Chapter 15: Zaephiel Dreklara
"Gulp."
The doctor sitting on the sofa gulped in fear as he stared straight ahead. Sitting opposite him was a woman—
A stunningly beautiful one at that. Her pure silver hair flowed freely down her back. Her sharp purple eyes were focused on the paper in her hand as she read silently. Dressed in a tailored suit, her pale, smooth skin glistened under the light. She looked no older than twenty.
Two women in black suits stood silently behind her.
"So what you’re saying is that the kid who was being abused by his parents was only rescued because the neighbors noticed something odd and reported it, but the parents managed to escape, leaving the child behind. And the child after being rescued by the police, he was admitted to this hospital with injuries so severe that it would’ve taken over a year to recover. But just yesterday, he woke up fully healed, sitting upright when the nurse returned to check on him. And when you visited, you saw his golden, glowing eyes. But up until now, he was just a normal human with no signs of a God bloodline. Am I correct?" she said, summarizing the report in her hand.
"Yes," the doctor replied quickly. "And after that, I immediately contacted the Association to report it."
"I see," she said, putting the reports down and crossing one leg over the other.
The doctor continued, "And I didn’t expect the Association president herself to come here to take him."
"Well of course I would. Do you know just how rare and special dormant bloodline possessors are—especially those who awaken their bloodline on their own, without any outside help? My father is one such example. Scorned and hated by every single member of our clan—until he awakened his bloodline on the verge of death, becoming the strongest descendant of the Silver Dragon... well, except for me, of course," she said proudly, her tone even more haughty on the last sentence.
"And there are only two others besides my father who have awakened their dormant bloodline like that, and both of them became the strongest of their respective Divine lineages," she added seriously.
"Now do you understand how important he is? Even if his bloodline isn’t particularly powerful, just the fact that he awakened it on his own makes it likely that he’ll become one of the strongest beings in the world."
