''You shouldn't be so quick to lose your patience just because a few people ignored you, right? '' Diam walked up to Raydon and said in a flat tone. Raydon attempted to deny it, evading the judgmental gazes fixed on him. "Losing my patience? Not at all," he asserted, his words laced with a touch of defensiveness. Diam addressed Raydon with an unusual tone that combined firmness with a tinge of exasperation, while maintaining her customary composed and emotionless demeanor. ''So you're telling me you…

In fact, they were all people who would even sacrifice their children for the future of the family, but what Zephyr failed to comprehend was that the very act of casting Raydon aside and leaving him to die would bring even greater shame to the family than his disability ever could. It was true that when other families learned that a child with a disability was born into this family, they might think that their future is not bright because they believe that the perfection of the family's genes has…

''Sustain Life. '' Tika's health was dwindling, and she was lying still on the ground when Seren reached out her hand to her. At that precise moment, a brilliantly clear water bubble expanded from Seren's hand and engulfed her entire body. Tika, who appeared to be writhing in pain and having difficulty breathing for a while, finally stopped moving completely in this bubble of water as it surrounded her. "I am going to be in charge of her healing. The element he used to attack her seems to be…

"Besides, who could teach Raydon the techniques of a Grand Family? " Arden asked. He found it even more unbelievable that this technique was part of a Grand Family than he did the fact that Raydon's master had taught him a second high-tier technique. Zephyr exhaled deeply before responding with a sigh, "Well, that's another mystery, but I'm not talking about that." ''I'm referring to the first technique he demonstrated to us. ''As he spoke, he looked at Cael before continuing. "It wasn't just a…

''I changed my mind. '' Raydon looked over at Tika, who was writhing in his flames, and said while pulling back his flames. With the release of his hold, Tika's charred body fell to the ground. Her once alluring face, which had the power to captivate the attention of whoever looked at it, now bore the horrifying marks of severe burns. The skin adhered tenaciously to her skull, while her nose and eyelids melted away, leaving her eye sockets empty. Nevertheless, in spite of her disfigured state,…

Raydon had an insatiable greed for a life of unrestricted freedom, and in his previous life, the betrayals of those he held dear were what limited his pursuit of such freedom. However, he was also unlucky in the sense that, as a member of the socially inclined human race, it was impossible for him to lead an entirely solitary life. As a result, he viewed the challenges he faced as a game in which he had to prevail in order to achieve his goals. Therefore, in this new life, he had only one…

''I don't believe there is any purpose in carrying on this meeting any further. Go get some rest. Later, I'll send the blue-grade item to your room. '' Cael said. As he continued to speak, it was very interesting to observe that his authoritarian behavior from earlier had completely vanished. The look on his face gave the impression that he was both worn out and engaged in some serious reflection. A similar observation could be made about Raydon's mother, Thalia. She remained disconnected from…

'Domain? ' When Raydon saw the unexpected shock displayed on everyone's faces and heard Thalia's words, he was just as surprised as everyone else. Raydon's spirit stat was still at 70 when he first used the aura technique, and he noticed that the strength of his aura had increased after increasing it to 100. 'And I believe I am capable of expanding the range of my aura even further. Is this because of my sub-skill? ' Raydon reflected on his black aura, which had now filled the entire room. He…

'This technique should be enough to convince them.' Raydon deliberated before deciding on the technique he would demonstrate. Because he didn't really have a high-rank item holder behind him and there was no other way to prove his worth to his family, he needed to convince them of his worth by showing them his strength. In light of the fact that Raydon's current performance had the potential to earn him another priceless item, there was no reason to hold back. Raydon paused for a fleeting moment,…

Cael started talking again after there was a brief pause, having realized that Raydon was not going to provide an easy response to this question. ''Tomorrow, we will officially announce that you are one of the family heirs. '' Finally, he made his offer. ''Should I be impressed by this? '' Raydon simply scoffed. To begin, Cael's offer worked out better for them than it did for Raydon, which was in line with what they wanted to accomplish anyway. By accepting Raydon into their family in any case,…
