Mr. Spencer looked down at Cyrus and nodded respectfully. "As expected of Young Master Cyrus' lineage… Soren is a beast that Young Master Luca obtained recently."
"A weak beast…" Cyrus scoffed.
"It's fine..." The little beast patted his c.h.e.s.t proudly as he said, "I'm higher in rank than him, so don't worry about it… You saw it. He's instinctively afraid of me."
"I'm not worried," Juin blushed slightly. But this reminded him of something. Even if most supernatural humans couldn't tell, beasts could tell that Cyrus was of a high ranking lineage. Juin immediately made a mental note to tell Cyrus to keep his aura under check before Presley could notice anything about him.
"Soren is a special servant… He only serves Young Master Luca, so no one else can order him around, except, of course, President Presley…"
"What is Soren, Mr. Spencer?" Juin asked as they continued to the dining room.
"He's a Griffin," Mr. Spencer replied. "President Presley bought him from the underground slave traders recently and organized an internal competition, which Young Master Luca won. Since then, Soren has been with him."
"I thought that normally, beasts are turned into spirit beasts…" Juin said.
Mr. Spencer nodded. "Yes, but Young Master Luca thinks that Soren is too weak to be his spirit beast, so he's keeping him as a pet for now…"
"Weak?"
"A spirit beast, despite not really having a physical body, still requires sustenance, which is usually provided in the form of soul power by the owner of the spirit beast, so it's not an easy thing to maintain a spirit beast as one would need to have a huge soul power reserve for it. Young Master Juin, by now, you should know that right?"
Juin nodded.
While talking, they arrived at one of the smaller dining rooms. Mr. Spencer turned to look at Juin and said, "As such, it would be wiser to keep only one spirit beast at a time. For someone of Young Master Luca's age, also given the fact that he's just a gifted human, it means that it's better for him to focus on building his soul power reserve instead of having multiple spirit beasts."
Juin slowly nodded, but in his mind, he was thinking, "But Taka has more than one right? That bracelet that he was wearing…"
His eyes narrowed slightly as he tried to recall Taka's bracelet, which he had seen a couple of times and had paid attention to because of its uniqueness. "There were three, right? Three different looking beads…" Juin thought to himself, and he remembered how one of the beads dimmed when the bird was killed by Lucifer's Soul Beast.
As he took his seat with Cyrus sitting right next to him, he had a pensive look on his face. "If even Luca was reluctant to keep a Spirit Beast, does that mean that Taka's soul power reserve is alarmingly huge?"
When the servants placed the sandwiches, cakes, and tea in front of them, both the boys thanked them. However, while Cyrus dug in happily after a couple of sniffs, Juin's mind was elsewhere.
"Is the food not to your liking, Young Master Juin? Please let us know. President Presley told us to make sure that you're comfortable and happy here…" said Mr. Spencer.
"It's fine…" Juin mumbled as he took a piece of strawberry cake and placed it on his plate. Instead of eating straight, however, he looked up at Mr. Spencer, who was standing next to the empty host chair, and asked, "Have you ever heard of Taka Nakamura, Mr. Spencer?"
"Taka Nakamura?" Mr. Spencer's blue eyes widened slightly, but it went back to normal quickly as he nodded. "Yes, I know who Mr. Taka is… And I also know about the fight with Taka Nakamura."
Juin wasn't surprised that the news traveled that fast, that even someone living hours away, and in a forest, would even know.
"How strong is he?"
"Since young, Mr. Taka has been carefully groomed to take over the Nakamura Family. Of all those from his generation, none could beat him, and his strength actually surpassed half of those from his father's generation. He's said to be an unprecedented genius."
"So what? We still beat his a*s!" Cyrus said with a mouth that was covered with cream.
With a sigh, Juin then continued asking Mr. Spencer, "How about his sister?"
"Well, Ms. Mika is a lot weaker when compared to her brothers. Since her birth is unexpected, and because of the 'curse' in the family, she's been neglected by her parents, and it's mostly her paternal grandmother who has been training her. There are even rumors that her parents considered to end her life before, but they were stopped by her paternal grandmother, who was running the household then… But of course, that was just a rumor."
Juin frowned, wondering if that was true. If it was, then Mika Nakamura's life was a lot worse than his. Suddenly, he realized that Mr. Spencer said something odd, which did not seem to befit his strict-like character.
With a brow raised inquisitively, Juin asked, "Brothers? You said brothers. She has another one, or more??"
Mr. Spencer nodded. Just as he was about to say something, Luca Rockefeller walked into the room, followed closely by his "pet", Soren. "Young Master Luca," Mr. Spencer greeted him with a bow.
Luca Rockefeller ignored him. He glared at Juin as he took the seat opposite his nemesis.
"Mr. Spencer," Juin rolled his eyes at Luca and looked at Mr. Spencer as he said, "you were about to say?"
"Oh!" Mr. Spencer nodded. "Yes, Ms. Mika has another brother. See, originally, there was supposed to be a pair of twin sons."
"Twins?!" Juin gasped; his eyes widening.
"Pfft, you didn't even know this simple fact!" Luca sneered as he picked up his cup of tea sweetened with condensed milk.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
