Chapter thirty three
"Your mother didn't even come to see you off," Vandal whispered into Sabine's ear, his voice low enough that it was swallowed by the noise around them. His gaze drifted briefly across the crowd, as if expecting Elder Clara to appear at the last moment, but there was no sign of her. The absence lingered more than it should have. Sabine did not bother to look. She adjusted the strap on her wrist and gave a small shrug. "I already knew she wouldn't come. I don't care if she does." "Hmph." Yazmeen's lips pressed into a thin line as she noticed Vandal and Sabine still talking. Her eyes lingered a moment longer than necessary before she turned away. "You really need to stop paying attention to that boy, Yazz," Jaclynn said, already tugging at her arm. "Let's go." Without waiting for a response, she pulled Yazmeen along, and the two of them stepped into the portal together. One by one, the others followed, their figures swallowed by the white glow. When it was Vandal's turn, the li

"Look! I knew he was a swindler!" Seeing the man's vanishing steps, Sabine angrily stamped her feet.Vandal was not angry. On the contrary, he was still intrigued by the object. There is something special about this disc.After they bought the provisions and medicines and returned home, Sabine was frowning. However, as soon as they entered his room in the enforcer courtyard section, she was no longer angry or pouting. Instead, a sweet smile hung on her face."Oi, did you figure out how to use it?" Sabine asked, still smiling."So you were acting just now."Seeing the strange change in Sabine, Vandal figured out that she had been acting intentionally. She had clearly discovered his intentions."If you had said nothing and given him the fifty denamis, that man would certainly have tried to raise the price. If I did not oppose you, how would you get it so easily?""That's right. You are very smart," Vandal said. He had already discovered the use of the disc. He was able to read the meani

"Stay away from him. He doesn't need distractions like you," Sabine said, stepping slightly forward, her body angling in front of Vandal as if to shield him. Yazmeen's brows lifted in mild surprise, but it quickly melted into amusement as she tapped her chin lightly and tilted her head, as though she had just realized something profound. "Oh... I see now. No wonder you're not a distraction to him." The words landed harder than they sounded, and Sabine's breath quickened as her fingers curled tightly at her sides until her knuckles lost their color. A faint tremor ran through her arms, and though she had been angry before, it had never felt like this, never like something tightening around her chest. "I think that's enough," Vandal said, his voice cutting through the tension before it could snap. Yazmeen turned to him, the playful glint still lingering in her eyes as he met her gaze steadily. "Thank you for the offer, but I'll have to decline." For a brief moment, something

"Shit... how did that bird hear me?"A bead of sweat slid down Vandal's spine, cold against his skin."Oh? No one wants to speak?" Elder Yung's voice cut through the hall, sharp as a blade."Elder, I don't think..." Mael began."Stay out of this, Mael." Yung didn't even look at him. "You know the rules of this sect. An insult to an elder is no small matter. If order crumbles in the smallest things, chaos will devour the greatest."Silence clamped down on the room."I want everyone to stand still.""Proud," Yung called, tilting his head toward the black-feathered crow perched nearby. "Find the one who insulted me."Vandal's pulse spiked.*Proud? That ridiculous bird has a name?*His fingers twitched at his sides. Think. Think. I can't run. Not here...The crow lifted into the air with a harsh flap of wings, circling above them. Its dark eyes scanned the line, slow and deliberate, before it descended.It landed. It's claws gripping firmly onto Sabine's shoulder.Vandal's breath caught.
Chapter twenty-nine
Elder Yung’s shadow fell across the polished floor before he did. Vandal felt Mael go very still beside him, a soldier’s stillness, the kind that meant pay attention, this matters.The elder’s right eye twitched the moment his gaze landed on Vandal. The memory of the boy once calling him useless flashed behind his eyes, and something in his jaw tightened at the sight of that same disciple now standing among the enforcers, the highest and most respected rank in the sect.“You will be protecting descendants of the holy fathers,” Yung said. No greeting. No preamble. “No harm comes to them. They seek to gain experience with this expedition and will meet you three days from now.”This annoying brat, Yung thought, holding Vandal’s gaze. I hope you die in this expedition.“And if the Resonance Council attacks us for being there?” Vandal asked before the elder could continue. “Are we allowed to kill them, or just die politely?”Yung’s water glass stopped halfway to his mouth.Behind him, one
Chapter twenty-eight
“You bastard! You dared to use underhanded methods to nearly kill me and now you have the audacity to join the enforcers!” the broad-shouldered youth snarled. “You have no virtue and no abilities. That is why you kept rushing me like a coward.”“Hutrar, shut up!” Sabine stepped forward, her voice rising. “I literally had to beg him to stop hitting you or you would have died!”Vandal gently pulled Sabine behind him. A calm smile touched his lips as he stared straight at Hutrar. “Let him finish. What do you want to do about it? Yes, I am now a member of the enforcers. So what?”“You lost fair and square,” Vandal continued, his tone steady. “And you tried to kill me first. You literally tried to fry me with your flames.”“You are not worthy to join the enforcers!” Hutrar bellowed.Jaden stepped in beside him, his voice dripping with poison. “Hutrar is right. You are not worthy. The test clearly showed you have no proper resonance energy and your talent is tier zero.”Jaden swept his gaze
