*swooosh*

*boom boom boom*

”Oh, yeah, yeah, Robin! Youʼre welcome!!”

”Robin, I love you!”

”you are my hero!!”

”Please train me!!”

---------------------------

A few minutes ago...

About a week passed since the departure from the capital of the Black Sun, the carriage carrying Robin and his company is finally approaching the city of Jura

During the week, Robin worked hard in training and reached the tenth level... which amazed everyone about how clear his mind is so that he can break through to a higher level in a place and a condition like this

all the way, Billy was trying to convince Robin to go ahead of him and prepare a legendary reception for him, but every time Robin directly refused, saying that he doesnʼt like this like of situations

  But when they got a few kilometers before reaching the city, Billy left the wagon anyway and flew towards the city quickly without telling Robin. 

... He quickly arrived at the patriarchʼs office and told him that Robin was about to enter the city.

The patriarch went into a panic attack out of joy when he heard this! 

He was begging Robin not to leave the family when he was still just a brat that might have a good chance of being a middle-level Saint... then how should he value him after he became what he is now?!

  The patriarch then flout on top of the city ad announced with a loud voice to everyone that and ordered everyone to come out to receive him

Actually, he didnʼt even have to ask them to come out to receive him, after all, since the appearance of Caesar, they heard a lot from the elders and the seniors of the family how great Robin is and how genius he was when he is young, and that he went on studies to strengthen the families and give them more strong offsprings like Caesar... 

Robin has already gained a certain degree of reverence in the later generations who were born after him.

Immediately thousands took to the streets, they even organized two rows of hundreds of meters outside the city, ready with flowers and flags.

Burton archers climbed up the rooftops and started using the arrows attached to the talismans as fireworks.

When Robin and the rest saw from afar what was happening in the city, Caesar and the rest asked to get off the wagon before arriving, because they do not like this atmosphere...

One of them was raised among monsters, one had a gruesome past in the dark ruins, and the latter was brutally tortured... Each and every one of them has lost connection with humanity one way or another, none of them cares to be in the spotlight.

But Robin replied to them, ”I also didnʼt want this, but it is not that bad either... Stay where you are and hold your heads high, today everyone should see your faces to know who my children are so that they can give you the respect you deserve in the future.

Peon, Theo, Zara... from today on call me father and call Caesar Big Brother, youʼre part of the family now... understand?”

Caesar smiled and nodded when he heard this... He was already starting to treat them like brothers, after all, he went through life or death experiences with them more than once, and since he himself was just an adopted son of Robin, he did not feel any sense of superiority over them.

But when Theo and Peon heard this... they both got down on the floor of the wagon kneeling with their heads hitting the floor, tears could be seen clearly in their eyes.

They now know that Robin is a 150-year-old man, so it is only natural that they are children or even grandchildren to him, 

But his status as their Master who bought them with coins... his status as the absolute genius who gave them unprecedented strength... and his status as one of the most important people alive on the planet... Makes his words heavier... much heavier.

When they were put on the slave platform, neither of them dared to dream that his new master would do all this for him, and now he actually adopting them as his own children...

The difference between a good slave and an adopted child is like the difference between day and night! 

Finally, Peon spoke with tears starting to wit the floor beneath him, ”Mas-.. father.. Iʼll say what is in my heart and I think this represents Theo too... I swear that I.. Iʼll throw myself into the fire if you tell me to!”

Theo kneeling beside him nodded

Robin who was still holding the reins of the wagon didnʼt look back once, he just smiled a little and spoke, ”Of course you will, if you throw yourself in the fire youʼll protect yourself with major wind law! Hahaha, alright alright, your feelings are accepted, donʼt act like that Big sissy over there, get up and get ready to know your family soon...”

”Hey! Whoʼs the eldest sissy?!” The smile was erased from Caesarʼs face and he asked starkly

The two laughed faintly and got up from their knees. 

Peon hugged his sister, who was crying for her joy in her new position with her brother... 

and everyone started preparing psychologically to enter Jura... the main stronghold of the Burtons.

------------------------------------

-currently-

”You are my idol!”

”I have a strong soul, train me, train me!!”

” Welcome back!”

The city streets are full...

At first, everyone was shocked when they saw a few teenagers on the wagon, Robin was supposed to be a century and a half old... even if he wasnʼt an old man, he is supposed to look... older!

But when the older generations started to arrive one by one, meeting Robin with a smile and greeting him, the youngsters also realized that this was indeed the legendary Robin and started cheering for him.

if only the young ones know... that those who knew Robin from before were in no less surprised than them!

When Robin left he was 14 years old at the tenth level... and now he looks almost the same age and also at the tenth level!!

It is clear that Robin has gone through some changes that can slow down the aging process somehow, or even reverse it!

Some of those oldest and most powerful knights in the family have already known his situation when Billy saw Robin and reported back the first time, at that time all those extra old knights wanted to press Robin to say how he did it.

When Billy heard them talking that day he actually started to think that Robinʼs choice was right, if he came straight here it wouldnʼt have been all that easy on him...

Billy aggressively shot them down, and the patriarch and the rest of the familyʼs saints forbade even bringing up the issue in front of Robin, saying that: if he can say, then he will say himself without asking for it, and if he canʼt say, then they will wait patiently until he is.

Destiny... a miracle.. an invention... it doesnʼt matter.

The important thing is that the prodigal son has finally returned.

...Just passing through the streets lasted for about an hour because of the crowd, if not for the protection of several knights then the wagon might not have even moved an inch!

Robin himself was busy smiling, nodding, and waving.

While the trio was at the back without any emotion on their faces... 

the one who really enjoyed the situation the most was Zara, who was busy collecting the flowers that were thrown at them!

-------------------------------

About an hour after reaching the entrance to the city, Robin arrived at the Burton familyʼs command complex...

The place where the administration buildings such as the patriarchʼs office, the buildings for organizing and planning the armies, the meeting building... and many more.

It also contains a few buildings dedicated to high-ranking visitors and messengers, as well as a few empty lands that are currently used to train young geniuses.

This enclosed area of ​​buildings is the heart and mind of the Burton family... and it is what was chosen as Robinʼs and companionsʼ new home.

After the carriage reached the administrative area, Robin entered and the huge doors were closed behind them to prevent any entry from the enthusiastic crowd behind them.

Then the carriage was led towards one of the buildings that were dedicated for the most important guests, where Patriarch Brian was waiting with a smile, 

when he saw Robin get off the carriage, the Patriarch began to speak, ”Finally, Robin you are back, you canʼt imagine how happy we are that this day has come, at last, thank you for putting your trust in us again, welcome!”

”Thereʼs no need for formalities, Patriarch. I have no grudge against the family, to begin with. I was just being extra careful... maybe I was delusional and overthinking things. 

The important thing is that Iʼm here now... and as I promised you before I left that day.... itʼs time to make up for my absence from the family.”
