Chapter 439: Blanket of Protection.
Oasis and Daku enjoyed their food until the first light of dawn began to seep through the distant horizon.The tiny eatery, tucked between stone alleys and lit by a flickering lantern, had grown quieter as the night thinned, leaving behind the soft hum of awakening life.The aroma of roasted meat and sweet spice lingered in the cool morning air, mingling with the scent of dew and distant incense burning from the temple district.Outside, the world was stirring back to motion—the kind of life that never truly sleeps, only shifts rhythm.People who hadn’t attended the auction were already starting their day:merchants opening their stalls, bakeries filling the air with the scent of fresh bread, and street hawkers shouting as they rolled out carts of steaming buns and brewed tea.Yet among them, those who had been at the auction carried whispers instead of wares—rumors spilling from mouth to mouth like ripples across a still pond.The auction had ended only hours ago, but already its ech
Chapter 438: Echoes Before Dawn
The corridor seemed to still.The warmth of the lamps dimmed against the piercing intensity of Oasis’s gaze—those azure eyes shimmering faintly with power, locking onto Duwe’s face.A chill crawled up Duwe’s spine as sweat gathered at his temple.His breath hitched; he felt it—the oppressive weight of sincerity and perception from Oasis."He knows I’m not being sincere…" Duwe’s mind raced for a moment.“How do you know that?” he stammered. “Do you know what’s in my mind? Sister, you see?I tried apologizing—but he’s the one refusing. It’s no longer in my control!”His tone cracked slightly, panic hiding behind forced indignation.Nova sighed, rubbing her forehead. “Brother Avarice, please don’t mind my brother’s tone. Our father spoiled him too much.”Oasis exhaled lightly, his calm returning.“Don’t worry, Sister Nova,” he said, voice steady. “Since your brother’s pride doesn’t allow him to apologize sincerely, I won’t force him.No one should be forced to do what they don’t feel.”H
Chapter 437: Nephew!!!
"Nephew!!!"The shout broke through the soft hum of departing footsteps like thunder cracking through still night air.One man, halfway out the pathway of the seats of the general area, froze mid-step—his face pale, jaw slack, and eyes wide with disbelief.His voice trembled not with anger but with pure shock, and his outburst instantly drew countless heads toward him.The hall, which moments ago buzzed with the sounds of boots and murmurs, suddenly erupted like a shaken hive.Words spilled in every direction—frantic whispers, shocked gasps, and incredulous laughter all blending into a symphony of disbelief.“Did she just say nephew? As in her nephew?” one woman gasped, clutching the sleeve of her companion.“Impossible! The Marcellia, declaring kinship in public?That’s not something she does lightly—what kind of background does that boy really have?” another whispered, eyes wide with a mixture of awe and fear.“I told you, the way that kid carried himself through the auction—so calm
Chapter 436: Personal Announcement.
“Theodore Kaizen…”From Room A8, Mokai Ghecho sat slumped slightly forward, his hands clasped tightly on his knees, his breath shallow.The veins on his temples pulsed as he stared toward the general section where the voice had come from.“He was right there… in plain sight,” Mokai muttered, voice hoarse. “Yet I couldn’t even tell that this monster was among us. This is truly humiliating…”He chuckled bitterly, shaking his head as if scolding himself.“To think I was acting like a big fish… trying to trample the weak. But I’m not far from them after all.”His words, though whispered, trembled with both shame and self-awareness.Around him, the lamps flickered, reflecting off his eyes—eyes that carried both admiration for himself and despair.For the first time that night, Mokai’s arrogance had been stripped bare, leaving only humility in the presence of overwhelming greatness.From the general area, the calm, voice of Theodore Kaizen answered, steady and unhurried.“You speak as thoug
Chapter 435: Titans of Phantom Petal.
The air in the auction hall thickened—heavy, suffocating, and electrified.Oasis’s azure eyes glowed faintly as the Primordial Gaze pulsed once more before fading into stillness.Through it, he did not simply perceive—he saw.Every breath, every flicker of aura, every heartbeat within the auction hall was laid bare before him as if time itself had frozen and his consciousness drifted through all corners of the space.He saw the elders behind their glass panels, the nobles trembling in their cushioned seats in the minor VIP, and even the attendants who stood frozen mid-breath, their hands slightly shaking from the immense pressure now blanketing the hall.But then—“Damn…” Oasis’s pupils shrank. “The old man noticed… and to think—he’s already at the Saint Realm.”A pulse of raw aura's might spread through the hall like an invisible storm.“Who dares…”The words struck like thunder.“Who dares try to peek at this Old Master? It seems the brats of this generation have forgotten the immen
Chapter 434: Probing the Ancient.
“1,250,000!”A calm, resonant voice thundered from Major VIP Room A9 — Grand Elder Macarov Denzai, his tone composed, like a man making a simple statement rather than a bid that could buy half a city.The entire hall trembled with the weight of his voice.Almost immediately, another voice echoed from A10, smooth and somewhat sly.“Master Denzai, this Dodo bears you no grudge, so I hope you’ll understand,” he said with a courteous chuckle. “1,300,000!”It was Dodo Yuichi, his tone light, teasing even, as though he were speaking with an old friend in jest rather than in deadly earnest competition.Then a third voice, vibrant, and brimming with mischief, rolled from A7.“Haha! Let me join in — this is getting interesting! Let’s see if the rest of you can keep up! 1,500,000 gold coins!”It was Javel, and his laughter carried a razor edge of arrogance, the kind that drew equal parts admiration and irritation.A low hum rolled through the audience — a wave of awe.Then Grand Elder Denzai’s
