2023-11-18 08:14:40"What do you mean?" Allen stopped eating and asked, his face contorting with a frown.
Julius, appearing nonchalant, replied, "I mean that your engagement party will be held in three days."
"And this is all because of your insistence, isn't it?" Allen's question carried a hint of displeasure.
Julius felt the need to clarify, as it was Allen who had initially asked him to arrange an engagement with a girl from the Valeriant family.
If it weren't for his fear that Allen would rebel, he would have been too lazy to have anything to do with those damn parents from the Valeriant family.
Furthermore, the girl, being the child of a low-status wife, was not worthy of marrying his son, Allen, who was the main heir of the Frey family.
Hearing this, Allen sighed helplessly, not expecting his engagement party with Alice to happen so quickly.
However, he knew that this was the butterfly effect of his rebirth.
Soon, he continued eating nonchalantly and asked, "Can I cancel the engagement?"
He stole a glance at Julius, curious to see his reaction.
And sure enough, Julius' face immediately contorted into an expression of anger as he looked at Allen.
"What do you mean, Allen?" The surrounding aura changed so drastically that it sent shivers of fear through everyone present except Allen.
Irina, sitting beside Allen, couldn't help but cling to his arm, seeking reassurance.
However, facing this, Allen was not afraid; he maintained his composure and casually looked into Julius' eyes.
"Like I said, can I cancel the engagement?" His voice remained indifferent and seemingly ignorant, which only fueled Julius' anger.
"Bang!"
In a fit of rage, Julius slammed the table forcefully, pointing sharply at Allen.
"How can you say that?!" He asked angrily.
"Don't you know what will happen to the Frey family's reputation if you cancel the engagement suddenly?" His wrinkled forehead and glaring eyes at Allen were evidence that he was truly furious this time!
As the head of the Frey family, he had always been meticulous in upholding their good image, and this time, Allen had touched his scale!
Duke Valeriant's family was also a prominent and high-class family in the kingdom of Eldoria, holding equal status and power with the Frey family.
Considering that there were no other Duke families in the kingdom of Eldoria besides them, the relationship between the two families had always been quite amicable.
So, if he canceled Allen's engagement all of a sudden, he would be slapping the Valeriant family in the face!
Seeing Julius' intense reaction, Allen remained unfazed and calmly wiped his lips with a napkin.
"There's no need to go overboard like that." While casually wiping the corner of his lips, he spoke indifferently.
"I was just asking casually, why did you get like that?" Allen asked, his gaze cold and steady.
Observing Allen's casual reaction, Julius was taken aback, and the anger in his chest seemed to reach its boiling point.
"You!" However, he managed to exercise patience and restrain his words.
He knew that if he let his anger control him, he would undoubtedly lose this time.
Yes, he had lost to his son, Allen.
Right from the beginning, he sensed that Allen was leading him, which helped him keep his emotions in check.
As he woke up and encountered Allen in his workspace, he observed a significant and distinct change in his son.
Allen appeared to be an entirely different person.
Nevertheless, at that moment, he didn't give it much thought and dismissed it as a possible hallucination.
And now he couldn't shake the feeling of this unsettling change, which somehow instilled a sense of fear within him.
Taking a deep breath, he settled back into his dining chair.
"Like I said, it's impossible." Julius spoke calmly, closing his eyes as if the person who had been angry earlier was not him at all.
Allen admired Julius' mentality and couldn't help but smile, then he continued eating without answering him.
On the other hand, Larina, who witnessed this, couldn't help but be shocked as she saw Julius getting angry like that for the first time.
However, what surprised her even more was Allen, who seemed to be completely different.
"This kid..." She looked at Allen with a gaze full of vigilance.
Allen naturally felt Larina's gaze, but he didn't mind and continued eating quietly.
Lecia herself was very scared when her father scolded Allen, but what made her even more desperate was that her brother dared to stand up against her father, who was usually so different!
"Brother..." Lecia bit her lip and looked at Allen worriedly.
As they all had dinner, everyone had their own thoughts swirling in their minds.
...
After finishing the meal, Allen and Irina walked side by side towards her room.
"Brother..." Her voice rang with uncertainty in Allen's ears.
Hearing this, Allen looked at her with a gentle expression and asked, "Why so doubtful, little girl?"
Irina hesitated to ask what was on her mind, and instead, she hugged Allen's arm.
"It's okay, big brother."
"It's just that... I hope you'll always be like this with me, okay?" Her eyes held hope as she looked at Allen.
Allen was slightly surprised, but he gently stroked her hair and said, "Don't worry, I'll always be there for you, just as you wish."
He smiled warmly, but in his red eyes, there was an unusually strong sense of indifference.

Allen and Irina walked back to the room and finally arrived at Irina's bedroom. "Well, have a good rest, my little girl," Allen said with a warm smile as he affectionately rubbed Irina's head. Upon hearing this, Irina nodded and gently hugged Allen. "Thank you, big brother," she said with her eyes closed. "I hope you always stay healthy and well, because if you were to fall ill like yesterday, I wouldn't know how to live without you." Tears welled up in her eyes as she hugged Allen even tighter. Observing this, Allen's expression softened further, and he hugged Irina back, offering comfort. "Take it easy, my little girl, because I promise to always protect you. Of course I won't fall ill like yesterday," he reassured her in a soothing voice that seemed to bring a sense of security to Irina's heart. After a while, the two finally let go of their embrace.

Northern Forest "Woosh!" A shadowy figure leaped from one tree to another, moving with the swiftness of a strong gust of wind. Soon, the figure halted at a tree trunk and rested his hands on the bark while surveying the surroundings. "It should be here..." The figure removed its head hood, revealing a handsome white-haired teenager with blood-red eyes—none other than Allen Frey! He glanced down and spotted several black-colored wolves, each with a body twice the size of a horse! "There they are!" Without hesitation, he leaped down from the tree. As the tree was a towering twenty-five meters tall, he adjusted his body to fall headfirst with his legs upward, accelerating at an extraordinary speed! "Fire Magic: Fire Spear!" With a snap of his fingers, ten long fire spears materialized from the swirling air around him. Swiftly, he swung his hand towards the wolf pack and whispered, "Go!" In an instant, all ten spears were launched toward the black wolf pack at an incredibly high

Five hundred meters away from the ongoing monster battle, Allen floated in the air, meticulously surveying his surroundings. "Was my estimate wrong?" Allen furrowed his brow, starting to reconsider his assumptions. Considering the earlier behavior and disposition of the Grython snake, it seemed as though it prevented the bear from advancing, assuming a defensive stance. "However, what exactly is the snake protecting, and where?" He eventually descended to the ground, scanning the area, which was abundant with tall, lush vegetation. Instantly, he gasped in shock as he spotted a large hole concealed by lush leaves and flanked by two towering trees. "That's a cave?" Driven by curiosity, he activated his wind magic, causing himself to vanish from his previous location and reappear right at the entrance of the cave. "It's so well hidden!" He muttered, quickly realizing that the cave's concealed appearance was not a natural occurrence but seemed deliberately crafted, possibly by someo

"Alright, if that's what you want, I'll fight it!" He shouted with unwavering resolve. "Fire Magic: Fire Spears!" Allen snapped his fingers, conjuring twenty colossal fire spears that swirled around him. "Go ahead!" He commanded, and all twenty fire spears shot swiftly towards the Grython snake. "Sssshh!" The Grython snake, sensing the incoming attack, quickly coiled its body to defend itself. "Whooshh!" The twenty fire spears penetrated the snake's massive body, transforming into fiery explosions upon impact. "Boom!" The explosions from the twenty fire spears reverberated throughout the cave, sending black smoke billowing into the air. The acrid smell of burning flesh filled the surroundings. However, Allen, keenly aware of the situation, understood that this attack wouldn't be enough to kill the Grython snake! As expected, despite its body being burned and black blood oozing out, the snake swiftly returned to its original position, fixing its enraged gaze on Allen. "Whoosh
My Path of Revenge After Being Reborn as an Anti-Hero Seeking and Escaping
"Whoooshh!" Allen leaped swiftly from one tree to another, his face bearing a serious expression. "I never expected that the Grython I killed was merely a mid-level female snake!" Allen narrowed his eyes as he recalled the intense battle in the cave. The single horn he had seen earlier indicated that the snake was only an intermediate-level Grython! This occurred because he had failed to focus and pay attention to the snake's level! "Could it be that the thing being protected by the giant Grython, while fighting the crazy bear is actually the female snake?" He pondered for a moment and finally grasped why the Grython he had encountered didn't attack the mad bear. "No, no, the snake inside the cave is laying eggs, and the Grython outside is guarding it!" Allen gasped in shock as he reached this conclusion! Clearly, the Grythons had carefully chosen an extremely secluded nest to safeguard their soon-to-hatch eggs! "Damn! I killed the Grython in the cave; will the Grython that fou

Without delay, Allen quickly poured the monster's blood into his whole body. After completing this grim task, he cast an escape spell to conceal himself. "Wind Magic: Acceleration!" Instantly, his body vanished, blending into the dark night amidst the lush trees. No sooner had he hidden than the giant Grython snake suddenly slithered on the ground, its expression seeing things with hatred. "Ssshhht!" The Grython halted, scanning the surroundings with an observer's gaze. It sensed that the scent of monsters or people killing its females had come to a halt at this spot. "Shhht!" The Grython snake continued to search diligently but found no one. The surrounding scent was merely that of the usual low-level monsters. With no signs of the culprit in sight, the snake pressed forward, determined to find the one responsible for robbing the treasure and murdering its female companion. Meanwhile, Allen, holding his breath and concealing himself adeptly, peered through the gaps in the tr

"A high-level monster, Water Dragon!" he exclaimed in disbelief. As the name suggests, water dragons are high-level monsters that typically inhabit the deep ocean, and Allen never anticipated encountering one in a mere lake. "How could a water dragon be in a lake?" He pondered, his brow furrowing in confusion. Soon, a realization struck him, and he gasped in shock as a guess formed in his mind. "Could it be that there's something inside this lake responsible for this?" Allen speculated confidently, finding no other plausible explanation. Furthermore, the lake water itself had properties akin to a highly suspicious low-level potion. Otherwise, how could a lake give birth to a water dragon? As Allen contemplated, the water dragon fixed its gaze on him and unleashed a mighty roar. "Roaaarr!" The resounding roar was followed by a sudden uprising of water from the lake, which launched an attack towards him. "Water magic?" Allen gasped in shock and swiftly invoked a dodge spell. "

However, after waiting for a few minutes, nothing suspicious or monstrous emerged, and he heaved a sigh of relief. Nonetheless, this only fueled his curiosity further, and his desire to dive into the depths of the lake intensified. "It seems I must dive into this lake and discover what's hidden inside," Allen pondered, gradually descending a little closer to the surface of the calm waters. Immediately, he put his hands together and began chanting an incantation. "Water Magic: Water Protection!" Suddenly, the water in the lake lifted slightly, forming a bubble shield around him as if protecting him from all sides. Allen, seeing the bubble shield manifest, smiled slightly and then canceled his levitation magic, allowing himself to gently descend into the lake. Thanks

"What is all this?" As Allen stood there, he muttered to himself, utterly perplexed by the enigmatic scene before him. Completely speechless and overwhelmed, Allen marveled at the sight before him. First, he had encountered a vast hall with towering pillars, and now this massive altar with its eight mysterious statues heightened the sense of intrigue. "I can't help but wonder about the person who created this cave and placed the hall and altar here," Allen mused to himself as he cautiously walked deeper into the altar, his admiration growing. Having been a wizard in his previous life, he had never come across anything as astonishing as this. It was evident that the creator of all this must have been truly grand and remarkable. As Allen stepped deeper into the altar, he carefully observed every detail, particularly the seven colossal statues encircling the main altar, where the exquisite crystal table stood. The sheer size of the seven statues dwarfed Allen, making him feel tiny

Allen stood before the door, his eyes wide with disbelief and amazement. "It's incredible!" He was overwhelmed with awe, taking slow steps as he entered the room beyond. "Booms!" The door shut behind him, but he remained composed, undeterred. His attention quickly shifted ahead, revealing an immense hall with ten colossal pillars soaring towards the ceiling. He advanced slowly, his gaze carefully exploring the interior. "How could such a large and magnificent hall like this be hidden inside a cave?" Allen pondered, feeling a little perplexed. The scene before him defied all expectations, and he never imagined discovering such a vast hall concealed within a cave. "This hall is unbelievably large. Even the grandest halls in the kingdom of Eldoria can't compare," he whispered in awe, glancing around. The huge pillars, gleaming in bright white, appeared to be crafted from an exceedingly precious material. The floor appeared to be made of an unknown type of marble, leaving Allen

However, as he scrolled through the details, what he saw in the bottom column left him utterly surprised. "I can learn it!" he exclaimed in shock. He couldn't believe he had the option to learn it. "Only a fool would press the [No] column!" Without hesitation, he pressed [Yes], and the panel disappeared instantly. Suddenly, a swirling white light appeared before him, entering his head. "Ugh!" Allen winced, gripping his head in pain. After a few minutes, the discomfort eased, and he closed his eyes, trying to process the incredible and intricate information about the Ancient magic pattern. "Incredible! It's truly amazing!" Allen opened his eyes, and brilliance sparkled in his red irises. He was genuinely awestruck, feeling like he had just discovered an entirely new world! "It truly lives up to its reputation as Ancient magic! This surpasses my understanding, even as a Wizard in my previous life!" He exclaimed with awe, his heart racing. Gradually, he regained his composure a
Discovering the Broken Ancient Level Magic Pattern
Allen ventured into the pitch-black depths of the cave, where no light except for a few small fireflies illuminated the surroundings. "It's really very dark," Allen silently pondered. Then he opened his palm, revealing a pearl of light emitting a brilliant blue glow, which illuminated the path ahead. "This is better." He nodded, feeling more at ease with the added light, and continued walking deeper into the cave. Along the way, he didn't encounter anything particularly special or extraordinary, only rocks and some vegetation growing on the cave's edge. "Strange, how can this cave look so ordinary, and I don't even find anything remarkable?" Allen mused, lowering his head in thought. However, he suddenly sensed something in the forward direction that caught his attention, prompting him to quicken his pace until he reached the end of the cave. Curiously, he focused the pearl of light in his hand forward and discovered a large door adorned with golden patterns on each side. "Wha
