Celestial Bloodline

Bia's shocked voice rang out in his mind non-stop.

-'What!? Do you even know what I am talking about? It's a serious matter listen to me!'

Kyle rolled his eyes with a faint smile.

'Your information is a tad bit late. I know he is a merman.'

His ears perked up when he heard the sound of approaching footsteps.

"Someone's coming."

He gazed at the path from where they come from and snapped back. There was another path at the end of the room. He wasn't sure where the path would lead them but it was better than being caught.

Kyle jumped back.

"I will try to break the glass step back."

Regius and the others looked at Kyle back. They wanted to ask why Kyle asked the mermaid such a strange question but when they heard his words they hurriedly moved back.

Amidst the quiet atmosphere, Yue spoke up in a low voice.

"Who is Nine? It's the first you stared at someone so long."

Her eyes widened because she just blurted out her thoughts.

'What am I saying! Of course, he looked at her because she is a beautiful mermaid!'

Kyle didn't notice anything wrong with her question and replied immediately.

"Nine is my friend."

In an instant, blue flames appeared around the glass cage. Kyle wasn't sure if they would work but he let the flames touch the glass.

Instead of burning, a layer of ice appeared on the glass walls. The ice on the glass spread out and even the water started freezing.

Kyle's eyes narrowed and he controlled the flames to stop the water from freezing. After the glass walls turned icy, the flames vanished.

A crack appeared on the glass but instead of breaking the ice turned into small bright particles. The water inside the glass walls splashed out in an instant, making the mermaid gasped with shock.

Not just her, the ones standing behind Kyle had their eyes glued on him. They sighed and watched the water that spread out in the room.

A bright light flashed around the mermaid's tail when the cold wind caressed her skin. She blushed when her tail transformed into two pale slender legs. She wanted to cover her lower half but her wrists were tied with chains.

Kyle frowned and retracted his gaze.

"Yue."

Yue snapped out of her daze and immediately took out some clothes from her storage ring. She approached the mermaid and covered her lower body.

"Regius pick her up I will try to freeze her chains when we are out of this place...."

Kyle's sentence was cut short when two tall elven men clad in blue uniforms arrived in the room.

One of the men fixed his eyes on Kyle and the others.

"Who are these kids? Don't tell me they are working for this evil organization?"

His expression turned frosty and he ordered the other man standing beside him to capture them all.

Kyle took a defensive poster and stood in front of the others. He was ready to fight but after a few seconds, five more men clad in blue arrived in the room.

He cleared his throat and let out a dry chuckle.

"Guys I think we should run.."

He looked back and choked on his words because Regius and the others were already standing at the other end of the room. The mermaid was in Regius's arms as he blinked at Kyle innocently.

"Bro, you are the strongest. Stopped them for a few seconds."

Kyle's eyes flew open when they ran off toward the other path without him. He wanted to curse but at that moment one of the men cried out loudly.

"Stop them! They are running away!"

Two men jumped at Kyle to grab him while the others ran behind Regius and the others.

Kyle sucks in a breath. He knew he had to stop the men well he was abandoned by the others just for this reason.

The air around him trembled and blue flames surged out everywhere. Within a second, the whole room was engulfed in flames.

The individuals clad in blue uniforms stopped in their positions. Dread crept up their spine when the cold flames surrounded their bodies.

Kyle looked around and started moving backward with slow steps. However, he froze when a familiar voice called out to him from behind.

"Kyle?"

He snapped his head to look back. It was Yue she was standing at a distance. The others were standing beside her as well. Their heads were hung low. Only the mermaid was nowhere to be seen.

"Why are you all back? Run..."

He stopped mid-way when he saw a middle-aged man with amber eyes appearing behind Yue. The man was wearing a white shirt with a purple pattern engraved on his left shoulder. He sighed with a frustrated expression.

"Didn't I tell you to take them back why are you here?"

Yue flinched and lowered her head with a guilty expression.

"Sorry Dad..."

Aefel wanted to scold his daughter more but he was distracted by the burning blue flames.

He looked at Kyle who was standing in the middle of the room and spread out his fingers to touch the flames.

"These flames are indeed unique.."

However, before his fingers could touch the flames they vanished. A cold sensation touched his fingers as he looked around with a surprised expression.

His eyes narrowed at Kyle with a glint.

"I thought there were only five kids but including you now the number increased to six. I hope all of you enjoy your punishment for the next few days."

He chuckled and pointed at a corner.

"Alright, for now, go face the wall with your hands up in the air."

Regius was the first who ran off to obediently stand in front of the wall. He knew how dangerous Yue's father's anger could be.

The others also arrived beside him one by one. Kyle stood between Yue and Regius and decided to break the silence.

"So even after abandoning me you all got caught?"

Regius let out a dry laugh.

"Bro, will you believe me if I say all of this is a misunderstanding? How dare we abandon you?"

At that moment a black shadow appeared above Regius.

Regius trembled as he turned his head to look at Yue's father.

"Sir... do you need anything?"

Aefel glanced at his fingers with a meaningful look and held out his palm.

"These rings look suspicious? I believe you stole them from the individuals you fought in this place. So, I will confiscate them."

Regius wanted to cry but he held his tears and removed the rings from his fingers one by one with an aching heart and placed them on his palm.

Aefel gave him a satisfied nod and asked him to face the wall again.

Amidst the gloomy atmosphere, Sinon, Niamh, and Faith secretly laughed in their hearts. Their revenge on Regius was complete! He treated them like his servants and wanted to pocket all the storage rings! Haha, serve him right!
