Chapter 486
A ripple of disbelief surged through the Haldens. Edmund’s shoulders sagged in relief, Lucian exhaled shakily, and Geneva clenched her jaw, hating the fact that their survival depended on Aurora kneeling before a stranger.Elijah then looked down at her again, his eyes cool but steady.“Stand up.”The words hit the family harder than any strike Shank had taken. Elijah wasn’t just sparing them — he was acknowledging Aurora’s plea.But no one dared celebrate.Aurora lifted her head slowly, relief softening her usually sharp features as she whispered a shaky, “Thank you,” before rising to her feet. But instead of stepping back to join her family, she stayed right in front of Elijah, eyes fixed on him with a stubborn, burning determination.She took a small breath and said, “Since you agreed to spare them… then please, become my master.”Elijah blinked once, unimpressed. “No.”Aurora didn’t move. “Please. I’m serious. I want to learn from you.”“I said no,” Elijah replied, turning slightl

Gasps erupted. Aurora’s face lost all color. Elder Edmund stumbled backward. Lucian dropped his blade. Even Dorian’s knees weakened.Aurora’s lips parted slightly— “…Elijah… w-what are you saying?” He finally looked at her.A cold, unbothered, almost amused expression.“I ignored your questions because they don’t matter.”He stepped forward, and every Halden flinched.“What matters now…” He raised his hand slightly— Not attacking, yet the entire courtyard shuddered like the air itself feared him.“…is whether I erase your family from Iron Vale tonight.”The Halden estate plunged into dead silence.Fear swallowed every single person alive.Aurora—who moments ago had been demanding answers couldn’t speak, couldn’t breathe.Elder Edmund stared at Elijah with a tight, cold face that could no longer hide the tremor beneath it. The courtyard was silent enough to hear the wind scrape across the stones, every member of the Halden family frozen in a mixture of disbelief and dread after watchin

Elijah narrowed his eyes.He felt the pressure — real pressure.He could tell instantly:“If I go easy… I might actually die.”Not because Shank was stronger — but because 100% of a Grandmaster’s killing intent would crush any careless opponent.Elijah rolled his shoulders lightly.“So he’s really serious…” he muttered.He planted his feet more firmly, his calm aura beginning to rise quietly.Not loud. Not violent. But focused. Dense. Controlled.Elijah inhaled once. And made his decision:“Fine. I’ll use… thirty to fourty percent.”Even saying that shocked the Halden who overheard him.Forty? Fifty? To face a full-power Grandmaster?Shank didn’t hear him clearly — but he sensed Elijah’s energy shift.His pupils contracted.Elijah’s aura began to push back against the crushing pressure, creating a small clean space around him — as if the world itself adjusted to his presence.Shank suddenly vanished.The ground where he had stood cracked open, dust exploding outward.He reappeared rig

Chapter 483Aurora's heart sank in her chest. Lucian's legs trembled.Geneva covered her mouth. Edmund felt a shiver climb his spine. Even Shank's pupils tightened for a split second.Elijah stood there, calm, relaxed, yet threatening to annihilate an entire legacy as if stating the weather.His voice dropped lower-dead serious. "Tell me, Halden family..."A faint smirk tugged at the corner of his lips. "...should I continue being shy?”Elder Edmund snapped out of his shock first-rage and humiliation flooding his old eyes. Elijah's words echoed across the courtyard.Edmund's jaw clenched. His cane struck the ground with a loud CRACK."SHANK!" he roared, voice trembling with fury. "Kill him. NOW!"The order thundered through the compound.Shank Thorian did not hesitate.A terrifying grin spread across his face-one that showed exactly why he was feared."As you command," he said, stepping forward.The ground beneath his feet cracked from the weight of his spiritual force.Wind spiraled
Chapter 482
Dorian and his wife stared at their daughter—unable to believe she was defending someone who had just massacred their guards.Even the other people looked confused.But the most stunned person…was Elijah.His eyes narrowed slightly, not mocking this time, but genuinely surprised.He didn’t expect Aurora, proud, fierce, never-bow-to-anyone Aurora, to speak up for him— especially not in front of her entire family… and a Grandmaster.A small smile tugged at the corner of his lips.Shank Thorian raised a brow mildly, glancing at Aurora.“You want me to let him go,” he said slowly, “because he spared you?”Aurora stayed steady.“Yes.”Elder Edmund snapped immediately:“Aurora! This is not your decision. He killed our men! We cannot let him leave alive!”“But he also spared me, Grandpa!” Aurora shot back.“He’s reckless, arrogant and stupid—but he isn’t a senseless murderer. That must mean something.”Geneva exploded before anyone else could speak.“Aurora Halden!” she barked, storming tow
Chapter 481
Elijah just took a look at the grandmaster. A thick black combat coat reinforced with dark metal threading, sleeveless to reveal his battle-hardened arms.Traditional Obsidian Gauntlets, rumored to be unbreakable, fitted over his forearms.Heavy black boots that left small cracks in the ground when he landed.Around his waist, a wide crimson belt embroidered with symbols of the Grandmasters’ Order.And behind him…his presence alone warped the air, making it ripple like heat over molten metal.He turned his gaze toward Elijah, and the wind itself seemed to hold its breath.Elder Edmund stepped forward immediately, straightening his robe and forcing a respectful, relieved smile onto his face. The ground still trembled faintly from Shank Thorian’s arrival, but Edmund walked with confidence.When he reached the towering Grandmaster, he placed a hand over his chest and bowed slightly.“Grandmaster Shank,” Edmund said, voice full of reverence.“It has truly been a long time.”Shank’s cold
