God's Eyes Chapter 598 - Reunion And Farewell

Jason felt a little bit weird seeing Gabriella once again, and he didn't dare approach them.
Maybe they hated him for being the reason for their pain and agony.
As such, he stayed rooted to the sidewalk, standing stiffly, while looking at the reuniting family.
A faint smile could be seen on his lips, while his eyes revealed his insecurity that held a tinge of jealousy.
It had been a long time since he'd felt insecure about something, and Jason couldn't help but feel uncomfortable right now.
Only a minute later Mark appeared, and at the sight of his children, the usually emotionless middle-aged man began to sob like a three-year-old as he hugged his two children tightly.
More than 10 minutes passed before the Flers let go of each other, and Gabriella finally saw Jason as she lifted her head.
He simply looked at her with a nervous smile without saying anything.
Jason didn't expect Gabriella to be able to tell who he was because he had undergone a drastic transformation during the last few years.
Yet, contrary to his expectation, Gabriella began to cry once again as she beckoned him.
"Jason, why are you standing so far away? Come here!"
Somehow, Jason felt as if a train had hit him when he heard Gabriella's words that were filled with love and care.
His eyes turned wet and a few tears trickled down his cheek as he answered.
"I'm coming!"
It was only then that Mark noticed Jason, which caused his eyes to widen. He could sense Jason's mana fluctuations, the Celestia aura, and stigma.
Everything about Jason was different, but Mark could clearly tell that it was the same Jason, who had been living with them for a long time, several years ago.
'Was the book really about the Jason I know?'
At that moment, Jason appeared right in front of Gabriella, who brushed her hair back. The speed at which he had rushed towards her astonished everyone, as they hadn't seen his full speed yet.
Jason's aura enveloped the Flers subconsciously radiating the joy Jason felt.
As such, instead of feeling intimidated by his aura, everyone realised that he was still the same Jason they had known from before, only that the dangers of the last few years had forced him to mature.
Only a moment later Gabriella embraced Jason tightly while patting his back.
"You did a good job, you're strong now!"
Without realising it, more tears trickled down his cheeks, and Jason could only hug back Gabriella as Mark patted his back, looking at him fondly.
"You're a fine man now!"
Jason was not sure how much time had passed but his tears had ceased when he loosened his grasp around Gabriella as Mark, who had regained his composure, said.
"We should talk inside, I think everyone has lots of things to say!"
With that being said Gabriella let go of Jason too before smiling at him.
At that moment, Greg and Malia grasped one of Jason's arms before they dragged him inside which caused him to smile despite the tears.
Hours flew by and it was already late at night when everyone finished telling what happened to them during the last few years.
Jason was not looked at weirdly because he was a halfling even once, and he felt as if everything was the same as years ago when he had first met the loving family.
Because he told them that he didn't know how long he could stay with them, the Flers decided that going to sleep was not necessary.
As such, they continued to celebrate their reunion as well as their farewell.
The latter made everyone sad because they had just reunited, but instead of seeing everything from the pessimistic side, the Flers decided to cherish the time they would spend together and were sure that Jason might even be able to meet his grandparents.
Jason had told the Flers almost everything without leaving out a lot.
As such, they now had a fair understanding of his family's situation as well as the possibility of his grandparents being alive, while his father was some sort of a divine being.
This was shocking, but the same could be said about the soul fraction of a mysterious, yet mighty being, sealing his bloodline.
"After you've met the master of the man who helped you take us with you, will you search for your father and your maternal grandparents? Do you have any clues about their whereabouts?"
Malia had matured a lot during the last few years, and she could think rationally without letting emotions cloud her judgment.
She was sad that Jason would leave them forever, but it was only logical for him to leave. He was held back due to the low quality of mana on Argos and would soon become the strongest being on the planet, which was evident if Jason hadn't exaggerated the things he had told them.
When Jason heard Malia's question, he pondered about it for a moment before he mumbled.
"I almost forgot that I have to meet Nathan…"
Since their last meeting where Nathan had fumbled a little when Jason had questioned him about his mother and grandparents, Jason had always thought that Nathan had done something to his family, making them leave, or worse hurting them before selling them to other foreign races.
Because of their mana and Emperor Eyes in addition to the soul worlds they had, his family should have been worth quite a lot.
As such, Jason simply assumed that a foreign race got their hands on his family.
This was bad, but based on the words said by the mysterious being's soul fraction, his grandparents should still be alive.
At least, that was the last thing it knew, which was reassuring.
'As long as I know which race my family was sold to, I can start investigating properly…but why do I feel like this is useless?'
Jason was not sure why, but he felt as if his family having been sold to some foreign race was definitely true, yet, at the same time, it was as if this knowledge wouldn't help him.
The reason for this was extremely simple too!
'Why the hell should a common, or a higher race be able to make a tribute to the Celestia race? Even Lusan said that a grand race had ordered the Elvyr race to rescue me...And even that grand race was said to have received the order from father's secretary, or something like that.'
Owing to this thought, Jason was utterly confused, and he could only assume that his family had been sold to another race as slaves or something similar, or that they had escaped from their clutches, fighting their way through the world!
'Either way, I'll just tell Wisse that I need an hour...no… a few minutes with Nathan in order to find out the truth!'
After arriving at a decision, Jason's focus returned to the Flers, who were eager to find out more about him, which was only logical.
Knowing that Jason would leave, they didn't hold back at all, and even Mark was interested to talk to him, contrary to how it had been in the past.
At the same time, Artemis was perched on his shoulder shrieking, voicing out her joy, while Petri was coiled around his waist, hissing out in joy.
Weirdly enough, even Solaris had decided to leave the soul world, despite still being in the process of devouring the lesser origin flame that was less interesting than Jason had expected.
He had hoped for something special to happen, but there was nothing.
It had taken the shape of a miniature dragon with golden eyes, which looked magnificent, yet Jason couldn't help but smile helplessly.
The Flers hadn't summoned any of their soulbonds, while his three soulbonds were clinging to Jason as if was going to abandon them too.
However, when the Flers saw this, they couldn't help but smile, only for Malia and Greg's expression to change, knowing that one soulbond was missing.
They had heard about Scorpio's death but seeing all of Jason's soulbonds made them realise that it had been the harsh truth.
'How come he suffered more than we did, despite not being enslaved?'
