Every other month, they would have a family meal together, and on this occasion, when Arthur wasn't at home, Diana felt the need to speak up.

She looked towards her father, her brows slightly furrowed, and said, "Where has Arthur gone this time, and why hasn't he returned yet?"

Mr. Hastings understood his daughter's concerns.

He sighed a bit but remained silent.

However, it seemed to provoke Diana's anger further.

She stood up, her voice trembling with anger and a hint of resentment, "Dad, don't you think you're favoring him too much? From your father to his son, you clearly show favoritism. Do you even see your other children in your eyes?"

Mr. Hastings furrowed his brows, about to speak, but a voice interrupted, "If Grandpa doesn't consider Aunt as his own daughter, Aunt wouldn't be standing here."

The owner of this voice was familiar to everyone.

Ron and Ivan immediately straightened up instinctively, while Eslite remained relatively calm.

Despite her loud words, Diana only da

    Arthur also didn't care about what was happening in the hall. He strode along the long corridor, finally stopping in front of a door. He looked at Lance and said, "Take Michael and arrange accommodation for him. Starting tomorrow, begin briefing him on various tasks."Lance immediately nodded and replied, "I understand, Master."Arthur turned his gaze back to Lance, smiling, "Continue to maintain this loyalty in front of everyone; you're doing very well."Upon hearing this, Michael felt extremely pleased, his lips wanting to curve into a smile, but he restrained himself.He adopted a courteous and refined demeanor, slightly bowed, and spoke in a gentle tone, "I understand, Master."Arthur didn't say anything more and took Aurelius into the room. The room was simply decorated, yet it exuded an air of luxury, and there was a distinct, timeless feel. Many items displayed on the shelves were ancient books or peculiar-looking antiques.Aurelius jumped out of Arthur's embrace and floate

    While there were suspicions of being disliked by the three cat spirits, Mr. Hastings seemed not to pay much attention. He sat down on the chair next to them, then smiled and said, "I know you're not ordinary cats. Nothing is ordinary around Arthur. Alright, now speak up, and let's have a conversation."The three Thlu spirits remained silent. It seemed like three quacks echoed in the room, clearly indicating a magical atmosphere at this moment.Mr. Hastings finally didn't say anything more and just sat still, waiting for Arthur to come out.Arthur changed clothes quickly, and he walked out of the dressing room in no time. At this point, he was wearing a beautiful long silk pajama set, adding a touch of charm to his extraordinary appearance. He lazily yawned and then looked at his grandfather, saying, "Alright, what do you want to talk about?"Mr. Hastings stood up and sat across from Arthur, conveniently asking, "First, can you tell me what those cats are?"Arthur glanced at the th

    The arena is not far from Arthur's room. It is an underground area connected to various different passages. They can enter from many entrances as long as they have Brand's permission.This is probably also a tactical layout of some kind.Crimson sits on Arthur's shoulder, red eyes assessing everywhere: "The architecture here is not bad, and the materials are also good. Perhaps it can withstand some attacks from violent monsters when Elemental Energy revives."Upon hearing this, Arthur can't help but smile a little: "Then maybe I should renovate this place. Otherwise, we will all end up flattened under the feet of undead beasts."Crimson snorts coldly, feeling that only Arthur would be flattened. A powerful Thlu-like like itself can certainly escape.Even though it thinks so, Crimson still holds back and doesn't speak.Lance follows behind Arthur, silent without saying a word.They quickly arrive at their destination. The arena itself is not structurally complex, simply a vast flat sp

    Arthur also had no intention of killing the young man; he had obtained what he needed. He stroked Crimson and said in a low voice, "Crimson, retract your flames." Crimson ran his fingers along his lips and then blew, extinguishing the flames that surrounded and burned the young man.By now, the young man was lying on the ground, his chest heaving wildly, smoke rising from his body, and several burns evident. However, it did not affect his life. The young man took a deep breath and then suppressed the pain to say, "Arthur, I truly apologize. Thank you for forgiving me. I will never do such a thing again..."Arthur paid no attention to him, waving his hand as Lance immediately stepped forward, carrying the young man away. From today on, he would not be able to appear in the arena again. His parents should also be concerned about their own careers for harboring such misguided thoughts.Arthur sat down on a nearby chair, smiling at Ivan. "Ivan, it seems you have quite an influence.

    Arthur heard Case's question and couldn't help but furrow his brow slightly. If Case had returned to headquarters and credited Arthur's achievements in the secret list of the organization, he should have known Arthur's identity by now. Instead of answering Case directly, Arthur asked in return, "Did you just return to headquarters today?"Upon hearing this, Case seemed a bit surprised, then nodded and replied, "Yes, just returned and had some matters to attend to, so I delayed until now."Arthur smiled, saying, "Alright, you'll find out soon enough why I'm here."Case, with a slightly narrowed brow, appeared even colder and more formidable. Others, sensing the tension, discreetly kept their distance. Arthur, however, remained unfazed, smiling and suggesting, "Shall we go in?"Case, still with a furrowed brow, slowly followed Arthur inside. As they reached their seats, Arthur noticed that Case's seat was comparable to those of the four grand generals and the Minister of Defense, c

    Many people gazed at Arthur with astonishment in their eyes as if incredulous about why he suddenly started talking to a cat. At that moment, the cat leaped into the air and hovered there.Not stopping there, the cat suddenly spun around, enveloped in a stream of light. As the light dissipated, the cat now had a pair of wings sprouting from its back. A single horn emerged on its forehead, sharp and shining under the light.The cat, or rather, it was no longer just a cat but a creature beyond imagination. The creature suddenly opened its mouth and breathed out fire. The flames didn't reach anyone, but the heat was enough to furrow the brows of those below.It was clearly just a flame, so how could it be hot enough for people sitting far away to feel it? After a series of graceful movements, fire-spewing, and wing flapping, the creature floated in mid-air.Its eyes narrowed as it glanced at everyone in the hall. It ran a hand along its whiskers, laughing casually, saying, "Alrigh

    Arthur slowly savored his meal, and at this moment, the general assembly was still ongoing. However, this was a meeting on a smaller scale, a gathering of the most influential figures.In the dimly lit room, only a single light illuminated the center of the round table, enough to cast light on the faces of everyone present. Seated around the round table were five individuals, namely the chairman of the assembly - Robert; the northern frontier commander - Case; the eastern frontier commander - Stall; and the western frontier commander - Joel. And the last person, the southern border defender - Riert.They sat in the middle of the table, discussing the final decisions of the meeting. Robert spoke in a deep voice, "I feel that Arthur's proposal is the safest. If no one has objections, the assembly will contact Arthur today."Stall furrowed his brow slightly, saying, "I just feel he's a bit too much. Faced with such a great danger, he should have sacrificed everything for the homeland,

    Arthur smiled and declared a price, "I want to trade a large quantity of weapons and gold."Upon hearing this, Robert couldn't help but feel a bit suspicious, "Not money?"Still smiling, Arthur replied, "No, can you provide it? We will meet to discuss this."Robert genuinely didn't know why Arthur wanted such items, but he needed Arthur's plan. So, he nodded and said, "I can come to Hastings' house, right?"Arthur nodded, "Yes, just be aware that I might be very busy. But don't worry, my people will receive you courteously. After everything is settled, the ancient books will be delivered to your home."Robert knew Arthur wasn't just all talk; if he said so, it must be true.Smiling, Robert nodded, "I'll come today."Just as he was about to hang up, Arthur suddenly spoke up, "Robert, be cautious. There may be traitors within the military."Surprised, Robert didn't get a chance to ask more before Arthur hung up.Robert frowned, looking at his phone. Without further delay, he quickly h

    Arthur rolled his eyes, looking coldly at the abyss being consumed by the flames.When he saw that the tearful pleas were in vain, in the final moments, all that remained from the abyss's mouth were curses.But Arthur paid no attention; this time, the abyss had to die and, furthermore, die in an entirely new way.The abyss's body quickly turned into dust, but Arthur's flames didn't stop.This was because there was still a dark mist writhing madly there—this was the true nature of the abyss.Finally, Arthur stood, watching the flames burning vigorously for almost thirty minutes.By now, the abyss had completely perished.Arthur wasn't faring much better; he had almost lost his life.His face was as pale as paper, and his lips lacked any trace of color.The scenery in front of him seemed to tilt continuously.Arthur took a deep breath, quickly stabilizing himself, and his serious gaze looked fo

    In the final moment, even the abyss didn't fully comprehend what had happened. As soon as the child finished speaking, a tremendous surge of energy enveloped the supervisor's entire body. By now, the supervisor's body was covered in Arthur's blood.The energy erupted, flames engulfing the supervisor's body, causing unimaginable pain. The abyss howled in agony, the sound and force of the supervisor being so intense that cracks began to appear in the ground above them as if it could collapse at any moment.Arthur, pinned by the spikes on the supervisor's body, couldn't escape. The frenzied abyss ran amok, trying to extinguish the flames, causing Arthur's body to shake along with the chaos. Arthur furrowed his brow slightly, unable to do anything more.He didn't even feel the fire burning him; no heat, no pain. This fire was undoubtedly his ally. Arthur thought to himself.Amidst the incessant screams of the abyss, the earth above them began to crumble. Arthur opened his eyes wide

    This crack itself didn't know it, but at this point, it had become a deep abyss.The abyss seemed to be doing everything possible to kill Arthur. It frantically dug through its own memories and cracks, searching for Arthur's existence in the past. It aimed to exploit this information to devise a plan to kill Arthur more easily.Unexpectedly, it succeeded in finding what it sought. In the past, when Arthur was three years old and still in the Sunny orphanage, he had a genuine encounter with the abyss.Seizing this opportunity, the abyss immediately used most of its power to manipulate time. However, its power wasn't enough to reverse time entirely. Moreover, to carry out such powerful actions, the abyss had to endure a considerable toll on its own realm.At this moment, the abyss had no memories, but it was genuinely stronger than Arthur, a mere child. It felt confident that it wouldn't lose. As soon as Arthur appeared, it believed it could easily crush him, very gently.But the

    Arthur was lifted by the neck by the manager. Even though he struggled frantically, there was no way to escape, and it only made his body more painful.The manager, with his eyes gleaming bright red, looked at Arthur and said in a deep voice, "If you want to live, shut up!"Arthur could feel that the manager was different at this moment as if something had changed deep within him.This change made him appear more frightening, more audacious.Arthur pursed his lips, not daring to say a word.The manager seemed pleased with Arthur's silence. He smirked, then threw Arthur into the pit before him.As he approached, the foul smell intensified. Witnessing the scene in front of him, Arthur couldn't hold back his nausea.Seeing Arthur's expression, the manager sneered, "You've tasted it before, disgusting, isn't it? Ha ha, would you like to have more now?"Arthur's face turned pale, frozen, and he dared not make any other movements.The manager, satisfied with Arthur's fearful appearance,

    Arthur's trembling demeanor, in the eyes of the manager, appeared to be weakened to the point of imminent death. Instantly, the manager's eyebrows furrowed, but his spoken words seemed oddly gentle. He approached, took hold of Arthur, and then looked towards Emma, smiling as he said, "Alright, I'll take care of this little one; you may go."In reality, the manager wasn't particularly patient, nor was he a gentle person. However, when dealing with potential "harvestable" products, he was always required to be careful. After all, he was the one raising these children, knowing what they needed to grow up.Hearing this, Emma happily left without any worries. Arthur could only stare as Emma walked away, mouth agape, wanting to speak but finding himself unable to.This made Arthur involuntarily furrow his brows. He also sensed the formidable aura of the man. It seemed as though he wasn't holding a child's hand but rather trying to break a branch.As soon as Emma left, the manager nar

    Creating such a large space gate naturally consumes a great deal of power, but Benjamin doesn't even frown at it. His subordinates have arrived, a group of mermen with perfect appearances. Despite their aquatic nature, they firmly plant their feet on the ground, displaying incredible flexibility in movement, and without much talk, they join the battle.However, cracks appear in different races but manifest on the human battlefield. At this point, it's not just a matter of numerical difference; humans and others are truly overwhelmed to the point of breathlessness. Other races take more time to arrive, and at this moment, they must resist until assistance arrives.Meanwhile, Arthur below isn't faring much better. Almost as soon as he senses the spatial shift, Arthur knows what the abyss intends to do. So, for the first time in this life, he uses his privilege, broadcasting a summon to all non-human species on the continent, ordering them to send half of their armies to the human

    The body in front of Arthur shattered into pieces, with fragments of flesh and skin shooting towards Arthur, but they couldn't completely reach him as his shield blocked them.Expressionless, Arthur retracted his sword, coldly saying, "Fake again, too troublesome."Indeed, it was another fake; it wasn't a real abyss. However, Arthur could sense the power that had approached his body closely in the recent encounter. Perhaps that was a significant part of the abyss, similar to a detached limb.It could be that the abyss was dying, but it quickly transferred its energy to another body to continue its existence. Arthur thought itwas not entirely wrong; the recent encounter was not a genuine abyss, but it was still a significant part of the abyss.The abyss was now hiding in a corner within the darkness, with blood-red eyes dripping with fresh blood. At this moment, the figure became increasingly frail and uncontrollable, with blood gushing out wildly.Despite this, the figure was rec

    The colossal dark arrow collided with the sphere of sharp spikes, immediately creating a tremendous explosion of energy. The ground kept trembling, sharp fragments scattered everywhere, and the shockwave from the explosion alone could be lethal to an ordinary person.In the silent space, after a while, the sound of footsteps echoed, accompanied by heavy, triumphant breathing.The giant figure of the abyss approached the debris field. At this moment, the figure had undergone a massive transformation. Anyone who saw him now would likely struggle to hold back their nausea.The figure's body remained large, but the flesh seemed to melt, sagging to the ground as the figure was dragged along.The melted flesh revealed the grotesque skeleton beneath, with a back covered in sharp spikes, long arms reaching down to the legs, and twisted, bizarrely shaped feet.Especially disturbing was the figure's face, as the skeletal structure appeared incomplete, with half of the head shattered, exposin

    At this moment, Arthur truly resembled a person of fire, flames roaring on his body, incinerating all the creatures around him.Beneath a chaotic crack, the screams reverberated, causing excruciating pain to anyone's ears. Arthur, however, seemed oblivious to it all.He swung his sword against the frenzied spikes attacking him. Yet, these spikes seemed to have received some commanding order as they recklessly lunged toward Arthur, unaffected by the hellfire that engulfed them.One after another, spikes hurled themselves at him, seemingly endless. The abyssal realm beneath was evidently dissatisfied with his fiery onslaught, desiring to pull him down as swiftly as possible.Moreover, these spikes were numerous and seemingly fearless of death. Eventually, Arthur's flames revealed a gap.Seizing the opportunity, a spike swiftly maneuvered, grabbing hold of Arthur's ankle and aggressively pulling him down. However, another spike was quickly sliced into pieces, and many others were co
