Chapter 84: Whispers of Treachery
Heavy iron gates creaked shut after Yasha left the brightly lit coliseum floor and walked back into the cool darkness of the underground corridors. The aftershock of his easy victory was radiating through the coliseum in whispers of fear and reverence, but the victor walked with the leisurely step of a man who had just returned from a morning walk.The VIP balcony was thick with suffocating tension.Ethan Valemont sat petrified with rage, the marble railing crumbled into dust under the power of his hands. Kaelen, the brawler Ethan had personally picked, bribed, and placed right in front of Yasha in order to crush him, had failed to even make the fourth son raise his hands."I invested millions of dollars into that dumbass, and he proved to be nothing but a wet rag," Ethan whispered through clenched teeth, the sound of pure malice vibrating in his voice."Calm yourself, Young Master," a silky-smooth voice whispered somewhere behind him.Ethan's head butler walked to the forefront of th
Chapter 83: Blood in the Arena
The deafening roar of the colosseum crowd vibrated through the ancient stone foundation as the first official martial duel of the Coming-of-Age Ceremony was announced. In the waiting tunnel, the iron gates creaked open, allowing the harsh light of the morning sun, along with the smell of ozone, sweat, and dried blood, to come through. "First match!" the announcer's voice resounded throughout the packed arena. "From the branch families, Kaelen Valemont! Against… Yasha Valemont!" All of a sudden, a loud murmur ran through the tiered spectator seats. On the VIP balcony, Ethan Valemont leaned forward, a malicious smirk appearing on his face. Everything had worked out just the way he had expected. On the arena floor, Kaelen—a muscular brute from a branch family known for using a jagged two-handed poleaxe—appeared. Although he seemed to be quite nervous, his eyes showed dangerous greed and desperation. He had clearly been bribed and knew what the elders were expecting from him. Fro
Chapter 82: The Edge of War
The long shadows crept across the well-kept gardens of the Valemont family estate, obscuring the final bruised glow of twilight. As the other survivors were busy repairing their injuries and licking their wounds sustained from the harsh aura test performed by the Patriarch, Yasha's private mansion continued to remain untouched by the turmoil of that night. In his spacious study, Yasha was sitting behind a massive mahogany desk, leafing idly through various old family scrolls and records of martial arts history. The air around him was serene, filled with the subtle aroma of smoldering sandalwood incense. The sound of approaching footsteps could be heard outside the door. Stella walked in wearing her perfect maid uniform, carrying a tray with a warm mug of herbal tea. "The estate seems unusually calm tonight, master," Stella spoke quietly, placing the tray on the table in front of him. "Although, according to our scouts, the second son's entourage has been frantic ever since the ar
Chapter 81: Pressure Arena
The early morning sunlight illuminated the grand central amphitheater of the Valemont manor with a searing light. One hundred surviving participants of the Coming-of-Age Ceremony assembled inside the large stone fighting arena, with resounding footsteps echoing in the air.Among them, Julian walked with his mouth set in a grimace because of the stiffness in his body, whereas Yasha calmly strode inside, his hands tucked into his pockets as if he had come to some gallery presentation.On the high VIP platform overlooking the grounds, the tall silhouette of the Patriarch looked down at the area with a merciless, icy look of assessment at the youths who had managed to survive in the Crimson Veil Wilderness.Across the amphitheater, Ethan Valemont, the second son, saw Yasha standing relaxed among the surviving participants. The young man immediately froze, his eyes popping from pure, poisonous hatred as his fingers dug so hard into the stone railings that small pieces of marble cracked. Ho
Chapter 80: Day 6
The exhausting three-day survival race through the Crimson Veil Wilderness had finally come to an end. The participants started emerging from the trees in a weary fashion and entered the large clearing of the mountain stronghold, their bodies battered and clothes torn.Among them walked Julian, limping and holding the spot on his side where he had been wounded during the race a few days ago. He breathed heavily.A little bit farther away, Yasha stepped out of the forest. He looked like he had just been taking a relaxing walk in a botanical garden: perfectly tidy clothes, completely relaxed posture, and his hands in his pockets. However, when the other participants saw him, a wave of natural panic ran through them. They started actively avoiding him and making a path around him. Yasha ignored them and calmly walked towards the finish line.In the middle of the clearing, there was a large wooden table, which was guarded by the family guards who were supposed to record the points and the
Chapter 79: The Alliance of brothers
The oppressive silence of the solitary clearing was interrupted only by the uneven panting of Julian. Blood dripped down from his wound, seeping into the mud under his boots, yet he continued staring intently at his fourth brother, who had nonchalantly blinked away an elite team of masked assassins as if they were nothing more than a handful of dust.Julian released a sudden, breathless laugh finally breaking the tension—a mix of disbelief, humor, and unwilling relief. He lowered his sword by an inch, shaking his head."I warned you to be careful," Yasha said smoothly, keeping his hands behind his head with ease and giving Julian a playful smirk. "You shouldn't have worried about me. But considering your current state... looks like you would've been six feet underground five minutes ago if I hadn't appeared."Julian shot him an uneasy smile followed by a short, dry chuckle. Wincing in pain as sharp agony ran through his ribs, Julian looked back up, narrowing his piercing eyes."Fine,"
