BXBX NOVEL Chapter 293 Hannah
Both wore purple clothes and looked normal, but despite that, they had an air of dominance around them that required everyone\'s reverence. This was especially true for the old lady.
The young girl looked to be the same age as Leticia. She glanced at the old lady, who had her eyes closed, with a respectful expression, and asked curiously, "Grandma, do you think they can hatch this golden python\'s egg?"
The old lady opened her eyes and glanced at the girl with a gentle expression, and said, "The first thing you need to know before trying to hatch a high levelled beast egg is their species and the element they possess, and I\'m afraid only a handful of people in the beast clans and from the supreme forces can recognise this egg as the golden-winged python\'s egg. So, as long as they aren\'t one of those people, it doesn\'t matter even if they have the required resources; this egg won\'t hatch."
The young girl\'s eyes gleamed upon hearing this, and she asked, "Grandma, since you recognise this, why don\'t we buy it? It would be great if our family had a golden-winged python, it would increase our strength and help us defend against those people."
The old lady\'s eyes also gleamed for a moment before she sighed and shook her head, "There is no use. Although I know of its species and element, we don\'t have enough resources to hatch it. Maybe I could use my energy to hatch it if I wasn\'t injured."
"Um, can\'t we buy it and hatch it when you recover?" The young girl hesitantly asked.
The old lady smiled bitterly upon hearing this and said, "We can\'t. This egg is many decades old, and the probability of it hatching is very low. So, it isn\'t wise to waste our remaining Mana stones on this."
After saying this, she sighed inwardly and thought, \'Only if my spatial ring weren\'t destroyed in that fight, we wouldn\'t have to spend so sparingly and could buy this egg without any concern. Sigh, such a treasure would go to someone else now.\'
Hearing the old lady\'s words, the young girl went silent. She rubbed the purple ring on her finger and thought, \'I should\'ve stored more Mana stones in my ring when we fled.\'
As she remembered how they were forced to flee their home, the images of her family member being killed flashed before her eyes.
Boom!
Purple lightning surged out of her body along with dense killing intent, and her eyes also turned purple. "When I reach the monarch stage, I\'ll make sure to kill every one of those scum bastards and get back everything that was rightfully ours." She swore.
Seeing her sudden outburst, the old lady sighed and patted her head, "I\'m sure you will." After a pause, she added, "And if we can find our heirloom weapon, the revenge will be easier."
The young girl calmed down, and the lightning around her vanished. However, an expression of resentment appeared on her face when she heard about the heirloom weapon and said through gritted teeth, "If grandma had that sword, you wouldn\'t have gotten injured. Why did she have to take our heirloom sword when she abandoned us to die."
The old lady sighed again and said, "Little Gene. You shouldn\'t blame your aunt. She sacrificed a lot for us. We would\'ve died years ago if it weren\'t for her."
"What do you mean, grandma? Didn\'t she steal that sword because of her greed?" The young girl name little Gene asked in confusion. Ever since she was born, she had heard everyone say that her aunt had stolen their heirloom weapon, causing their family strength to lessen significantly.
So, when their enemy force found out about this, they took advantage and killed the strongest members of our family and massacred many others. Only a few people were able to escape with their lives.
"No, that\'s not true." The old lady shook her head and said, "Your aunt didn\'t steal it but was entrusted with it by the then-family leader, who asked her to escape with it so that it won\'t fall into the enemy\'s hands."
Seeing Gene\'s confused expression, she continued, "You know our Valiant family and the thunder family had always been mortal enemies, and they always coveted our heirloom weapon. However, because our families were of similar strength, we were always in a stalemate.
However, 25 years ago, the thunder family birthed two new monarch-rank mages. Although the thunder family tried to hide their existence to take us by surprise and annihilate us, the family leader somehow found out about it. Just before they attacked, he had sent many family members away so that they could survive the incoming massacre.
Unfortunately, they were all killed because the supreme elder\'s faction had betrayed the family and informed the thunder family about it. The family leader knew they wouldn\'t survive now, and because he couldn\'t trust anyone because he suspected the people under him also to betray him and join the supreme elder\'s faction, he gave our heirloom sword to his daughter and your aunt, Hannah, and sent her away with four of his most trusted people.
He did this because she was the most talented person among the younger generation and had the potential to use the sword to its full potential when she became a monarch mage. So, he hoped she would avenge the family when the time came. However, who knew that two of his most trusted people would also betray him?
While they were escaping, those two bastards took the other two elders off guard and severely injured them. They wanted to kill them all and give the heirloom sword to the thunder family so they would spare their pathetic lives. However, although injured, the other two elders fought with their lives on the line and helped your aunt Hannah to escape."
The old lady\'s eyes had reddened when she finished saying until now. After calming down, she said, "You know, she was only a three-star mage at that time and had to traverse the dangerous area between the central plains and the outer area alone, but she still did because she knew if she stayed in the vicinity of the central plains, the thunder family and the supreme elder\'s faction could easily find her, and once they had our heirloom sword, the Valiant family would be doomed."
When Gene heard the whole story, she understood why they were allowed to live even though they didn\'t join the supreme elder\'s faction. The thunder family and the supreme elder\'s faction were keeping them alive because they believed that her aunt Hannah would come back to save them, and if they killed them, she might not show up, and the heirloom sword would forever be lost.
After realising this, she felt angry and guilty that she blamed everything on her aunt.
After a while, she asked, "Grandma, didn\'t you tell me that aunt Hannah had already died? So, how would we find our heirloom sword now?"
