CHAPTER 122
Yuchen and Seraphina walked side by side in silence. Their boots crunched on the thick ice.Seraphina pulled her brown travel cloak tighter around her silver armor. Her breath turned to white mist in the air.That when he felt it.Suddenly, Yuchen stopped walking. He raised his right hand, signaling her to halt."System warning," Yuchen whispered. His golden eyes narrowed behind his dark sunglasses. "Thermal anomaly detected ahead. Pressure level is increasing."Seraphina froze. She rested her hand on the hilt of her sword. "What is it? Is it an avalanche?""Negative," Yuchen stated. His voice dropped into a cold, flat register. "It is a human aura. Massive density. High concentration of raw winter energy."The thick fog down the trail began to part.A massive shadow stepped out from the swirling snow. The figure stood tall, wrapped in a heavy white wolf-fur cloak. His silver armor gleamed in the dim light.It was Duke Valerius.The Supreme Commander of the Silver Domain stood alone i
CHAPTER 121
The freezing wind whipped across the mountain ridge. Far below, the royal vanguard camp burned bright orange against the dark night.Yuchen stood in the deep snow. He adjusted his dark glasses. His breath formed white clouds in the bitter air."The contract is finished," Yuchen stated. His voice carried over the howling wind. "The target is destroyed. My service to the Silver Domain ends right here."Vance stepped forward. The veteran captain held his heavy iron shield. Ten elite winter knights stood behind him. Thorne and Kael stood in the front row. They wore thick white cloaks over their silver armor."You fought well, merchant," Vance nodded. "The Duke will keep his word. You are free to walk away. We will escort Lady Seraphina back to the Citadel."Vance turned to Seraphina. She stood still. Her silver armor reflected the distant fires."Let us go, my lady," Vance said gently. "Your father is waiting."Seraphina looked at the burning camp. She looked up at the high mountain peak
CHAPTER 120
The stone corridor was dark and empty. Torchlight flickered against the damp walls. Yuchen walked alone, analyzing the Citadel’s structural layout in his mind.Frost began to creep across the floor stones. The temperature plummeted in seconds.Yuchen stopped. He adjusted his dark sunglasses."System Command: Thermal Scan," he whispered.A figure stepped out from the deep shadows of an intersecting hallway. Draven wore his dark gray cloak, his silver hair braided tightly. His pale eyes glowed with a sick, icy light. A thin sword made of pure black ice rested in his hand."You walk these halls like you own them, merchant," Draven said. His voice was smooth and sharp."I am mapping escape routes," Yuchen replied flatly. "It is a standard tactical procedure.""You are a parasite." Draven raised his black ice sword. "My father is blind. My sister is stupid. They think you are a hero. I see a filthy beggar stealing our resources. I will not let you ruin my domain."Yuchen kept his hands by
CHAPTER 119
The heavy wooden doors of the war room slammed shut. The sound echoed off the cold stone walls.Inside, the atmosphere was thick. A large map of the Silver Domain lay spread across a long oak table. Duke Valerius sat at the head of the table. He rubbed his temples.Seraphina stood on the left side of the table. Her silver armor gleamed in the torchlight. Yuchen stood quietly behind her, his hands clasped behind his back.Draven stood on the right side. His pale eyes stared coldly at his sister."You are a fool, Seraphina," Draven said. His voice was smooth and sharp. "You bring an entire royal army to our front door. You ruin years of careful diplomacy. And you stand there looking proud.""I did not bring them here!" Seraphina yelled. She slammed her hand onto the wooden table. "Father refused to hand me over to the King. Father chose to fight. I just came home!"Draven scoffed. He picked up a small wooden marker from the map. He rolled it between his fingers."You came home because y
CHAPTER 118
The morning sun hit the white snow of the training yard. Yuchen stood in the center of the stone circle. He held a standard wooden practice sword in his right hand. He wore his black combat tunic. A new pair of dark sunglasses hid his eyes. Five elite winter knights circled him. They held wooden shields and training axes. Kael and Jace were among them. They did not smile today. They treated Yuchen as a serious threat. "System Command: Multi-Target Tracking," Yuchen whispered. Blue grids flashed across his vision. Taion hovered near his shoulder. "Watch your left flank," Taion warned. "The big guy with the axe is shifting his weight." "Acknowledged," Yuchen replied. Kael rushed forward first. He swung his wooden sword in a wide, horizontal arc. Yuchen did not block. He simply took one step backward. The wooden blade missed his stomach by an inch. Yuchen pivoted on his heel. He drove the hilt of his own sword hard into Kael's ribcage. Kael gasped, losing his breath. Yuchen swept
CHAPTER 117
The infirmary of the Silver Citadel smelled of crushed mint and strong alcohol.Yuchen sat on the edge of a clean white bed. His black combat shirt was gone. White bandages wrapped tight around his chest and arms. His muscles burned. His mana core felt empty, hollowed out by the massive golden blast he used against Duke Valerius.Five young maids stood around his bed. They giggled and whispered. One maid with bright blonde hair dipped a cloth into warm water. She dabbed a small cut on Yuchen's shoulder."You are so brave," the blonde maid whispered. She leaned close. Her perfume smelled like sweet flowers. "I saw the flash from the kitchen window. You made the Supreme Commander bleed. No one has ever done that.""It was a calculated risk," Yuchen stated flatly. His golden eyes scanned the room behind his cracked sunglasses. "My survival probability was low. But the return on investment was high."The maids giggled again. They did not understand a single word he said. They just liked h
