“Come over,” Samuel said.The man glanced at his partner before leaving his seat and walking toward Samuel.“I’m new here and looking for an inn. I don’t know if you have any recommendations?” he asked when he got closer.A faint glint flashed across the man’s eyes.Seems he’s an easy meal, he celebrated inwardly.“Right. There are many options, but I have one in mind. The Mongoose. It’s not very far from here, and I can lead you directly to the place,” the man said.“That’s even better. Take me there, then.”Samuel rose from his seat.The man led him away from the restaurant. After several minutes of walking through the streets, they finally arrived at a modest-looking inn.“This is the inn,” the man said, gesturing toward the building.Samuel studied it for a moment before turning to him.“Are you sure this is a good place? Because I’m going to stay here for a few days.”“Yes, it is. I can also follow you inside. The inn owner recognizes new faces quickly and has a habit of billing

Bradley shook his head.He just left for a day, and he's already married to the future sect leader of one of the most powerful sects in Brentihill. That guy is unbelievable.The news had spread everywhere, and so had his drawing. Samuel was becoming famous for two things. The first was his marriage to the future sect leader of the Ice Frost Sect. The second was his unbelievable strength despite being less than a hundred years old.Some people were even saying he was the son of a hidden supreme expert powerful enough to wipe out all of Brentihill. According to the rumors, that expert's son had fallen in love with the future sect master of the Ice Frost Sect the moment he met her, back when she had run away from the sect.She later left without telling him where she was going. Somehow, he found his way to her wedding, only to arrive in time to see Bruno about to marry the woman he loved. Enraged, he challenged Bruno and killed him on the spot.Bradley almost laughed when he heard the st

“Sis.”Rosalie hurried over and threw her arms around Lena before flashing Samuel a cheeky grin.“Lena, dear,” Mercy greeted.Lena didn't even spare her a glance.“Are you and Aunt quarreling? Can you two please settle things?” Rosalie pleaded. “You know she was the one who took care of us after Mum died.”“Rosalie, listen to me.” Lena lowered her voice and leaned closer to her sister. “That woman has been working with our stepfather from the beginning. Don't let yourself be deceived by the front she put up.”She gave Mercy one last cold look before stepping forward and positioning herself before the gathered elders.Grand Elder Boku spoke first.“We were just discussing you. Your aunt strongly suggested that we postpone the inheritance for your own sake. What do you say?”“Thank you, Grand Elder Boku.” Lena's voice was calm, but there was no hesitation in her answer. “Firstly, that woman has no say in any of my affairs. And I have no desire to postpone it. I'm no longer with my virgi

"Oh. Help us prepare a bath, then," she said.The maidservant hesitated, her eyes flicking between the two of them."What's it?" Lena asked calmly."Are both of you going to bathe together?" the maidservant asked."Yes. Prepare clothes for both of us." Lena nodded."But we don't have any male clothes to put on at the bathhouse," the maidservant said hesitantly."Don't worry. I have plenty of clothes in my space ring," Samuel said.The maidservant bowed before turning around and leaving."News of us sleeping together and bathing together is going to spread throughout the entire sect soon." Lena giggled."Why do I feel like that's exactly what you want?" Samuel asked."Well, you're not wrong." A satisfied smile tugged at her lips. "I've really gone through a lot here and endured enough rubbish to last me a lifetime. But after today, no more."Samuel looked at her quietly. The determination in her eyes was unmistakable. Beneath her calm expression, a fire had been burning for far too lon

"So you mean she knew all along?" Fendara asked coldly."Yes. And somehow, she managed to hide it from us all this time," the woman replied."That's because you're useless!" Fendara's voice thundered through the room. "You can't even tell when someone is lying to you. So what exactly are you good for?"The woman flinched and immediately dropped to her knees."I'm sorry, Fendara. I did my best. I couldn't have known what she was thinking. I'm not a mind reader," she pleaded."Oh, so now you're making excuses for your failure." Fendara's expression hardened. "Get out of my face."She lowered her head and hurried out of the room."What do we do now?"There were three other men in the room, all standing behind Fendara."To tell you the truth, I don't know," Fendara said, his eyes narrowing. "According to our original plan, after my son married her, he would find a way to poison her through intimacy. Once she was dead, he would automatically become the sect leader. But now..."His jaw tigh

“Wait. Do you mean you think it’s impossible that I could have been the one all along?” her auntie asked, her face streaked with tears.“I can’t believe I gave everything to raising you, only for you to start treating me like I’m your enemy. How is that fair?” Her voice cracked as another sob escaped her. “If I had taken all the time I wasted on you and your sister and used it to improve my position in the sect, I would be somewhere very high by now.”She covered her face and sobbed harder.Lena stared at her.If her auntie had been an actress in Merika, she would probably have won an Oscar already.“Let me tell you something,” Lena said calmly. “Everything I told you about what happened during the three years I was lost was a lie. Every single word.”Her auntie slowly lowered her hands.“You really think I trust you enough to tell you everything and keep it from everyone else in the sect? Dream on.”“You ungrateful girl!” Her auntie’s expression twisted with outrage. “I loved you who
