Chapter 1535 Return
1535 Return
Two years ago, two people arrived at the Kandrian Empire, passing through the transit port.
"We've arrived,' Kane told Xanarn.
Xanarn took a few steps forward as she spread her senses across the transit port town. "So...this is the Kandrian Empire, this is his home nation."
"We've still got some ways to go before we reach the town of Hajin," Kane remarked. "But this is where we split. You have the map that he gave you, so you should be fine by yourself right?"
She nodded. "Well then, goodbye and good luck. You've worked hard in the past two years since he left. Regardless of what happens, none of that was for waste."
The two of them split paths as Kane headed straight home while Xanarn headed towards the orphanage.

His heart beat faster the closer he got to the Arrancar Mansion, reaching its peak when he arrived at the main gate.
"...Young Master Kane?!" One of the guards gasped.
"Clear the way," Kane ordered with a steely voice.
The two guards open the gates, watching him pass through as the security office adjacent to it scrambled to send a message to the security team and the staff. Who further passed on the messages to the main family.
The news spread like wildfire.
The prodigy of the Arrancar family had returned.
A series of Martial Squires swiftly appeared before him, surrounding him.
"You little shit..." One of them growled, stepping forward to him. "You have some balls coming back after all this time. You should have stayed away forever, if you knew what's best for you."
"Best for me...?" Kane asked, smirking. "Or best for you, big brother?"
The man before him narrowed his eyes.
Kane could tell he had struck a nerve.
He didn't feel a rush or a drive for more power like Rui seemed to when he was about to fight Ieyasu.
He didn't feel like he was close.
"His Excellency wishes to speak with you," The Martial Senior calmly informed Kane.
"I have nothing to say to him," Kane growled. "I came here for my stateme-"
"His Excellency has agreed to all of your demands," The Martial Senior interrupted him. "Now then...Do not keep him waiting any longer."
Kane simply stared at him stunned, speechless. "What...?"
"It would be wise not to keep His Excellency waiting," The Martial Seniors narrowed his eyes, repeating himself.
This was not how things were supposed to go. He had come here for a fight, hoping that he would be overwhelmed by the Arrancar's Family's superior forces, awakening his Martial Heart to obtain the power needed to maintain his desire for freedom and escape from his family.
Yet his father had agreed to all his demands?
"Young Master," The Martial Senior calmly addressed him. "Please come immediately. He wishes to speak to you."
Kane narrowed his eyes, nodding slowly.
It wasn't long before he found himself in a cave deep underground. An unrefined cave with merely the bare necessities and none of the luxury or extravagance that the rest of the household had.
Even before he entered the cave, he felt his nerves tingle.
His soul screamed.
He had experienced this many times, yet each time may as well have been the first time.
The very air he breathed was different
The very land he stepped on had changed.
It was as though heaven and earth warped in the man's presence, prostrating in awe to the magnificence of his being.
"So..." A deep masculine voice rippled through the air and land.
It reverberated through the very fabric of space itself.
"The boy who ran away has come back home, has he?"
