The Secret Heir: I Became the Heir of Strongest Hidden Clan

Chapter 07 - Meeting with the strongest(1)

The strongest man on Earth.

The guild leader of the Number one guild.

Head of the Rozentals.

The Merciless Blade.

He was called by many names.

He was the man that stood at the forefront of humanity, fighting the dungeon creatures constantly and ensuring the safety of countless humans.

His name was Aden. Aden Von Rozental, the strongest!

When the Great Crisis happened in 2010, He was the man that stood to protect humans.

He constantly engaged in fights, cleared dungeons, and slashed off the monsters, all while recruiting reliable and strong members to stand beside him.

He took down the Red Dragon, Igneel, after fighting for five days and six nights, which got him the title of Dragon Slayer!

Moving forward, he created the guild called, "Guardians".

With the support of his wife and colleagues, he managed to overcome all the difficulties that came his way.

Taking down everyone that stood in his way, by any means that was necessary, he bought the 'Guardian' guild to the position of number one in the world.

With his excellent leadership and charism, he gathered strong people around him building a safe fortress that no one could breach!

If we start to converse about him, then the words wouldn’t suffice.

And currently, Eren was standing in front of his office.

gulp!

He gulped down his saliva as he knocked on the door twice before waiting for the replay.

Knock- Knock-

Nervousness was visible all over his face, he was feeling too anxious.

"Come in alone"

A stern voice replayed after a few seconds, the voice was coarse, giving him chills!

Eren turned back looking at Linda who was standing behind him!

"I will get going then"

"You will do well young master!"

Scarlet who noticed the anxious expression on his face cheered him up.

"hmm"

Eren nodded and went inside the room.

***

It was a normal office with only a single chair and a table, there was not even anything except some documents and a photo frame of a woman on the table.

Unlike the whole mansion, the room looked plain and bland.

Eren looked around, it was his first time coming to this office even though he had seen it countless times from outside.

There was not even any other chair in the room other than the one that a man was sitting on.

It just shows the level of arrogance of that man, it was like he was saying, No one is worthy enough to sit in front of him.

But right now, Eren didn't mind that, Not only was he a small fry compared to his father-in-law, he could even be able to compare to him in anything. So he was indeed not worthy of sitting in front of him.

Eren raised his head looking at the man who was seated on the chair with both of his hands clasped together on the table!

He was a tall and muscular man with broad shoulders, his dark orange hair which was kept slicked back ran onto his shoulders, combined with his stubbly beard and deep black eyes, he gave off the feeling that would scare away the people just seeing him.

"It's been three years"

A thunderous sound was heard.

it wasn't loud, but Eren instinctively felt fear, he felt as if his ears might fall off.

The words that Aden Von Rozental spoke, it was enough to crush Eren’s spirit.

It felt as if an entire mountain fell on his shoulders.

As Aden said, it has been three years since Eren met with him.

Was it when he first came to the Rozental family? or is it when Julia him to her father?

Eren didn't even seem to remember it but guessing by his father-in-law's voice, it sure seemed like a lot of time has been passed since he had a conversation with him.

"You have been enjoying your stay in this huge mansion for almost three years now, and for you to come looking for me now? You surely didn't do something that required my help right?"

He asked in a cold voice again.

His voice was filled with a hint of mockery as if he was asking if Eren had enjoyed his wealth enough.

Despite that, his eyes contained a look of curiosity, anger, and also.... disappointment.

"Perhaps you have come to reclaim some of your honor?"

Eren clenched his fist, controlling the raging anger inside him.

Enjoying the stay in the huge mansion? Bullshit! 

He wanted to shout and say that it was nothing more than hell to his face!

And did he ask if he was here to reclaim some honor? He wanted to say that he will soon do that.

But it wasn't time for it yet.

He was not yet prepared.

"I came to request something"

For the first time since entering the room, Eren opened his mouth!

He was still afraid and fear was evident in his voice, but he didn't want to cover himself in fear anymore, he didn't want to.

"Of course, you would"

Said Aden as he scoffed at him.

Though living in the same house for nearly three years, his soon-to-be son-in-law came looking for him only now, of course, his anger was justified.

"I wish to go to my hometown for some time"

Eren knew that too...It was his fault but he wasn't in the right mind then, he wasn't even in the position where he could show his face to his father-in-law.

But that wasn’t the concern now.

'If I want to survive in the middle of the Rozentals, I need to pique his Interest'

There was a saying that a man with too much money finds life boring. (Author: Though I feel that every day even without having money...cough!)

For Aden who was the strongest on the planet, there were really not many things that interested him.

So, if Eren just managed to make him a bit interested in him, fuck even though he knew that Aden would probably think of him as entertainment, for now, even that would be good.

'Whatever the matter, for now, my goal is to survive and get stronger.'
