THE headquarters of the Akatasuna Guild in Ankhe City was a vast estate. It was privately owned by the House of Vaughn, one of the powerful aristocrats in Vatre.
The guild chamber was located underground because the place was always under the surveillance of the empire since they hated the insurgents’ guild.
“Holy shit! You owned this estate?” Jie was too shocked to learn this. He was staring at the huge family portrait mounted on the great hall. It was Ryker along with his parents. “And you are the sole heir!”
Ryker’s face darkened. “Nonsense! Continue walking.”
“How come this place is not raided?” Jie asked after he finished his tour of the entire estate. Ryker was always with him to prevent him from escaping, which Jie had no plans of doing.
Damien kept following them even though Ryker often showed disapproval of his presence, to which the former was unaffected. Jie was so

ANKHE City was so huge that Jie couldn’t check every place around the bottom layer within the day. They had to go back to Vaughn’s mansion since the charm was slowly wearing off.“I want to see the movement of people around here at night.” Jie insisted when Ryker was already mounted on his beast.“That's very risky. I should ask Winward to babysit you next time. I have a lot of important things to do, yet I am stuck here with you.” Ryker seemed filled with abhorrence.Jie exhaled sharply to control himself. Ryker’s tongue had always been sharp, and he better be careful not to trigger the assassin. What if Ryker suddenly decided to kill him?“Just teach me how to use the Imitation Charm, I can go on my own.” Jie pushed his luck to convince him.“No. Let's go home. You've already seen everything you need to see.”He jumped on his beast and followed Ryker. “Ho

THE force around the dungeon was so strong that even Ryker flew away. He had never imagined he’d seen Ethros this way. That he was capable of releasing this much energy without breaking his own body.“Calm down!” He tried to stop Ethros, but he could not go near him. It was the first time he witnessed such a kind of dark magic aside from their deputy chief. However, this one was raw and pure destruction.“If you don't control it, you'll annihilate the entire estate, and it will kill you!” Ryker kept warning, but Ethros seemed oblivious.“Snap out of it!” Ryker made several hand seals, creating a fire barrier to protect himself, when he realized that Ethros was already unstoppable.The dark clouds suddenly came to every orifice of Nahfu’s body. Then his flesh suddenly decayed until his skeleton remained. By the time the black smoke receded, the skeleton became brittle until it turned to ash.

THE Helios stormed off Vaughn’s estate with their disappointed faces. Ryker even accompanied them to the main gate. “I hope this will be the last you'll pry in my humble abode. Do I look that suspicious?” Ryker clicked his tongue. “By the way, whatever damages I have will be charged to you.” “My apologies, Lord Vaughn.” The red-haired soldier from earlier swallowed his pride when he got nothing despite checking every corner of the mansion. “I am a Vatrean aristocrat. Why would you doubt my allegiance to the empire?” Ryker lit a stick of cigarette. “We are going now. There must be some discrepancies with the report.” The soldier clenched his fists but kept his head up as he turned his back to the heir of the Vaughn Estate. He exhausted his magic earlier while searching, but he failed to find even the slightest evidence of his claim. Ryker sauntered back to the mansion while puffing smoke. He suddenly finds Damien at the entrance. “These lap dogs of the empire wouldn't let me

BEFORE the assassin could launch an attack. Izora shouted. “A portal led us here!” “A portal, you said?” The assassin took a deep breath. “How?” “Iridessa sent us here.” Kafle swiftly answered. He could still remember how this assassin knocked him down easily in just a split second. Knowing he couldn't fight him in his current condition, he questioned why all of the places they could be sent, but ended up here. “You’ve seen Iridessa?” The assassin seemed to doubt. “I didn't think she was the real deal. Only a few people know that the liberalist chief is a fae, and I'm one of them.” Kafle’s eyes were still fixed on the assassin's dagger. The usual cold face of the assassin seemed to soften. “My house is not an orphanage!” Kafle was confused, but he didn't say a word. Just in time, a huge shelf moved, and a doorway was shown. Two men came out. One of them was the person they'd been looking for. “Hey, Kafle?” “Ethros!” Izora ran toward him. “You’re alive!” “Grandma, it's
THE LOST GOD OF CHAOS Chapter 26 – Guild Meeting
JIE finally met several members of the Akatasuna Guild for the first time. Three guild officials attended, along with around twenty other members who were in Vatre during that time. He and Kafle were introduced to them; some were welcoming, while others seemed disappointed since they got into the guild easily. Unlike the normal members, they'd need to survive the life-and-death feats to be accepted. “This is the first time the guild has accepted honorary members,” said one of the guild members. A young woman named Krecia. She was a mage but was assigned to be a spy. Jie learned that she was the Intelligence Head. “The chief never gets wrong,” said the other. A middle-aged swordsman, Govi—the Raid Head Officer. Ryker was the one presiding over the meeting since he was the Ambassador of the Guild Council. They were inside the great hall underground, sitting on a long, rectangular table. “Our main agenda is to retrieve the child from the high mage’s tower. They cannot have the Luo
THE LOST GOD OF CHAOS Chapter 27 – Preparations
THE guild meeting ended abruptly. Krecia used her staff to create a circular projection to oversee what was going on outside. Everyone saw Commander Semme frantically searching inside the library. “He’s using mana detection…” Krecia muttered. “We'll see if he can find us.” “What if he does? That man is cruel! I have a score to settle with that bastard.” Ethros gritted his teeth. “If he finds us, then we'll kill him,” Uzzo said, as if it were not a big deal. Govi tilted his head in agreement. “Yes, that's the best choice. Even if it meant declaring war with that empire.” Everyone motioned their hands, and a circular blue energy danced in their palms, while Damien’s arm suddenly crawled with thorny vines with small white flowers. The other remaining members were positioned behind the guild officials as they drew their weapons out. “What are those?” Jie asked Kafle. “That's Aguanum, the basic defense for fire magic. I'll teach you that when I'm released from the impeding sha
THE LOST GOD OF CHAOS Chapter 28 – Banquet
THE rear palace was lively when the night of the banquet came. Royalties coming from the seven houses were invited. These were the influential families who had been great supporters of the empire. They were wealthy merchants and powerful wizards. Ryker represented the House of Vaughn. Although his name always stirred in the Vatre Empire, they could not ignore him since he had the highest magical orb produced. Those were essential for Ankhe City to thrive in comfortable weather. Even at a young age, he had shown everyone what he was capable of. As Ryker entered the rear palace, he immediately scanned every face present there. However, his companions couldn’t hide the excitement in their eyes—Bryce and Ethros, who were positioned behind him. Lucius was on his side, and Damien was on the other. He only kept a few so they wouldn’t attract attention, unlike other aristocrats, who had at least ten chaperones. “Behave yourselves.” Ryker reminded the two. “Apologies, my lord.” Bryce ra

AS A young man, Jie’s body reacted when the princess started tempting him. But he was old enough to restrain himself. He inhabited a seventeen-year-old body, and taking advantage of the situation could get him killed.Jie stayed focused and looked at the situation positively, letting the princess’ aggressive hands linger on his neck. He felt her warmth, yet he firmly stood his ground.“Tell me what you want, I’ll gladly give it to you.” She teased him even more.“I have questions,” he swallowed hard. Knowing the next words he’d say could alert her and get him decapitated.“Spill it!” She bit her lower lip.“Is it true that the high mage’s tower is impregnable?” He prayed that the princess would stay under the influence of alcohol.She paused. Jie’s heartbeat pounded, but he breathed in relief when Princess Tzeitel giggled.“Are you interested in the Luominen, too?”Jie cleared his throat. “I'm just curious.”“Don’t even think about it. Would you believe that even a royal like me is fo
