Samuel didn't show any expression.An awkward silence hung over the table before the ordinary-looking man coughed lightly."I already introduced him," he said."So?" Samuel raised an eyebrow.The burly man lifted a hand. "I'll take it from here."He fixed his gaze on Samuel."You don't look surprised after hearing my identity," he said."I don't even know what the Black Veil is to begin with." Samuel shrugged.The two men stared at him incredulously. Then they exchanged glances and burst into laughter."Kid, you're funny. I'll give you that." The Night Owl chuckled."I don't see what's funny here, to be frank. You're just disgracing yourself." Samuel's voice remained completely serious.The laughter died instantly.A brief silence followed."So, you truly haven't heard of the Black Veil? One of the biggest assassin organizations on the Divine Beast Continent?" Conrad frowned."Oh, you're not even the biggest? I was starting to worry."Conrad's eye twitched."That... that's not even th

"Yes. He's the prince of Nymera," Raven replied."I see. So what are you both doing outside Nymera?""We went to pick him up from a distant village. He's actually the child of one of the King's affairs with a maid," Raven said with a light blush.After all, she herself had been born from an affair."Let's get down the mountain first and find another place to camp. We've been traveling for days now," Samuel suggested.The group descended the mountain and took the southern road.Along the way, Samuel carefully concealed their tracks and created the illusion that they had traveled in a different direction. As they continued their journey, they asked Raven a few more questions before eventually setting up camp beside a river.Samuel had brought plenty of tents, enough for everyone to sleep comfortably. However, he deliberately ensured there was a shortage of one so he could share a tent with Nina."Kael, you'll stay on guard. You can switch with Mia whenever you want to rest," Samuel inst

"She's definitely lying. Sir, it's better if you do this the way I suggested to avoid us clashing with each other," Freya said, her voice slightly shaky.She wasn't confident about a confrontation.The four had deliberately revealed their strength so she could feel the pressure they radiated. She had also realized that the cute fox was a Level Two High Beast, while none of them had reached Level Two of the Nascent Realm or the Archmagus Realm."Don't tell me what to do. Besides, I'm just curious. You can be patient and wait for me to finish," he said seriously.Freya clenched her teeth and fell silent.Raven immediately continued."I swear on my life, sir. I might not be able to give you anything else, but this thousand-year fire seed was found by me personally. I didn't even show it to my father. I hid it away somewhere safe.""Oh, so it's not here with you." The young man sounded disappointed."It's in Nymera, sir. You can follow me. I'm the princess of Nymera, and he..." She pointe

She leaped backward, still clutching Jason tightly in one arm.The pain spread from the wound with terrifying speed, racing through the rest of her body like liquid fire flowing through her veins.Figures emerged from behind nearby rocks.Others stepped out from hidden crevices.One after another, armed men revealed themselves from every direction.They had been waiting.They had never left.Despite the agony coursing through her body, Raven remained calm.Her gaze slowly swept across the ambushers before finally settling on Freya.Freya still held the bloodstained knife.A faint glow radiated from the blade.It was clearly a high-grade weapon, one capable of bypassing her defenses with ease.And the poison coating it was even more terrifying.A single shallow slash had already left her body burning with unbearable pain.For a moment, the mountain seemed to fall silent."Sister... why?" Raven asked, staring at her in disbelief as her grip around Jason tightened.The boy looked even mo

A huge white wolf raced across the rocky wilderness, its massive paws hammering against the uneven ground as loose stones scattered beneath its feet. Atop its back rode two girls dressed in pink and yellow gowns, while a boy of about seven sat between them.Both girls wore troubled expressions.Running alongside them were two grey wolves, each carrying two riders. Together, the three wolves fled across the rugged terrain.Close behind them, seven enormous black leopards surged over the rocks like living shadows. Each beast stood nearly five feet tall and carried two riders.The black leopards were Fiend Beasts, just like the wolves ridden by the fleeing group."Where do you two sisters think you're running to?" one of the riders shouted. "Surrender yourselves, and we won't make things too difficult for you!"The leader of the pursuing men narrowed his eyes."Attack their mounts first!" he commanded. "Force them onto the ground!"The moment the order was given, Dharma spells and Mana s

“We’re going to miss you, Samuel. Can’t you just stay behind? Do you really have to go over there?” Charlotte asked, tears streaming down her face. She already knew this wasn’t one of his usual trips where he would disappear for a month and return as if nothing had happened.“I have to, sis. But don’t worry, I’ll be back soon,” he assured her gently.Kimberly was already crying uncontrollably. “You can’t leave us, Brother Sam. It won’t feel the same without you. Please stay. Nova Isle is beautiful, and you built and fortified it yourself. Everything you could ever want is here, money, fame... Why do you have to leave?” she sobbed, clutching his arm tightly as if she could stop him from going.Samuel sighed softly.“I have to. Things are starting to move again, and there are still people out there who shouldn’t be breathing. Right now, this world is peaceful because the evil ones were wiped out, but it won’t stay that way forever.” He smiled faintly, though the weight behind his words
