FAZER LOGINHelso didn't even know who Zeke was.At that moment, the two of them stepped out of the Solberg Residence one after the other."Go on, what do you want?" Evan said flatly. Truthfully, he knew why Helso was here. It was most likely about Kaldor, and perhaps an attempt to recruit him into the Department of Mystia.Helso's gaze settled on Evan as he carefully sized him up. This was their first meeting as he hadn't been present when Evan had crossed paths with Orion. After a long moment, he withdrew his gaze and gave a simple nod. "Not bad."If the young prodigies within the Department of Mystia had heard that, they would've gone insane.Helso was the director of the Uppersea Branch, and he rarely praised anyone. But when he did, it meant the person truly had exceptional potential.Countless young elites in the entire Uppersea branch and even those from the main headquarters had pushed themselves to the limit, all hoping to earn a word of praise from him. So far, only Orion had ever
Now, it was certain. Zeke really did have close ties with the Department of Mystia.Graham had always believed in Zeke's abilities, but he still had his doubts when it came to his supposed ties with the Department of Mystia. After all, he'd never seen it with his own eyes. But now, every last bit of doubt he had been harboring had been wiped away.'Zeke really does have ties to the legendary Department of Mystia!'The excitement on Hazel, Roxanne, and Anya's faces surpassed even Graham's. Ever since Zeke had recovered from his illness, the surprises he brought had come one after another. The moment Helso admitted he had come for Zeke, it felt like they had hit the jackpot.'That's the director himself.'They knew what the Department of Mystia represented, and they understood exactly how much weight the title of Uppersea branch director carried. They couldn't imagine the implications for someone at that level to personally visit Zeke. Both Imperia and Uppersea would be in an upro
Graham froze in disbelief, his anger flaring even higher. He glared at Evan as if he wanted to tear him apart. "You ungrateful bastard. I would've told Zeke to leave you to die if I'd known you'd turn out like this!"A cold smile tugged at Evan's lips. "Graham, there's nothing I can do if you're so determined to believe a lie. Just don't come crying to me later when things blow up. I've already given you a fair warning."He then turned to Hazel, Roxanne, and Anya. "He says he knows people from the Department of Mystia. Have any of you actually seen it with your own eyes?""No, but we don't need to!" Anya shot back firmly. "Zeke's incurable illness is gone, and he's completely transformed. He's powerful now, strong enough to protect us. Isn't that proof enough?""Exactly. Who else could've done such a miracle besides the Department of Mystia?" Roxanne added.Evan hadn't expected them to buy that lie like a bunch of morons. He almost laughed, but said nothing more. He was about to l
Evan's expression finally changed at that. It hit him like a bolt out of the blue. He was completely stunned.'The Department of Mystia… Zeke is connected to them? How is that even possible?'From what Evan had seen during his recent interactions with the Department of Mystia, its members were incredibly arrogant. They worshipped strength above all else. There was no way they would associate with an ordinary person like Zeke.'Zeke is lying.'The more Evan thought about it, the stranger the situation seemed. How did Zeke even know about the Department of Mystia? Most people had never even heard of such a secretive organization.'Even Sylvie was clueless about it.'A faint sense of unease crept into Evan's mind. "You're saying that Zeke knows the Department of Mystia?" he asked again, unable to stop himself from confirming with Graham."Exactly! What, did that shut you up?" Graham burst out laughing, looking at Evan with open disdain. "You really thought you could claim credit fo
'I still don't know what caused Zeke's sudden transformation!'A trace of irritation crept into his voice. "Are all of you stupid? Zeke has fooled you, and you don't even realize it! He wasn't the one who saved you. He just stole the credit!"'What?'The entire room froze in shock.Even Graham thought he had misheard. "What did you just say? Zeke stole someone else's credit?"Hazel, Roxanne, and Anya all widened their eyes, staring at Evan in disbelief."Use your brain for once. What can a sickly guy do to scare off Solomon?""That's because Zeke and the Depart—"Hazel instinctively started to mention the Department of Mystia, but Graham cut her off with a sharp gesture. He turned back to Evan, letting out a cold laugh. "Fine. You claim Zeke stole the credit, so tell me. Who actually saved you and the Solbergs?""Do you even need to ask? It was obviously me!" Evan's expression darkened, his patience wearing thin. "I was the one who forced Solomon to retreat. I saved the Solber
Graham arrived quickly.He was dressed in a sharp suit, causing his entire presence to feel different. He now looked more imposing and more assured of himself. There was a sizable entourage following him, making them quite the spectacle.Stefan even noticed that Graham had upgraded his ride. It used to be a Mercedes-Benz, but it was now a Rolls-Royce. Every single detail screamed that Graham had put a lot of money into completely reinventing himself.Meanwhile, Hazel and Roxanne watched with undisguised envy. Their gazes drifted toward their parents with a trace of resentment, as if silently saying, 'See? This is what comes from recognizing Zeke's worth. We could have had what Mr. Golden has now if you'd chosen to follow his lead.'Alas, Stefan and Cynthia remained indifferent, their expressions calm and unmoved. There wasn't a hint of envy. If anything, Thaddeus' eyes even carried a faint trace of contempt when he looked at Graham."Stefan, no offense, but you don't have to go
After he obtained an enormous sum of money from that sale, he had finally risen to prominence and secured the position he enjoyed today.What he hadn't expected was that Cain had gone and tested the authenticity of the drakeblood gemstone. Back when Darius had forged the fake, it had been indisting
Before anyone could react, Evan sprang into action.He lunged forward like a hawk, clamping a hand around Mylo's face and lifting him straight off the ground. Then, he drove Mylo's head into the hood of the car, again and again.Each impact sounded like a sledgehammer crashing down on steel. The
Hazel had given Neil a direct order. He was to bring Evan back to her, safe and sound, no matter what.Evan didn’t want to go, but he went anyway. He also had questions for Zeke.Inside the hospital, Hazel and the others waited anxiously.Zeke's body trembled without stopping. His face was draine
Evan had never been deeply involved with the Leighton family. After Roxanne had secretly taken the family's only life-saving drug, she had been branded a sinner by her own relatives and had nearly been expelled outright. It was only because her parents fought tooth and nail for her that she avoide
