Chapter 249: The Truth in the Darkness
The darkness that descended upon the room was suffocating. It wasn’t just a lack of light; it was as though the very air had thickened, pressing in on Gregory’s chest, making it difficult to breathe.His heart raced, and every instinct told him to flee, but his legs refused to move. The silence was deafening.The stranger stood in the center of the storm of shadows, his figure barely discernible now, just a wraith-like silhouette in the abyss.The cold, chilling smile never left his face. The whispers of a forgotten past seemed to hum in the air, a language Gregory couldn’t quite understand, but his gut told him it was the key to everything.Gregory’s eyes darted around the room, trying to make sense of what was happening. The golden figure had vanished, had he been consumed by the shadows? Or had he left them behind to protect Gregory from whatever was coming next? He couldn’t tell.The room was too thick, too disorienting, But then, from the depths of the void, a familiar voice cut
Chapter 248: The Mysterious Stranger
The mysterious figure in the doorway was like a storm entering a calm room, his presence heavy, undeniable. The shadows around him seemed to ripple, as if they obeyed his very will.His silhouette was imposing, cloaked in darkness, with only the faintest hint of his face visible under a hood.Gregory’s heart skipped a beat. His father’s words had been interrupted by this man, who was he? And why did it feel like this was no coincidence?The golden figure at Gregory’s side tensed, his eyes narrowing. "You shouldn't be here."The stranger didn’t react, merely stepping into the light, his boots clicking on the stone floor with each calculated step.The temperature in the room seemed to drop as his presence filled the space, the air becoming thick with tension. He stopped just beyond the threshold of the hall, his eyes scanning everyone in the room before locking onto Gregory."You," the stranger said, his voice low and steady, "you are not supposed to know this much."Gregory’s pulse qui
Chapter 247: The Father’s Betrayal
The air in the grand hall was thick with anticipation, every footstep echoing in the silence. Gregory stood at the threshold, his eyes locked on the shadowed figure seated on the throne. His father.A lifetime of unanswered questions, a lifetime of abandonment, all of it swirled within him like a storm. Yet, the man seated before him was not the figure of invincible power that Gregory had envisioned.He was slumped, frail, and aged beyond recognition, a shadow of the imposing ruler Gregory had once feared.The golden figure, now standing beside Gregory, spoke softly. “This is the man who abandoned you. The man who kept you from your birthright. The one who chose power over family.”Gregory’s chest tightened as the words cut through him. His father, the man who had sent him to the gutter, the man who had allowed him to be beaten and humiliated by his own children, was the same man sitting there now, broken, a mere ghost of what he once was.But there was no room for sympathy here. No r
Chapter 246: The Final Test
The golden figure stood motionless, his sword hovering above Gregory's throat, the gleam in his eyes now replaced by something far deeper, something unsettling. Gregory’s breath came in ragged gasps as he stared up at the towering figure, his mind racing, his body screaming in protest.For a moment, time seemed to freeze. The weight of the sword above him was no longer the only thing pressing down. The pressure of the entire world seemed to converge on that single, breathless moment. Every decision, every step, every sacrifice, it all led up to this.The golden figure’s expression softened ever so slightly, his grip on the sword loosening. He lowered it just an inch. The silence that followed was deafening, and Gregory could feel his heart pounding in his chest, each beat a reminder of what was at stake.“You have done well, Gregory,” the figure said quietly, his voice no longer booming but oddly calm. “Better than I ever anticipated.”Gregory’s brow furrowed, a mix of confusion and e
Chapter 245: The Golden Trial
The ground continued to tremble beneath Gregory’s feet as the golden-armored figure took a step forward. His heart hammered in his chest, the air heavy with a strange, almost suffocating energy.The towering figure remained silent, but its presence was overwhelming, as if it were more than just a man, it was a force of nature, a living embodiment of power.Gregory could feel his breath catch in his throat, every instinct screaming for him to run. Yet, his legs were frozen, his feet unwilling to move. He was no longer just a housekeeper, no longer a helpless servant.He was the heir to an empire, and this was his moment to prove it, The golden figure’s hand reached up, slowly removing the helmet, revealing a face both familiar and alien.The man beneath the helmet was older than Gregory had anticipated, with graying hair and deep lines etched into his face. But what caught Gregory’s attention were his eyes, eyes that gleamed with ancient knowledge and power."Do you know who I am?" The
Chapter 244: The Awakening Shadows
Gregory’s heart pounded in his chest as the deafening roar reverberated through the chamber. His instincts screamed at him to turn and flee, but his legs refused to obey.The shadows around him thickened, coiling like serpents, their forms shifting and contorting as they seemed to move toward him.A cold gust of wind swept through the chamber, sending a chill through his bones. The eerie blue light flickered and dimmed, casting everything into a deeper, suffocating darkness. His breath hitched in his throat as the air became thick, almost suffocating.The very fabric of reality seemed to warp around him. "Who's there?" Gregory called out, his voice trembling despite his best efforts to sound strong.No answer came just the continuous roar, growing louder and more menacing, reverberating off the walls. It felt like the sound itself was alive, feeding on his fear.And then, from the shadows, a figure emerged. It was tall, with elongated limbs that seemed to stretch unnaturally, its body
