The double-edged heirloom sword came to a stop right in front of a large tree. Arthur saw it, but unfortunately, he was still quite far from the tree. He was certain that the tree was the reason the Monster clan had lost control like this; otherwise, the double-edged heirloom sword would never have pointed toward it.Suddenly, three Monsters were right in front of Arthur.The out-of-control Monsters surrounded Arthur from all sides.Their glares were both furious and hungry—they wanted to devour Arthur alive.Spotting a medium-sized rock in front of him, Arthur immediately grabbed it and threw it at one of them. As soon as a gap opened up, Arthur started running again to reach the tree.“Damn! It looks like they’re getting even angrier,” Arthur grumbled as he kept running with all his might.One of the terrifying monster’s arms stretched out incredibly long. Arthur’s body was easily pulled toward it.Arthur struggled desperately to break free. Those who saw Arthur caught smiled widely

"What do you want to talk to me about? Whatever it is, just say it—as the leader of the Monster Clan, I’ll definitely help you," said the Monster Clan Leader.Arthur gave a faint smile as he sat across from the Monster Clan Leader."I actually have a problem—maybe the Monster Clan can help me," Arthur replied.Arthur then explained to the Monster Clan Leader that he had been framed by someone. The Wizard Clan believed that he was the one who had killed the Wizard Clan Leader, and they were even trying to imprison him in an Alaskan prison.Arthur also said that he had never had anything to do with the Wizard Clan—he had never even been there—so it was impossible for him to have killed the Wizard Clan Leader.The Wizard Clan gave him time to prove his innocence. However, he himself didn’t know much about the Wizard Clan.“You mean you want to learn more about the Wizard Clan through the Monster Clan?” asked the Monster Clan Leader.“That’s right. Haven’t the Monster Clan and the Wizard

Arthur had arrived in the main city. The Monster Clan had also given him plenty of provisions, so he didn’t need to spend any money on food.Hembely had come to terms with Arthur’s situation after hearing his father’s explanation. She wanted Arthur to resolve his issues with the Wizard Clan first.On his way, Arthur happened to see the leader of the Demon Sect and several of his followers enter an exclusive restaurant frequented only by the upper class.“I need to investigate them too—who knows, maybe they really are connected to the Demon Clan and know the identity of the masked man who’s helping them,” Arthur muttered.With his ten gold coins, he was able to enter the restaurant, even though his appearance was very plain and a bit disheveled.The restaurant attendant initially mistook Arthur for a beggar. Not only was his appearance unkempt, but his face was also unsightly from not having bathed for several days. However, Arthur immediately showed the attendant his ten gold coins an

Arthur pulled his mother’s hand behind his back, trying to protect her. Even though this old woman wasn’t his biological mother, he would still protect her.They scanned their surroundings with sharp gazes, as if searching for something.Now Arthur understood why the members of the Devil’s Cult had come to his house.“What are you looking for in my aunt’s house? Are you planning to rob us?” Arthur growled, his face contorted with anger.Emely looked terrified, her hands clutching her son’s arm tightly. They had come here to target her son.Arthur gently stroked Emely’s hand, trying to reassure his mother that everything would be all right.“Don’t rob my house, or I’ll report you to the authorities! Besides, we don’t have anything of value,” Emely shouted, trying to muster her courage.“Has your chubby son come home yet? Where is he? He must be hiding,” said one of them with an angry expression.Emely looked furious, because it was true—they really were after her son. Perhaps if her so

Arthur made sure his mother was sound asleep. He took the book and went to his room.The system had warned him that a great danger was coming; he had to study this book diligently before the three-month deadline.Queen Avtar’s rejection only made Arthur even more determined to become strong. It was highly likely that Queen Avtar would forcibly take the double-edged heirloom sword and hold a new selection. If he possessed great abilities, the entire clan and Queen Avtar would no longer underestimate him. They would have to acknowledge that he was indeed worthy of being chosen by the double-edged heirloom sword.Arthur sat in the old chair in his room. He began to open the book again.“Weren’t there images of a gold coin and a silver coin on the first page just now? Why aren’t they there now? Is it because I touched the images and the gold and silver coins became real?” Arthur said with a puzzled expression.Arthur smiled slightly—perhaps because he was in need of money—and the Heirloom
