Blood Summoner: Rise of Weaponmancer
Chapter 8 Concealed Lethal Yin Poison

"Mom don't cry, I'm sure little brother is fine." Xavier was tearful as he consoled his mom who has refused to eat for the past days even when she was pregnant for another child in her stomach.

Emerald cried even more after hearing Xavier's words.

Gregor knew of what was happening but instead of feeling sad, he became excited.

He thought.. "Finally I've gotten rid of that cursed child."

He also knew that Emerald was sorrowful, which was bad for her health but he still did not console her.

This left Emerald dismayed. most times she even thought of asking Gregor if he has anything to do with their son whereabout.

"Sniff* Sniff* Xavier.. mama will be okay, don't worry mama will be okay."

"But mom, how will you be okay if you keep living like this?"

At that moment, a creak noise sounded causing the mother and son duo to look at the direction where it came from only to see Liam limping in.

"Little brother Liam!"

"Liam!!"

Both of them jumped carefully on the little boy and hugged him tightly for a long time before they let him go and began asking several questions almost at the same time.

"Little brother where were you all this while. mom almost lost our sibling in her womb."

"Liam, were you adopted?"

"Liam who took you away?"

"Liam, tell me what happened?"

But Liam kept looking at them with innocent eyes, apparently he seemed like he doesn't know how long he was away.

,m His innocent blue and red eyes caused Emerald to feel like she was seeing the world, she drew him into her hands and gave him another hug while patting his hair lovingly.

As both mother and son were in a moment of lovely family moment, two maids were looking from the window.

The expressions on their faces was ugly to look at.

Xavier who have recently started cultivating essence felt the presence of other person in the room, his eyes made a sharp dart to the window.

At the same time...

The two maidservants bent down immediately and crawled away, causing the grasses to sway while making sounds.

The two maids discovered they were too slow so they stood up and began sprinting away as fast as they could to hide behind a large cherry blossom in the garden from there they sneaked away once more.

Xavier gaze returned to Liam and Emerald, then he went out of the room to order two maids to go bring Liam's meal as well we that of himself and his mother.

The two maids obliged, but instead of going straight up to the kitchen they instead went to meet with Ling Xan to inform her to the recent good news.

"What do you mean he has been found?"

"My lady, believe us, we were even sent by young master Xavier to get his meal, what we say is the truth."

Ling Xan gritted her teeth, then she sighed to calm her temperament before giving her next, vile order to the two maid servants.

"This is the "Concealed lethal yin poison" place it in their meal, even emerald won't be able to notice it, it will first start up by making them feel energized then it'll make them sleep then cold yin will start invading their body this will continue till they are frozen till death."

"My lady?" One of the maidservants, the one who loved touching Liam's cheek wanted to say something, after seeing the cold glare of her partner-in-crime and her second mistress, she shut her mouth and retrieved the jade bottle that housed the concealed lethal yin poison.

....

It hasn't been an hour since Liam was found, yet the news of his return has spread to the point that everyone in this noble family has heard of it.

Gregor wasn't an exception. But instead of him getting happy about it was the complete opposite, instead he was enraged to the point that it could have gotten the better of him.

The moment he heard the news he felt like leaving his office to replace the young child and beat the hell out of him.

He could have really done what was in his heart if it wasn't for the intervention his adviser, a purple haired dude in his late twenties, Parker.

Parker might be considered too young for that position but the dude has immense knowledge of leaderships.

He's a ninth level, human essence cultivator which could be graded very good but his martial arts is lacking because up till this age he was only able to become a fourth level, human martial artist.

Neglecting martial arts wasn't a new thing, most of the well known sages didn't even cultivate martial arts at all. but even a martial arts cultivator in the peak of human realm will be able to fight them in battle.

"Parker, this is the third time you're stopping me from killing that child.. you hold me some explanation." Gregor seeped from a tea cup to calm himself down.

"Sure, I really hold you some explanations. you see, killing the boy or kicking him out at this age will only make the young child to engrave this family in his heart and will crave for your head someday."

"That will be if I only banish him from this family. with the resources and reputation I'm gathering I'll be able to take this family up to become a Second grade one but with that boy's present it won't be possible."

"I suggest you reconsider everything."
