Richard growled under his breath. The ivory cane in his hand tapped lightly against the marble floor, a slow rhythm like a war drum that had just begun. “Two million? Hmph. That little girl again.” His voice was low, barely audible to those around him.

Aurora Lancaster glanced at him, offering a faint, poised smile. “Oh, Richard… you don’t mind, do you? I thought auctions were open to anyone who could afford it.”

“Afford it?” Richard snorted, his round face flushed with restrained anger. “You’re everywhere, Lancaster. Every time I set my eyes on something, you show up like a fly on honey. Do you even understand art, or do you just enjoy blocking old men like me?”

Aurora rested her chin on her palm, as though listening to a schoolboy whining about homework. “I understand… opportunity. That’s what keeps me exactly where I need to be, Richard.”

A low murmur rippled through the crowd. They all knew these two often clashed in the world of high-end antiques and fine art. But what made tonig

Facing each other, hands clasped together.Evelyne looked at Kael with a gaze full of curiosity, then she asked in a soft voice."Now, tell me what happened to you for the past year, Darling."Kael smiled warmly."Alright."He took a deep breath, then began telling everything.---When the dragon pendant shattered, Kael didn't die. He transferred to another world.A cultivation world, where cultivation was everything! Where power determined everything!There, death was normal. Fortunately, he was saved by Elder Shen, Mei Lin, and Li Wei—three kind people who accepted him and treated him selflessly.Kael admitted sincerely, he already considered them family.Hearing that, Evelyne was shocked."Cultivation world?!

She looked at the gate with an anxious gaze."Will Clara accept us?""Will her family agree?"But before she could think further—The gate opened. And from inside the house, four people stepped out quickly.Henri Marchand, a middle-aged man with brown hair beginning to gray, wearing a neat white shirt and black cloth pants.

    Meanwhile, far from the hustle and bustle of Elmridge City, past dense forests, past deep valleys, past rushing rivers, stood a towering mountain range.Blackridge Mountains.A mountain range famous for its thick fog that never disappeared, with dangerous climbing trails, with unpredictable weather.A place almost never visited by ordinary people.At the peak of that mountain, among the thick fog covering everything, hidden was a small pavilion.That pavilion was simple yet elegant. Made of old teak wood that was hundreds of years old, with a black tile roof covered in thin moss, surrounded by large rocks overgrown with climbing plants.Beside the pavilion, a small waterfall flowed calmly. Its water was clear and cold, falling into a small pond surrounded by white lotus flowers. The sound of flowing water was the only sound heard in this place.Calm. Peaceful. Perfect for meditation.Only a few people knew of this place's existence, and only five people lived here.Vale and his four s

    After a few seconds—Kael finally heard his baby's crying."UWAAAAHHH!!!"He released Evelyne's embrace slowly, then turned toward the baby crib in the corner of the room.And when he saw his baby for the first time—A small baby boy with beautiful black eyes, with a tiny face red from crying, with small hands gripping a blanket—Kael's tears flowed again.Honestly... he had never cried this much.He extended his hands very carefully, then picked up his baby with very slow, very gentle movements.Worried about hurting him.Worried about being too strong.Worried about not being able to protect this fragile little creature.However—Instantly his baby stopped crying.His eyes that had been wide open slowly closed, his breathing became regular. Then he fell back asleep.Calmly. Comfortably.Evelyne smiled warmly, looking at Kael and their baby with a gaze full of love."Looks like he recognizes you as his father, Darling. He feels comfortable and fell back asleep."Hearing that—Kael wa

    Kael stood right in front of the iron door—looking at the spiritual nets blocking it, looking at the small gap in the door that was only enough to see a little inside.He took a deep breath, trying to calm his heart that was pounding very hard."Evelyne... she's in there. She's behind this door."But before he could say anything—A voice sounded from inside. A voice that was gentle yet firm. A voice that was very familiar. A voice he had missed for more than a year."Leave, Damian. My son is still sleeping. Your voice will wake him."Silence.Kael froze.His body didn't move, but inside his heart, a storm of emotions was raging."That... that's her voice. That's Evelyne's voice. My wife's voice."Tears began flowing from his eyes—unconsciously, uncontrollably.Flowing slowly down his cheeks, wetting the face that still resembled Damian's face.But he didn't care.He just felt—Extraordinary happiness.Exploding longing.After a while, Kael finally spoke, but his voice trembled violent
