Family

The duo of Amden and Cilia, climbed down the staircase and arrived in the dining hall if the Vantistart manor.

A massive rectangular table made of 'spiritual wood' had been placed at the centre of the dining hall. Surrounding the table, on chairs made of the same spiritual wood were four people. A wide range of dishes had been prepared and placed on the table. All these people being cultivators naturally had a big appetite.

At the one end of the table, an old man with black hair, mixed with some grey strands, and a short beard was seating. He had a bulky and his presence was imposing. The man appeared to be in his eighties but actually was much older.

He was grandfather of Amden- Dramon Vantistart. He had a cultivation of peak SSS Rank and was among one of the strongest persons on the planet.

Dramon Vantistart was the real foundation and pillar on which the Vantistart family was standing today.

Seated on the right side of Dramon was an old lady.

She was Clara Vantistart need Samaila- wife of Dramon and Amden's grandmother. She had a cultivation of SS Rank.

Although the family she belonged to, Samaila family was not on the same level as that of Vantistart family, it was still an extremely powerful and influential family.

Despite her old age, she still appeared beautiful and graceful in her own rights. She had flowing red hair- a basic trait among the members of the Samaila family. It was due to the very grade affinity to fire element, which Clara and other members of the Samaila family had.

On the left side of Dramon, directly opposite to Clara was seating a middle aged man. In appearance and body structure he resembled much to Dramon. He was Rexon Vantistart- father of Amden.

Rexon Vantistart had a cultivation of peak S Rank and was the current head of the Vantistart family and the president of the Vantistart consortium. Ruthless and merciless to enemies and rivals, Rexon was a family man through and through.

Next to Rexon was Lily Vantistart nee Louisa, Amden's mother. Her eyes had an unique shade- purple and her hair were white in colour. She had the cultivation of S Rank.

Louisa family was also an elite family, at the same level that of Vantistart family. And Lily was not a mere member of the Louisa family. She was the only child of the current family head and thus heir of the family.

This was reason, the marriage of Lily and Rexon had caused a humongous stir, uncertainty and chaos. It was no ordinary marriage but a marriage between heirs of two elite family.

Since then, Rexon had taken up the position of head of the Vantistart family and while it was a matter of time before Lily would do the same.

As it was obvious, that this situation made Amden extremely special. He was a single heir to two elite families. If Lily and Rexon did not have another child, chances of which were low, Amden was bound to head two elite families at the same time.

Amden, thus was a highly sought out person but he rarely made public appearances. Although the world knew about his existence, other than his name not much information was available about him.

Even other elite families knew almost nothing about him. He was not like other kids from the elite families acting arrogant and showing off in public.

Amden was calm, composed and focused. He had two life experiences and he knew that a powerful person was a single mistake away from losing all of his accumulated power.

He didn't want to indulge in these stupid things. This habit of Amden of staying away from limelight caused a rumour that Amden was neither talented nor intelligent. That is the reason why Vantistart are trying to hide him. Some rivals of the Vantistart were also behind the reason of the rumour. But neither Amden nor his family took it seriously. They very well understood that when the time would come, the world will know the reality.

On seeing Amden, wide smile appeared on everyone's face. For Amden of previous life family love was a pipe dream but, in this life, he was the life of these four people. And Amden cherished his family to his heart.

"Come and seat my dear son. You made us wait so long," said Lily with a false annoyance.

Amden just smiled and sat in front of his mother. Cilia followed suit and sat next to Amden.

"Cilia, were the two of you doing some naughty stuff?" Clara teased Cilia with a mischievous grin.

Cilia's face turned red. She just pouted and could only mutter, "Grandma you."

Amden maintained his stoic face. He was used to his grandma's antics.

Cilia referred to them as Grandfather, grandmother, father and mother after the Vantistart had insisted to her for so long. She had been adamant on calling them master.

But they could not make her call Amden by his name. She reasoned that since she works for him, she must call him Young Master. Finally, everyone had to let her do as she wished. She was also the apple of the eyes of these 4 people.

"Amden eat well and don't be nervous. Everything will go well," said Dramon in reassuring tone.

He was talking about awakening. Everyone's face turned a bit stoic. All the awakening was generally safe but accidents could never be ruled out. And for Amden who was heir to two elite families a lot of expectations were placed on his shoulders.

Rexon also added in a comforting tone, "Son, everything will go well."

What he kept in his mind and didn't spoke was that even if Amden came as mediocre person, his family of four were always going to be present for him. They would always have his back.

Although everyone sitting there was a bit nervous, they had the same emotion going in their hearts.
