“This family had no relationship with him, in fact, I am hundred percent sure that they have never met before,” Lan heard as the woman appeared beside her and they continued to walk away from the house.“I thought as much,” Lan replied dully.“Do you plan to continue to investigate him?”Lan furrowed his brows and scratched the skin in the middle of his brows. “I simply find him intriguing. He was a nobody one day and all of a sudden, he had to turn to something of interest, what makes me want to find more about it is how he makes it open while keeping secrets.”“He borrowed some money from Young Lord Ashton, I wonder if he wanted to start freeloading off him.”“He invested in a trader who was at the edge of quitting, he bought everything he was selling because the trader insisted that he can't continue to sell because he would go bankrupt. After the trade was done, he put the man in charge of it and within a week of this investment, the rate of the goods picked up because of scarcity

It seemed almost impossible…no, it was quite impossible.“No matter what truck he was supposed to be up to, there was no way he would be able to beat down twelve men who would be channeling their mana into their swords and using it to fight him.”“Even if he was capable, he couldn't possibly be that capable,”“What capability? From what I have seen, he is one of the young masters playing hero, he probably has never set foot outside of Astrad.”“Then, I like it like that. When they are done with him, it would teach him never to breach his space.”Ashton could hear the murmur and so could Elaris but while Ashton pressed his lips thinly because of the thin despair he felt over the situation, the subject of the matter remained standing in a position that showed that he was truly relaxed.Lan and Tarex knew that he was up to something but they couldn't point on it exactly, after all, he could be walking through fire and he wouldn't be freaked, the biggest mistake they wouldn't ever date ag

The best place he could think of to get away from the buzz at the hall was the tavern.Dark, warm and quiet, the interior of the tent was blocked away from the outside light and they could only hear the buzz outside faintly.After ordering some alcoholic drink, he sat to the side and decided to drown himself in his own sorrow.What else could he do? He couldn't even do anything to Elaris if he tried, not with the way Lord Rades stuck to him and talked for eternity.He didn't miss the way Ashton was always hanging around as if he was some sort of protector, there was also this admiration that he didn't see often in his brother’s eyes.Tarex sighed and gulped the rest of the liquid in the cup, scrunching his face as he let it down, this type of sharp alcohol was not anywhere in Astrad and he didn't think that it would be available in ten years or so.Maybe it was from another city but it was sure that you would find anything you wanted in Embrayl, that was just the way it was.Even till

Tarex shook his head and almost smacked himself too. He had gone through great effort to come here, he had to wait outside for who knows how many hours definitely not to chicken out when it was time to achieve what he wanted.His father would be proud of him, Lan and Lania would be amazed at what he could do, those people at Genius Circle would also know to keep their mouth shut to themselves when he put them in their place.He could stick with using moves, it wasn't like Elaris could channel energy either, what he had always used to push him down were the moves that he knew.“Then that is something that I can do.” The man nodded in the fire tion of the men and one of them went to the stack of paper that was beside him and took one.He came to Tarex and placed the paper on the black table in front of him before he went back to his post, Tarex leaned forward and read the content of the paper.THIS IS A PROOF OF AGREEMENT THAT ___________ OF ____________ HAD A DEAL WITH THE MAN THAT GRA

“I quite understand why we aren't going with them to the branch because we should keep our identity hidden but why do you have to put both me and Oliver in the same room?” Ashton asked and Elaris scoffed at amusement, Oliver also scoffed in irritation too.“You make it sound like I wanted to be in the same space as you,” Oliver shot back and everyone of them turned to continue watching the entrance, expecting the members of the hall to enter the hall after a successful raid. “But there's nothing you can do about it because the room is my good luck charm, you wouldn't believe the amount of copper coins I have found since the time I started staying in the room, maybe I would fully immerse myself in it and let the luck rub on me.”“I knew that you had no noble intentions of staying in there, why on earth would you pick copper coins?” Ashton unraveled his fan and covered half of his face with it and once again Oliver tutted in irritation.“Maybe because not all of us are the son of city l
