Chapter 47 Uncle and Nephew

Garin only brought Jiger into his bedroom. After the two left, the golden-armored guards who had been lying on the ground for a long time were able to get up from the ground while gasping for breath, and looked at the backs of Garin and Jiger in awe.

People are really different. Some people are born kings.

Entering the bedroom, Jiger looked around the environment. Except for some decorations, both the furniture and the walls were spotless snow-white, which was different from the gorgeousness he had imagined.

As the residence of the head of the Figalando family, this place seems a bit too simple.

Jialin led the way without saying a word. His bedroom was very large, and there was even a staircase leading to the underground.

When he reached the underground, a black gate appeared in front of Jiger. For some reason, Jiger suddenly felt weak.

The closer he got to the door, the stronger the feeling of weakness became. Jiger had to force himself to reach the door.

Jialin didn't seem to be surprised. He turned around and looked at Jiger, and said,

"Do you feel a bit limp?"

Jiger pressed his hands against the wall to support himself. He nodded slightly and asked,

"Is this door made of seastone?"

"Yes, it is very pure and has a strong restraint on ability users. It can even make them lose their abilities without any contact. At the same time, it is also one of the hardest substances in the world."

Ziger tried to activate his ability and found that it was just as Garin said. There was not even a trace of black energy on his body and he was unable to use the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit at all.

Not only was he unable to use his abilities, but Jiger's body became even weaker, and he staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Jialin had anticipated this situation and stepped forward to help Jiger up. Jiger's breathing was a little rapid, and he said,

"Sorry Uncle Jialin, I just can't muster the energy."

Jialin chuckled, shook his head and said,

"No need to apologize. Your performance has been very good. Back then, Gulando's performance was even worse than yours now."

"Is he a person with special abilities?"

"He wasn't one before he came here. He was the one who took the devil fruit from inside the gate, the Parahuman-type Blood-Blood Fruit."

Jiger narrowed his eyes slightly, this was a strange fruit to him.

But there is one thing he is very clear about, that is, since this fruit was taken out from the secret room of the Figalando family, its ability is definitely not inferior to those fruits in the Valley of the Gods back then.

This was also confirmed by what Garin said next.

"The previous head of the family, your grandfather, was the user of the Blood-Blood Fruit. After his death, the family took great pains to recover the fruit. Glando took a fancy to the fruit, so I gave it to him."

Jiger really had no impression of his grandfather, because no one in his family had ever mentioned him since he could remember. He couldn't help but ask,

"This fruit must be very powerful, why didn't Uncle Jialin think of eating it himself?"

Jialin shook his head and said,

"I have no interest in devil fruits, and the power of this fruit is too evil. It will corrode the mind of the user. My father went completely crazy just a few years after becoming a user. If he hadn't regained some consciousness at the last moment, I would have had no chance..."

Garin stopped talking here, a look of pain on his face.

Although he did not continue, Jiger guessed that Garin probably killed his father with his own hands.

Thinking of this, Jiger's expression became a little strange, because in the future, he would also kill his father.

It's just that in the matter of patricide, Garin was forced, while he took the initiative.

At this moment, Jialin and Jiger, the uncle and nephew, were both in a state of silence. After a while, Jiger took the initiative to speak,

"If this fruit is so dangerous, why did you give it to him?"

Jialin sighed and said,

"Grundo has always been upset about me taking over as the leader of the Knights of God. After I became the head of the family and had the right to control this secret room, he asked for this fruit. I didn't agree at first."

Jiger curled his lips and thought to himself, so you still gave the fruit to him?

Thinking that Gulando's strength would be improved again, Jiger felt a little unhappy and asked casually,

"What? Did he kneel down for you?"

Jialin was choked by these words. He glared at Jiger angrily and said,

"With his personality, how could he kneel down to me? He promised me that if I gave him this fruit, he would not interfere with you anymore. And I also wanted to ease the relationship with him, so I finally agreed."

Garin's voice sounded calm and light, but it caused Jiger's body to tremble slightly.

He finally understood why Gulando had no intention of taking action against him even though he had been out there for so many years.

Jialin's words had a profound impact on Jiger. In his two lifetimes, this was the first time that he truly felt the presence of family love.

Thinking of Jialin's silent care and help for him over the years, Jiger looked at Jialin and said softly,

"Uncle Jialin, thank you."

Jialin was stunned. Although this was not the first time that Jiger called him uncle, he could clearly feel that the emotions contained in it were completely different.

Because of his childhood experiences, Jiger not only hated Gulando, but also developed hostility towards the entire Fegalando family. So even though Garin had been helping him, there was still a gap in his heart.

Now, after knowing what Garin had done for him, the barrier in Jiger's heart completely disappeared.

Jialin was still very happy in his heart, but he had been rather rigid since childhood and rarely showed his true feelings.

Simply put, he is not good at expressing himself.

He turned his face awkwardly, and finally uttered only three words:

"You're welcome."

After saying this, without waiting for Jiger's response, he carried him to the door, took out a golden key from his arms and inserted it into a hidden slot on the door.

Jialin turned the key and a muffled sound came from the door. Then he put his hand on the door and pushed it with a little force, and the two heavy doors slowly opened.

Just from the sound, one could tell that the door was quite heavy. Jiger couldn't help but think that if it were him, he probably wouldn't have the strength to push open the door even with the key.

What should I do when I become the head of the family? Do I have to bring Lucia with me every time I come?

Jiger had a conflicted expression on his face. It was okay to take Lucia along, as she was one of their own.

But what he was worried about was that he would have to lean on Lucia's arms like a little girl, and then ask Lucia to open the door for him. This was really a bit embarrassing...
