Chapter 205: Dining at Ulaang Family
"Who are you?"
John, Azelis, and Jibril floated on a piece of metal board, which was part of the Monster Paradise. He disguised it into a fancy metal board with a glowing neon line-art design.
The guard frowned as he saw the unfamiliar faces coming.
However, John appeared right in front of the guard with teleportation. 50 meters around the metal board was the influence area of Monster Paradise.
But he didn't need to use Molding Essence to deal with this Sovereign-rank guard.
With a blink of his eye, he sent the guard five thousand kilometers high up in the sky via forceful teleport.
He didn't send the guard to the dangerous height where he had stationed his Eye, the place of floating islands with calamity-rank monsters.
That was reserved for others.
He didn't have beef with the guard, but the family who failed to raise civic sense in their descendants.
The waiter who was with them gulped. 'What the hell?'
'Please, don't let me die today.'
After sending all guards away, John arrived before the large door of the palace in a blink with the other.
A snap of his finger, and the door flung open, shooting straight before hitting a girl in her twenties who was walking while holding a book.
She was a Sovereign-rank Tamer, so that door wouldn't hurt her.
Blasting off the door, the girl stood up angrily, looking around and spotting three unfamiliar people sitting on the large sofa.
"Fuck, who the hell are you?"
The commotion naturally attracted attention, and one of the servants also rang the alarm, notifying everyone.
Suddenly, three beams shot towards John and the other two.
But the moment it reached 10 around them, a faint translucent bubble with a rainbow hue flickered into existence, turning the laser beam into confetti.
He created this barrier that could turn any attacks into confetti using Molding Essence. The cost depended on the power of the attack.
This attack was from a peak Mythical-rank Tamer, so it cost 120k Molding Essence.
A drop in the ocean for the current him as he had billions of Molding Essence.
People were shocked.
How could an attack transform into confetti? That was wholly absurd.
If it was blocked or defended using some means, they could understand, but the attack just transformed into confetti!
Was there such a soul technique? Or an ability from a Monster Geno Art?
The black-haired man who attacked just now didn't continue and approached.
Currently, he was the strongest in the house, at peak Mythical-rank. The eldest son of the Ulaang family.
"Who are you, and what's the meaning of barging in like this?" He asked with a somber expression, already contacting his father and uncles.
He knew this person was not someone he could handle after seeing his attack turn into confetti.
In response to the question, John snapped his finger, diplaying the young man and his group from his memories.
Seeing that, the muscled eldest brother's lips twitched while the sister frowned. "Meron?"
"Well, here's how it happened and the reason why I am here." John showed the memory from his point of view on the screen.
'Young master Meron?'
'It looks like he offended someone he shouldn't have.'
'Indeed. This person feels unfathomable.'
'Well, the family head and others will come soon.'
'It looks like we'll get to watch a good show today.'
The servants talked amongst each other with Magic Whispers, all of them being Gold-rank Tamers who were stuck years ago and couldn't advance.
"As you can see, your young master lacks civic sense, and I blame the family for it. Of course, I am not going to forgive him, but I decided to come here first to break his arrogance, which is none other than this family." John smiled indifferently.
The muscled eldest brother frowned, feeling foreboding.
Summoning his Pet Monster here wasn't feasible since they were inside the palace, and he didn't have the ability to send these people out.
"What do you want us to do?" the sister asked.
"First, we would like dinner. We are hungry, but thanks to your young master, we were kicked out."
"…"
"…"
'Brother…' the sister looked at the eldest brother.
"Please come to the dining hall. The food will be prepared shortly."
John and others stood up and began walking, following the eldest son of the house.
Turning to the waiter who was frozen, John said, "What are you waiting for?"
The waiter pointed at himself. "M-Me too?"
"Of course."
"O-okay."
After sitting at the dining table, the eldest son and the sister stood on the side.
'Brother, what are their ranks?'
'The two girls are Sovereign-rank. But I can't sense the soul potency of that guy. However, the outfit he is wearing is rather high quality, no worse than the top armor set that our father wears.'
The sister's eyes trembled. 'What? So is he a calamity-rank tamer?'
'Possibly, yes. But we'll know once father and uncles arrive here.'
"Can you call your young master here?" John turned to the duo and smiled. "How would he learn if he doesn't witness, right?"
"I want him here in one minute. Otherwise…"
Suddenly, the eldest brother's eyes widened, and he turned to his left.
"Where's Vinera?! You…don't do anything to her."
He was about to blow up, but calmed down.
"If your young master is not here in a minute. You will never see her again. I am wicked, you can trust me on that."
The eldest brother vanished with a flicker of dark blue lightning.
In just ten seconds, he returned, his hand grabbing the neck of the young man.
"Brother, what are you doing?!" Meron shouted, but when he saw John and others, he froze. "You…what…"
"Oh, my bad. I want the rest of the gang here too. That friend of his was eyeing my girls here and this trashy young master, too." John said, his voice and eyes several degrees colder. "That's a taboo, you know?"
The eldest brother's lips trembled, but he vanished again and returned shortly, holding the other two guys and three girls.
The first few dishes had just arrived, and since they were hungry, they told the staff to bring what John had ordered before, since it was in preparation.
But before they could eat, Meron disappeared, and a couple of seconds after that, Meron's brother arrived, trapping them in a barrier and bringing them here, too.
They didn't know what was going on at all!
But as soon as they saw John and others sitting at the dining table, their hearts dropped.
"Now, please return her." The eldest brother said.
John smiled. "There you go."
The sister returned to her place. John had simply sent her into Monster Paradise, inside the prison, but veiled so she couldn't see anything but darkness.
'Where did you send you?'
'I-I don't know. It was completely dark. I tried to use soul technique, Geno abilities, and even summoning my pet monsters, but nothing worked.'
She trembled as the fear she felt at that time was despairing.
'I could feel an intense, ominous vibe there. It was terrifying…Like, many people died there and their terror was imprinted there.'
"Do I have to tell you each and every single thing myself?" John frowned as he looked at the whole group before his eyes set on the eldest brother, before shaking his head. "You all really need to learn some manners."
The eldest brother suddenly released tendrils of lightning, shocking Meron and his gang as they couldn't remain standing.
"Apologize to them!"
"Y-You, brother…" Meron looked at his brother with disbelief. "Where's father?"
"I am also waiting for him." John chuckled.
Just as he finished speaking, three powerful auras were closing in fast, and soon arrived in the dining hall as they sensed the gathering there.
"What's going on?!" the bearded man with black-golden hair frowned.
"Dad! This bastard barg-" Before Meron could finish speaking, the bearded man vanished.
John sent him to Monster Paradise's prison, but didn't keep him there for more than two seconds, just enough to let him experience the complete helplessness of staying in his prison that John upgraded to contain calamity-rank powerhouses. It cost him 600 million Molding Essence, but he was going to use it often, so it was worth it.
From there, he directly sent the bearded guy to the dangerous area high up in the sky where he had stationed his Void Eye via forceful teleportation using Molding Essence, which didn't cost much since the bearded guy was completely sealed in the prison.
If John used his Voidspace, his true power would be exposed, and it wouldn't have worked on a powerhouse of Calamity-rank, so he could only use this roundabout way.
Since the eye was there high up, and he had the coordinates, it was easy to send him there using Molding Essence directly from the prison.
The other two bearded men were startled. They couldn't even sense any energy at all!
They were the first and second calamity, while the one who disappeared was a third calamity powerhouse, their elder brother and head of the family.
If he couldn't resist at all and was sent somewhere, it was clear that this powerhouse sitting at the table was stronger than them.
"Oh, the food is here." John smelled the food and turned his head, ignoring others.
The two uncles looked at the eldest son.
'Who the hell is he? What's going on?!'
'Why is he here?'
'It's…they went to dine at the Hozer family's restaurant, but Meron kicked them out rudely. But instead of dealing with him, they came here directly.'
Remembering something, he quickly turned to Meron and slapped him.
"Apologize to them!"
"You all, too! Go there, and apologize!"
Meron and others trembled.
They quickly walked in front of the table and apologized while kneeling.
"Now, we would like to eat to our fill, so you all can go somewhere and let us be. We'll continue our discussion after eating."
John waved his hand without looking at them. "Get lost."
The waiter who was with them felt like he was dreaming.
'What in the unga bunga hell is going on?'
