Chapter 441: Lineage and History.
The realization sent a quiet chill through Oasis — and yet, his gaze remained steady, calm as ever, the faintest spark of azure light flickering deep within his irises.The air in the courtyard thickened with reverence as Dragon-Phoenix and Qilin met in silent recognition — two ancient bloodlines converging in one still moment.The breeze whispered through the paper doors, carrying the faint scent of blossoms drifting in from the garden beyond.Marcellia’s presence was serene yet mighty — every breath around her seemed to bow in subtle reverence.Even the sunlight pouring through the latticed window seemed to bend, refracted through her golden aura that shimmered like living starlight.“Kid,” she began, her tone both melodic and weighted with age-old wisdom.“There is a lot to talk about with you, for it seems you lack a great deal of knowledge about your situation… and yourself.”She gracefully lowered herself onto a silken cushion before him, her golden hair spilling like molten sun
Chapter 440: Princess Marcellia Valmorra
Afternoon — Woods Estate, Guest CourtyardThe air in the courtyard was calm, thick with the scent of flowers, sun-warmed stone, and the faint trace of mana lingering from training.Cicadas hummed softly beneath the afternoon glow.The courtyard’s training field sat bathed in the amber light of the sun, its tiles glinting faintly with scars from past duels.Daku stood motionless in the center of the field, his stance steady, breathing controlled.His eyes were closed, and faint wisps of dark aura flickered around him like heat haze.Sweat trickled down his neck, soaking the collar of his robe, but he didn’t move.He was cultivating focus, refining his internal balance.Meanwhile, inside one of the rooms that opened onto the courtyard veranda, Oasis sat cross-legged on a cushion beside a low wooden table.His expression was calm but deeply concentrated as his eyes traced the manual he had received from Master Draco Ignis — the Infernal Codex of Blazing Insight.The scrolls glowed faintl
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
