Reuniting with his family ended up a little bit different than expected.

It was almost as if they had expected him to arrive home today. They looked over at him when he entered the mansion and hugged him tightly.

"Took you long enough," His father said, while his voice cracked.

Nial embraced his father tightly, just for his sister to join.

They hugged each other tightly and spent a full minute enjoying each other's company. When they slowly let go of each other, Nial noticed that Mathias was staring at him.

He had a complicated expression on his face and it was evident that he felt a little complicated.

For a few seconds, he remained in the same position, until Sabrina reached his side. She pressed his hands gently and smile straight at him.

"Go for it," Sabrina mumbled, her voice filled with gentleness and something else that caused Nial's right eyebrow to raise slowly.

'This is not what I think it is, right?' He thought to himself as he continued to visualize Mathias and Sabrina. Nial would have to be the densest man in the Universe not to notice the tension and sparks between Mathias and Bella but he was not exactly sure what to think about that.

If Mathias was still the same as before, he would rather not have him by Sabrina's side. After all, Mathias was a piece of work in the past!

"It has been a while," Nial said, choosing to interrupt the moment between his sister and Mathias. He stretched out his hand to shake Mathias' hand. However, the moment Mathias noticed that Nial stepped forward, he hugged his friend tightly.

"You must have had it hard. I'm glad that you're still alive, and that you're stronger than ever!" Mathias said while his voice was cracking similar to Miles' voice. It was almost as if Mathias was on the verge of crying.

"Well…" Nial responded slightly awkwardly, "Looks like I have to listen to your story as well. After all, I am curious how the hell you and Sabrina never thought of visiting the Forest of Life, and how you guys coincidentally met up…and got together…"

The last words were filled with a sense of threat and they were spoken quietly enough only for Mathias to hear. Mathias released Nial slowly from his embrace, trying to smile at Nial. His smile, however, crumbled every single time.

Mathias would have to lie if he were to say that he was not afraid of Nial. His friend was simply too powerful, and he had a bunch of Devils by his side that was stronger than he was as well.

Furthermore, Mathias didn't think that he was strong enough to endure Nial's wrath the moment he got angry with his old friend.

"How did you know?" Mathias asked, his eyes quivering lightly. He was not sure if Nial approved of his relationship with Sabrina, and the worst thoughts flashed through his mind.

"I am not blind… Well, no, that's not true. Scratch that," Nial said, just to end up embarrassing himself, "I can tell. It doesn't matter how. Just remember that I will break your bones and skin you alive if you ever hurt her. As for her hurting you…just endure it."

Nial was pretty sure that Sabrina was the one in control when it came to her relationship with Mathias. However, as a good brother, he still got to say what he had to say!

"It has been quite a while since we've been together. Let's not threaten each other too much, okay?" Sabrina asked seemingly lightly while glaring at Nial. She pulled Mathias back. Their arms were hooked and their hands interlocked afterward. Nial perceived this clearly.

He also perceived that it was Sabrina who initiated these actions while Mathias was breaking into a cold sweat and staring at Nial.

"Even if I say that I can threaten anyone however much I want and whenever I want, you would just break ties with me the moment I turn my threats into reality…at least when it comes to Mathias, right?" Nial asked more teasingly than seriously.

However, Sabrina thought about it way too long before she nodded her head.

She was actually serious!

Mathias noticed the misunderstanding between the siblings and quickly intervened before it was too late.

"Nial, what the hell were you doing in the last six decades? We were looking for you everywhere, and we've even gotten help from various races who are connected decently well throughout the entire Universe!" Mathias said, quickly changing the topic.

Sabrina and Miles were also interested.

"Tell us what happened," Sabrina said in a tone that made it sound almost as if she was ordering Nial.

"I also want to know," Miles said, though in a much softer tone than his daughter.

Nial nodded his head but he only began the long, drawn-out, story that continued after he and Bella Morningstar ended up in the portal of the Spectran after the Royal Princess and Old Elf Crevian arrived…or that was what Nial planned.

He perceived soon enough that Ophelia and a few other people whom he was very familiar with were rushing to the mansion.

This included the sisters who had provided him with the opportunity to participate in the Military Camp where he met Mathias, Bella Morningstar, and their late mater. There was also Hanna, the sisters from the Heaven's Gates organization, and a few more Originals whom Nial didn't expect to meet ever again.

Most of them were not even close to him in terms of strength, but the connection he had with them in the past was pretty good. They had helped him a lot, which was something he always wanted to repay.

"Were the other Origin Human Shelters destroyed?" Nial asked at this moment. The room fell in silence at this moment, just for Sabrina to mumble.

"Right…there was that…"
