with him? what is he gets into trouble or something...?"

"For heavens sake he's the General of War. And he's been in lots of fight, so how can possibly happen to him like that?" He questioned his son "So don't worry about him. He simply wants to slack off since I was out..and then Leave all the work to you...How irresponsible "

Young Master Kyu still wasn't feeling at ease at all..but he didn't know what to say either..He wished to believe his father's words but he felt uncertain about them.

Especially having seen his expression before he left the Ghost Sect, Kyu couldn't help but think something was wrong.

"Bye the way, I heard that you handled the job I have you..You successfully suppressed the pillars and put the beast into their places.. That's really commendable of you " He praised.

"Thanks father " Kyu bowed to his fated again.

"Yes. You've proved your Worth and therefore I put you in the position of the new General of War " The Ghost Lord stated causally.

"Huh?" Kyu stared up at his father in shock.

"You heard me right, you'll be taking Over as the New General of War. I believe you'll do a fabulous job do why not have it" He stated.

But Young Master Kyu didn't seem happy about it "But...That position belongs to first brother and he..."

"Don't mention that good for nothing child's name. Since he's been in that position, he has not don't anything Great or so..Just Average..A disappointed to our family's name..."

The Ghosh Lord sighed "And now he even leaves his position for his leisure purpose? How irresponsible..And that simply proves that he can't handle this post so why waste it on him.. Just have it" He demanded.

"But father.."

"Aish enough already. I know you're considering your brother but as a son of the Family, You have to learn to never be soft! Bring soft will only give out all your weaknesses. And I can't afford such a useless son like that. okay?"

Young Master Kyu was quiet and mute. He had certain thoughts running through his head as he slowly nodded "Yes..."

"Good..Now you can leave..Get ready to lead the solider to their duties " The Ghost Lord instructed.

Lord Kan was already seated on his throne seat the next day.

He sat there early the next morning with thoughts already running through his mind..He recalled the information he got last night from a mysterious being and simply wondered if it was reliable.

He didn't even know who it was or anything about this person. But he could only guess that this person wasn't Human!

He felt this person was an Immortal. And this simply gave him the courage to believe in him. The belief that Immortals Knew better.

"My Lord you called for me"

Not long, That New General of War had walked into the room. He same General of War who had caught Ares.

Lord Kan looked up as he watched the General enter the room and the finally got up to him.

"What is it that you wish to talk about or tell me?" The General requested.

Lord Kan hesitated for awhile, But he guessed he had to be quick "You brought in a prisoner in last night... right."

"Yes..I did. why did you ask...My Lord?".The General asked as Lord Kan sighed.

"Bring him in here"
