Peak Of Glory

2

An evil smile appeared on Lucy's face. It was the last face Jasper saw before he died.

Jasper's vision began to fade, replaced by a dense darkness.

"Is this the realm of death?"

"Jasper."

A voice broke the silence. The voice was deep and commanding.

"Who are you?"

Jasper did not see anyone else in this place. However, the voice sounded as if it was right next to his ear.

"I am Fasan, having traded my eternal life for yours. You can't die like this again, no way!"

Despite not being able to feel his body, Jasper tried to shake his head. Even though he was dead, he could still feel sadness. "Don't do this. I want to join my family in the afterlife."

"Too late. The contract has already been made. You can only fulfill it. Goodbye."

The pain that had disappeared earlier slowly returned. Jasper slowly opened his eyes. The blinding lamplight made Jasper close his eyes again.

A soft voice full of concern sounded in Jasper's ears. It was like someone gently touching his hand.

"Jasper, are you awake? My Son?"

A stream of knowledge began to fill Jasper's mind.

A young man named Jasper Anderson, the son of the elders of the Anderson family who lived in the Pine Forest City. He was born a genius until the age of eight.

Jasper's strength began to decline when he was eight years old. Now he is eleven years old, and his strength is not like that of a cultivator of the same age. His body is very weak.

This is the Dragon Continent, one of the continents in the Ancient Realm. The Dragon Continent is divided into three empires. The first is the Ice Dragon Empire, the second is the Flame Dragon Empire, and the last is the Flood Dragon Empire. Pine Forest City is a small town in the Flood Dragon Empire.

In the ancient realm, there were several continents, and the Dragon Continent was one of the weakest.

"Jasper." The voice woke up Jasper.

Jasper opened his eyes and saw the woman named Emma Voss. She was the mother of the previous body owner.

Emma had a beautiful face and a soft voice. Her eyes were swollen, as if she had been crying for a long time.

Jasper was silent for a few seconds, remembering the events that had happened to the previous body owner.

Gustav Anderson, one of the children of the elders of the Anderson family, had severely beaten him. Jasper died, but a moment later, Jasper Hain soul from the Great Land entered Jasper Anderson body instead.

From now on, he would have to accept life as Jasper Andersom.

Seeing the worry on Emma face, Jasper felt warmth creep into his heart.

"Mom."

Jasper's voice was very hoarse. He tried to move, but his whole body felt chaotic.

"Don't move. Please don't move."

Jasper could have endured this pain and forced himself to move. But seeing Emma so worried, he couldn't bear it. Now he could only nod.

The door to Jasper's room opened, and a man appeared and hurriedly walked over to them.

"My Son."

He was Victor , Jasper's father. Normally, he would be very fierce, but this time, he looked very worried.

Victor handed a box to Emma. "This is a ninth class healing pill. The Patriarch gave it to me."

Emma took the box and opened it. A strong medicinal scent immediately wafted out. Inside the box was a single dark brown pill. It was a ninth class healing pill.

Emma took the pill and gave it to Jasper. Emma gently let Internal energy flow to help Jasper absorb the medicine.

A warm energy crept into his chest. The pain all over Jasper's body began to fade.

Seeing that her son's face was no longer pale, Emma gently pulled his hand.

"Can you move?"

Jasper nodded. "It doesn't hurt anymore, Mom."

The worry on Emma's face vanished, replaced by a feeling of gratitude. Her son had almost died, and to see him well filled her heart with warm waves.

"Patriak is waiting for us." Victor's voice resounded. "He wants you to come punish Gustav."

Jasper's eyes flashed a cold look. Although in his previous life he was not a person who liked revenge, but Lucy betrayal made him become like a different person.

Jasper raised his face, asking Victor. "Patriarch wants me to punish Gustav?"

Victor snorted, looking at his son sharply. "Hurry up and get up, don't make patriarch wait long."

Jasper nodded and got out of bed. When Emmw wanted to follow them, Jasper said softly. "Mom, I'll be fine with Dad. Don't worry, okay?"

Emmw did not answer, but looked at Victor.

Victor nodded. "I'm with him. No one can oppress him."

Hearing Victor's answer, Emma nodded. She had to believe Victor's words.

After that, Jasper went with Victor towards the punishment room.

The Anderson family residence was vast, like a village within Pine Forest city. Victor's was the elder of the Anderson family, so he got a house close to an important place in the Anderson family residence.

People's gazes rained down on Jasper when they saw that the young man was fine.

"Last night Gustav beat him up critically, I didn't expect Jasper to regain consciousness so soon."

"His father is a respected elder. Patriak must have given him good medicine."

"I heard that Patriak gave a ninth-class healing pill."

"What's a ninth-class healing pill?"

"Patriak is really committing extravagance."

"Just for the sake of that trash, Patriak went as far as to bring out a rare medicine."

Jasper was used to hearing insults and diatribes, so he no longer felt hurt. But a cold aura emanated from Victor's body. The Anderson family youths who were gossiping shut up instantly when they felt Victor's cold aura.

When they had walked far enough, Victor still continued walking but he began to speak. "People used to consider you an invincible genius in Pine Forest City. However, now they consider you useless trash. Are you going to keep quiet?"

Jasper who was walking behind Victor shook his head firmly. "I will train hard, won't let them look down on me again in the future."

Victor was shocked. The Jasper he knew would feel fear when talking to him. He stopped his steps, to find his son's face filled with determination.

"Good." Victor turned around and walked. "I hope you can realize that."

Not long after, they had arrived at the punishment area. It was a field filled with sharp gravel. There was a boy kneeling in the middle of the field. Sweat had already made his clothes wet.

A man looked at Victor and Jasper then said in an unhappy tone. "Seventh elder, why are you walking for so long? Look at that, my son has been kneeling all day because of you."
