Back in the arena, El suppressed his enthusiasm, gently picked up Lys, and carried her in a princess-style hold. He nodded to the Knights who had been watching the match as he made his way out. El had long been aware of their presence, but he didn't mind since they posed no threat, and he had no intention of concealing his combat abilities. Many Knights were already aware of his exceptional blade skills, so displaying his hand-to-hand combat skills wasn't a concern. Quickly, he headed towards Lys's…-

A few hours ago, Within the Thorne training complex, there were various facilities beyond the sparring arena, including specially designed cultivation rooms. These tranquil chambers were meticulously constructed to enhance focus, meditation, and the precise manipulation of energy. In one such room, a dozen men had gathered. The Thorne Knights, with their imposing physiques and determined gazes, varied in age but shared a certain rugged handsomeness. Clad in their distinctive black and silver attire,…

Lys' horror was palpable as she immediately replied, "You wouldn't dare!" El just grinned and replied, "Try me". Hearing El's taunting words, a fiery determination surged through Lys. She couldn't let him threaten her beloved anime collection; it was now a personal matter . Without a moment's hesitation, she threw herself at El, her fury lending strength to her blows. She lunged forward with a swift punch aimed at El's chest, her fist cutting through the air with conviction. But it was as if she had…

El had just finished eating. Normally, he wasn't one to pay much attention to the taste of his food, as long as it was edible. However, he couldn't deny that Elian had rather daring culinary preferences. Isabella's recipes often veered into uncharted territory, and the only way El could describe their flavor was "powerful". None of the household staff was aware of El's existence, except for Lysandra, of course. To them, "El" was simply a nickname the parents and Lys used for Elian. However, they…

Julia entered her cluttered office, surrounded by the remnants of her work- half-opened books, scattered memorabilia, and partially signed papers. Realizing she didn't have the mental energy to deal with the documents, she wearily made her way to the plush leather sofa at the far end of the room. With a heavy sigh, she sank into its comforting embrace, seeking a moment of solace amid the chaos that had enveloped her life. As she closed her eyes, hoping to find some respite from her troubles, a sudden…

In the meantime, El could easily discern her thoughts from her expression and simply shook his head. This scenario had played out a dozen times before, and he knew it all too well. El chose to remain as a standby observer, refraining from intervening in their relationship. His relationship with Lys was quite straightforward. Lys had grown up alongside Elian and had always regarded El as a protective and caring older brother figure. Several reasons contributed to this perception. Firstly, El displayed…

Julia offered a tender smile, wiping her tears away, and placed a reassuring hand on El's shoulder. Her words carried a soothing quality, "Don't carry the weight of this mistake as if it defines your entire existence." As she gazed into El's eyes, she could see the profound impact the situation had on him. Guilt hung heavily in the air, threatening to devour him from the inside. Julia understood that allowing him to continue tormenting himself would not only be harmful but could potentially shatter his…

"It's been a while, El," Julia said. 'Elian' merely nodded, emitting a soft "Hm," and then fell into silence. Julia let out a sigh of frustration, approached the bed before expressing her desire, "I want to talk to Elian." "No," he replied with a cold demeanor. "Why is that?" she retorted, her frown deepening. "He hasn't woken up yet," he answered matter-of-factly. Julia was taken aback by this response. It made no sense, but she knew that the person in front of her wouldn't bother lying.…

Julia sat at her desk, engrossed in the various reports spread before her. The weight of recent events still hung heavy in her heart, and her husband's absence seemed to cast a shadow over everything. As if that wasn't enough, a fresh wave of challenges had emerged a?? challenges to her business, to her stability. Lost in her thoughts, she furrowed her brows, fingers tapping absentmindedly on the polished surface of the desk. How to tackle these problems without resorting to drastic measures? That was…

Elian was deep in thought, pondering the possible reasons for the changes he had observed. Suddenly, a memory surfaced: the bracelet contained about 5% impurities. Normally, the presence of impurities wouldn't be a major concern, since almost nothing is completely pure. Usually, these impurities don't significantly affect the material's properties. However, Elian was in uncharted territory, so it made sense to investigate this aspect as well. He turned to Zero One and requested a thorough analysis of…
