Dark Assassin Chronicles 7 Hearing The News

"Tommy, may we come in?" with the meeting over between the Patriarch and the clan elders, Tommy's parents wanted to explain what would be happening to their son.

There was really not telling how Tommy would be taking the news, but the only way that they could help Tommy move forward for the clan itself and their own survival, was to talk to their son like this before the news spread too far.

It was clear that the Patriarch's decision would be known throughout the clan by the morning after, and so it was extremely important that Tommy had heard this from his parents on this night, instead of by others he would run into the next morning.

"I told you both that I am not hungry!" Tommy shouted out from within his room. It has now been a total of one week, and Tommy hadn't left his room after the embarra.s.sment he had to endure while failing the test.

Looking at each other for a breath of time, the pair still decided to open the door and to see their son. Even the weakest cultivators in this world would be able to not eat or drink for at least ten days before real problems would arise.

As a cultivator became stronger, this number would steadily increase since a cultivator could use the energy from the heavens to revitalize themselves. Therefore, the only true delicacies when it came to food and drinks, would be from chefs who poured some of their cultivation power into their foods.

In this region which was extremely poor compared to the other regions of the empire who had enough experts to fill the skies, such a chef would be unheard of since it took a certain level of power to even pursue such an art in this world.

As his parents walked inside his room, Tommy felt even more embarra.s.sed as he stood up to greet his parents with respect. His parents were the only people in this world who he could truly say, had love for him without conditions added on.

"Mother, father, why are you both here to talk so suddenly?" Tommy asked his parents as he sat back down onto his bed. In this moment, he was wearing not a single pricey item and his hair was completely disheveled.

"Tommy, the Patriarch made a decision which will impact your future. Instead of disowning all of us, he told the elders of the clan that he would be sending you off to the Flying Spear clan in a marriage agreement. This way, your life would be safe from any harm our clansmen would want to do, and relations between our clans could slowly soften." Tommy's father told him as his mother gave him a big hug.

"Do not worry sweetie, your mother and father will not allow anyone to mistreat you. If you must know, there are several beauties in the Flying Spear clan that you might actually fancy. Please to make your uncle's life easier as the Patriarch of our clan, do this to repay his kindness." his mother said as Tommy just sat there with a blank face.
