Chapter 443: Meeting parents

In the absolute central area of the Human Alliance, there existed a supreme celestial body called the Origin Star. This was the absolute main planet of the entire cosmic alliance. Only a highly select few individuals could even physically enter this restricted world.

Inside an elite faculty training room.

A stunning girl wearing a fitted white sports bra and matching short athletic pants stared at her holographic phone. Her choice of clothing perfectly revealed her lean, highly fit, and incredibly beautiful figure. She had her dark hair tied up in a long ponytail, a pristine white towel draped casually over her shoulder, and a completely indifferent expression resting on her flawless face.

Just then, a highly playful voice came directly from behind her.

“What exactly are you looking at, Julie-chan~?” A gorgeous girl with bright pink hair and star-like, shining eyes suddenly appeared. She playfully pounced on the seated girl, pulling her securely into a tight, affectionate hug.

The pink-haired girl also wore a tight-fitting sports bra similar to her friend’s. She looked incredibly alluring and possessed a breathtaking beauty that perfectly rivaled the dark-haired girl.

“My actual name is not Julie-chan,” the girl sighed, turning her head slightly to face her attacker. “It is Juli. Stop calling me that.”

“But you are just so incredibly cute, Julie!” The girl with pink hair giggled, her bright eyes shining with pure adoration as she actively pinched Juli’s soft cheeks. “You are undeniably the cutest in the entire world.”

While Juli undeniably looked like a highly adorable girl, she absolutely did not agree with her friend’s loud assessment.

“I am officially nineteen years old,” Juli said with a completely deadpan look on her face. “I am a proper adult. I am absolutely not cute.”

“Trillions upon trillions of loyal fans across the galaxy think that you are absolutely cute. Do you seriously still think otherwise?” the pink-haired girl retorted with a playful hmph.

Just then, the heavy mechanical door to the faculty room slid open smoothly. Another incredibly beautiful young woman stepped into the training room. She wore the exact same athletic attire as Juli and the pink-haired girl, showing off her equally flawless and alluring figure.

She had long, flowing white hair with striking icy blue highlights and carried a completely indifferent, freezing look on her stunning face.

“You are finally back, Alissa!” The pink-haired girl instantly formed a highly mischievous, cat-like grin on her face. She immediately let go of Juli and attempted to playfully pounce on Alissa next.

But before she could even reach her target, a terrifying wave of sharp, freezing icicles shot directly toward her.

The white-haired girl in question, who was none other than Alissa, glared coldly at the pink-haired girl. “If you come one step closer, I will shoot you, Miwa.”

“Hmph.” Miwa swiftly dodged the lethal icicles with immense grace. She crossed her arms and looked back and forth between Juli and Alissa.

“You two are completely emotionless machines. It is I, the great Miwa, who constantly has to actively take care of you both. In such a freezing cold place where I have to deal with two absolute ice queens daily, my only true salvation is getting a warm, loving hug from my fellow sisters. Mostly because I do not currently have a handsome man to do that for me. Sigh…” Miwa looked highly emotional and dramatically wiped a fake tear from her eye.

“…” Alissa simply looked at her with a completely deadpan, freezing stare. Then, she slowly turned her attention directly to Juli.

They both silently stared at each other for a brief moment, exactly as if they were actively battling to see who could act vastly more indifferent. Finally, Alissa broke the silence and spoke again.

“There is someone from the Arclight family here who explicitly requested to formally meet you,” Alissa stated calmly.

“Who?” Juli tilted her head slightly. Her pitch-black eyes and flawless, doll-like face looked at her friend in confusion.

…..

Whoosh!

The massive spaceship landed inside the multi-layered castle. As it descended through the barriers, it had already shrunk exponentially to land properly within the grand courtyard.

As soon as they landed, Arnold turned to the elite soldiers. They nodded sharply, immediately opened the heavy doors of the spaceship, and stood respectfully to the side.

Outside the castle, several figures had already gathered.

They all wore highly serious expressions as they looked at the spaceship with hopeful, calculating eyes. They were elite soldiers and prominent members of the branch family.

As for personally welcoming the Lost Heir, his granduncles did not think it was worth the effort. They simply stayed inside their own private dimension playing checkers.

Nor did his uncles, aunts, or other related siblings come down to observe his arrival. Of course, there was a strict reason for that. It was mostly due to the fact that now was not the perfect time to meet him.

For now, absolutely all of them were silently observing the spaceship from the shadows.

Some aggressively probed Grey’s genetic limiters, while others probed his physical body age. Naturally, Grey was completely aware of this invasion of privacy.

These terrifying probing wills should not normally be able to see through him because he was the Fateless One. But he was willingly suppressing his ultimate concealment. If they could not find anything at all, it would be vastly more suspicious. Grey did not plan on making huge waves here just yet. He critically needed to understand the current status quo first.

“The Patriarch and Matriarch are eagerly awaiting you, Young Heir,” Arnold spoke softly as he gestured for Grey to leave the ship.

Grey casually swept his gaze around the gathered soldiers and the branch family members, who were all looking at him with highly mixed emotions. He caught all of their intense stares, and for some reason, he felt incredibly strange seeing this exact scene.

However, right before he could see, act, or say anything else, his vision blurred rapidly. His physical figure completely flickered and vanished right from the eyes of everyone across the square.

“It is the Patriarch’s power,” Arnold muttered while heaving a heavy sigh.

’Good luck to you, Young Heir. Things will inevitably become incredibly hard for you starting now. The Arclight family might be a supreme Duke family, but surviving here is definitely not easy.’

….

Grey’s vision violently shifted. The very next moment, the bustling castle courtyard was replaced by a completely isolated, tranquil starry void.

The exact instant he physically appeared in this endless space, his heartbeat unconsciously quickened. A profound, inexplicable sense of familiarity violently washed over his very soul.

He slowly looked around the vast emptiness. Eventually, his sharp gaze completely froze onto two solitary supreme figures standing quietly not too far from him.

Seeing their faces clearly for the very first time, Grey let out a highly complicated, heavy sigh.

The two supreme individuals in question were none other than two surprisingly youthful-looking figures. One was a highly handsome man with pitch-black hair and deep, trembling brown eyes. Right next to him stood a breathtakingly beautiful lady with flowing, pitch-black hair. She wore a highly elegant, ancient-style robe, with a delicate silver hairpin securely tying her long black hair up high.

They both wore completely bewildered, frozen looks on their faces. Their supreme, god-like auras completely vanished as they stared directly at Grey, looking exactly like ordinary, highly anxious parents laying eyes on their lost child for the very first time in decades.

“M-My son…” the beautiful lady’s voice cracked completely.

Her pitch-black eyes quickly turned heavily misty as she visibly began to violently shudder upon seeing the tall, handsome figure standing right in front of her. Hot tears freely escaped her eyes, completely shattering her majestic image.

Seeing this scene, the final puzzle pieces perfectly clicked together in Grey’s enhanced mind. He spoke with a heavy, deeply nostalgic sigh.

“It looks like Juli is also here.”

“In this world.”
