Luke stared at the amethyst for a moment. Despite the passage of thousands of years, there was still an enormous amount of World Energy in it. To be honest, he was tempted to absorb some of it, but he could not bring himself to do more than think about it. The Great Amethyst Empire had been forced to use a special mechanism to seal whatever was inside, and they had clearly intended to keep it there for all eternity. If even the most powerful force in the history of mankind could not wipe it out, there was no doubt that if the seal was broken, a disaster capable of wiping out the Aurora Continent would occur.Luke calmed down and pushed all these worries to the back of his mind. There was no point in worrying about it now, in his current state it was impossible for him to do anything anyway. Right now, all he had to do was to get out of this place before the magical beasts came.There was nothing else at the bottom of the lake that could interest him, so without wasting any more time,

Seeing that Aaron was asking for his drink, Luke was more than happy to serve him. Turning his back to him to get it from the tray, he manipulated an undetectable amount of World Energy with which he made the jar with Weeping Smile appear in his hand.Luke was not in the least interested in giving him a pleasant death, he just wanted to be sure that Aaron would die. So he had no qualms about pouring the entire contents of the jar into his drink. It was a dose that not even the nine lives of a cat could withstand. "Young Master Aaron, here is your Ice Dragon Flame." Luke carefully placed the drink in front of him. Keeping up his act, he asked, "Can the other young masters tell me what your drink is?"Aaron's acquaintances chaotically ordered their respective drinks. It was clear that the alcohol had gone to their heads and they could not control their actions. Nevertheless, Luke remained in character and patiently served each of them. This was one of the reasons he had left the assas

Aaron Rockwell was dead. A direct descendant of the Rockwell Family had been murdered at the Ice Sky Tavern.Although he had already been prepared for the worst when Elder Zak had contacted him to inform him of the situation, the Carlisle Family Patriarch couldn't help but age a few years when he heard those words.He couldn't remember how many years it had been since the last time a direct descendant of the great families was murdered within the walls of Ludwit City. No matter what, it was already bad enough.But Aaron's murder made it worse. The Rockwell Family was in the process of choosing a new patriarch, so this made the situation even worse. He really wanted to burn Aaron's body and make it disappear so he wouldn't have to deal with this mess, but that was nothing more than a dream. Even if he got rid of all the witnesses, they would still find a way to find out what had happened. Doing something like that would only make things worse.The facts were that he had been murdered

This was the most hectic night Ludwit City had seen in many years. At first, the ordinary citizens were terrified to see the Rockwell Family and Carlisle Family forces deployed throughout the city.The first thing they thought of was a magical beast attack, but they soon dismissed that theory. It didn't make sense that the forces of the City Lord and the other families wouldn't be present if that was the case.The next thing they thought of was that the Rockwell Family and the Carlisle Family had joined forces to rebel. This theory sent shivers down many people's spines. During the attacks of the magical beasts, all of Ludwit City would unite and send those who could not fight to safe areas away from the danger of the battlefield.However, if there was an internal conflict between the great families, the situation would be completely different. The entire Ludwit City would become a battlefield, and there would be nowhere safe for them. In that case, the only option would be to leave L

Luke smiled at Adam's reaction. He knew exactly what he was thinking, but he couldn't have been more wrong about his intentions. Luckily he couldn't see his face thanks to the mask, otherwise he would have thought he was crazy."Relax kid, I didn't come here to hurt you, why would I come to take away something I decided to give you myself? I'm not old enough to forget my own actions." Seeing the look of confusion on Adam's face, he continued. "Did you really think I would drop a spell book out of carelessness? You're still innocent, boy."Hearing these words, Adam backed away even further, his back, covered in cold sweat, colliding with the end of the alley. He was more afraid than he had been a while ago. He didn't understand why someone so mysterious was interested in him. "Why are you doing this? I'm just an illegitimate son at the bottom of the Rockwell Family pyramid, I'm worth nothing. If you're planning on using me in some demonic ceremony, don't even think about it, I'd rathe
