Dark Phoenix Prince

Chapter 31: Hodus

On the outskirts of the city there are special streets for restaurants. On that street, there were many restaurants from various kingdoms.

The Phoenix Kingsom Headquarters is actually on the street of the restaurant.

After exiting the city's teleportation formation, Alu immediately entered the street of the restaurant.

Even though this was Alu's first time coming to this city, he had a special connection with every Phoenix Kingdom headquarters so he could find out about the whereabouts of the restaurant that was the headquarters of the Phoenix Kingdom.

ALU walked the restaurant streets at a fairly fast pace. But walking past the many restaurants, each of which exuded an uplifting aroma, even Alu felt the urge to stop.

But because he wanted to hurry up, Alu chose to lift the collar of his robe to cover his nose before quickening his steps.

"Hey kid."

However, just as Alu was passing a certain restaurant, he suddenly heard a voice that seemed to be calling out to him.

Of course, those words didn't imply that it was calling out to him, but somehow Alu felt as though that voice rang in his head.

Looking at the direction of the sound, Alu found an old man in a white robe sitting in a fairly open restaurant.

When Alu saw the old man, his expression immediately turned serious. ALU couldn't sense a certain aura from the old man, but even if the old man didn't give off an aura, Alu's instincts could still sense how unexpected the old man was.

Even Zaden didn't give Alu that feeling. Just by looking at it, Alu felt like he was looking at a soaring mountain that he couldn't see the peak.

"Hey kid, come here..." The old man spoke with a friendly smile as Alu looked at him.

ALU knew that in front of the old man, he would not be able to do anything. Therefore, he followed the old man's words and walked over to him.

ALU is not too worried if the old man wants to do something bad considering there is still Old Joz in this city. Compared to Old Joz, this old man who called him was definitely nothing.

"Is there something old man?" Asked Alu.

Alu even took off his hood when he arrived in front of the old man. ALU knew, with the strength of the old man, it would be very easy for him to see his face.

"Sit down first." The old man responded by inviting Alu to sit down.

After Alu sat down, the old man offered Alu a cup of wine.

"Drink up." He said.

"At least you should introduce yourself first, don't you." Replied Alu.

"Well, this is our first time meeting, but you may already know me. My name is Hodus." The old man casually introduced himself.

However, when Alu heard that name, his eyes immediately narrowed while his expression turned more serious.

As for the old man's strength, Alu was still not so sure. Yet someone with such unfathomable strength, in the Holy Light continent, there was only one person by the name of Hodus.

Although ALU doesn't really know the names of experts in the Holy Light continent, the name Hodus is a name that Alu remembers very well. It was because Hodus was the patriarch of the Holy Light clan.

ALU couldn't help but be surprised to find that this old man in front of him was actually the strongest expert on the continent.

Of course, what made Alu even more shocked was the fact that the old man had actually come to see him. Alu obviously couldn't believe that they just met by accident.

"He-he-he..." Old man Hodus chuckled as he saw Alu's expression.

"Since this old man came to see you, this old man naturally knows things about you. If you were wondering, then you are underestimating the ability of someone who rules a continent. I may not be considered much in the wide world, but in this continent, there may not be anything major that I don't know about." Said Old Hodus.

ALU couldn't say anything after he heard Old Hodus' words.

"So, what made your esteemed self come to this junior?" Alu then asked.

"If you know all the great things on this continent, you should know my background shouldn't you." Said Alu.

Alu was worried that this old man also knew what he meant to Jather who was his grandson, so ALU needed to remind him not to act strange.

"Hehehe, this old man didn't come with bad intentions. Several tens of years ago, a woman who was extremely genius in spirit power appeared in this continent, how could this old man not know. Even at that time, this old man was not that woman's opponent. This old man naturally knows who cannot be offended." Old Hodus replied.

Hearing Old Hodus' words, Alu secretly let out a sigh of relief. After all, if Old Hodus came with bad intentions, it was still something dangerous for Alu.

"Then what is your goal?" Alu asked one more time.

"Well, you may already know the crisis of this old man's clan. This old man came to you to cooperate." Replied Old Hodus.

"This old man wants you to help protect this old man's grandson on the holy path." Old Hodus added.

"Oh." Alu's expression didn't change much when he heard Old Hodus' request.

After some thought, Alu concluded that the Holy Light clan's crisis was probably far more dangerous than he had imagined.

Perhaps the reason why they had sent their younger generation on the holy path was because they weren't completely confident that they could protect their clan's younger generation.

"Sigh, this old man knows your personality quite well. Now you can say what you want so that you want to help?" Old Hodus continued while Alu was still thinking.

Old Hodus' words left Alu at a loss for how to react. After all, Alu's real aim was to steal his grandson's bloodline. How could he protect her.

"Old man, do you know my true purpose?" Alu then asked.

"Given your personality, I thought you wouldn't join that brat's faction, Krinn, unless you had bad intentions towards my clan." Replied Old Hodus.

When he said that, Old Hodus's eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at Alu.

"Hehehe." Alu laughed lightly before he said his goal.

"I want your grandson's bloodline." Said Alu.

Since Old Hodus already knew that Alu wanted to target his clan, there was no longer any use for Alu to hide it.

Another reason Alu said that was because he wanted to make a bet.

According to Alu's observations, Old Hodus was a person who really loved his grandson.

Now Alu wants to give him two choices, give up his grandson's bloodline, or have him die on the holy path.

As long as Jather voluntarily gave up his bloodline, he might still be able to survive. At most, he would only suffer the loss of his extraordinary talent.

If there was an easier way, Alu would definitely choose that way. On top of that, the many parties involved also made Alu doubt whether he could steal Jather's bloodline on the holy path with so many eyes watching.
