Chapter 61: Elder's thoughts

Chapter 61

'These people are too noisy.'

Oliver couldn't help but feel speechless at their stupidity. They had sharp tongues and liked to lick the boots of stronger people.

Something you'd expect from the children of vessel families.

It was not that he blamed them; they were children and were raised in that way.

How could they know what was right and what was wrong? It was their parents' fault that they raised them as such.

Anyways, if they mess with him too much, he will simply teach them a lesson.

"Look! The elders are here!"

Oliver looked and saw a white-bearded man arrive at the scene.

He had a straight back and sharp gaze; his aura was powerful and intimidating, truly worthy of being an elder of the Mystic Purge Clan.

He subconsciously used [Cosmic Void Gaze] to observe deeper into the elder's true powers and instantly was met with a strong and radiant light.

He squinted his eyes; the espera the elder contained was enormous! He could not look without squinting at the direction.

'However...'

It was still not as strong as Jenna's espera, not by a close shot.

Her espera was like a mountain, it was so bright and powerful that he could not even look in that direction without getting blinded.

The elder frowned; no sooner did he arrive, he felt a very unpleasant sense of discomfort for some reason...

He could not help but look at the little children looking at him in awe; however, he could not understand the sudden feeling.

It was as if someone was observing him deeply, as if prying into his secrets.

He neglected the feeling first as he was unable to sense any abnormality and focused on the children gathered before him; today was an auspicious day and any carelessness on his end would result in a heavy punishment.

Even Miss Nadia was present to participate in the Demon hunt.

"Greetings! Elder!" A lot of the children instantly bowed their heads.

This elder was a powerhouse in this world of exorcists and demons; even their family heads would not dare to disrespect them.

Seeing the obedience of the children, the elder was satisfied and nodded.

"Raise your heads; you are the proud talent that the clan raised. Show your worth and make us proud."

He said a few complimentary words; looking at the group, the heirs of the main family did not bow to him like others.

His gaze narrowed as he saw a boy with white hair and beautiful gem-like eyes, sharing a deep resemblance to Nadia...

Of course, he knew about Oliver; as a clan elder, he was responsible to learn about every heir properly for the sake of the future.

Unexpectedly, a waste was also born in the patriarch's bloodline which shocked him and others quite a lot, but given Nadia's dark title and huge talent, they did not pay him much attention.

But suddenly, they were asked to invite him to the demon hunt as well... by someone very special.

It was confusing and they were all quite appalled at the order from that entity.

Of course, they did not refuse and instantly let the servants inform him too.

Meanwhile, they put the capable ones to another task, gather every bit of information about Oliver since he was born.

Information about what activities he had been doing recently, what sort of plays he has been into and what secrets he was carrying with him.

The special entity who had ordered them was the clan guardian herself!

Why would the clan guardian suddenly show interest in the unknown low-profiled boy?

It couldn't be that she just wanted to retain the tradition of the clan alone.

They refused to believe that. If they were so naive then they would not have been the members of the top five clans at the moment.

They did question the guardian but she did not elaborate her plans or anything.

Sure enough something was being cooked.

They became sure of it after investigations results were out.

The boy Oliver, he was changing every day, visiting the clan market regularly, purchasing many strange items regularly.

From the reports, it was said that he had purchased a variety of weapons from different blacksmiths, in addition to that, he also purchased many martial art techniques.

And from the maids, it was clear that he was training in his courtyard every day as well.

From this, it did not take them long to join dots and come to realize that he had started to train on the path to become a physical exorcist.

A bit surprising since they did not expect this turn of events but it was not too big of a deal.

Everyone knew whether they wanted to agree or not that physical exorcists would always be inferior to spiritual or espera exorcists.

Of course, there were many great exorcists in the physical path but not every exorcist following that path had the talent or dedication to be like that.

Not only that, even espera exorcists could train in that path and gain double advantage in that aspect.

In the end, they felt it was fine as long as Oliver was able to prove himself more useful to the clan in the future.

Looking at Oliver's blank expression, the elder could not help but feel disappointed, no respect, no idea what was going on, lost in his own world.

He felt that Oliver did not have a proper attitude fitting for an exorcist.

It could be seen that he had a biased opinion; he did not care when the other main heirs refused to bow but he was particularly judgmental when Oliver was lost in his thoughts.

Oliver himself was not aware of the elder's state of mind and even if he knew about it, he wouldn't care much.

You were an elder, but what actions did you have to be acknowledged as one?

Power? Sure. But the true respect one has towards an elderly person cannot be gained just by that.

Did he personally guide him when he was isolated by the clan?

Did he provide him with any resources when he needed them?

Did he provide any techniques belonging to the clan when he wanted to improve?

Did they care for his growth before the clan guardian announced his participation?

No.

So he had all the reason to not care about the elder's opinions or reputation.
