Kian and Nora were shocked when they heard the statement, especially the part about ghosts.The two of them looked at each other.All this time, they had only heard stories from television, books, and rumors circulating around them.However, seeing one directly was a different matter.They had never seen a ghost before and had only heard rumors about such creatures.Meanwhile, Ryu, who saw their expressions, chuckled softly.He could clearly see how the two children were trying to process the information they had just heard."What's wrong? Are you two afraid of ghosts?"Ryu's question made the two children pout.Especially Kian, who looked unwilling to be called a coward.He immediately sat up straight."We're not afraid! It's just that we've never met a ghost before!" Kian said loudly.His voice sounded full of self-defense.As if he wanted to prove that he was not afraid at all.Nora nodded as well."That's right."Even so, her expression looked slightly uncertain.After all, she di

Albert looked at Ryu, then stood up and walked toward his study.Ryu watched Albert leave, then leaned back against the sofa he was sitting on."Ryu, what about Baza City? I heard the city was destroyed by a terrorist attack," Miria asked.Ryu looked at Miria, the corner of his mouth lifting as he nodded lightly. "Baza City was indeed destroyed, but reconstruction has already begun.""I'm the one in control of that place now!" he revealed calmly.Ryu trusted Albert and Miria quite a bit. Both of them understood how the world worked, so something like this would most likely be kept hidden.When Miria heard that answer, her brows furrowed. However, she quickly realized something and let out a long sigh."So you're the main person responsible for that incident?" Miria looked at Ryu, as if seeking direct confirmation."You could say that. I went to Baza City to kill the mayor because he targeted Jessica and Esmeralda. More precisely, he forced their families to arrange a marriage between

Ryu, who was at the front, sensed that gaze. He ignored it and walked toward the entrance of the house.There, Amelia and the other servants were already standing in front of the door. They were all waiting for the arrival of their master and mistresses.When Amelia saw Ryu's arrival, she lowered her head, and all the servants followed her action."Welcome home, Master and Mistresses!"Ryu, who saw that, smiled lightly. "Thank you for the welcome."Amelia looked at her master with a professional smile. "It is part of my duty, Master. Besides that, dinner has already been prepared in the dining room!""In that case, lead the way to the dining room." Ryu gave an order, which Amelia immediately accepted.The servants opened the door, then led the group into the house.Vera and the other women merely smiled casually when they saw that. However, Rina and her two children were slightly surprised.Having never received a welcome or guidance like that before, it was truly a new experience for

Vera and the other women were stunned when they heard Ryu's statement."Is that real? That villa provides facilities for strengthening our power?" Bella asked in a doubtful tone.She herself felt that there was no place capable of withstanding the destruction caused by spiritual energy unless it was truly a forbidden location."Yes, that place has such facilities, and they're specifically designed for training our abilities." Ryu gave a firm answer.He was not lying because he had already seen the place himself, so there was no reason for him to lie.Kian, who was sitting near Rina, immediately added to Ryu's words. "What Dad said is true!""There are facilities there for combat training and long-term cultivation!" Kian added, causing the women to look at him briefly.Rina turned toward Kian, and her eyes narrowed slightly. "Was the last time you went out with Ryu a trip to that place?""Yes, I went there with him before! The villa grounds are much larger than this house! Nora and I h

Grandpa Den and Ursha walked into the house. Meanwhile, Joz looked at the two elderly men with confusion."Oh right," Ursha said, then turned toward Joz. "Tell the servants to prepare some snacks and drinks. The two of us want to talk about something!"The moment Joz received that order, he snapped out of his daze and nodded obediently. "Yes, Elder Master!"He watched the two old men enter the house, then turned toward his subordinates lying on the ground.He walked over and checked each of them before letting out a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, they were only knocked unconscious.""Still, it's surprising that old man was the one who did all this." Joz muttered softly.After that, he stood up and walked inside. He needed to carry out his master's order and inform the servants about the arrival of the guest.Meanwhile...Den and Ursha arrived at the backyard. Ursha naturally knew that Den disliked staying indoors, so he brought him to the backyard instead."How have you been, old frien
