Five days later, at the cemetery ground,
The place that was once dead silent and devoid of people is now different. Many people in black clothes are present at the ground. Whispers and murmurs can be heard all around.
Today is the day to bury the dead bodies of those who died on the dungeon raid. Many family members of the deceased have arrived at the cemetery.
The special thing about this funeral is that it is prepared by the Gracia family.
Kenneth Gracia has arranged this with his own personal resources.
Normally, the funeral would have been held in government properties reserved by the government only. But those places are usually plain and not so secure.
But this time, the cemetery belongs to one of the elite families in the country.
They have much influence all over the country. The Gracia family's name is generally associated with money and resources.
Due to the name of Gracia, many big families are participating in this funeral.
As people talk with each other...
A shiny car enters the cemetery. Since no other car than Gracia family's car is allowed in the cemetery, everyone has already guessed who is in the car.
The doors of the car open, and figures start to emerge from the car.
The first one to come out is none other than the main butler of the Gracia family, Leo.
Many know that Leo is a big figure in the whole nation because he is one of the top few SS-Rank figures in the country. But nobody knows why he is serving the family whose head is at the same level as him.
After Leo, many security guards emerge, and after checking the perimeter, other figures also start to emerge.
The first one from the Gracia family to emerge is the head of the family himself and his mistress, Victoria Gracia. The mistress of the Gracia family is one of the most beautiful figures in the whole country. She is also a top S-Rank hunter. She has a height of 6 feet, and her face is beautifully drawn. Her eyes are sharp and warm at the same time. Her chin has an equal proportion on both sides, and her eyes have green pupils which make many men desire her.
After them are the son and daughter of Kinnight. Many people already recognized them because rumors are already spreading in the crowd. They know that Kinnight and Gracia are close friends and aren't surprised when the two kids are around.
Soon the atmosphere becomes heavy. Many families at first try to start a conversation, but seeing the heavy atmosphere, they do not dare to interrupt the gloomy atmosphere. After all, this is the area of the Gracia family.
There are many people whom I don't know, and many whom I had seen on television, thinks Yukesh as he examines the environment.
I know most of them are here to form a connection with the Gracia family rather than to empathize with others. After all, I am not naive enough to not understand the situation, ponders Yukesh while making a face of disgust, which many missed out except one.
"Brother, are you alright?" The voice is of a small girl from the side of Yukesh.
When he turns around, there is a small figure who is around 4.2 feet tall and around 12 years of age.
Her face is like the mother of Yukesh, black hair and black pupils which increase the aesthetic of her face and also a proportional chin and leveled jawline.
She falls into the category of city beauty even in her teens.
"Yeah, I am just disgusted seeing all these wolves. Don't worry and don't wander too far, okay?"
"Hmm," Mary nods her head.
"Don't worry, brother. I will not let others ruin this moment," states Mary.
Seeing his little sister trying to lighten up his mood makes him feel good. He knows she is suffering equally to him or more, but seeing she trying to hide that so her brother will not have to worry about her is the best thing he can ask for.
"Don't say silly things. Your brother should protect you, not the other way around," speaks Yukesh with confidence.
Seeing her brother speaking casually, Mary nods with a small smile.
Soon some people start to gather around him and her, asking random questions, but they are soon chased out by Kinneth.
Then nothing major happens at the funeral.
As the funeral progresses, more and more people start to gather around the Gracia family members, making excuses of the children.
Seeing this, Yukesh's mood is getting uglier and uglier, but he does not let it come to his face.
As everything is progressing well, soon commotion is heard at the gate. The sound of gunshots is heard again and again.
Listening to this, many people have confused faces, and Kinneth too has a confused face.
But the confusion doesn't last for long as soon a black car with a beautiful exterior comes into view.
Seeing a car other than Gracia family's car, many people have shocked faces.
Soon, commotion starts. People start to whisper to each other. Many people start to speculate about the identity of the person.
The doors open, and the first person to get off the car is a guy with an eye patch, lean body, and a scar on his face.
After seeing that the area is clear, another person emerges from the car.
This time, unlike the first guy, this guy is handsome and has black hair.
Many people stare at him for a while because they have never seen this face around here.
____******
The guy soon releases his aura, surprising the onlookers.
Even Kinneth is surprised because the guy in front of him is an SS Ranker, at the top SS ranker, same as him.
The most surprising part, however, is that he isn't someone he knows or has heard about in any news.
But that surprise doesn't last as his butler tells him who he is.
The person standing in front of him is from the Sato family from the east country.
What is he doing here? Many questions start to arise in his mind.
Hiroto explores his surroundings, sensing two SS rankers. He is surprised but not as much as the other party.
Then, from behind the patch guy, something whispers in his ear, pointing at the two children.
Seeing him pointing towards Yukesh and Mary, the tension in the air further increases.
Since both parties are releasing their power, some people either faint or kneel.
Even Yukesh and Mary are having a hard time, but not as much as others, since the Mistress of the Gracia family is protecting them.
"Who are you? Why did you infiltrate this place?" Kenneth commands in an authoritative voice. He is pointing his aura towards Hiroto, but the other party is unfazed.
Seeing the question, Hiroto takes a step towards the siblings.
Seeing this, Kenneth doesn't wait for the ceremony and instantly rushes toward Hiroto.
Kenneth moves so fast that, for the onlookers, he looks like he teleported.
Soon, in front of Hiroto, when the punch is reaching his face, suddenly the hand comes in front of Hiroto, stopping the punch. From the shockwave of both powerhouses meeting in one point, the onlookers are blown away from the fighting zone.
Even some bodyguards and A-Rankers aren't able to stand their ground there.
The only ones standing in the zone are the siblings, the mistress of the house, and the butler.
Leo has face like he is enjoying his master clash.
But noone knew since all people are busy observing the clash
After exchanging the first clash they both were able to measures the strength of other party.
Seeing that the first punch ineffective he again make him self ready for fight but as he was ready to sprint toward the hiroto.
Other party reached him first . Hiroto is in front of him and his legs are in front of his face
In time Kenneth took the defensive stance but the shock of kick was greater than before .
