"I am the real monster in this story."

The trembling whisper hung in the air of the now-cold tea pavilion, a final, pathetic confession. The Grand Elder of the Altair clan bowed his head, his frail shoulders shaking with restrained sobs, his figure no more than that of an old man crushed by his own sins.

Rayden was silent for a very long time.

He felt no victory. He felt no satisfaction from seeing this cunning enemy broken. He didn't even feel an explosive rage. All he felt was the piercing cold of a bitter, complicated, and utterly exhausting truth.

In that silence, his mind worked at lightning speed, reassembling all the pieces of the puzzle that had never quite fit.

Kara Kalderis. Her cold yet probing demeanor when they first met. It wasn't arrogance; it was the wariness of someone who had learned to trust no one. The crippling pain that afflicted her, which he had assumed was just the result of a cultivation failure. Now he knew, it was the wound of the deepest betrayal, inflicte

  • The Cultivator's Revenge   Chapter 74. The Key and the Consequences

    Rayden stared at the old man before him, his eyes narrowed in a cold, probing gaze. The sliver of hope the Elder was offering felt like bait on an elaborate trap."A way in?" he asked skeptically, his voice flat. "After all the lies and manipulation, why should I believe you aren't leading me into another trap?"Faced with this disbelief, the Grand Elder of the Altair clan actually offered a bitter smile. It was no longer the smile of a cunning manipulator, but the weary smile of a chess player who has lost and is now revealing all his strategies."You don't have to trust me, young man," he answered, his voice sounding honest for the first time. "But you do have to trust my logic. Trust my self-interest."He straightened his posture, returning to the persona of a master strategist. "I will be frank with you. This action is not based on kindness or a desire to atone for my sins. This is my final gamble."He raised one finger. "First, Brahma Angkara is a tyrant who has had his boot on o

  • The Cultivator's Revenge   Chapter 72. The Broken Fangs

    Rayden stared at the Grand Elder of the Altair clan, his amber eyes now narrowing into two dangerous points of light. The air around him grew cold, and his voice came out not as a shout, but as a hiss that was far more terrifying."What… have you done to her?"The question hung in the air, an absolute demand. The Elder's wrinkled face was now wet with tears he could no longer hold back. He no longer looked like a cunning ruler, but simply a broken old man, destroyed by his own regret."I committed an unforgivable sin," he whispered, his voice hoarse. He began to tell the final, most deeply buried part of his story.He spoke of the day a young Kara, her eyes shining with pride, had announced that she was ready. Ready to enter closed-door meditation, to gather all her strength and break through the final shackle of the Master level into the legendary realm of a Grandmaster."The entire family celebrated," the Elder said, each word a torment. "We saw it as the dawn of a new era for our c

  • The Cultivator's Revenge   Chapter 71. The Sinner

    The final sentence of Lucien Dorne's report—the unexpected eyewitness… is one of us—hung in the air like a death sentence. Rayden stared at the Grand Elder of the Altair clan, all the confusing pieces of the puzzle finally beginning to point toward a single, unthinkable name. His patience was gone."I'm not interested in the details of your failure," Rayden cut in sharply, his voice cold and leaving no room for pleasantries. "I saw a young girl behind Lucien Dorne that night. Explain Kara."At the mention of her name, the mask of composure and control that the Grand Elder of the Altair clan had worn shattered into a million pieces. His wrinkled face hardened, filled with a suffering so deep and real that Rayden's own anger instantly subsided, replaced by a suffocating sense of dread. This was the core of his regret."Kara…" the Elder whispered, his voice hoarse as if the word itself was painful to speak. He closed his eyes. "She was the brightest star our clan had ever produced. A gen

  • The Cultivator's Revenge    Chapter 70. The Unexpected Eyewitness

    "A major problem?" Rayden repeated, his worst fears gripping his heart. His entire body tensed. "What happened to Raelyn? What did Lucien do to her?"The Grand Elder of the Altair clan looked at Rayden, and for a moment, the steel mask on his old face cracked. In the depths of his cloudy eyes, there was a flicker of sincere sympathy, a flash of resonant pain. However, the words that came from his mouth remained cold and factual, as if he were merely reading back a report from that cursed night—a defense mechanism he had honed for ten years."Not that," the Elder answered softly. "The problem he meant was not your sister. According to Lucien's brief report, Raelyn had been 'handled'. He provided no details. His report only stated that the second target was no longer a threat to our plans."The words handled and no longer a threat were crueler to Rayden's ears than any description of torture. He understood immediately what they meant. It was the cold explanation behind his sister's whee

  • The Cultivator's Revenge   Chapter 69. The Ravine and the Silence

    A thin, bitter smile touched Rayden's lips as he heard the end of his pursuit's story. It wasn't a smile of victory, but the smile of a man recalling a strange twist of fate. He remembered Master Sena's weathered hand pulling him from the brink of death, his confusion upon waking in a village hidden from the world."Their report wasn't entirely wrong," he said, his voice calm.The Grand Elder of the Altair clan nodded, as if he had expected that answer. "At that time, we didn't know a miracle was waiting for you at the bottom of the ravine. To us in the command room, that report was a bright spot in a chaotic night. We considered you dead."He leaned back, a sigh of relief held for ten years finally escaping his lips. "One problem solved. It was a horrific relief for us. With you dealt with, all remaining resources, all the elite trackers and assassins, could now be focused on a single, final target: your twin sister."The tone of the story shifted. The hunt, which had been divided an
