"You had a bad idea trying to go against my orders, Awakened Keith," the Head Lord said, approaching Keith slowly."I never planned to confront your orders. My father's life is at stake, and if I don't get what I came here for, he is going to die," Keith said loudly yet politely, trying to convince the Head Lord. However, his clarification didn't seem to make any impression. The Head Lord was still as mad and serious as when he came out from his home."I don't care about what may happen to your commoner father. My orders must be obeyed no matter what!" Lord Asher said seriously. The harsh, dreading smirk on his face held a deep sense of rage, making Keith quite frightened.Upon hearing the Head Lord's cruel response, a thought flashed into Keith's mind.'Is he going to kill me?'The fact that the Head Lord had sent a blast of fireball capable of destroying a normal human made him believe his pondering. Visibly, Keith could sense an aura to kill around Lord Asher's presence."You just
Before reaching the Rotunda Family's fort, Keith bought some potions for the Lung Plague in one of the general markets in the White Province. The White Province was renowned for its best potions from medicine experts, so Keith preferred to get a cure for the Lung Plague from there.After purchasing some potions, he zoomed into the Eastern Territory in no time and arrived at the Rotunda Family's fort.Quickly, he entered the house and made his way to his father's room...Sage and the others were still there, and luckily, he didn't notice anything quite gut-wrenching when he glanced in the direction of his sick father.Awakened Keith Rotunda sighed."You got the medicine?" Skyla was the first to ask, fixing her gaze on Keith.Keith nodded positively, and seeing his response, everyone was really relieved. By looking at everyone's faces, Keith could feel it.He quickly approached his father and gave him some doses to take... At this moment, Ryder's sick state actually seemed to have gotte
Somewhere in the Rotunda Fort compound, about twenty lives could be seen standing around a cleared area, all eyes on a lifeless figure below. After the death of Ryder Rotunda, the family gathered to put him to rest. Every other family member came to pay their last respect to him, except for his wife and daughter. Although that wasn't really a part of their worry right now, the fact that their inferiority effect was at work made them more depressed. Due to being a poor, useless man... No influential or wealthy individuals attended the small funeral of Ryder Rotunda. Of course, he wasn't a part of the Awakeneds, he was a Commoner.Even though Keith was an Awakened, his ongoing conflict with the Head Lord had made many of the Awakeneds relent from attending his father's funeral. Most of the Awakeneds thought he was trying to betray the people, they didn't have a vision of what he was doing for the people of the Blue Planet. They were clueless, however, only a few were wise enough to
For quite a moment, Keith's heart skipped. What was worse than being accused of what you didn't do? Keith couldn't believe his eyes. Now he noticed he was summoned to the Head Lord's fort just because he was the suspected killer."Why would I do that?! I'm not a murderer!" Keith shouted in anger and confusion, not believing what was happening to him. He just lost his father days ago, and now he had to face this? How miserable. He summoned the courage he needed and got to the Head Lord's fort after some minutes only to see countless Awakeneds. Among these Awakeneds were counter-crime officers, Armies, and Warlords. The vast expanse of the Head Lord's fort was enveloped in moans of grief. Actually, no one expected that the great Head Lord would die at this stage. It was unbelievable. Just like the sudden demise of the Supreme Warlord. Just as he stepped in, countless outrageous stares were cast on him. It was as though a Specter just ran into his enemy's court, and in the sligh
"Err... Um... Uhh..."When Keith heard the question posed by the chief officer, he stammered horribly. Keith's level of shock and confusion was beyond words. He was clearly taken aback."Actually... Officer, I'm still a Bronze-rank Awakened." With eyes that looked like a chasm, Keith mustered the courage to speak. As the chief officer stared at him, he noticed the sense of astonishment and nervousness in Keith's eyes. Even if a six-year-old boy caught a glimpse of Keith's countenance at this moment, he would clearly notice the unease lurking around him.Although Keith knew that the two guards would have suspected him after his fierce attack against them, he just didn't expect that they would spread the news to someone else.Keith just didn't think much about these things because of his father's issue, and now that the Head Lord was dead, it could be an investigative factor.'Shit! I'm in trouble now.'Keith couldn't help but curse badly, slightly clenching his fist and teeth at the
The video display that just appeared in mid-air stunned all the attackers, making them furrow their eyebrows in astonishment, some eyes broadened. In the video, a masculine figure clad in a black robe and covered in a hood cap could be seen entering the Head Lord's inner chamber. It was as if this man had a shadow ability, or perhaps, an ability that could make him invincible.No one noticed his presence in the fort, and even the main guards in the Head Lord's chamber couldn't even track his steps, even with their Observation Talents!It was quite unbelievable, and the attackers who were watching the display thought this was a total joke! "No way! That guard dressed like a knight is now a Gold-rank Presence Detector, there is no way he couldn't notice the presence of that guy!""Faked video! This isn't true!""Whoa, that guy must be a Platinum-rank Awakened already!""So this guy killed Lord Asher?! I promise you, I'll make you drink my pee before eating my sh*t to your grave!"Seve
Keith had a strong iron fist pouncing on his lips, causing an excruciating pain in his mouth. It was as though a rock of about 200 pounds as suddenly fallen on his mouth, and he couldn't help but exclaim..."Arghh!"The pain he felt just couldn't be expressed with silence.The young man who seemed to be about nineteen to twenty years old was vibrating uncontrollably in anger. Even after launching that fierce punch in Keith's mouth, he wasn't still satisfied. With anger, he attempted to push Keith again, this time, he aimed for his chest, not minding if he could kill this young man. But thanks to Officer Oliver, before the angry young man could launch another punch, he held his hand and stopped him. However, what happened next actually shocked Keith and the officer. Instead of getting hold of the young man's hand, Officer Oliver was suddenly blown away due to the force of the punch. Although he managed to stop him from hitting Keith in the chest, he became the victim of the attack w
Keith was quiet and didn't say a word to the detection officer. Of course, he knew that not everyone in the Blue Planet attended the Postings, but at least the news should have been spreading, right?The detection officer stole confused glances at Keith, his face blank and cold. He was actually the detection officer who detected Keith's talent several months ago and clearly saw that he had no talent, now he was accused of killing the Head Lord? 'How?!'"Can we just begin the detection, please?" Brendon said from behind, his face still red and fierce. "As you wish, young master," the detection officer turned to Keith, "Come forward, young man."Keith let out a mute sigh and walked further to reach the talent detection machine by a meter gap. The talent detection machine looked exactly like a CPU device which had a screen on the surface. Close to the screen at the extreme bottom of the machine's surface, two fingerprint sensors could be seen. The screen covered all surface areas exce
