"Aaaahmm...… at a friend's house." Dylan replied in a guilty tone.
"Is the moon pavilion your friend's house?" Augustus park, Dylan park's father and The rich merchant family
Dylan's blue eyes flicked a bit as he was found out "You were at the moon pavilion? That's very unwise of you." Dylan's mother Melanie park interrupted angrily. Just like her son she had silver hair. A fair milky skin and a heavenly beauty. No wonder her son had very good looks.
"That's why I told we have to take him to the academy, he won't only learn cultivation, but they'll shape his moral values." Mr park fueled the fire even more.
"No. I won't let you take my son away." Melanie argued.
"Yes Ma, I don't want to leave your side too." Dylan said as he held his mother's hand.
"You're spoiling him too much." Augustus complained.
"Yeah, let me spoil him. All my children have left can't I keep one of them alongside me."
"You can't keep him for a lifetime he needs to broaden his horizon. He has got to get married one day, have his own family. Even though you fear him growing up he has to." Mr.Park finished breathlessly.
"Are you jealous of Timothy's son? What's his name again... Axel? I heard they say he is a martial genius having reached the fifth stage of apprentice level at the age of 18. A more talent than Frankie they say." Melanie countered.
"So what? He has to stand on his own feet he's almost 17." Augustus said.
"Dad, mom will you please stop I thought you'll value my decision in this." Dylan knew he had to intercept in such a hot mood.
Suddenly, the old man Richard came in followed by 3 soldiers who looked from the Iron dragon army.
"Master, these people came here saying that there are news from the west." The old man said clumsily bowing his head down.
"Oooh! What is it? How's Frankie?" Mr park quickly asked.
The 3 soldiers bowed and started looking at each other as if looking who will be the first one to say something. At last one of the raised his head and finally looked at mr park.
"Mr park, we have some bad news..... General Park is dead."
"What are saying? You must be joking right?" Mr park smiled sarcastically.
"The mischievous dark guild ambushed us. We had to retreat the general had to remain to buy as some time. When we were back the camp was in ruins."
"I'm sorry to tell you this but the general was cruelly murdered and he was devoured by the flames in the camp." The soldier finished.
Melanie collapsed on the table, "Mom, mom someone….." Dylan cried.
"Go call the physician." Mr park ordered right there.
"We shall take out leave and we are sorry for your loss." The guards bowed down and left leaving mr park panicked and his son crying lowly with his mother in his arms.
