Ch. 011 Arrogance digs deep graves
For two minutes, Ragnar kept silent. Sean Wilcox came from a powerful military cultivation family, and loved to strut around, exhibiting his superior cultivation and pedigree. Not having him randomly come after you was already considered lucky. Yet Aria had offended this troublemaker in his name. “Ragnar, how should we handle this? She mistakenly knocked over the bowl of blood snail his family sent over to help prepare him for the incoming school tournament.” Thane's handsome face creased into lines. Handling this should be easy, but he didn't want to harm his relationship with Aria in case he's still not over her. Hence, he rushed back to check his stance. On hearing ‘blood snail’, Ragnar’s heart sank. Blood snails were incredibly rare treasures for noob cultivators. Half a kilogram could sell for millions, and it was only available through special channels due to the danger associated with its habitat. Eating it could increase cultivation, and purify meridians for faster mana es
Ch. 012 Second lesson for traitors: premium humiliation
The silence that followed was so heavy that it startled Aria. Everyone was staring at her like she grew seven heads. Her heart sank and she tried to replay her words in her mind. Why did it seem she just made a grave mistake? Using Ragnar's name to threaten others always worked. Even if they didn't fear him, his sister was another case. But now… “You think I'm that simp who treats trash like treasure? You entered a restricted lodge to throw your weight around. Forget it if you only handled your boyfriend's people, you actually destroyed my kitchen unit and blood snails. Even if I sold you, you won't equal a single blood snail!”Shame colored Aria's face red, her throat constricted from rage, mouth going dry. Hatred and resentment churned inside her chest. It was all that bastard, Ragnar's fault. If he didn't refuse to answer her calls, and fund her card, would she have gotten desperate enough to come make a scene for food? A lump formed in her throat, and she inhaled deeply, making
Ch. 013 Grace to grass hits hard.
Thane frowned on seeing Kelvin. He was Ragnar's brother. Even if he didn't approve of him because he noticed the underlying disdain with which he treated Ragnar, family was still a delicate precipice. “How much are the snails? I will pay for the damages.”Sean scoffed. “What makes you think you're qualified to bargain with me?”He looked around, brows furrowed. “Who even let him in? Didn't his guest access card get cancelled? What's the security doing? Is Emerald lake a place any stray cat can roll in?”Losing his snails were already tugging at Sean's restraint. Kelvin foolishly rushing in finally gave him a place to vent. The security rushed out and grabbed Kelvin. “Sorry, master Wilcox. We will tighten and restructure the security details immediately.”Kelvin’s face darkened and he summoned a burst of ice dragon energy, throwing the guards off. Ragnar, who was watching from his room, sat up. Ice dragon power. That was his bloodline power. Power that should belong to him. Now, it
Ch. 014 Burdensome, Unwanted
It's been two days, and Ragnar had avoided his father's call like the plague. Even now it was still ringing. He knew exactly what they were calling for. Kenneth Craig had ordered Ragnar to see himself home immediately. The other part, ‘to receive punishment according to family law’, was left unsaid. He read and ignored it, holing up in his room to furiously trade stocks in order to meet up with the astronomical sum required to reverse the destiny swap. Others were training furiously because the tournament was just six weeks away. As for him, he hadn't started. The future wasn't looking promising but he was determined to make it work. No matter the cost. “Hey, won't you get dressed? I'm done.” It was Vonn. Ragnar looked up from the computer. Vonn had mentioned a jade gambling market scheduled to be held in two days time, offering to take him along. He had immediately jumped on the offer. With his golden eye skill, jade was a good way to rapidly increase wealth and augment his tradi
Ch. 015 Threatened
Ragnar subtly stopped Vonn who was at the edge of snapping. His fingers flexed, memories of Aria peeling his skin back at Frostfang abyss playing in his mind. His throat bobbed, fighting against his instincts to tear her apart. Aria felt chills down her spine. That aura. His eyes. Why do they look so strange? Her friend nudged her from behind, reminding her what they came for. She took a deep breath, and composed herself. Putting on her most intimidating aura, she squared her shoulders, jaw pointed forward, eyes directly fixed on Ragnar. The manipulation, gas lighting stance that always worked in the past. “You've grown wings, haven't you? You even dared to humiliate me. Have I been too lenient on you?”Ragnar crossed his arms before him, his head slightly inclined to the left, patiently waiting for the clown to finish her performance. Seeing he said nothing, Aria's eyes narrowed. Did this mean it worked just like before? Doing this in the past always made him take a step back. S
Ch. 016 Introduction to the martial world
Imperial elite magic academy. Auditorium. The massive hall was filled with over two hundred students. The classes today were especially important. With the tournament approaching, students would be too busy for anything else. So as was the custom, the school arranged to teach them everything about the higher world they were about to ascend into—for those who managed to make it into magic faculty. Four elite magic professors were floating on the platforms, elegantly suspended mid air. Vaelon had strict control regarding practitioners, that was the reason the country still retained numerous things unique to ancient earth. They wanted to preserve traditions, while integrating magic to keep up with the evolving world. The sole reason for the continued existence of traditional cars and computers. In countries like Aretria, people casually flew on magical artifacts, with holograms appearing out of thin air. However, Vaelon's government didn't want those who failed to awaken feeling infe
Ch. O17 Cornered
The moment the lecture ended, students began to rush out of the hall. Like there was a reward for whoever left the hall first. Ragnar relaxed on his seat, waiting for those struggling for the exits. He rolled his eyes at their childishness. Everyone would still make it out safely, why the rush? Someone tapped him from behind. It was Vonn. “Aren't you leaving? Wanna sleep here?”“The rest of today is free. And the outer court martial hall is open for an hour. We should try to make it in.”Ragnar didn't look at him, his eyes remained closed, like he was having a personal conversation with his inner demons. “We can just pay for it tomorrow and use it. I don't like the crowd.” Thane rolled his eyes. “Rich bastard. Not everyone wants to spend cash when money could be pinched. Besides, this is a good time to socialize. It's pointless going when it's nearly empty.”What Ragnar heard was: where's the fun in that? I'm going there to socialize and charm girls. Why go when there will be no pr
Ch. 018 Snake pit family
CRAIG MANOR (Formerly moon lake estate, his mom's property.) The moment Ragnar crossed the threshold, a silver goblet came flying towards his head. He didn't dodge. He didn't kneel. Merely turned his head slightly to the side, letting the sharp rim leave a diagonal cut on his left cheek. A trail of blood followed. Ragnar's jaw tightened imperceptibly, something deadly flashed in his eyes. “You unfilial child!” Kenneth growled, hurling a wooden chair towards him. This time, Ragnar reached out, grabbing the seat with a sharp movement. His arm stung from the pain of collision. Without his powers to fuel him, he was but a mere human fetterred by human constriction. His face remained blank. Then he looked up. His stare pierced through Kenneth, who was standing a few meters away, nose flaring. Beside him, Mathilda sat with her hand clasped elegantly on her thigh, watching the scene. His gaze lingered on Kenneth, firm and dissecting. This same old trick. Using threats and pressure to m
Ch. 019 Rapacious and hypocritical
Watching her reminded him a lot about Aria. The little snake must have been coached by the viper before him. “Honey, you shouldn't go too far. Boys will always be boys. It's normal to rebel at his age. Not everyone is as sensible as our Kelvin.” She threw a glance at Ragnar. “Although it was wrong of him to abuse his fianceé in public because his friends goaded him, you shouldn't go overboard. What if you harm him?”Harm him? Ragnar almost laughed. She was truly a comedian. Her hypocrisy unmatched. “We are family here. One love, remember? We really shouldn't let outsiders sow the seed of discord. If there's any problem, we should discuss it. It's true he harmed his younger brother who was only looking out for him, but we should try to understand him. It could not have been easy for him, being compared to his outstanding brother all the time.”On the surface, it seemed like she was trying to stop Kenneth from continuously hitting Ragnar, playing the good cop. However, all it did was
Ch. 020 Zeraya Storm
Ragnar looked behind him. His sister had arrived, with lines of powerful guards behind her. He truly saw her again. His heart tightened, his breathing changed, faster and erratic. A light sheen of warm liquid formed in his eyes, but were held back valiantly. Zeraya's high heeled boots crunched against the ice marteite floors, eyes cold with repressed anger. Her guards were hot on her heels, the sounds of their combat boots drowning all else. She stopped beside the guard who had a demon vine raised high in the air, frozen in the motion, about to hit Ragnar. Her eyes went to the spiked poisoned vines, something deadly flashing in them. The guard shrunk into himself like a rat the moment her burning gaze fell on him. A swift movement of her wrist snapped both arms of the guards and she grabbed the vine he was about to use on Ragnar and descended on him, whipping mercilessly. She intentionally targeted delicate parts, spurts of blood pumping out with each stroke that fell. “Show me
