Chapter 431
Deborah’s brows furrowed, confusion written all over her face.Damien noticed her glance, and his expression didn’t waver. His voice, calm but firm, cut through the tense silence.“Like I said before… it was an earthquake,” Damien said evenly. “I was just trying to arrange my stuffs. That’s why I didn’t open the door sooner.”Then he stepped forward slightly, his presence alone enough to quiet their whispers. There was something in his tone measured, controlled that demanded they stop prying.“As you can see, I’m perfectly fine,” he continued, locking eyes with each of them in turn. “So there’s no need to worry.”Jessica, who had been trembling moments ago, bit her lip nervously and looked down at her hands. Uncle Bernard, though still suspicious, held his tongue. Deborah’s lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to ask more questions, but Damien’s calm stare silenced her before she could speak.“You should all go and rest,” Damien added, softer now but no less firm. “Tomorrow… is goin
Chapter 430
Hearing what Damien had just said, Uncle Bernard didn’t move away from the door like the others seemed ready to. Instead, he kept his hand firmly pressed against the wood, his brows furrowed in quiet suspicion. Deep down, he knew Damien’s words didn’t match his tone. There was something there something buried beneath the calm reply Damien had given.He’s hiding something, Bernard thought to himself. I know that boy’s voice. Something’s wrong in there.Even as the thought settled in his chest, Deborah stood beside him, her hands tightly clasped together in prayer. Her lips moved without pause, a whisper barely audible over the faint creak of the house settling after the earlier tremors.“Please, God… let nothing happen to him,” she muttered, her eyes shut tightly. “He’s the only one left who can protect us. If he falls, we have nothing. We have no one.”She didn’t say it aloud, but the fear clawing at her chest was simple: without Damien, their survival in this spiraling chaos was impo
Chapter 429
Deep inside, from the very core of his being, a surge of energy roared awake. It wasn’t wild or chaotic—it was controlled, precise, almost as if it belonged there all along.His heart skipped as realization sank in, the ring wasn’t gone, the ring had merged with him.He could feel it, its power coursing through his veins, rewriting him from the inside out. And then he noticed something else.His Flash Step, the technique that had always required strict focus, hours of Cultivating and enough Spiritual energy to push forward even a single level, it now hummed within him effortlessly. Damien’s eyes widened, disbelief flooding through him as he tested it internally.Level Seventy? No. Not even close.It was beyond that it was level Five hundred.At that moment his breath caught in his throat. That number shouldn’t even exist, not in any record, not in any training manual. It was the kind of mastery only whispered about in myths, the kind of power that separated mortals from legends.“Fiv
Chapter 428
At that moment, seeing that the ring didn’t work, Damien’s anger exploded silently inside him.Immediately his fist clenched so tightly that his knuckles trembled and turned white, the tendons in his hand straining against his skin. His jaw locked, the muscles in his face twitching as his teeth ground together.He couldn’t believe it, years generations, his family had guarded this ring, sacrificing everything to protect it. It had been passed down as their most sacred treasure, a burden as much as it was a legacy, keeping it for it true master, they had died for it. His parents had died for it.And now, standing here, wearing it himself, Damien felt nothing. No surge of power. No whisper of destiny. No ancient force awakening to claim him.Just… nothing, the weight of that realization burned hotter than any fire inside him.“So this is what they died for?”His chest tightened, a hollow ache deepening into fury. Without being told, he knew, knew deep in his gut that this worthless thin
Chapter 427
At that moment, Damien’s hands froze completely in mid‑seal. The faint hum of energy that had just begun to build around him dissipated instantly, vanishing into silence. His breathing steadied, but his eyes narrowed sharply as the realization struck him like a heavy blade to the chest.“If I go through with this now… it means it will empty me.”The thought echoed in his head, heavy and relentless.He knew what upgrading Flash Step to Level Seventy would demand. It wasn’t just a simple refinement of skill, it was an intense cultivation breakthrough, one that would draw upon every ounce of his spiritual energy to force his body and spirit into synchronization with the technique’s new limits.And therein lay the problem, If he used all of his energy for cultivation tonight, by tomorrow, the day of the meeting his reserves wouldn’t recover in time. At best, he would regain thirty percent. Maybe forty, if he pushed his recovery techniques to their limit. But even that wouldn’t be enough.
Chapter 426
At that moment, hearing what Damien had just said, The Brain finally understood there was no changing the outcome. He had seen Damien angry before, seen him cautious, even calculating. But this wasn’t any of those moods, this was resolve. Unshakable decision Nothing he said, no amount of logic or warnings, would ever make Damien retreat from the path he had already chosen.For a brief moment, The Brain opened his mouth to speak again, to offer one last cautionary word. But the words died before they even left his lips. Silence hung heavy on the line as the realization settled in: there was no stopping what was coming.Finally, with a tone weighed down by acceptance, he said, “Okay, Master. No problem. I will do as you say. The meeting is going to continue. The meeting is going to take place. No postponement, just like you requested.”At that moment There was the faintest pause on Damien’s end, no hesitation, no second thoughts just a simple reply, it was calm and final.“Good.”The li
