Chapter 189 Holy Grail, Revealed!
"Mr.Tupac, right? I\'m Loki Bradworth, the master of this city." Bobby said and then he further asked, "I don\'t know why or how a human-like you, opening a stall inside my city which is deep within the territories of Angel?"
"Sorry to break this news, Mr. Loki. Now you\'re inside my shop and I don\'t have a clue about what you\'re talking about. But….my store has no final destination. It would transverse through the space and various multiple realms and will only appear in the place where its next probable customer would appear." Tupac, the old man, responded.
He then added, clapping his hand, "Well, let\'s come to the proper business. Mr. Loki, what did you need from my stall?"
As Bobby listened to the old man, he had a glimpse of what he was saying, but he didn\'t care to go further down that road, because he was here for something like the old man was describing.
Bobby took out the pendant hanging on his neck and brought it near to the old man\'s face and asked, "Outside your store on the signboard, I saw a symbol that I have seen inside this pendant. And this belongs to someone really close to me. In order to find out where they went, I must figure out what this thing is."
The old man peeked a glance at it and said, "Um, I know the metal used to cast this pendant." Then he asked with curiosity written all over his face. "Mr. Loki, can I have a closer look?"
"Sure," Bobby replied as he passed it to him.
The old man first observed both the pendant\'s faces under a magnification glass and then he even took a bite with his teeth and then he said, "Alright, my guess is right. Let me come to you after I complete my study on the inside of this pendant."
"Mr. Kupac, I don\'t think that\'s a good idea," Bobby warned him.
"Relax, this is my job, and I know exactly what I\'m doing. Why don\'t you give me a minute and I\'ll come to you with some good news." The Old man said with a friendly smile and then he opened the eyepatch covering his right eye.
The next instant he opened the eyepatch suddenly Bobby saw dazzling golden light all around and then he also activated his ocular skill and could finally see what the old man was doing. He also tried peeking inside and saw something really bizarre.
"Human! You dare to intrude on this Evil God\'s territory and even attempt to use a cheap trick like that on me, and then I will just kill you." The Humanoid with the pair of amber red horns and a tail bellowed, and then he pointed his finger, aiming at the Old man\'s golden consciousness form.
"Leave Loki!" Mr. Kupoc, the old man, shouted. In the next instant, Bobby immediately noticed a golden tear flowing down from Mr. Kupac\'s Right Golden-eye.
"Are you alright, sir?" Bobby asked.
"Mr. Loki, you hit a jackpot this time. How about this? With your current strength, this thing will only bring you trouble. Could you please sell this pendant to me for whatever price you like?" The Old man said, beaming with no care that his right eye was injured just now.
"That\'s out of the table. I\'m here to know the secret of this pendant and not sell it to someone. Anyway, this is the only thing left by my biological parents for me. And I need this pendant to find them. So, now you can start telling everything you know about this pendant and that strange being receding inside this pendant? Or I\'ll just take my leave." Bobby responded with a firm tone. Then he walked toward the exit door.
"Wait-wait-wait! It\'s my bad. Perhaps I have crossed my line here." The Old man quickly stopped him and then he continued, "Mr. Loki, I can tell you all the secrets about this pendant and the humanoid being living inside this pendant. But first, I need you to do a favor for me in the future."
Bobby squinted his eyes as if he was pondering whether or not he should trust the man.
"Hey, don\'t worry. I will never ask you to do something that\'s beyond your capabilities," The Old man said, waving his hand in the air.
"Alright, I can agree with that. Now, can you tell me the secret of this pendant?" Bobby said, as he picked a nearby chair and sat on it.
"Well, let\'s start from the portrait within the 1st layer of this pendant. That man and the lady in that hidden picture. Are they your parents?" Mr. Kupac asked.
"Yes, I think so," Bobby replied, nodding his head.
"Alright, you\'re right about one thing; the trademark on the signboard attached to the outside of this store is the same one hidden inside this pendant…
Actually, it\'s the logo of the Secret Society Of the Brotherhood and Sisterhood Of Nirvanic Cycle. There was no need to ponder over this because the secret society was long gone, having broken into two major opposing factions." Mr. Tupac said, explaining calmly.
He further added, "This store and everything inside it is legacy pieces from the Secret Society. And I believe your parents might have some serendipities of the Secret society to have a portrait with their mark on it."
Bobby listened attentively.
Mr. Kupac further continued, "Alright, now let\'s come to that strange and perversely powerful humanoid creature. Mr. Loki, have you ever heard of the term Holy grail?"
"Yes, I heard that it\'s somewhere in the Solar system of the earth," Bobby responded briskly.
"Hee-hee-hee, not anymore! The holy grail every powerhouse in these Titan Remnant Regions has been looking for is that thing that has been living inside this soul-capturing pendant. And I believe your parents were the ones responsible for capturing this evil creature where chaos and devastation followed everywhere he went." Mr. Kupac explained.
Bobby kept pondering for a while and he uttered softly, "Hmm, I always thought that the Holy Grail is something godly."
