"My decision is final, I won't change my mind. I can leave in peace because the highest position is now held by the right person, and that's you, Callen."Several soldiers tried to interrupt, but she raised her hand and continued, "I've seen enough wars and enough losses, and now there's someone who can continue all of this better than I ever could."Callen clicked his tongue, crossing his arms. "I didn't expect the one always called my rival in the race for Supreme General to just walk away like this when she's almost reached the peak."He stared at Rosalin, as if trying to stop her decision with cold logic. "If Henrietta still had a choice, I'm sure she would rather see you stay in the military than disappear like this."Rosalin let out a small, sarcastic laugh and replied, "You all are so ignorant! You're too focused on war and victory that you forget who built you in the first place. Henrietta is slowly sacrificing herself while you keep moving forward without ever truly looking b

The students in the class were still staring at Lily until a boy said, "That… impossible for a beginner."Even May looked surprised, though she tried to hide it. "Her control is extremely stable for a first attempt."She then raised her hand and extinguished Lily's flame. "But we're not stopping here."Haidan looked at Lily with sparkling eyes and whispered excitedly, "Lily, you're amazing!"Lily herself looked confused as she stared at her own palm. "I just followed what Big Sis May said…"May then took a small crystal from the instructor's desk. "Usually, you only have a strong affinity with one main element, or at most two if their talent is exceptionally high, and today I want to check which element suits each of you the most."She then placed the crystal on the table at the front of the class.One by one, the students stepped forward to touch the crystal. Some made it glow red, indicating the fire element. Others, blue for water, while a few only produced a faint light because th

At the Hawkins family mansion, Selena rose from the sofa the moment she heard the envoy's report. "Really? Oliver Young is willing to help Alexander?"Larry quickly nodded. "Yes, Madam! But Mr. Oliver requested that Young Master Alexander's body be brought directly to his facility for examination!"Selena turned toward Vito with hopeful eyes. "We have to bring Alexander there right now!"Vito frowned deeply instead. "It's not that easy.""What do you mean it's not easy?!" Selena shouted in frustration. "Alexander is our son!"Vito roughly rubbed his face before answering, "Alexander is still under the Emperor's direct supervision. His Majesty himself is handling his treatment process."Selena stepped closer as her emotions became more unstable. "Then use that request."Vito looked at his wife, confused. "What request?""Don't pretend you forgot!" Selena's voice rose. "The Emperor once promised The Noble Order one request per year as payment for our loyalty! Use it to bring Alexander o

The sound of something shattering echoed from the hallway. Screams followed moments later, causing Matthew to rise. James and Michael turned toward the door with cautious expressions."What's happening outside?" Matthew asked.James stepped out first, followed by Michael and Matthew behind him. The moment the door opened, they saw several bodyguards lying on the marble hallway floor, breathing heavily with bruised and battered faces.One of the decorative tables had been shattered, while blood stains could be seen near the wall. The servants looked terrified and moved aside when they saw the high-ranking officials come out.Michael frowned. "What the hell is this?"James crouched beside one of the bodyguards who was still conscious. "Who did this?"The bodyguard coughed before answering with difficulty, "We... we don't know, sir. That person moved too fast. He infiltrated the area and tried to record your conversation."Matthew's eyes widened. "Recorded our conversation?"The bodyguar

But several seconds later, footsteps echoed once again from inside the smoke.Tap.Tap.Rosalin walked out while holding a pale blue energy spear that had just formed in her hand. Her dark red hair fluttered in the cold wind while her sharp eyes locked directly onto Fang."She's not even injured!""What kind of monster is this?"Fang finally lost his relaxed expression. "You..."Rosalin spun her spear once before speaking, "Now it's my turn."Whoosh!Her body shot into the air. The pale blue spear left behind a trail of cold light that split through the arena.Fang hurriedly formed a blood barrier.CLAAANG!The first impact cracked the barrier. The second impact shattered it completely. Fang's eyes widened when Rosalin appeared in front of his face."Too slow."Rosalin’s kick slammed into Fang’s stomach and sent his body crashing into the arena like a meteor. The black steel floor shattered apart and formed a massive crater.The military soldiers erupted in loud cheers."That's Former
