God's Eyes (Web Novel)chapter 293: to the cerus family!

Emerging outside the city within a dense forest, Jason took a deep breath as he looked at Shane who returning his gaze

"What?" Shane simply asked, but when he heard Jason's next words, he could only frown.

"Are you okay, master?"

Jason understood that it must have been extremely difficult to kill his acquaintance who he probably even considered a friend for a long time, and in the end, he was the reason for this.

As such, Jason couldn't help but feel bad even if it was not his fault that Old Drake chooses to betray them, which was the reason for him to ask his master if he was doing okay.

Seeing him sighing, Jason's guilt intensified before he heard Shane saying.

"In the end, this has nothing to do with you and was something between Old Drake and me. Both of us fought against each other quite often, until he received a serious injury that almost broke his mana core.

It was then when he began to change and if I had been a little bit more careful, I would have noticed that he wanted to have you in his grasp…"

Shane's eyes turned serious, as he explained.

"In a world that is ruled by the strong, you will never be able to know for sure whom you can trust fully...Only a soul contract might be able to reassure you that!"

Hearing this, Jason nodded his head but he felt weird by his master's words because they didn't force him into a soul contract when they accepted him as a disciple.

Knowing what his disciple was thinking about, Shane forced himself to grin.

By becoming our disciple you are already deemed to be pursued by other big families because I eradicated the Shore family.

Now that I killed Old Drake, the Drake family will probably actively search for me and once someone finds out that you're my disciple, they will hunt you which is much easier than hunting me.

Even if we don't have a soul contract, right now you are forced to rely on me and Dalia which is much more important than a soul contract because it is highly likely that you will trust us more this way.

In the future, you might as well betray us but if that were to happen, other big families would never know if they could trust you even a tiny bit without a detailed soul contract.

As such, you would either be forced into submission by a big family, everywhere deemed as untrustworthy and suspicious, or directly pursued because of your high potential."

Jason's eyes widened when he heard Shane explaining everything, and he couldn't help but praise his masters' craftiness inwardly as their train of thought was certainly true.

Right now, he relied on his masters, and betraying them would be comparable to crippling himself as the big families would definitely force him into submission.

He never thought about betraying his masters but he felt a little bit annoyed that their reason for not demanding a soul contract was only their scheming and not amity towards him.

Shane could only smile lightly when he saw Jason's expression as he added.

"We also liked your determination, unbreakable will to become stronger, and attitude towards others, which were definitely also a reason for not demanding a soul contract from you"

Smiling when he heard these words, Jason was satisfied even if he knew that Shane only added the last sentence to please him.

"Is it possible for us to enter the Fler's house for a moment? I want to write a short message to them….and if it's not too much, I would like to go somewhere else too…"

Pondering for a moment, Shane thought that the first request was not too much and would at most take a few moments when he began to wonder what the second request might be.

"If it doesn't take too long it's fine, but where do you want to go?"

Smiling faintly, Jason's eyes turned suddenly cold and melancholic which wondered Shane who lifted an eyebrow by this sight, when his disciple said.

"I want to make a stop at the Cerus family mansion in Artes city!"

"Huh?" Shane subconsciously blurted out, when he remembered that Jason came from Artes city, but he still didn't know what he wanted to do with the Cerus family.

Seeing that his master was confused, Jason decided to reveal that his mother was employed in the Cerus family when he was younger and that she was killed there when a mysterious young family's heir went on a rampage after being defeated by the older Cerus family heir.

Hearing this for the first time, Shane was astonished and he slowly understood what Jason wanted to figure out at the Cerus mansion.

It was unknown when they would return to Astrix and it looked like Jason was finally ready to get to know who killed his mother.

However, when Shane heard this, there was something else that bothered him.

'If an heir from another clan or family dares to kill the Cerus family's servants during an event or party without anyone doing something against him, while at the same time preventing the news from spreading outside, it might be more problematic than Jason thinks….Reporter are greedy hyenas and if it were to be a small family feud, the news would have already spread but the mysterious clan seems to be influential'

Shane also said that he can help to interrogate the Cerus family if they were to be stubborn as long as both disguised themselves.

Hearing this, Jason was thankful for this offer which he accepted without hesitation.

Manifesting a spatial portal, both emerged within the Fler's house, where Jason immediately searched for a piece of paper and a pen, which was extremely difficult because both were rarely used in their current era.

Pondering what he should write, he decided to keep it simple instead of melancholic or dramatic.

However, I still hope that everyone is doing well.

Please don't be too sad and instead we could hope to see each other once again in the future! Our lives are long and full of miracles! If we become stronger, it is almost impossible to not cross paths on Canir, or am I wrong!

We should always strive for more and never give up, alright!

[P.S-You can keep my tournament rewards...hehe]

[P.P.S- The last few months were the best in my whole life and I'm thankful to have spent them with you all! THANK YOU!!]

Let's see each other again.

Byeeee!!!

Jason>

Seeing what he wrote, he couldn't help but feel sad and also somewhat frustrated that he was unable to write a proper message with enough time to think carefully about his words.

However, right now there was a different thought tormenting his mind, filling it completely.

'Who killed my mother!!!'

Thinking about this, he gnashed his teeth, as he suppressed his anger.

Folding the paper, he laid it down on the dining table, where the Fler's would definitely find it as he took off his quantum bracelet.

Taking out the storage device, Jason could only smile lightly before he gave Shane the quantum bracelet, who crushed it without hesitation.

Transferring the objects inside the storage device to his spatial ring, Jason thought that both the spatial ring and storage devices were not even that different and he asked himself how exactly they were constructed.

Shaking his head, this was not something he should be curious about right now when he could also figure out who his mother's murderer was.

Shane was already waiting for Jason to finish with his train of thought.

Right now, his disciple was concluding his first important part of his life because many things would change now, turning more serious than Jason could probably ever imagine.

There were many threats coming from humanity, and with the newly acquired knowledge, Jason provided, Shane could only hope that the next few years would remain as peaceful as they were, without more trouble than they had in the last few months.

Taking a deep breath, Jason was finally finished arranging his thought, as he stared at his master with determination fleming in his golden eyes.

"Let's go to the Cerus family!"
