They came to the exit and saw the guards who Bear knocked unconscious. Coldly, they looked at them. "Why don't we ask them?"Augustus grunted. Bear shot two flashes of light at the knocked-out guards. A while later, they woke up. Bear grinned. "Rise and shine.""Commander Colton, you attacked us? Unbelievable!""We'll…"The guards were about to take out their weapons, but someone coughed. Stunned, they looked around only to see a figure in white."Master Augustus!""Greetings, Master Augustus!" Scared, the guards' legs buckled, and they went on their knees.Augustus looked at them quietly, his gaze icy.One of the guards asked carefully, "H-How did you get out, Master Augustus?""Do you really think anyone can stop me if I want to get out?" Augustus asked.The guards gulped, almost choking on themselves. 'Of course, no one can. You're an unparalleled genius. We couldn't stop you even if we wanted to.'"I have something to ask, and I want honest answers. Do you hear me?" Augu
Ever since Nox took over their manor, the Regals' place was dilapidated. The gash on the entrance left the once-resplendent place in shambles.The Regals had departed. No one dared stay in this place. Even Nathan led his men away. Only Nox and his corpse titan were left.In the great hall, Nox was checking the text from Bear. He said the little one was on his way to Southtomb, and they had found out who Arthur was.'So, these people would marry Melania to a branch family member just to have a connection with the Southkings?' Nox smirked."No wonder I've never heard of him. So, he's a branch family trash." Nox set this matter aside and tucked his phone away. He then went into meditation.He was waiting for Drago's return. That guy had the bracelet he needed, after all. Just when he was about to enter his meditative state, the door creaked open. A beautiful woman came in bearing tea—she was Melania.Melania was wearing a long dress with lace adorning its hem. Like a servant, she pl
However, Melania was no fool. She could feel herself being subdued by the domineering man before her; even her heart was falling for him!However, could she really fall in love with him?No! Absolutely not!After all, he was the enemy of the Regals, took over their manor, and wanted to snatch their family's heirloom. Thus, she could never fall in love with him. Moreover, she was already betrothed to the Southking family, one of Faeast's Ancient Four. Hence, she only wanted to get him out of Southtomb.However, there was no way Nox would leave. As the Great Lord of Faeast, who once made the ten nations tremble in fear, his glory was unmatched, let alone a mere Regal family.Suddenly, Nox said to Melania, "No matter what, I appreciate your kindness. Still, you should leave this place. After all, this place will soon become a wasteland."Hearing his words, Melania stiffened. She looked at Nox. "Fine, I'll leave! Since you insist on choosing death, so be it!" Then, she left.Just as
"Mr. Regal, may I ask who the person who injured Ludwig is?" Helios asked grimly. As he spoke, he had a murderous aura surrounding him."Yes, Mr. Regal! Master Crimson's an Origin Realm. No one could've possibly hurt him," said one of the Phantomslayer disciples behind Helios.Nathan sighed. "Master Weasley, the one who injured Master Crimson, is the brat occupying my family's manor!""This is outrageous! Tell me, where is he now? I'll skin him alive to avenge Ludwig!" Helios snarled."He's still at my family's manor," replied Nathan."Good. I'd like to see what sort of brat he is to go against us Phantomslayers!" Helios was about to depart to settle accounts with Nox."Wait, Master Weasley!" Nathan suddenly stopped Helios."What is it? Do you think I can't handle him?" Helios turned around with a dark expression."That's not it. I just think that since Master Crimson got injured because of my family, it's only right that we avenge him! As a matter of fact, my two sons have jus
The terrifying impact made the entire ground tremble as if an earthquake had struck. Even more frightening was that the hard ground cracked within a three-hundred feet radius from the point of impact.The figure wore a long gray robe and had gray hair. Although his face was full of wrinkles, a terrifying aura emanated from him.He was none other than Drago!As he leaped down from the helicopter, everyone stared wide-eyed at this eighty-year-old man."Greetings, Father! Welcome back!" Nathan was the first to kneel before him."Greetings, Master Drago! Welcome back!" Immediately after, hundreds of Martial Alliance's members kneeled at Drago's feet.Facing such a scene, Drago waved them off. "There's no need for such formalities. I just don't understand how someone dares to cause trouble on my eightieth birthday!"Hearing his words, Nathan quickly stepped forward. "It's all my fault! I didn't protect our family well. I'm willing to accept any punishment!"Drago merely huffed in re
Drago was the one who loved Melania the most in the entire Regal family. Seeing Melania return, Drago embraced her tightly. Melania, thrilled to see Drago, was crying as she hugged him tightly."Don't cry. Are you hurt? Did he do anything to you? Now that I'm back, you can tell me everything. I'll teach those who hurt you a lesson!" Drago said softly to Melania."I'm not hurt or anything, Grandpa. I just missed you!" Melania looked up while wiping her tears."Silly girl!"Just like that, Melania returned to her family.The main hall of the Martial Alliance's headquarters was filled with people. At the head was Drago, followed by Helios, Nathan, and other sect leaders. They had all come to welcome Drago's return. Now, they were discussing how to deal with Nox."Now that I'm out of isolation and Melania is safe, can anyone tell me what exactly happened?" Drago asked.Suddenly, a disciple from the Saberbreaker Sect knelt and pleaded to Drago, "Please, Master Drago, seek justice for
"Don't worry, I'll definitely avenge everyone!" Drago said with determination. "But I still don't understand. We bear no grudge with that brat. Why must he go so far?" he asked."Father, it's because that brat wants to steal our family heirloom, the Phoenix Eye Bodhi Pearl!" Nathan quickly explained."What? Our family heirloom?" Drago lost his cool.The Phoenix Eye Bodhi Pearl was a treasured heirloom of the Regal family. Drago had been wearing it this entire time, for it could provide energy and nourishment to the wearer, as well as enhance a warrior's inner strength. Thus, the moment he learned the reason behind Nox's massacre in the southwest, he lost it."What a presumptuous brat! How dare he covet our family heirloom! Today, I must see what kind of a person he is!"Just as Drago was about to confront Nox, Melania suddenly rushed out from inside."Grandpa, wait!"Seeing his most beloved granddaughter, Drago quickly said, "Melania, shouldn't you be resting inside? Why did you
Tears filled Melania's eyes as she cried out, "N-No!""In that case, why are you pleading for an outsider?" Drago pressed.Melania was instantly at a loss for words. She couldn't even figure out why she would plead for Nox.Logically speaking, she should hate Nox to the point of itching to end his life.But now, she was actually interceding for him.Therefore, it wasn't just Drago. Anyone else would also be baffled by her unusual response.After giving it a thought, Melania looked up with teary eyes and remarked, "Grandpa, to tell you the truth, I considered that guy a demon from the first time I saw him!"His character and the aura he exuded were unlike anything I've ever witnessed before!"H-He's parallel to an entity as divine as a god yet as unholy as a demon!"My entire body would tremble in fear whenever I see him!"Maybe you guys don't get my point, but you know what? He's extremely strong, and I mean it. His powers are beyond one's imagination!"That's why I'm fearfu
