Chapter 682 – The Unraveled Mystery II
*****“They staged that entire story to cripple your spirits, to crush your will to fight. They wanted the Nightshadow Sect to bleed out slowly… first in body, then in soul. And most likely, they told that lie so that no one would bother looking for Grandpa Zev… much less consider rescuing him from the prison.”“This…”Ayra’s words caught in her throat like thorns.Her eyes widened as the cruel puzzle began to align, each piece more horrifying than the last. Slowly, realization crept across her face… and then came fury, full force.“How… how evil!” she choked, tears finally breaking free and clouding her vision.Her voice trembled, then cracked, until it became a guttural hiss of pain. “They were the Founding father’s best friends!” she exclaimed, her voice rising in disbelief and agony. “How could they betray him like that? How could they scheme so cruelly against their own brother-in-arms? How could they… be that heartless?”Her fists clenched un
Chapter 681 – The Unraveled Mystery I
*****Xavier met her gaze without blinking, then gave a solemn shake of his head. His face was still as stoic as a mountain in winter… so straight, it could’ve been carved from cold stone.And Ayra…It was like her entire consciousness had unplugged.Her spirit exited her body and stood beside her in disbelief. Her once-vivid eyes became glazed and hollow, like the spark had been vacuumed out of her.She looked like someone who had just been told her childhood idol was a scam artist.“How... How is that even possible?” she gasped, her voice trembling.But then, just as his words settled into the air, his brows drew together sharply. Something clicked.“Wait!” he suddenly exclaimed, jolting upright.Ayra yelped, her entire body twitching like she had been shocked by lightning.“Didn’t you say,” Xavier continued, “that the people who attacked your hidden world claimed they had poisoned Grandpa Zev? That he had… been killed?”Ayra
Chapter 680 – The Unraveled Mystery
*****“But… the Founding Father died twenty-four, maybe twenty-five years ago,” she finally blurted, her voice hoarse from shock. “How could you have possibly met him only five years ago?!”Xavier, who had up until now been deep in thought, digesting all of her revelations, blinked and came back to reality with a soft jolt.He gave a slow shake of his head and fixed her with a thoughtful stare. “Unless the Founding Father you’re referring to isn’t Zeverd, the annoyingly wise old man with a sense of humor drier than desert sand, then we’re definitely talking about the same person.”Ayra's head spun.She clutched it, feeling like she was about to scream into the void.“It… it must be him,” she muttered, her voice cracking. “There’s no way there could be such a coincidence. He had the same name… the same aura… and he possessed the sect’s leadership token. It’s him. It has to be sir Zev.”But her heart was thundering in her chest, and a strange, creeping dread began to fill her sou
Chapter 679 – The Talent Beyond the Monster’s Talent
*****For a brief, disoriented moment after hearing Xavier’s words, Mistress Ayra stood frozen, her mind blanking as though someone had smacked her with an invisible frying pan of disbelief.She just… stared.Her eyes were wide open, her mouth slightly ajar, and her brows twitched in confusion. Then, like a puppet coming slowly back to life, she blinked, lifted a trembling finger, and pointed at Xavier with all the grace of someone having an existential crisis.“You…” she sputtered, the words sticking to her tongue like peanut butter. “You only met the Founding Father… five years ago?”Xavier didn’t react for a second, then he gave a calm nod, oblivious to the mental meltdown currently going on before him.“Hmm. That’s right,” he said. “I met him about five years ago, and he took me in as his disciple about four and a half years ago. He’s the one who taught me everything I know.”That, right there… that was the fatal blow.The straw that didn’t just break the camel’s back but
Chapter 678 – The Nightshadow Sect’s Fall II
*****Ayra’s lips quivered for a moment, her eyes gleaming as though blinking back flames. She seemed to be recalling a scary nightmare, one she would do anything in her life not to remember again.“But then…” she continued, her voice small, heavy, and raspy. “Weeks turned into months, and months turned into years. But still, there was no word... nothing.”She heaved a deep sigh that seemed to scream many unspoken emotions.“Soon, the discomfort grew like a cancer. The elders of the sects searched in secret, doing everything to find the Founding Father, while putting on brave faces. They lied to themselves and us that all is well. Until it was too late…” Her voice cracked, and she clenched her fists so hard the veins stood out like tree roots under her skin.“Until that cursed morning,” she hissed. “That one morning that shattered every single thing, a day that I and the rest of the sect members shall never forget for the rest of our lives.”Xavier leaned slightly forward.“I w
Chapter 677 – The Nightshadow Sect’s Fall I
*****Xavier exhaled slowly after a moment, the weight in his chest lifting as understanding replaced resentment.Maybe the old man never had time to explain. Maybe… I never asked. He had taken the token back then without question, eager and hot-blooded.He hadn’t known the burden and hadn’t cared. Not until it was already around his neck.Xavier’s hand slowly released the chain, letting the pendant settle gently against his chest. Then a low sigh left his lips.Ayra was watching him the entire time… every flicker of thought and every twitch of emotion in his eyes. When he looked up at her again, she stood at attention, expression unreadable.“I understand now,” he said, his tone calm but resolute. “Grandpa Zev meant well. He built the token to protect the position… to protect the vision he believed in.”A beat of silence.Then Xavier’s lips curled into a mischievous smirk, and he tilted his head slightly.“But tell me something,” he said, his voice suddenly laced with dry sa
