"Leave the kid alone, friend."
"Fuck off!"
Two voices, one calm and could be considered polite and the other one rude, sounded out as two figures slowly materialized in front of Barren, holding onto the Head Watcher's hand.
Both were old men.
The first one, dressed in simple-looking golden-white robes, had a head full of white hair and a white mustache and a well-kept beard. His facial features were similar to Barren's, indicating he was an ancestor of the Rivervale family.
The second man was dressed in black robes with blood-red strips, and he had waist-length blood-red hair. Unlike the Rivervale ancestor, who had a smiling expression on his wrinkled face, his expression was grim and full of murderous intent.
The head Watcher looked at them and seemed to sigh. He then looked at Ancestor Rivervale and asked, "You sure you want to take this path?"
Ancestor Rivervale didn't hesitate and nodded, "Yes. It's been a long enough time."
