EXILED HEIR IS GOD OF WAR

4.

Kai was astonished, he couldn’t believe or understand what this old man was saying to him and Fabio, understanding this, took it upon himself to explain.

“I know you must be confused but this is how it all happened,” Fabio explained, “you got lost at a very young age, but the Grant family possessed a very great mysterious power.”

“Each member had a life crystal that could locate their kin,” Fabio continued with his explanation and Kai listened with keen interest.

“However, your life crystal had always been in a dormant state, indicating that something had blocked your abilities and so because of that, we couldn’t find you as quickly as we thought we would.” Fabio finished and Kai’s mouth opened slightly.

Kai, after hearing Fabio’s explanation, reflected on his past and he didn’t seem so confused anymore, everything Fabio explained made perfect sense.

The Benson family had always told him that he had an illness and that he needed to drink a secret medicine daily.

Each time Kai took that medicine, he felt his strength ebbing away and that was when it dawned on him now that he had never been sick!

The secret medicine had actually sealed away his powers, preventing him from activating his abilities and making him undetectable by the life crystal.

“I waited years to find you, I’m glad I didn’t lose hope,” Fabio said, hugging his grandson again and feeling his heartbeat against his chest made him smile.

His grandson was indeed alive and he’s holding him right now.

“What happened? I know this isn’t the right time or place but if you could catch me up then I would be most grateful and happy.” Fabio said.

“I need to find the people that made it impossible for us to find you, I almost got swallowed up in a pit of despair.” He added.

Kai was silent for a while as he recalled everything that happened to him. He was glad that someone from his real family had finally found him but it still hurts a bit.

Thinking about how the Benson family had fed him with lies, told him about how nobody wanted him, which was why they adopted him in the first place.

The recent accusation by the sister he put his own life on the line for. Everything started coming back to him and he felt the anger from the betrayal started creeping up.

“It was the Benson family.” He finally said after a while of silence, he could no longer feel the rain pouring on him and that was when he looked up to see that he also had an umbrella over his head.

“The Benson family?!” Fabio said furiously which led Kai into believing that his grandfather knew the Benson family and must also know why they did what they did to him.

“What did they do?” Fabio’s anger was obvious in his voice, he was seething inwardly and more desperate than ever to make the people that had sealed his grandson’s power away suffer.

His fist clenched as his teeth gritted and as he listened to Kai tell him about how they led him to believe he was sick and would always feed him with a strange medicine, his anger grew even more.

Kai soon finished explaining his ordeal and Fabio’s anger got to a point where he couldn’t control it as the gritting of his teeth grew even louder.

“The Benson family did all that?!” He growled angrily, his voice almost causing an earthquake, “I can’t believe it! I can’t believe them!” He was furious.

“I knew it, I knew something strange was going on under the covers,” Fabio said as he placed a finger under his chin which made him look as if he was lost in thoughts.

“Your disappearance was not an accident, we didn’t lose you! It was a premeditated act, Kai! You were kidnapped and it was planned!” He added with conviction.

“If it hadn’t been planned by the Benson family or someone associated with them then where would they have obtained the secret medicine to seal your powers?” His grandfather finished.

Kai’s anger was building up inside him too as he listened to his grandfather’s theory and all of it just made sense, the dots connected and there wasn't a single loose end.

Kai became even more furious than ever and his determination to get revenge on them only increased. Determined, Kai made up his mind to return to the Benson family for revenge.

Fortunately, the head of the Benson family had passed away unexpectedly without revealing the secret about Kai or the medicine to Nora.

All of them had genuinely believed that Kai needed the medicine to survive but what they didn’t know was the fact that their attempt to cut off his supply had inadvertently helped Kai.

“The Benson family had gone too far, what did they think, that they weren’t going to get caught? Did they think that they could get away with this?!” Fabio was outraged by Kai’s ordeal.

“Or did they think that they could keep the Grant family separated for years on end?” He added furiously, chuckling frustratedly as he paced around.

“I was going to find you by hook or crook, I was going to go to move the heavens and the earth just to make sure that I bring you back to the family, they think they could compete against such determination?” He added.

Kai didn’t say anything as he held his grandfather and looked into his eyes, he told his grandfather how glad he was that they were united.

“I didn’t think I had any family left but then you showed up, I’m more than happy with this.” Kai said and the old man’s eyes glistened with tears.

“You know what, they have to pay! All of them have to pay for everything they put you through.” Fabio said firmly.

“What would you suggest I do?” Kai asked, ready to do everything in his power to make sure that the Benson family regretted their actions.

“You’re going to seek revenge on them but you’d do that without revealing your true identity.” Fabio said and that was exactly what Kai had in mind too.

“The Benson family could not have developed such a medicine on their own; they must have had the support of another mysterious power.” Fabio added.

“This is a conspiracy against the Grant family and you must reveal who is helping them from behind the scenes.”
