*** Basil gazed at the unfolding scene with his cold deep eyes. He had run for eight hours non-stop to get here. His muscle was strained. However, the unfolding scene he was witnessing completely diminished the pain he felt from his muscle. Irene was sprawled on the ground with scorched abdomen, while coughing blood from time to time. Her eyebrows were frowned due to the immeasurable pain. A few meters away from Irene, Shirley was sprawled on the table which Nicholas used to support executing his…

"M-mother... W-what is this? What is happening?!" Shirley was frantic. She couldn't understand the scene she was witnessing. "Father, why are you just standing there? Help her!" She was so frantic she didn't register Nicholas was snickering at her. "Shirley, close your eyes!" Irene, who had enough of it, pulled Shirley to her chest, successfully covering the latter's vision. "Nicholas, you sick bastard! What have you done to your own wife?!" In response, Nicholas cackled madly. "I am just doing her a…

"You look prettier than your usual self tonight." "Hoh? Do you even know how I usually look?" "You look pretty." Iliana shook her head in amusement. She would like to consider herself being flirted with, but Basil's face was too straight to indicate he was flirting. It felt like Basil had merely stated a fact. "Good evening, Basil! I hope you still remember me." Clovis, who returned with Xiu Li in tow, greeted. He had just successfully saved Xiu Li from the predators. "Good evening, Brother Basil! You…

"Kuhum. May I ask who this figure is?" Jacinda, who had quickly regained her composure, asked Basil. Surely, Basil's answer was simple. "I don't think you expect me to know him." Upon hearing it, Jacinda sighed softly. "I am sorry for asking." She shook her head faintly, then stared at Basil. Likewise, Basil stared at her back. After some time, Jacinda finally opened her mouth. "About the reward, what would you like to ask?" "Since it has come to this, I will not hold back." Jacinda wasn't bothered as…

The Regional Tournament was concluded, and the news of the winners were delivered to the expecting people. Surely, it caused shock amongst them. No one had expected three unknown individuals to win the match. Basil Pacifer of an unknown Noble family, Wei Xiu Li of Hua, and Kimberley Bulmer of a Baronet's family. No one had heard of their brilliance before. Therefore, they were bewildered. Luckily, one of them came from a fairly well-known Magic Academy. Thus, they were somehow spared from the extreme…

"Hm? Someone messaged me." Shirley gripped her Transmission Talisman, and infused her Mana to it. She quickly found that it was Nicholas. He said there was something urgent, and she needed to go home. Shirley frowned her forehead. Since Basil's banishment from her house, her relationship with her father had been distant. It wasn't only with her father, but also her mother. Each of them was busy with their own things. Therefore, Shirley slept at Basil's manor more often than at her house for the last…

"Victor, Basil Pacifer!" The arena was silent, until it was broken by the referee. Although he was dumbfounded by Basil's earlier action, he was quick to recover. After all, that is just how the world works. It is fair and square. Gender doesn't matter. He agreed that seeing it on a young man as young as Basil was kind of surprising, though. Clap! Clap! Clap! Cheers came right after the declaration. Basil took back his flying weapons, and brought Deacon down. The latter did his best not to show his…

Basil patted Deacon's soft fur, while still looking at the petrified Kimberley. He wasn't the least bit offended when Kimberley had laughed at him, he wasn't petty. Furthermore, compared to him, Kimberley was still a kid, and kids tend to not know what they're doing. "So, shall we continue the match?" Basil asked casually. Sadly, in Kimberley's ears, it sounded condescending. Therefore, Kimberley clenched her fist, then mounted her Unicorn, Acacia. Facing her right palm upward, her Spatial Bracelet…

*** The tournament kept ongoing with the top three spots remained unchanged. Basil, who got bored with the tournament, did a good job to hide his boredom. He found conversing with Xiu Li was way more interesting than the match. Surprisingly, Basil wasn't the only one who thought that way. The audiences also thought the same. They couldn't help it. What they had witnessed up till then had been bloody matches between bright Junior Mages, like Basil, Xiu Li, and Kinsey. The current match was really pale…

*** "Catherine, you are beautiful. Therefore, you have to be careful, okay?" I remember that sentence clear and vivid. My mother used to say that to me. It was a very long time ago, where I was merely Catherine, without any last name. I was born a commoner. My family consisted of me and my parents only. My family wasn't wealthy, nor was poor. We had enough money to support our life, but never could we afford a luxury. But still, we were one happy family. At least, until that day. "Catherine... How old…
