Chapter 518
Cristy's eyes shimmered when she saw Mira, and she immediately held out both her arms. “Mira, my child...” Mira blinked when her mother pulled her into a hug. She clearly didn't know how to react at first. Slowly, she raised both her hands and hugged back. The hug deepened as Cristy held onto her daughter, and Mira gradually relaxed in her mother's arms. Everyone around them seemed to let out a breath they didn't even realize they had been holding. Even some of the elders remained silent, watching the mother and daughter share a moment they had probably been waiting for. Celia turned to Michael and leaned closer, speaking quietly so she wouldn't interrupt them. “I'm going to Barry now. See you around.” Michael nodded, “Alright. Thanks for earlier.” She gave him a small smile before walking away toward Barry. Meanwhile, the hug between Cristy and Mira finally broke. Cristy still had a smile on her face as she looked at her daughter. “It's so good to see you again. You look beaut

Michael and Celia joined the ceremony. As soon as they stepped out of the main mansion, heads turned towards them. A few guests recognized Michael immediately, while others whispered among themselves. “That's him?” “Yes. The conqueror as they say. They said he took a thousand ships down in the Blackwater Expanse.” “You seriously believe that?” An applause broke out across the courtyard, welcoming Michael. Celia felt a little uncomfortable with all the attention and wanted to pull away, “I'll hang with Barry. You should greet your guests.” His hand firmly held onto hers. “We'll greet them together...” He said without looking at her, “If that's okay with you.” Her eyes widened in surprise, she knew what that meant. A Scofield welcoming guests with their plus-one by their side simply meant one thing… He was openly acknowledging her presence beside him, this action alone confirmed what he felt about her. She took a breath, then nodded. “Of course it's okay with me.” Michael smil

Michael straightened his tie in front of the mirror and sighed. He took a step back to observe his reflection. His hair was styled neatly, and the suit fit him perfectly. He was wearing the same watch Gerald had given him during his welcome ceremony over two years ago. On the side of his suit was the Scofield family symbol, neatly pinned in place. He looked at himself one more time before adjusting his tie slightly. Just then, a knock came from outside the door. Before Michael could answer, the door opened and Celia stepped in. She wore a sleek black straight dress with a slit running along one side that gave it a classy but bold look. Her dark hair had been styled beautifully, falling neatly around her shoulders. She looked elegant without trying too hard, and for a moment, Michael simply stared at her. He blinked and finally smiled, “Celia? You came…” “Yes, I did.” She closed the door behind her and smiled. “I didn’t want you to miss me too much.” Michael chuckled softly, “Yo

The planning for the annual Scofield ceremony went smoothly despite it being an impromptu event. What had initially seemed impossible was finally coming together, and the entire estate was slowly being transformed for the evening. The Gladiolus lilies arrived on time and were used to beautifully decorate the large estate courtyard. Their tall stems and sword-shaped leaves were arranged around the entrance, along the walkways, and around the main seating areas. The flowers were also placed on the tables, giving the courtyard the formal look the elders had requested. Additional decorations, including elegant tablecloths, lights, candles, and arrangements for the stage, were prepared throughout the estate. The catering had also been completed. Several chefs had been brought in to prepare a wide selection of meals for the guests, including different types of meat, seafood, salads, pastries, and desserts. The estate itself had been cleaned from top to bottom. The guest rooms were pre

The outskirts of the city of Terra had changed over the past year. What was once a ragged and rocky area was now well constructed. Buildings and reinforced structures had been added along the route, making the area look completely different from what it used to be. The path that went through the outskirts was now wider and well constructed, allowing people to travel through the area more easily. The high rocky terrains that were once filled with sniper soldiers were no longer there, most of those natural hiding spots had either been removed or changed as the city continued to develop. It was clear that Terra had put a lot of effort into making the outskirts safer and more accessible, but Mira didn’t seem impressed by the changes. She stood near the path, looking over the area with her arms folded. She took in the new structures and the cleaner roads before letting out a quiet sigh, “They’ve gone soft.” Her tone was blunt, almost disappointed. Jace approached her from behind and

Scofield family estate Meeting room The door opened and Michael stepped in. “Sure took your sweet time getting here…” Adrian said with a coy smile. Michael only smiled and looked away before taking a seat. He glanced at Barry, “You said you have some news?” Barry nodded and picked up the remote control for the huge monitor mounted on the wall. “Yeah, I got this one from Isaac. You’re not gonna believe it.” Michael leaned forward, giving Barry his full attention without saying anything. “Remember when the war with Mira first began and you had to meet a bunch of war experts to assist you with soldiers?” Barry asked. Michael nodded. “Yeah?” Barry pressed a button on the remote, bringing several documents onto the monitor. “Well, it turns out… Those experts have been working with the UCA for quite a while now. Supplying them with soldiers, gear, ammo, you name it.” Michael didn’t say anything for a moment, he leaned back slightly and rubbed his chin as he looked through the info
