'I came to this city for a special mission,' he thought. 'And this man's entire existence isn't even worth it!”
His gaze instantly softened and the aura that pulsed off from him disappeared.
Jason breathed heavily, it was as though a weight had been lifted off from his shoulders instantly.
For the next few moments, he fought to catch his breath as his heart pounded hard on his chest.
This time, he stared at Riley, the fear still clawing at his heart.
Though he didn't know how, something told him that Riley had something to do with what just happened.
But he tried hard not to believe it.
‘It isn't possible.’ His thoughts echoed.
He had a Immoral ranked essence core, a core of rarity at that and his skills was a combat class.
And yet, a slum kid that barely had any essence sense could paralyze him, it was just something that stood at the peak of impossible.
Just then the air shifted and a voice rang the name of the desk officer.
"Jason!"
The voice came from the entrance, woven deeply with a sense of power and nobility.
Jason shot up from his seat so fast his crystal screen went flying. His entire body language changed in less than a second.
"M-Mr. Jack! Sir!”
“It was him all along, the reason for the aura, the shift and I had attributed it to the slum kid, I must be such an idiot.” He hit his hands on his head, running swiftly towards Mr. Jackson with so much reverence.
“Mr. Jackson, it's you. I wasn't expecting you at this time!” He bowed multiple times to the personal assistant of Mr. Edward unknowingly.
“What can I offer you, the academy…” He tried to get a conversation with Mr. Jack.
Mr. Jack walked right past him.
Didn't glance nor did he even attempt to acknowledge Jason's existence.
His feet carried him straight to Riley.
"Mr. Riley," Jack said with a respectful bow of his head. "I trust the registration process has been smooth so far? Sir Harmon Edward sends his apologies for the delay."
The entire hall went dead silent.
Jason's mouth opened and closed like a fish out of water as he tried to comprehend these words.
But each time, his brain seemed to fail.
Mr. Jack was Sir Edward's personal assistant. Everyone knew that name. The man who had direct access to the royal family.
And apart from his association to such a family, he was one of the very few people in the world known to have a God-Tier core and that was enough reason alone for him to be heard
And he was bowing to the person Jason had just threatened to kill.
"I... M-Mr. Jack..." Jason stuttered, his face going from red to white. "You... you know this person?"
Jack's brows knitted dangerously. "Is that a question? You were supposed to have all VIP student details processed. This is our top priority admission under the Mayor's direct order."
Jason felt his knees go weak.
"The process has been very smooth," Riley replied with a half-smile. "I almost got murdered before stepping inside. Great hospitality."
Jack's eyes slid to Jason for the first time after which they stiffened, and his blood froze.
He remembered how much importance Mr. Edward had placed on Riley, literally calling him a God.
Yet, someone as lowly as a desk officer had dared to attack him.
The look alone could have frozen hell.

"If you don't want my help, there’s no need to force it," Riley said, his voice as flat as a stagnant pond. He didn't look offended or hurt. He just looked like a man who had finished reading a boring book and was ready to close the cover.He turned toward the door, but stopped for a brief second, his hand resting on the dark wood of the frame. "But if you change your mind before his lungs fill with that black sludge, you’ll need three things. Crimson-Bone Root, Bitter-Gall Leaf, and a concentrated vial of Night-Shade sap. Mix them in a copper bowl, heat it until it turns the color of a bruised lung, and pour it down his throat."The room went silent for exactly two seconds before Mia’s voice shattered the air like breaking glass."You really are a madman!" she screamed, her face flushed with a mixture of horror and pure disbelief. "Crimson-Bone? Night-Shade? Do you even know what you’re saying, you freak? Those aren't medicines. Those are the base ingredients for ancient execution p

Mia stood by the bed, her fingers trembling as she watched her father’s chest heave. They had spared no expense. Since the moment the Elder had collapsed, they had flown in the most decorated medical minds from across the continent.They’d hired a Sage from the Southern Peaks who charged ten thousand gold a minute, and a specialized surgical team from the Royal Capital. Each one had arrived with a chest full of glowing scrolls and rare herbs, and each one had left shaking their head, claiming the God-tier toxin was "beyond the current reach of medical science."Now, they were down to this—a local scum who looked like he was about to faint and a boy from the slums who looked like he’d just finished a shift at a scrap yard."A few medicines?" the doctor repeated, his voice rising to a shrill, mocking pitch. "The audacity of this brat is truly limitless! Do you even know who has stood in this room? We have had the finest healers in the world at this bedside. Men who have forgotten more a

Mia stood frozen, her eyes darting between Harold’s trembling hands and Riley’s bored face. She felt like her heart was trying to claw its way out of her throat."You’re lying," Mia whispered, her voice cracking. "Harold, you’re playing a joke. It’s a sick, twisted joke. Give me that."She didn't wait for him to hand it over. She lunged forward, snatching the device from Harold’s grip with such force that his broken arm let out a sharp, painful hiss. Her thumbs flew across the screen, her eyes scanning the official academy header, the red-wax seal of the Mayor’s office, and the words that felt like a death sentence to her pride.‘Registered Resident: Riley (NFA).’‘Status: VIP Scholarship / Direct Royal Recommendation.’The phone slipped from her fingers. It didn’t break—it was a high-end device built to withstand essence flares—but the dull thud it made against the thick rug sounded like a gavel hitting a desk. Mia’s knees buckled slightly. Her fair skin, usually so radiant, looked l

The silence in the room was so thick you could almost feel the weight of it, like a heavy blanket pressing down on everyone’s chest. Mia stood there, her chest heaving as she glared at Riley, her eyes darting from his dusty sneakers to his faded shirt. To her, he was a stain on the marble floor, a piece of trash that had somehow blown into a sanctuary."I asked you a question, you vulture!" Mia yelled, her voice echoing off the vaulted ceilings. "How did you get in here? Did you crawl through the vents? Or did you steal a key from one of the workers?"Riley just stood there. He didn't look angry, and he didn't look scared. He looked bored. He slowly adjusted the strap of his bag and looked around the room, his eyes lingering on the high-end furniture and the essence-cooling herbs on the table."I walked through the front door," Riley said flatly. "They didn't even ask for a bribe.""Liar!" Mia hissed. She turned to the man in the white robe—the doctor who had been trying to treat th

Jason shook to his bones, fear filtering through every part of his body. He instantly crashed to his feet, but Jack would not hear a word that proceeded off from his mouth.“Guards…” he ordered.He had not just offended anyone but the guest of Prince Edward. It meant that he was now a fugitive in his own country.He didn't care about his own ego anymore. He rushed towards where Riley was and crashed to the ground, his eyes filled with pleas.“Please forgive me, please.” He begged his eyes out but Riley shook him off.“Does that mean if you never discovered who I was linked to you would have mistreated me and gone scout free?I'm sorry but someone like you shouldn't work in a place like this. The slum is where you belong!” All his further applications fell on deaf ears as he was soon tossed off the halls.Meanwhile, Jack turned towards Riley, apologizing already in his eyes even before they were on his lips.“I'm very sorry about what happened.” He apologized and Riley nodded.“Let
