Even though Leo knew that this world was filled with different types of beasts including the plant-type beasts, he didn't expect the huge lotus that his mother was sitting on, was a beast.
Because, it looked just like any other lotuses he had seen in the past except for its size.
'I think it's time to get a pet of my own in this world.'
Leo already has so many pets; however, he could not bring them into his reincarnation. Hence, he was planning to get a couple of pets and started training with them as soon as possible.
Even though he had a couple of items that could protect him, he wanted to have a strength where he could venture to any part of this world so that he could collect the necessary ingredients for the Strengthened Awakening Potion.
"Uncle Grey"
Soon, Leo saw a middle-aged man wearing green coloured robes.
"Little Leo, you have grown a lot since I last saw you."
The middle-aged man picked up the running Leo and said with a gentle smile.
"Uncle, I learned what this bracelet is useful for."
Since Leo wanted a pet from the Beast Ranch that his uncle owns, Leo directly spoke about the bracelet.
"You learned about the usage of the Bracelet?"
Uncle Grey acted a little surprised and asked, "Then, why don't you tell me what its uses are?"
"If I tell you, you will keep your promise, right?"
"Of course, your uncle is not someone who goes back on his word."
Uncle Grey assured Leo with a smile and waited for Leo to say the uses of the Bracelet he had given.
"It's called 'Bracelet of Hidden Nest' and when I am in danger, I will be sucked into that nest hidden inside the spatial crack."
"Other than that, I can store limited things inside this bracelet."
For the last six years, Leo had only met his Uncle for less than 10 times but he trusts him. Hence, he said everything about the 'Bracelet of Hidden Nest' that Leo gained from his talent [Quasi-Divine Knowledge].
"My nephew is so intelligent that he had already figured out the uses of the bracelet. It looks like I have to take you to my Beast Ranch."
Uncle Grade looked surprised on the surface; however, he thought, 'It looks like he used his antics to gain the information about the bracelet from his mother.'
For a kid who was only six years old and without any beast tamer's talent, it is impossible to figure out the effects of an item in such a detailed manner.
Hence, the conclusion Uncle Grey came to after listening to Leo was that Seraphina must have said the information about the bracelet.
"Excellent."
On the other hand, Leo knew what Uncle Grey was thinking but it was all within his plan as he hurriedly asked, "When are we going to the Beast Ranch to pick my pet?"
"Let's go today after informing your mother and grandfather."
Uncle Grey nodded as he went to meet Magnus and Sera while asking Leo to play outside.
…..
Inside the main hall of the Moonshadow family,
"Grey, didn't I say that I will not send my grandson back to your family until your big brother Vale returns?"
"Lord Magnus, I know what you are worried about; however, do you think it will do any good if we let the future head of the Stormrider Family live in Moonshadow Family?"
Uncle Grey continued, "The elders of the family had already used this as an excuse to find faults about Leo and if he continued to stay, he would have no one to follow him in the family."
"So what? If no one wants him in the Stormrider Family, I will give him my Moonshadow Family to lead."
Magnus was already frstuated about his son-in-law, who disappeared without a trace for six years and didn't want his grandson to live among a group of old fools who wanted nothing but to take control of the family.
"So, are you telling me that you are not going to send him with me back to the Stormrider Family?"
The discussion went on for a while before Uncle Grey's tone changed and at the same time, a silhouette could be seen slowly coming out of his body.
"Do you think you can force your way in my family grounds?"
As a reply to Uncle Grey's question, the old man released his aura and more than a dozen black-coloured vines slowly creeped out of Magnus's shadow.
"Shall we find that out?"
Uncle Grey's muscles enlarged as he scoffed at the old man.
"You are just like your elder brother, showing no respect to the elders. I think I should teach you some manners today."
"Father, Grey, stop it."
Just when the seriousness of the situation was escalating to another level, Seraphina stopped both of them with a single line and around her, lotus petals hovered and were ready to attack them at any time.
"Grey, you can take Leo with you; however, if something happens to him…."
"Don't worry about Leo, sister-in-law."
Grey's behavious completely changed in a docile pet as he hurriedly replied to Sera and at the same time, he asked, "What about you, sister-in-law?"
"If I don't stay back, do you think that the other two families let the Moonshadow family live in peace?"
Sera shook her head and continued, "If your brother didn't disappear, no one would have bothered our two families now…sigh."
"..."
Uncle Grey remained silent for a moment before nodding his head in understanding, "Understood."
| "Sera"
Magnus was against tha decision and wanted to stop Uncle Grey; however, Sera replied, "Father, I think it's better for Leo to live in the Stormrider Family because even with my husband, they are still much stronger than us."
"Sorry daughter, it's all because of me. If only I had not been greedy in taming Shadow Moon Wolf, I would have not been injured."
Magnus apologized as he blamed himself.
"It's not your fault, father. If you had succeeded, the entire family would have benefited."
