And Kahn was someone who was shunned by his own family in his previous life.

Although their circumstances weren ’t identical to the old leshen, it had a form of relevance to both of them.

”Those selfish bastards..
To condemn their own father to a fate of suffering and death.. ” spoke Albestros as his fist clenched tightly.

Suddenly, Kahn spoke.

”How long do you have if I may ask, sir? ”

Prithvi replied with a somber voice..

”At this rate..
I barely have a week left.
I don ’t think I ’ll survive more than that. ”

The next second, Albestros glanced at Kahn and softly spoke.

”Kid.. ”

Kahn gave him a nod as a form of understanding what the old man wanted to say.

”If you don ’t mind sir Prithvi..
We would like to stay with you till that time comes. ” replied Kahn before the old man could make a suggestion.
Both of them understood the gravity of the situation.

The Grandmaster Alchemist was already on his last straw.
And to leave someone like him who had suffered too much betrayal, backstabbing and treachery by his own people and family..
They were not that type of heartless people.

So both of them made a decision on the spot to at least have leshen pass peacefully.
And not like someone who died alone in a dilapidated house while having no one by their side during their last moments.

”Th..
Thank you.
I don ’t know how to repay you. ” more tears fell off Prithvi ’s eyes as if a dam was finally broken.

Albestros grabbed his hand and the shoulder.

All three of them were men.
They knew that grown men don ’t usually cry unless it ’s something they had been suffering from for far too long.

To Kahn, this moment was no different than the night when he cried for several hours on that roof before he committed suicide.

Although he came here hoping to make beneficial connections and gain the support of someone influential..
After hearing the tragic story of the pitiful leshen, he felt like the old Alchemist at least deserved a peaceful passing.

Because there was so much a single person could endure before it breaks them completely.
He had lived through it once so a sense of obligation formed in his mind.

As the night came, a conversation between long-time friends arose between Prithvi and Albestros.

And eventually..
The topic shifted to his children.

Prithvi, who was already waiting for his inevitable death, felt like he had wronged Albestros by not looking for him or trying to help his children get justice from all these years.

Albestros explained the whole ordeal and how the noble clans had smothered the incident and put him and everyone related to him under surveillance.

Kahn willingly revealed his identity as Azrael and told him how they avenged Gerald and Synthia.

That night..
Three grown men had long conversation from heart to heart.

Each of them having suffered by the hand they ’ve been dealt by Fate.
