God's Eyes (Web Novel)
chapter-42

Jason was slightly confused until he gathered his thoughts and concluded that he underwent a test.

Greg was still looking innocently around not knowing what's going on while Mr Fler stood up and went to the cage while saying.

"My wife would have accepted you even if you weren't able to defeat five-star wild beasts because of Greg.

Figuring out your attitude and the possibility of you trying to exploit us was more important for us because we don´t want our son to get hurt!

To be honest, we still can't figure out what you really want or if you really want to befriend Greg but at least I know that you didn't directly lie to us.

I also hope that you don't mind us testing you because we had already a few youths who befriended Greg and even Malia because of our wealth.

Both Greg and Malia have excellent soul awakening and even high nobles and big family heirs try to sugar coat them but we haven't seen a single sincere one

At least you are telling the truth!

They weren't sincere and hurt our children's feelings after betraying them.

We don't want to see our kids suffer if we can prevent it, maybe you can understand us to a certain degree.

If you really killed five-star wild beasts with the help of your soulbond, then your combat prowess and teamwork should be pretty good considering the short amount of time both of you are together."

Turning the subject, Mr. Fler continued

"And seeing this scaled wolf, it should be a leader of a slightly bigger pack as they instinctively follow the strong.

We can also make a test about the scaled wolves' potential right now. It shouldn't take too long"

Finishing speaking Mr. Fler opened the small cage and took out the sleeping scaled wolf.

After taking out a syringe to take some of its blood, he vanished from their sights.

Jason´s eyes widened in shock as Mr Fler just disappeared from his sight, even his exceptional eyes could only see a blur where he stood before nothing was left behind.

'Did they accept me or not?' he was still confused but asking would be a little bit too much and Jason decided to wait with his jaw open as Mr. Fleer's speed was extremely fast

Greg and Malia were accustomed to their father's speed but Jason was still sitting there lost in thoughts.

The whole situation was over so quickly and Jason was more than confused when he remembered something Mr. Fler said a moment ago.

"Why does he know I didn't lie?" Jason mumbled.

Greg heard him and said proudly

"My father has formed a contract with a mutated miniature Jade bat which is an extremely weak magical beast.

Nevertheless, it´s hearing is exceptional and he probably listened to your heartbeat to detect if you lied"

While Greg said that his mother looked dumbfounded at her son….

Shaking her head in disbelief she wondered where this naive stupidy came from.

Was he really their child?

Jason was also astonished that Greg revealed his father's secrets and was slightly ashamed.

Clearing his throat he wanted to explain Greg's mistake to him as a small fist hit Greg on the back of his head, causing him to fall from the couch.

"Ouchh... Why Malia?" Greg looked at his sister with sad eyes causing Malia to throw another fist that he evaded by rolling around on the ground

"How can you be so stupid? You know that one shouldn't reveal soulbonds and their characteristics including what the soulbond shared. And to add on its not even your own soulbond but your dad's"

Mrs. Fler looked at her daughter still dumbfounded but now it was because of Malia's violence.

She didn't know how such a beautiful and delicate young girl could change so fast once her brother annoys her.

'Will she find a boyfriend' thinking further she was shocked

'She wouldn't beat her boyfriend up, right???' Gabriella furrowed her brows, thinking about that.

Meanwhile, Jason was smiling seeing both of them engaging in a small skirmish with each other and Artemis who had remained silently on Jason's lap opened her eyes before she flapped her wings to soar into the air.

Seeing the sibling pair engaged in a small battle, Artemis cried out and circled above then cheering them up.

She liked both of them as Jason transmitted a comfortable feeling for both of them.

Looking at Jason's soulbond circling above them, crying out sometimes which seems to be laughter, Mrs. Fler smiled lightly before averting her gaze to Jason, who looked at her kids with a gentle smile.

Now she finally understood that Jason didn't want any benefits from them and it would be a shame to leave him here while they left for good.

Taking him with them shouldn´t be much of a problem.

Even if his talent was bad, Greg and even her daughter who seems to be a cold-hearted girl in public could be themselves while Jason was there.

They didn't have to adjust their behavior to please Jason in any way.

Jason looked at the siblings for some time before he looked at the big cage with the eagle inside.

He wasn't sure if he was allowed to ask about this but Jason didn't think there would be much harm in it.

"Was this eagle caught by Mr. and Mrs. Fler during the last few days?"

Jason was curious about some things and Mrs. Fler noticed that and she averted her gaze to him.

"This greater storm eagle is a magical beast and was caught by us two days ago and it will be our client's next soulbond."

Looking at the greater storm eagle, Jason wondered if forming a contract with a matured magical beast without future potential would be that good.

If the client was only searching for a normal magical beast to get a combatant, the shared amount of strength and mana, it would be fine but there wouldn't be any increase in the client's soul energy and the chances that a wild magical beast would rampage without forming a deep connection through their soul was also not small.

It was dangerous to form a contract with a matured magical beast and not worthwhile if the beast had no potential left.

If a magical beast was a cub it would take some time to mature and with this time it would probably form a deeper connection with its master which would in most times be strong enough to prevent a rampage.

That was added to the fact that cubs were easier to tame and raise.

Trying to tame a mature wild magical beast? Good luck and have fun.:: Not only is the soul energy needed extraordinary large, but there is also the problem with the temper of matured beasts.

Jason's facial expressions were somehow complicated and he wasn't sure if he should say something or not as it was not his business if the client wanted to form a dangerous matured magical beast that didn't have the chance to improve in the future.

Greg and Malia had stopped their brawl some time ago and they looked at Jason as his expression seemed to be uncomfortable.

Gabriella noticed the same and she wasn't sure why but she somehow wanted to ask what was wrong with this magical beast to make Jason change his expression like this.

She knew that Jasons' 'gut feeling' he mentioned earlier was something else and grew curious about his opinion as Greg got a very strong first soulbond and apparently Jason's first bond also seemed somewhat unique.

Now if the scaled wolf he brought to them also had some potential, it would mean that it couldn't be a coincidence anymore.

She smiled lightly at Jason to encourage him while saying

"It's fine, just say whatever is on your mind"

Jason pondered how to put it simple before replying

"This magical beast's potential is already completely used up. There is no potential left for it to reach the next rank. Contracting it, won't give many benefits, rather it should be quite dangerous, right? Why should someone contract this beast?"
