Chapter 300: Can a tiger feel pressure from a kitten?
“I can’t believe we’re finally leaving this place. It was nice and all... the food, especially,” Eirene said cheerfully, brushing a lock of violet hair behind her ear as she stood near the inland gate of Bitterhoney Port.Zane stood beside her, arms folded, his sharp gaze drifting across the crowd with mild interest, while Lancelot stood quietly to his side—his expression as composed as ever, offering only a subtle smile in agreement.Not far from them, Zion waited as well.He stood still and aloof, dressed in robes with silver-blue hems, his cold eyes resting on nothing in particular.To his right stood Ragar, broad-shouldered and armored in lightweight scale-plate that shimmered like condensed smoke.And on Zion’s left was Melven, the quiet lean member of Blood Letum—the same man who had been present when Oasis met Iris for the first time.All of them now stood gathered, waiting at the gates for the last of the brothers—Zenon—and his retainers to arrive.“We can finally go home now,
Chapter 299: Daku(2).
Days passed.Daku continued his shadowy surveillance, tailing Zane wherever he ventured from the Sweet Tooth Inn.Like a ghost behind curtains, Daku drifted through streets and alleyways, melting into crowds and fading into corners, his presence as imperceptible as mist before dawn.He never missed a step.But even with his legendary stealth and honed instinct, not once did he find a viable chance to snatch the boy from the open streets.And what unsettled him most wasn’t the lack of opportunity—it was Zane himself.Carefree. Cheerful. Bursting with laughter and joy, the young master of the Bluemoon family moved like someone untouched by shadows.He cracked jokes with his retainers, sampled street foods, marveled at artifact shops, even danced with local children under string lights that sparkled at night.It was like Zane was on vacation… while Daku was drowning in paranoia.“They’re enjoying life,” Daku thought bitterly, “and I’m out here—sweating, calculating every step like I’m th
Chapter 298: Daku.
“So this is the brat said to have the Moon Blooming Lotus…” Daku muttered under his breath, barely louder than a whisper, his tone soaked in wary awe.Despite the warm light of the rising sun cascading across the artifact district—washing over stalls glimmering with enchanted jewelry, fluttering merchant banners, and spell-infused trinkets—Daku’s gaze was fixed solely on Zane.His figure moved effortlessly through the crowd, laughter in his voice, pride in his eyes.“He looks cheerful… friendly even… but something about him is off. Dangerous,” Daku thought, lingering a few rows behind, effortlessly integrating himself with the morning bustle.He looked like any other traveler—modest brown robe, a satchel strapped across his chest, a half-broken fan in one hand, bargaining occasionally with merchants about prices that never really mattered.But beneath the mask, this was Daku of the Starfall Consortium, one of their finest in the arts of stealth, infiltration, and reconnaissance.He ha
Chapter 297: Vast as air.
The morning mist had long faded, and the sun now gleamed brilliantly upon Bitterhoney’s Artifact District, a long avenue paved in glimmering stone and lined with towering shops shaped like pagodas and towers of jade and obsidian.This part of the port was sacred ground for collectors, mages, and cultivators alike — a district where only artifacts were sold.Each shop glowed faintly with runes of security, protection, and appraisal magic, humming softly in the air.The scent of incense mixed with the fragrance of aged parchment and mana-infused metals.Floating display cases drifted outside storefronts, each holding rare rings, blades, pendants, and robes.Shopkeepers called out from their balconies while cultivators bargained in hushed tones over relics that could level cities or preserve life in a dying breath.Zane walked amidst the market in a flowing blue coat lined with white fur, eyes wide with boyish curiosity.Beside him trailed Lancelot, vigilant, and Eirene, arms folded, cur
Chapter 296: Starfall Consortium in Bitterhoney.
Bitterhoney Port — Next Morning...Eighth Floor of the Gilded Whale Inn...The morning light seeped through intricately carved lattice windows of the Gilded Whale Inn, casting a golden glow across the lavish wooden floors of the eighth floor.The air was warm with the scent of pine incense, the faint hum of distant sea waves barely audible beneath the quiet ambiance of murmured conversation and porcelain clinks.In a private chamber draped with silk curtains and reinforced by soundproofing formations, five men in matching dark robes, all bearing the distinct sigil of the Starfall Consortium, sat cross-legged around a circular jade-inlaid table.The low table was filled with breakfast delicacies—roasted flame-fruit, steamed shellfish buns, and tea that shimmered with faint strands of mana.Beside each man lay a sheathed sword, polished, runed, and resting quietly as if waiting to drink blood again.“Are you certain the person you’re talking about has the thing, Itsuki?” an elder spoke,
Chapter 295: Primordial Gaze.
The table before them was now richly adorned with the culinary gems of Bitterhoney Port.Dishes of steamed sea beast, glazed shellfish in honey-wine reduction, spiced lotus root, and crispy herb rice cakes surrounded a warm, glowing pot of mana-infused broth that radiated faint wisps of light.The air was thick with a tantalizing aroma, a fusion of salt, herbs, sweetness, and mana that seemed to comfort the soul as much as it tempted the tongue.Zane, eyes glowing with delight, leaned forward eagerly, hands already in motion, scooping portions onto his plate without pause.“Mmmmh… mmmh!” he mumbled mid-chew, cheeks puffed as he devoured a glistening skewer of grilled meat and his fingers already reaching for the next dish.At his side, Eirene chuckled softly, her lips curled into a gentle smile as she watched the youngest Bluemoon brother eat like a starved warrior.Across from them, Lancelot, composed and quiet as ever, sliced neatly through a piece of sea beast meat, chewing slowly,
