When Jason woke up he didn't take long to notice that he was lying inside a large and comfortable bed.
Yet, instead of resting a little bit longer which his body and mind needed, Jason got out of the bed.
He was in a hurry because he was not sure how long he had slept!
What if something happened to his masters while they fought on the Shaibi clan's side against the Myldra's army!
Jason had a bad premonition and he couldn't tell why, but something was bothering him!
As such he rushed outside the unknown room he had slept inside.
Rushing through the floor he entered, Jason used his mana eyes to perceive everything in the surrounding area.
There were only a few people around him, but he could tell that they had a low mana core rank.
When he saw the first servant in front of him, Jason rushed towards the young maid, who seemed astonished that he was already awake.
"Good Morning young Lord, how are you feeling? We were told that you would be asleep for a few more days..."
Yet, Jason didn't even listen as he started to ask multiple questions in succession.
"How long have I slept? What exactly happened on the battlefield against the Myldra army?? Do you know where my masters are???"
Jason was not even sure if the young maid knew who his masters were, but he couldn't help but be worried about them.
However, after the young maid answered him, he was able to calm down.
"Young Lord has slept for four days, and the Myldra race retreated after the first clashes! The whole fight took less than three hours. Young Lord and the Ariyor were the last ones to return from the battlefield.
About Young Lord's masters, Sir and Madame Blair are currently dinning with the Shaibi clan patriarch. They seem to be old acquaintances!"
After Jason had heard the young maid's words, he thanked her before rushing off.
Only then did he realize that the young maid was staring intently at him.
This caused him to look down, and he noticed why she had been staring at him.
Jason was only wearing underwear right now!
As such, he took a new set of clothes out of his spatial ring before he put it on, only to rush ahead.
'The maid called me young lord and seems to know about Shane and Dalia! Has their identity been discovered??'
Because of this thought, Jason couldn't help but worry.
The moment Jason left the large mansion he had slept inside, he manifested Artemis' wings.
Soaring into the sky, he took a proper look in his surroundings, only to figure out that he was in the noble district of the Shaibi clan's headquarters.
Apparently, the whole clan was constructed like a small city, and Jason had been oblivious to this fact.
To him, it was not important whether the Shiabi clan headquarters was like a city, town, or only a single building.
It didn't matter, and more important was to figure out whether Shane and Dalia's identity has been discovered or not!!
He circulated a large amount of mana through his whole body, which included Artemis' wings as he flew ahead.
Only five minutes later he had already appeared in front of the patriarch's dining hall.
There were several guards protecting the gates of the dining hall, which was something entirely useless in Jason's opinion.
Their strength was not even at the Prismar stage and both Shane and the Shaibi clan patriarch were much stronger than them!
Jason would have had problems forcing his way through the guards, but the moment they saw him they bowed deeply towards him.
This astonished him a little bit and the fact that they let him through the gates told him that everyone knew something he was oblivious to.
However, the moment he entered the dining hall that was filled with several dozen humans, Jason couldn't help but feel weird.
His friends, masters, Emily, and many people with high-ranked mana cores were present.
That was not all because there were also a few Ariyor, namely Midra, Fasro, and Ysla!
Jason had already been aware of who he would encounter within the dining hall because his mana eyes revealed this fact, but he was still astonished.
They were simply dining as if nothing had happened during the last few days and the fact that Jason appeared in front of them with disarranged clothes seemed to be the only incident that was out of the ordinary!
When Jason saw how everyone was eating so unbothered, he unintentionally said
"What kind of bullsh*t is that? I hope this is a bad dream"
Jason's voice was loud enough to be heard by everyone. Both Shane and Dalia couldn't help but stiffen for a moment before they glared at their disciple.
The Shiabi clan's patriarch smiled lightly and he was about to say something as Fasro exclaimed
"You're already awake? Our healer estimated that you would need another week to replenish your energy, mana, and mental state!!"
He sounded astonished, and when Jason heard this, he averted his attention from his masters to Fasro and his two siblings as he said
"My Origin flame is special as you might know. My mental state didn't receive a backlash or anything like that!"
It was possible for everyone to receive deep mental injuries when one fought for several hours while utilizing one's full combat prowess the entire time.
However, Jason was still fine, if he were to ignore his exhaustion.
In his opinion eating enough and resting a little bit should be the solution to this problem.
Nevertheless, Jason didn't care about this issue right now. He wanted to know what happened on the battlefield against the Myldra race.
He stared at Shane, who could only scratch the back of his head as he said with a faint smile
"I think you've already guessed it, but my identity has been exposed"
Shane wanted to continue explaining something as Jason intervened
"Why are you even smiling right now? The Myldra race colludes with the Drake family and I doubt that the Drake family patriarch will stay idle when he hears about your existence here?? And now everyone is dining here as if nothing had happened? Why does that seem wrong to me?"
However, Dalia couldn't help but defend Shane when she heard Jason's words.
"Jason, calm down first! We know that you're worried about us, but it has already happened. We can't turn back time, right? Instead of being bothered about what has happened, let's take care of the present and future! Our Identity has been exposed, but the Mldra race has retreated which gives us a small advantage!
Furthermore, we heard what you've done. Great Job, we are proud of you!"
Jason wanted to explode once again, but when he heard Dalia's words, he couldn't help but quiet down.
Only a moment later, Shane pulled back the empty chair next to him as he said
"You should be hungry, eat something first. We were about to discuss our next steps and only stopped by to eat something"
He was a little bit embarrassed about his outburst, but nobody seemed to mind that.
Everyone could tell that Jason had been worried about his masters, which was a good trait.
With that in mind, the situation didn't turn awkward. Jason sat down next to Shane to dine with them.
Jason was still feeling a little bit exhausted and weak, but when Solaris told him that it could help, his interest was ignited.
As such Solaris and Artemis changed the position within the mana core and the black origin flame emerged within his body.
It swept through his entire body within a single moment, and Jason felt invigorated.
This astonished him and he began to question how Solaris was capable of doing something like this.
'Is that your new life force absorption ability??' Jason transmitted to Solaris, who seemed to answer him with a nod.
At least that was how Jason perceived Solaris' answer to be.
From the looks of it, Solaris was able to transfer the life force it could absorb to Jason.
They were bound to each other and the fortified soul conjunction should have been the reason for this to be possible.
This new ability was a great asset, but both Artemis and Scorpio seemed to be displeased.
They were jealous about the fact that Solaris was able to become so much stronger in such a short amount of time, and that Jason focused on using Solaris instead of them too!
Their whole existence seemed to have turned insignificant to Jason.
At least that was how they felt, and they had yet to find a solution about how they could change this problem!
