Ch. 235 An order from the despicable father
A soft smile played along Ragnar's lips. He slowly exhaled and leaned back against his chair, looking like someone settling in to watch a good show.Almost immediately, the phone began to ring again.This time, Kenneth was calling.Ragnar tapped the answer button and brought the phone to his ear.“Ragnar, you unfilial son!” Kenneth roared through the receiver.Ragnar winced and promptly moved the phone away from his ear.“Your mother has called you so many times, but you refused to answer.”A sneer tugged at Ragnar's lips. Then he chuckled.“If my mother really called me, the academy would have called you to come collect my corpse.”“You!” Kenneth snarled from the other end.“What?” Ragnar arched an eyebrow. “Don't you know my mother's current location? Or are you trying to tell me it's time for me to join her too?”Kenneth inhaled sharply.Ragnar was almost certain the man was about to snap again and launch into another tirade.Instead, he heard a low, irritated “Humph.”A few second
Ch. 234 Sinking low
Ragnar sighed heavily and lowered the phone onto the desk before him, letting it ring. He left it there for a moment before navigating to the investigation reports.Of the six families involved in that night's conspiracy, two were very familiar.One was the Soul Ascension Court.He had personally experienced their power the day he followed the general to the Bi-centennial Auction held by them. He had seen enough to know that what he had encountered that day was nowhere close to the full extent of their power.Their connection ran deep. Their resources were vast, and their ties to the government were anything but simple. It was also said that the Soul Ascension Court in Eadom was merely a branch.The main clan they had branched out from hundreds of years ago was said to be in the Central Plains, one of the oldest commercial and martial hubs in Vaelon.Ragnar's gaze moved to the second most powerful family involved in that night's conspiracy.The Wilcox Clan.The Wilcox Clan sat at numb
Ch. 233 Did I miscalculate?
Ragnar's jaw tightened.The Twelve Thieves were a powerful terror group whose abode was the Valley of Fallen Saints.While it was called a valley, it was more accurately a deadly canyon, filled with treacherous paths, deadly spirit beasts, and poisonous insects. Worse, it was also close to the borders of the hostile country, Akom.Surviving there was not for normal people.Only dangerous fugitives lived there.The twelve were once renowned geniuses of their times, each possessing queer abilities that made them stand above their peers. However, during the Great Uprising, they chose the dark path.Finally, the Progenitor Saint, General Berion, hunted them down after the war ended, forcing them into the valley.Even General Berion couldn't breach the entrance.However, the twelve survived and made the Death Maw their dwelling place, thanks to their unusual abilities.Berion died fifty years ago, but the Twelve Thieves were very much alive, thanks to the forbidden cultivation technique th
Ch. 232 Pressure
Thane jumped down from the bunk and walked to Ragnar, his brows furrowed.“Are you alright?”His words sounded distant and suffocating to Ragnar's ears. He could barely hear him over the thoughts hammering through his mind.Fifty billion Vaelons.He had staked a lot on this project. More than just money. It was the dividing line between where he currently was and the place he was aiming to be.Thane touched his arm lightly, concern visible in his eyes. “What happened?”Ragnar inhaled deeply and forced a smile.“It's nothing. Just some unexpected news.”He didn't want anyone close to him to know he was connected to Moonstone Fishing. He certainly had no plans of telling Thane about it.“I've got this.” He muttered, tightening his grip on the chair he had been holding.Thane stared at him for a while, doubt written plainly across his face. Ragnar had reacted far too strongly a while ago. Even now, his face remained pale, and there was a tension around his eyes that left a nagging suspic
Ch. 231 Bad news comes in bundle
For an entire minute, Ragnar simply stared at the screen.Finally, he tapped on the message.It was from the executive director he had personally placed in charge of Moonstone Fishing after the man had passed a series of rigorous tests.Director Yancy.Could the problem have nothing to do with the mission he had just issued?If so, then it had to be something far more serious.Another message appeared before him.[Moonstone Fishing has been reported to the Federal Development Bureau and FCCAB. The land we acquired in West Eadom might be lost.]Ragnar's eyes widened. His palm slammed against the desk as he shot to his feet.Thane and Vonn both turned towards him, their eyes wide with startled confusion.Ragnar didn't even notice their reactions.His entire attention was fixed on the message glowing on his screen.A third message appeared. It was also from Director Yancy.[We've been ordered to stop work and report to the bureau.]Sweat immediately coated Ragnar's palms. His brows drew
Ch. 230 Preparing to attack the giant's nest
The moment Ragnar received the names, he forwarded them to his investigation team.Seven families were involved with the Ascendant Council. Six had been in attendance. One had been absent.But anyone dabbling in the Soul Ascension Court’s schemes could hardly be considered innocent.Ragnar’s eyes turned colder than hailstones as his fingers moved across the screen.[I want every detail of the following clans, especially the highlighted names. The more dirt you dig up the better.]He went through every name and detail Thane had sent him, highlighting the clan leaders and heirs who had accompanied them that night. He made sure to include the influential elders of each clan as well.They might not have been present at the meeting, but that hardly meant they were uninvolved. Those old men could just as easily have been sitting behind closed doors, pulling strings, making plans, and engineering schemes they believed would benefit their clans’ growth and cause.Ragnar had never believed in
