Free Web NovelChapter 7: Mysterious Guest
"Go, and prepare everything." Corvus nodded, and the Sword and Spear brothers left, preparing for everything required within an hour. freewebnovёl.ƈom
Max, who was silent during this conversation, couldn’t help but ask, "Mr. Corvus... are those two Bloodline Warriors?"
"Ohh, you noticed; it looks like your senses are quite sharp." Mr. Corvus nods his head. "Both of them are awakeners of the D-rank Berserker beast bloodline and are quite famous among the surrounding cities.
"With their presence it would be easier for you to leave the city."
Max nodded and didn’t say anything, as now he was waiting for the hour to pass quickly and leave the city.
While Max was trying to leave the city, something else was going on with the Blackthorn family as a mysterious guest seemed to have arrived.
A figure covered in black rope appeared outside the magnificent estate of the Blackthorn family.
The guards at the entrance noticed the stranger and immediately stepped forward to stop them.
But the moment they moved, their consciousness began to fade.
One after another, the guards collapsed onto the ground without even understanding what had happened.
More and stronger guards from within the estate faced the same situation; some were fully awakened bloodline awakeners, yet they were just like the rest, losing consciousness without understanding what was going on. freёwebnovel.com
All of this happened in utter creepy silence with no words spoken by either side. And the mysterious person calmly walked through the front gate and entered the most secured place of the Black Iron City without lifting a single finger.
Right at that moment within the central hall, various elders from the Blackthorn family were discussing major matters.
As a guard quickly came running, "L-Lord! Something happened!" He panted heavily, terror written across his face.
"An intruder... an intruder has entered the estate!"
"What!" This sudden news shocked everyone present, as they were the overlord of the city; who would dare to mess with them on their own territory?
Everyone instinctively turned toward the figure seated calmly at the center of the hall.
The man radiated an extraordinary aura.
He was none other than the head of the Blackthorn family—the ruler of Black Iron City for generations.
He appeared to be a sturdy middle-aged man in his late thirties with black hair and sharp features.
Yet everyone present knew the truth. The family head was actually over a hundred years old and ruled the land with overwhelming strength without showing any sign of weakness with time.
He was still calm even knowing someone had broken through their home.
"Calm down. The Blackthorn family remained standing because of its strength. "No matter who the intruder is, it is nothing compared to our noble house of Blackthorn." His calm voice rang throughout the hall.
"Oh, really?" But as they just calmed down, another voice suddenly came from outside the hall.
Cold, calm, and utterly terrifying. The moment they heard it, instinctively chills ran down everyone’s spines.
Even the mighty leader who had a calm and poker face seemed to have crumbled as the chilling voice seemed to make him remember something. And from the main entrance door the cloaked intruder came in.
The mighty noble house of Blackthorn was breached, and an intruder actually came through the main door in bright daylight. It was a dream they never even dared to imagine but happened right in front of them.
"Darius, it seemed ruling over the small city made you forget your place." The cold voice of the intruder rang within the hall, shocking everyone, as it seems the intruder knows the leader.
Darius, or the Blackthorn family’s leader, hearing these words, seemed to start trembling and quickly went on his knees.
"I... I didn’t expect your visit, Miss." He was very surprised, as he didn’t ever expect her to visit herself, as the matter he thought was small, but it seems it was bigger than his understanding.
While Darius was lost in his thoughts, everyone in the hall couldn’t believe what was happening as they saw their mighty leader lower himself like this. Immediately everyone wanted to know who the mysterious intruder actually was.
But before anyone dared to speak, Darius shouted sharply, "Everyone leave! Now!"
The elders hesitated.
Their curiosity burned intensely, yet none of them dared disobey. Even kneeling, Darius still possessed absolute authority within the Blackthorn family.
One by one, they quickly lowered their heads and exited the hall. And in a matter of seconds only Darius and the mysterious intruder left.
The hall became absolutely silent, and Darius remained on his knees without daring to move.
Finally, the cloaked figure reached up and slowly removed the black cloak.
A face was revealed beneath it.
And it surprisingly was a young woman, but not an ordinary woman, as her beauty seemed out of this world; whether it was man or woman, beast or demon, everyone would lose their soul to her charm.
"You seem to have not improved much, Darius, since I last saw you." Her voice was calm, yet every word carried invisible pressure.
Then she seemed to think for a moment.
"When exactly was that?"
"Miss it exactly sixty-five years." Darius quickly said, lowering his head.
"Sixty-five years, huh? If the person you found is the one that I need, then I will grant you the chance to transform," she said with a calm voice, like it was nothing to her.
But Darius’s eyes seemed to shine with excitement as he knew; for others it might be impossible, but for Miss it wasn’t.
"Bring the person." She didn’t say more.
"Yes, I will immediately send someone to bring him here." He appeared confident outside, but deep down he was a bit anxious, as he hadn’t taken this matter seriously before. He only remembered ordering a few people to monitor the boy, nothing more.
After that, he had largely ignored it.
But now everything had changed. If the person disappeared before he could present him to her...
Then he would literally be fucked. So fucked that he couldn’t imagine what kind of horror he would face.
Darius clenched his fists tightly as he was almost shitting his pants just thinking about consequences. He might appear mighty in front of people of Black Iron City, but in front of her, even regional rulers are just some pussies, let alone him.
He needed to find that boy immediately. Before the Miss noticed anything wrong.
