Byron was momentarily stunned. He then sized up Frederick from head to toe, and narrowed his eyes. "Since it's Ms. Yarborough's orders, I naturally dare not disobey. But the Crimson Robe Society isn't easy to get into. Does this guy have any prominent family background?"Liana raised an eyebrow. "He's from the Lester family, one of the Great Four Warrior Clans in Mirage City.""The Lester family? I've heard of them. They're the oldest Savant Arts family in Mirage City." Byron smirked dismissively. "Though they're a bit lower in status, if Ms. Yarborough recommends him, I will certainly not fail her trust!"He added with a shrug, "Mr. Lester, the Crimson Robe Society is holding a secret party tomorrow. Come with me then. Also, don't be late! The Society hates tardiness!" After saying that, he turned and left with his hands behind his back.Frederick hesitated to speak.However, Liana suddenly grabbed his hand and said, "I know Byron isn't a good person. But if you want to inf

"Phoenix, long time no see. Looks like you've changed a lot!" Frederick felt a wave of nostalgia upon seeing Phoenix. He hadn't expected the shy girl who used to be by his side years ago to grow into a capable commander in her own right.Phoenix knelt, and said with utmost respect, "No matter how much I've changed, I will always be one of yours! I will always be your most loyal attendant, Lord Hades!" For five years, she had taken care of Frederick's daily life. It had been the happiest time of her life. Not only did her strength advance by leaps and bounds, but more importantly, she could be by this man's side, overlooking the entire world.Unfortunately, as Phoenix's strength improved rapidly, she was no longer suited for the role of Frederick's attendant and was reassigned as a general in another region. After several years of hard work, she became the only female War God in Drakonia, Lady Phoenix."Get up, Phoenix. The situation is urgent, and I don't have time to reminisce.

"So when you meet the top dogs of the Crimson Robe Society, you better behave and not screw things up for me!" Byron warned. "Otherwise, I won't be able to save you if anything goes wrong."Frederick was speechless. On the way here, Byron had bragged endlessly about how amazing he was. He had joined the Crimson Robe Society at a young age, and stood above everyone else. But now, hadn't his true colors been revealed?But since they were already here, Frederick decided to go with the flow and adapt to the situation. Following Byron through layers of steps, he unexpectedly found himself looking down into an arena.Instead of wild animals fighting each other, humans were pitted against beasts. Several ragged men in chains were fighting hungry tigers or black bears, risking their lives in desperate struggles. As the audience listened to the desperate howls from inside the arena, they became even more excited, erupting into a thunderous roar of celebration."No wonder Phoenix calle

An auction was a customary affair within the Crimson Robe Society.Items up for bid spanned a wide range—jewelry, calligraphy, Savant Arts manuals, weaponry, human organs, and even living people. The clientele participating in these auctions were mostly affluent enough to rival nations. Even Byron, whose net value was a few hundred million, was considered a small fry. At best, he was only a spectator.The auction venue was packed, even more so than the arena earlier.Byron found a secluded spot, and chuckled. "Mr. Lester, they say the Crimson Robe Society keeps a low profile and is virtually unknown across Aston. But that doesn't stop it from being the most influential and mysterious organization here. You'll see what true power and privilege look like at this auction!"With a serious tone, Byron continued, "Compared to them, even your Great Four Warrior Clans of Mirage City are just child's play."The auction is divided into three tiers.""The first tier is for us small frie

However, Byron's expression remained resolute."Mr. Lester, I know you must think I'm a fool for spending one billion on something as intangible as a star. But I must buy it!"“Why?” Frederick asked, curious."I have a girlfriend I've been dating for eight years. She's an astronomy enthusiast, and her biggest hobby in life is stargazing."As Byron mentioned this, his voice caught, and his nose turned slightly red."But she has leukemia. She's been in the hospital for over two years now. She used to be such an optimistic and cheerful person, but now, she tries to kill herself five times a month."I just thought... If I could buy this star and name it after her, would it make her happy? And in another way... If she's no longer around one day, the star will still be there. I can look up at it and feel like I'm seeing her again..."Frederick was surprised.He hadn't expected the smooth and sophisticated Byron to have such a strong sense of loyalty and love. A rich heir like him, st
