Chapter 110: Unwelcomed
Back inside the grand central hall of the family estate.Han Seojun’s parents were forced to kneel before the entire main family while several guards surrounded them from every direction.They did not allow either of them even the slightest opportunity to move.Han Seojun’s uncle sat comfortably upon the head seat while his expression remained dark with barely restrained anger.Everyone present could sense that his patience had already reached its absolute limit.“So this is the kind of worthless son both of you decided to raise together.”Han Seojun’s father lowered his head while speaking with obvious panic.“My lord, please forgive him. He is still young and must have acted without thinking.”His uncle scoffed loudly before slamming his hand against the table hard enough to make everyone flinch.“Do not insult my intelligence with such pathetic excuses. That boy knew exactly what he was doing before running away. He stole something that ne
Chapter 112: Piercing Scream
Kaien remained completely silent after leaving the frightened merchant group behind.Li San followed closely beside him, though the uneasiness inside her chest continued growing heavier with every passing minute.The strange presence Kaien had sensed earlier only seemed to become stronger the farther they advanced through the ancient forest.It felt disturbingly familiar.It also felt deeply wrong.The oppressive silence surrounding the jungle never changed despite the considerable distance they had already traveled.No beasts emerged from the shadows.No insects disturbed the still air.Even the wind itself seemed unwilling to move through the towering trees surrounding them.Several more minutes passed before Kaien suddenly came to a complete stop.His expression darkened.Several yards ahead, something lay partially hidden beneath thick vines and fallen leaves. Li San cautiously stepped closer before covering her mouth in horror.A human body rested against the roots of an enormous
Chapter 108: Caught?!
Instead, he simply moved closer to her while continuing forward.Li San noticed the subtle movement.Although she did not understand the reason behind it, she found herself comforted by it.Meanwhile, several hundred feet behind them, the atmosphere surrounding Zhao Kan and the Black Dragon Brotherhood was considerably less peaceful.Joon-Hak watched Kaien’s retreating figure while his expression gradually became darker.His patience had long since disappeared.After several minutes of silence, he finally spoke.“We should finish him here before reaching the kingdom.”Several Black Dragon members nodded in agreement.One of them crossed his arms while glaring toward the road ahead.“He humiliated us publicly and interfered with our business without suffering any consequences.”Another member clenched his fists.“The longer we wait, the more annoying this situation becomes.”Joon-Hak’s eyes remained fixed upon Kaien.“We already know where he is going. We already know he has no allies
Chapter 107: Unnecessary Worry
Back inside the servant quarters of the family estate, Han Seojun quietly packed the few belongings he intended to take with him before carefully hiding the black invitation beneath several folded clothes inside his travel bundle. He owned almost nothing besides a few spare outfits, some dried food he had secretly saved, his father’s old water flask, and the invitation that represented his only chance to change his family’s future.Every movement remained careful because discovery meant failure before his journey had even begun.A gentle knock suddenly came from the door.“Seojun, are you awake. I brought you breakfast.”Recognizing his mother’s voice, Han hurriedly hid everything beneath the loose floorboards before answering.“You can come inside. I am already awake.”His mother entered carrying a simple wooden tray before placing it beside him with her usual warm smile despite the obvious exhaustion written across her face.“You worked very hard yesterday, you should eat more toda
Chapter 106: Stolen Invitation
The next morning, the atmosphere carried an unusual mixture of anticipation, uncertainty, and tension.Kaien adjusted the small pack resting against his shoulder while mentally reviewing everything that had happened during the past several weeks.The missing fragment remained somewhere within this realm.The debt hanging over Old Man Ho’s family still needed a solution.The Royal Selection Festival awaited them beyond the borders.And somewhere ahead stood an arrogant prince whom Li San clearly feared far more than she wished to admit.As Kaien finished gathering his belongings, another familiar figure appeared nearby.Chung Yi folded his arms while studying both of them carefully.“I suppose there is no possibility that either of you intends to reconsider this increasingly questionable decision.”“I think we crossed the point of reconsideration several days ago.”Chung Yi sighed while shaking his head.“I miss the days when you used to listen to my advice before making reckless decis
Chapter 105: Avoiding my questions
Moonfang remained silent for so long that Kaien began wondering whether the ancient spirit intended to ignore the question and pretend it had never been asked.The darkness surrounding them remained motionless while countless silver lights drifted slowly throughout the vast spiritual domain.Kaien’s patience gradually began wearing thin.He had spent far too long chasing fragments, surviving impossible battles, and uncovering mysteries that only seemed to create even more questions.Now, for the first time, he believed he had finally found someone capable of explaining at least part of the truth.Yet Moonfang remained frustratingly silent.For several moments, the ancient spirit studied Kaien before speaking.“If I answered your question and revealed everything you wished to know, would you still continue moving forward?”Kaien frowned after hearing that response.The question sounded unrelated to what he had asked.His irritation became obvious.“What does that have to do with anythi
