The taxi eventually came to a stop at a junction, prompting Linda to guide them along a narrow bush path until they reached their destination. To Victor's surprise, standing before them was a lavish villa that exceeded his expectations.Overwhelmed by surprise, Victor asked, "Is this where you live?"Linda responded with a cheerful smile, confirming, "Yes, indeed!"Victor's confusion manifested in his words, "But you! Then why?" The precise question eluded him as uncertainty clouded his thoughts.Linda, sensing his bewilderment, offered a cryptic response, "It's a long story. I will explain later," guiding them into the house with an air of mystery.As they entered the house, it was empty so Linda led them through its corridors until they reached the garage. Within its confines, an elderly man diligently tinkered with various items, completely engrossed in his work.If Victor had not seen a picture of the elderly man previously, stepping into this scenario for the first time might h
Upon absorbing the narrative, Victor directed his gaze towards the mysterious mask, taking a thoughtful pause before raising his eyes to meet Samuel's. Inquisitively, he questioned, "Are you suggesting that this mask is crafted from an actual human face?"In response, Samuel affirmed with a nod, "Indeed!"Victor pondered for a brief moment, his thoughts weaving through the intricacies of the tale, before asking further,"Does this imply that the supreme god denied Magnus the justice he sought?"Samuel answered, "He got the justice he sought. The supreme God made him reincarnated and blessed him with the ability to reincarnate for a lifetime." "And for every life he was reincarnated into, he had been looking for the mask till now. I'm sure once he gets the mask,he will regain all his powers and the consequences will be a bloody war with the gods.""So right now, the mask being in anybody's possession will put the person in danger because the other gods are looking to get their hands
After concluding his business at Samuel's residence, Victor concealed his identity once more behind the mask, regaining the previous face he employed for discretion. Accompanied by Malik and Michael, they returned to the hotel to unwind.As dawn broke the following day, they departed from the hotel with a specific destination in Victor's sights—the residence of none other than Jonathan Wilston or rather the Wilston family.This was the very individual to whom Victor had encountered previously, and gave the dragon cauldron to as a gift during the auction.(NOTE: TO REFRESH YOUR MEMORY, THIS HAPPENED IN CHAPTER 51)"Hmmm, Malik, we are going to see an acquaintance. I'm not hundred percent sure yet but I think they might be involved in medicine. But like I said, I'm not sure, just a gut feeling." Victor said."Malik, we're on our way to meet someone, an acquaintance of sorts," Victor mused thoughtfully. "I can't be certain, but I have this intuition that they might have connections to t
"I am Garvin, serving as the head of the security guards and chief guardian for the esteemed Wilston family," declared the commanding figure who led the men that surrounded Victor, Michael, and Malik. He strode ahead, the trio trailing behind, until he halted abruptly. Raising his hand, Garvin gestured and executed a series of signals. In an instant, the panoramic view for Victor, Malik, and Michael underwent a dramatic transformation.Gone were the towering mountains and dense bushes that previously filled their view. In their place stood an expansive compound adorned with distinct villas, each exuding an ancient ambiance that added a unique character to the surroundings. It was as if they were transported to a different era.Infacr, the Wilston family functioned as a self contained community, and as Garvin, the head of the Wilston family's guards, guided Victor, Michael, and Malik through the vast Wilston family compound, he took the chance to show and acquaint them with various ar
"Indeed, he's not dumb," remarked Jonathan. He paused briefly before delving further into the matter, explaining,"Yet, his inability to speak seems to be rooted in psychological challenges. It's likely that some stimuli connected to his past experiences might serve as a catalyst for him to verbalize. The specifics remain uncertain, though."Victor acknowledged the information with a nod, expressing his gratitude, "Alright, thank you for shedding light on this."Jonathan expressed regret, stating, "I apologize for not being able to assist you with any of your requests."In response, Victor responded with a reassuring smile and said, "No worries, it's perfectly fine."Jonathan expressed his commitment, "I will ngage in a conversation with the elders, attempting to persuade them to allow your friend to learn pill making and traditional medicine.""Thank you. By the way, you mentioned your former leader is still alive. How did you come by this information since you haven't seen her in a
A hush fell over the meeting hall as all eyes focused on Jonathan. The anticipation lingered before he addressed the assembly, pondering aloud, "Do you think he should try if he could inherit it?"The one eyed elder took a thoughtful pause before voicing his reservations, "He doesn't share our lineage. It contradicts our longstanding traditions."In response, Jonathan interjected, offering a counterpoint, "The previous leader wasn't a Wilston by birth, yet her influence is the cornerstone of our current knowledge. Without her, the Wilston family was just a struggling traditional medical family."The one eyed elder lapsed into thoughtful silence before breaking it after a minute, asking, "To what extent are you acquainted with his influence?"Jonathan furrowed his brow, reflecting on the matter. "It's hard to gauge precisely, but during the auction, his two companions were very young and both were at the peak of the Noble realm, displayed a clear hierarchy with him.""Their actions ind
Victor drew in a profound breath, affirming his consent with a nod. The swift pace of preparations for the ceremony caught Malik and Michael off guard, yet not entirely unexpected. The duo found themselves taken aback by this sudden turn of events, but deep down, they acknowledged that Victor's exceptional nature and innate ability to command attention and dominate were ever present, ensuring his influence wherever he ventured.The ceremony unfolded with simplicity, progressing seamlessly. Following its conclusion, Victor convened a meeting with Jonathan and the respected elders.In addressing the assembly, Victor articulated, "Primarily, I wish to clarify my reluctance to assume the role of the Wilston family head. Although I may hold the position nominally, I am committed to entrusting Jonathan with the overarching responsibilities.""He will retain authority over day to day matters, exercising decision making autonomy, except in cases of utmost significance."Jonathan found himsel
Victor and Malik swiftly refreshed themselves before making their way to an upscale boutique to acquire some luxurious clothing.Exiting the boutique, as they prepared to hail a taxi, a black car abruptly pulled up in front of them, halting with a screech. Emerging from the vehicle was none other than Linda, the daughter of Samuel.Victor clearly surprised to see her here immediately, "What are you doing here?"Linda's smile widened in response, and she shared, "I had a hunch that you were planning to make an unexpected entrance at the Lois family's gathering. Naturally, I wanted to be a part of the festivities."Victor, feigning innocence, narrowed his eyes and played dumb, saying, "I have no idea what you're referring to. Michael and I are just here for some casual shopping."Linda deftly seized the invitation from Victor's pocket, a swift movement that caught him off guard, revealing his lack of anticipation. Her hands moved with a purpose, extracting the card with nimble precisio
