Greatest Legacy of the Magus Universe - Chapter 211

Chapter 211: Kitty
Adam and Edward couldn’t help but smile warmly seeing the touching reunion of Lisa’s family. Suddenly, a gray light flashed and Valerian appeared out of nowhere.

He acrobatically landed on the ground and then ran toward Lisa, climbed her shoulders, and then gave her a warm hug as well. “Myu~”

“Little Val…” Lisa sniffled seeing the cute little cat. “Come, I haven’t forgotten you.”

Jamie gasped in surprise. “A kitty!”

“Rawr~” Valerian waved his tiny paw at the young boy, seeming saying, ‘I am a mighty dragon!’

Adam couldn’t help but chuckle seeing such a scene unfold. He then saw his butler walk toward him with a smile on his face.

“Long time no see, Barry.” He patted the man’s shoulder. “How have you been?”

Barry respectfully bowed. “I have been doing quite alright, my lord.” He then deeply gazed at the youth, specifically the deep scar running across his face and the look in his black eyes.

“You have grown, my lord.”

Adam thought back to all the ordeals he had to go through in the secret plane. In the end, he nodded with a faint smile. “I guess I have.”

He was the first one to head inside, leaving Lisa to catch up with her family. Meanwhile, Edward stood there like an idiot, wondering how he should get acquainted with Lisa’s mother and younger sibling.

As for Valeiran…

‘Brother, save me!’ The little guy hurriedly followed after Adam, his face full of annoyance. ‘This little human is after my life!’

“Heehee, kitty, come play with me~” Jamie ran after Valerian, having found a new playmate after being bored for months.

“Myuuu!”

…

“It’s been almost five years since I last saw you.” Laura gently caressed Lisa’s cheek with tearful eyes. “How have you been, my sweet child?”

“Mother…” Lisa struggled to contain her tears. “I’ve been well. But enough about me. When did you arrive here?”

“I think it’s been close to half a year now since that elven lady brought us to Moon City,” Laura replied while wiping away her tears and beaming with a radiant smile.

She then glanced at the blue-eyed young man sitting beside her daughter with a curious gaze. She turned back to look at Lisa and asked, “Could this… perhaps be Adam that I’ve heard so much about?”

Laura was immensely grateful for what her daughter’s friend, Adam, had done for them. As far as she was concerned, if it wasn’t for this young man, she would have never made it safely to this city.

But more importantly, Jamie would not have been able to leave the Gracie Household. It would suffice to say that she was greatly indebted to Adam.

Lisa shook her head with a chuckle, “No, Adam’s the other boy who went upstairs just now.”

“Oh? You mean scarface?” Laura asked in a hushed tone.

In her mind, she always thought Adam would be a dashing young man much like Edward. Never would she have imagined him to be the other plain-looking guy with such a menacing scar on his face.

“Yes, yes, the scarface,” Lisa giggled. “That’s quite the nickname.”

“Hmm, I see…” Laura had an awkward expression plastered on her face. She then cast a glance at Edward and asked, “Then who might you be—”

Before she could even finish her question, Edward had already shot to his feet, standing straight as an arrow. “Hello, ma’am! How are you? I am good, thanks for asking. My name is Edward Turner! It’s a pleasure to meet you! Yes, you too!”

Edward, for some reason, felt so nervous that he ended up spitting out whatever he could think of. It was only after he had said it that embarrassment hit him like a ton of bricks, and he couldn’t help but think of finding himself a hole to hide under.

“You don’t have to be so tense, child.” Laura was first surprised but broke into a smile after. She found Edward’s actions very adorable. “Please, sit down.”

“Yes, ma’am.” Edward respectfully replied and sat back down, however, his posture was still stiff. Even in front of his father, he had never felt this anxious.

What’s wrong with me?! He screamed inwardly.

“No need to call me ma’am. Since you’re Lisa’s friend, you can just call me aunty, okay?”

“Uh, yes, Aunty.” Edward couldn’t help but smile warmly.

“Mommy, Lisa, look, I finally caught him! Heehee!” Jamie suddenly came running to the living room with Valerian in his arms.

The little guy had a suicidal expression on his face. When he saw Lisa and Edward, he couldn’t help but reach out to them with his paws. “Myuuuu…”

“Now, now, Little Jamie, don’t treat Val like he’s a cat.” Lisa got up from her seat and gently picked the little guy from her brother’s arms.

She then sat back down on the couch, patting the young dragon’s back. “He’s not just any cat. He’s Adam’s familiar, a magical cat.”

“Whoa~” Jamie’s eyes shone so bright that they almost blinded everyone else in the room. He ran toward Lisa and deeply stared at Valerian who was on her lap.

“Can I keep him? I love magical cats!”

“Rawr~” Valerian hissed at the ignorant youth. Inwardly, he was roaring, ‘I’m a dragon! Not a cat! Myuuu!’

“No, Little Jamie.” Lisa fondly ruffled her brother’s hair. “He’s Adam’s familiar and shares a special bond with him. You can’t take Val just because you like him.”

“Myu! Myu!” Valerian crossed his paws and seriously nodded.

“Aww…” Jamie’s expression turned dull. “But I really like cats…”

“Don’t worry, Jamie,” Edward comforted him. “When you become a Magus, you too can bond with a cat familiar.”

“Really?!”

“Really.” Edward nodded with a chuckle.

“Okie~” Jamie jumped in excitement. He then suspiciously glanced at the blue-eyed youth and thought of something funny. He covered his mouth and giggled mischievously. “Are you Lisa’s boyfriend?”

“What?!” Both Edward and Lisa turned red from embarrassment.

“Ehehe, looks like I’m right.” Jamie’s eyes turned into the shape of a crescent moon and his lips curled up into a smug smile.

“You!” Lisa got up from the couch and chased Jamie around the room. “Do you think you’ve become old enough to tease your elder sister? How dare you!”

Seeing such a lively scene, Laura couldn’t help but smile warmly. A drop of tear streamed down her face and she wiped it away, thinking to herself, Oh, how long I’ve waited for this moment when all of us would be together.

Suddenly, she saw Valerian jump from the couch and run toward the entrance of the living room. There, a tall, young man with long raven hair tied into a ponytail, and a deep scar running across his face was standing with a faint smile adorning his lips.

Laura’s eyes lit up and she quickly walked toward him. “You must be Adam, yes?”

Adam looked at Lisa’s mother who was a splitting image of her. He smiled brightly. “Hello, Aunty, nice to finally—Ehh?!”
