Enchantment (3)

Three individuals travelled in a luxurious limousine: a man in the driver's seat and two gorgeous women with business costumes were in the back.

"*sigh* Why did the clan head send us to go and get that brat?" one of the women grumbled, visibly displeased.

Sorcerer, a title for powerful people capable enough to be called superhumans. Two of them were sent to the island to get Aiden back to the mansion at a request from Aiden's father.

"The clan head had requested to get his good for nothing child back."

Said the other woman with a smile.

"If I was the clan head, I would just let him be. Why bother taking care of someone like him?" said the unhappy woman.

The driver was just a regular driver who had no idea what those women were saying.

"He hasn't been in school for a whole three months. Can you imagine? Your child being such a failure that he couldn't even work as a commoner?" the woman continued, looking out of the window towards the gigantic mountain.

"Is this it?" she asked, only to be interrupted by an indescribable sensation. A chilling aura of terror and imminent dread derived from the mountain as if a monstrous entity lay hidden within, ready to unleash unspeakable horror at any moment. The atmosphere itself seemed to respond with an eerie silence, heightening the sense of impending doom.

"Who?" The other woman quickly caught up to the situation, but even so, she could do nothing about that feeling of terror.

"STOP THE CAR!!!" screamed the woman to the innocent driver, who didn't know about the unfolding horror.

The limousine stopped at its place as the two girls got out of the car and looked at the mountain with terrified eyes.

Just then, the overwhelming feeling of terror stopped, but that scene already left a big scar on the sorcerer's heart.

In just a couple of seconds, they gave up almost every hope of surviving on their mission, but the sad side of the mission was that they had no other choice. If they were to give up the mission, they would suffer a fate worse than death. So they continued towards the mountaintop to investigate the situation.

IN THE MOUNTAIN

*Crack**Crack**Crack**Crack**Crack**Crack*

As the mysterious figure surged forward with incredible speed, his presence manifested only as a flickering shadow on the terrain. Each rapid step left behind a series of small craters as evidence of his overwhelming power.

After a couple of seconds, the figure finally reached the mountaintop, unveiling his identity. As he gently lowered the silver boulder from his shoulders, his entire physique came into view. His broad shoulders, sculpted chest, and well-defined abdominals formed a visually captivating display of strength and athleticism. The contours of his muscles seemed to dance beneath the surface of his skin, creating an enticing play of shadows and highlights. Every inch of his body bore the result of dedicated training.

"How much time?"

Said the Aiden with his now newfound body.

"7 minutes, also. . ." Said Aria from the silver boulder as she paused when she saw Aiden.

"WHY ARE YOU SHIRTLESS?" Said Aria with crimson red cheeks. She could swear that he was wearing a t-shirt when they started.

"*sigh* Its not that deep." Aiden said as he started putting his t-shirt on.

At this moment, he was wearing black sweatpants and a crisp white t-shirt adorning his upper body, draping over his chiseled physique.

"Ah this secluded training in the harsh environment of the mountain really did wonders." Said Aiden as he was going into the temple.

"This. . . doesn't feel like a harsh environment at all." Said Aria as she watched 24 maids and butlers put Aiden on a large throne as the rest started to build a whole banquet in front of him.

". . ." The masculine voice decided to save this girl some trouble by not calling her poor every minute.

This was not the first time that this happened, but then she remembered words her teacher used to tell her when she was in training. "You are poor, you don't understand." The luxury and majesty surrounding her seemed like a world apart from her humble origins.

Aria then sat on a chair close to Aiden.

Just then, a butler came to inform Aiden about an unexpected visit from two unknown people.

"Let them in." Said Aiden as he saw the butter leave his sight to go and welcome the unexpected visitors.

After some time, the butler came back with the two well-dressed women.

They came before Aiden with relieved faces as they didn't face the terrifying monster.

"Master Aiden, we-" Said the woman with a smile and face full of sweat but was cut off by Aiden.

"You are holding your heads a little too high, don't you think?" Asked Aiden as an enormous amount of cynical energy erupted from his body.

Just then, as the two women were standing there, they spat blood as the terrifying energy surrounded them, sending shivers down their spines.

Seated on his throne with a demeanor that exuded boredom, Aiden crossed his legs, his shirtless upper body highlighting the intimidating scene. Aiden, at this moment, appeared more like a ruthless god than the seemingly useless child they had once known.

A question lingered in the women's minds: "Is this really the deadbeat child?" Terrified by the transformation before them, they realized that the monster they had feared was now in plain view. The punishment they faced was well deserved. As they were given the mission, they didn't bother informing the young master about their visit. They have thought that someone like Aiden would be too pathetic to react in any way.

They quickly bowed their head in respect of the young master's authority.

However, amidst the respectful atmosphere, Aria noticed something strange about Aiden.

"WHY ARE YOU SHIRTLESS AGAIN?" Asked Aria as she was again blushing.

"Well, at least his clothes aren't made from potato sack." Said the masculine voice as he couldn't hold back from reminding Aria of her financial situation.

Aiden, having strategically removed his shirt to appear more imposing to the uninvited guests, simply shrugged in response to Aria's question. His calculated display of dominance seemed to have the desired effect, instilling a sense of authority in the room.

Facing the now-kneeling guests, Aiden demanded, "Speak!"

"You father. He will come back into the mansion and he asked us to go and help escort you to the mansion." Said one of the women, still visibly terrified.

"My father huh? What does he wants now?" asked Aiden as he was doing everything he could to sound cool.
