Nearly a week has passed, and Livia was fully cured now. Although she will still go through many checkups for confirmation. Today was the day when Asher was going to pick up Amelia and her friends.
"Status," Asher called out to look at his updated status information.

He decided to not use any attribute points until he felt it was necessary. He was sure he would breakthrough to early F Rank, i.e. F- Rank after his training with Nathan. And he was planning to use his skill points after getting a couple more skills.
Asher was moving towards his Rolls-Royce and saw Lucas and Livia staring at his car collection. After staying in the mansion for a week, they were quite comfortable and relaxed in their new environment.
"Big Brother, can we also ride these cars?" Livia asked Asher while Lucas was also looking at him waiting for his response. One of Asher's hobbies was his car collection, although he couldn't drive it until he turned 17, but he still liked collecting many supercars.
"Not today, but when we go hunting after your awakening, then we can ride them," Asher told them without showing any emotions. The twins were already accustomed to his indifferent reaction and knew that his behavior was the same for everyone, not just them.
"Okay!" the twins said together and went back in with their assigned maids.
"Let's go," Asher signaled Emmy and they got in their cars with the security following them. They were moving towards Soran Airport, it was 10 A.M in the morning, and Amelia's flight would land at 11 A.M.
Arriving at the airport, Asher decided to wait in the VIP lounge. People saw him and couldn't help but get astonished seeing his charm. Many women were thinking of approaching him, but the security around him and his indifferent face made them think against it.
"Wow, look at that guy, he's so handsome!!!" Some people started muttering among themselves.
******************************
Meanwhile, in the VIP section of a private jet, a black-haired girl with beautiful red eyes could be seen sitting with a brown-haired guy facing three people who were enjoying the delicacies in front of them.
"Amelia, you really hate traveling by teleportation gate?" the blond-haired girl asked the black-haired girl.
"I don't hate it, but I would rather enjoy my ride back to my country than arriving back in an instant," Amelia said holding her cold drink.
"Yes, those inter-country teleportation gates really give me a headache and dizziness. I really dislike that feeling, and traveling like this is much calmer," the blue-haired girl spoke while putting down her book.
"Oh, seeing you reading books all day, I didn't think you would like this sort of thing, Eva," the brown-haired boy spoke while mocking her.
"Damian!!" Amelia frowned at him, but Damian just shrugged her giving his 'can't be helped' look.
"Now now, let's calm down everyone, no need to fight," the white-haired boy spoke, he looked handsome and his blue eyes really complemented his face.
"Kevin is right guys, let's enjoy the ride," the blond-haired girl spoke again.
"I would have enjoyed it, Elena, if only he was as polite as Kevin," Eva told her.
Her comment really annoyed Damian as he didn't like the goody-shoes acts of Kevin. He wanted to travel back alone with Amelia, but she told him they should bring Elena, Eva, and Kevin with them as well. He tried to reason with her, but ultimately gave up and agreed on the matter.
"So Miss Eva thinks of me as someone polite, I see," Kevin flirted with Eva, which made Damian even more uncomfortable, but he would not intervene unless it was Amelia. Eva ignored Kevin, but a tinge of red could be seen on her ears.
"Should we explore Soran with Amelia?" Elena voiced her opinion. They were coming to Soran to explore the city before their term in World Academy would begin in the next year.
"Yes, we could-" before Amelia could finish her sentence, Damian interrupted her.
"I don't think this would be possible. Amelia is also meeting her family after 2 years of studying. You should not interrupt her reunion," Damian rudely spoke to Elena. He disliked all three of them and did not want them to spend more time with Amelia.
"Don't you think the decision lies on Amelia? Who are you to tell us all this?" Kevin replied back at Damian. Although Amelia was a year younger than everyone present, but due to her excellent performance from a young age, she entered together with people older than her.
"Her childhood friend and-" Damian was going to speak again, but Amelia stopped him.
"Let's not argue more, the flight is about to land and we can discuss more after we land in Soran," Hearing her, Damian could not argue more with Kevin, who gave him a smirking look.
***********************
It was 11:10 A.M, so Asher got out of the VIP lounge to pick up Amelia. He saw a group of youngsters coming towards them with some security around them. He could recognize every single person in that group. And seeing this sight, a slight wave of killing intent slipped from him for a very small interval, but he reeled it in before anybody could notice it.
The group of youngsters was full of attractive people, and people around them were already staring at them. They were attracting so much attention that it was difficult for Asher to not spot them.
Amelia saw an incredibly handsome young man with hair and eyes similar to hers. She immediately recognized Asher, and Damian, who also noticed his best friend, said,
"Oh, I didn't expect Asher to come himself to pick you up, Amelia." He was surprised to see Asher deviate from his indifferent behavior in the past. Although Amelia didn't voice it, she was also happy to see him pick her up. She always thought Asher hated and disliked her.
'Maybe he changed after two years I didn't see him,' she spoke in her mind.
"Yo, Ash, long time no see," Damian held out his hand to shake hands with him.
"You still look as energetic as ever," Asher said as he shook hands with him.
"You've grown well in the two years since I last saw you," Asher told Amelia.
"Y-Yes," Amelia replied softly.
"And these are your friends?" Asher gestured towards the trio behind her.
All three of them were surprised to see Asher. His devilishly handsome face coupled with his cold, crimson eyes was enough to attract any woman. He was even more handsome than Kevin, who was also surprised and a bit jealous of his charm.
Listening to Asher's words, the three of them woke up from their stupor. Facing his indifferent face, even Elena, who was the most confident of the three, was tongue-tied for a second, but she still spoke, "Pleasure to meet you, I am Elena Rothschild and these are my friends, Eva Williams and Kevin Whiteheart." She introduced herself and her friends.
"The pleasure is mine, Miss Rothschild," Asher said with an indifferent face. "I would like to take my time chatting with all of you, but I am a bit busy, so I will take Amelia home."
He continued, "I've already prepared rides for the three of you, and they will take you to the hotels I've booked for your group." He gestured to his security to take care of them.
"What? Why would they stay at some hotels? They can come back and stay at our Estate with us," Amelia protested.
Elena, Eva, and Kevin were a bit provoked by his words. They were not normal people; all three of them belonged to elite families. Hearing that they had to stay at some hotel, they felt annoyed, but they waited for Amelia to fix the situation, believing that she could persuade her brother.
"Do I need to repeat myself?" A wave of chillness rose in the surroundings as Asher sent a cold gaze towards Amelia.
She was scared seeing his eyes and couldn't utter a single word, but she gathered her courage and said, "But they are my friends and-" before she could finish, Asher signaled to his security to take their luggage.
"I have said my piece, and this is the last time I will say it: 'Don't make me repeat myself!'" Asher's cold and indifferent face stopped Elena from speaking.
Tears formed in Amelia's eyes, and her head dropped towards the ground. Damian found Asher's behavior extra cold today, as he had never been this harsh towards Amelia in the past. So, he decided to talk to him later about this.
"You are being too harsh on her!" Kevin said to Asher after seeing Amelia just looking down in front of him.
Hearing him, Asher arrived in front of Kevin. Kevin was a bit shorter than Asher, so he was forced to look up, but seeing his red eyes, he subconsciously took a step back. Elena and Eva were behind Kevin, but they also felt fear from him seeing Asher so close to them.
"How I handle things in my family doesn't concern the Whiteheart Family," his voice was full of coldness. Kevin was about to swing at him, everyone knew that Greville's Young Master was an unawakened individual and he was not going to lose face in front of Elena and Eva. Seeing him channeling his mana, Emmy immediately moved behind him and put him on the ground.
The other security guards were also behind the security team following the trio. They were also blocked from making any moves. Seeing Kevin pinned on the ground, Elena immediately shouted,
"How dare you harm him?!" Elena was about to continue, but
"Stop!" Amelia shouted, tears in her eyes.
"Let's go back home," she said, moving to sit in the Rolls Royce belonging to Asher.
Asher signaled for the security team to release them. "Emmy, let him go. And Miss Elena, I recommend you go to your accommodations quietly instead of causing a commotion here." Asher said, before turning to Damian, who was slightly happy to see Kevin being put in his place.
"Let's go," Asher said to Damian, who calmly followed him and sat in the car.
'This is only the start, I will end every bastard who stood against me in the past.' Asher smirked while entering the car.
