Chapter 59: Mythic Reclasser, Aiden’s Anger
Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Mythic Reclasser, Aiden’s Anger
A young man in a white suit slowly walked through the crowd, his eyes fixed on Aiden’s outstretched hand.
“Aiden, you did a lot in The White City, but this is the Sovereign City. The princess’s position is extremely honorable. How could you dare to reach out and pat her head?” the young man shouted angrily.
Before Aiden could say anything, Kelsey suddenly jumped up and pressed her head hard into Aiden’s hand.
“Hmph, Logan cousin, Aiden isn’t disrespecting the royal family!”
“Kelsey’s matters don’t need your help!” Kelsey reached out and grabbed one of Aiden’s fingers.
The young man named Logan immediately turned red in the face.
Vespera walked to Aiden’s side and whispered.”This guy is also from the royal family. He’s a famous genius in the Sovereign City.”
“The chance to enter the Sovereign City’s secret realm was originally meant for him.”
At this, Aiden immediately understood. So this guy thought he had taken away his chance to enter the secret realm, which was why he had directly mocked him.
Aiden had just arrived in the Sovereign City for the first time, so he had no real enemies — except Owen.
Many people around were quietly watching. Their expressions were different, but most showed a sense of distance and rejection.
This was completely different from the attitude of the people in the Sovereign City.
Aiden smiled and used his other hand to pat Kelsey’s head, saying.”It’s only been a little while, and you already miss me that much?”
“Hehe, Aiden is my appointed general! A lot of people say I did a great job, even my mother said so.” Kelsey smiled happily.
She didn’t know why, but whenever she was with Aiden, she felt safe and happy.
Aiden was always kind, and he never kept his distance just because of her status.
Kelsey thought Aiden didn’t feel uncomfortable at all because of her royal position. He treated her like a younger sister.
She really liked it.
“Enough! Aiden, this is the Sovereign City, if you…” Logan’s words hadn’t even finished when a clear voice came from Empress Eira’s feet.
The imperial scepter trembled slightly. Eira gave Logan a cold look and said calmly:
“Kelsey is just a child, and Aiden is the Imperial Hero. Besides, Kelsey is right. The general appointed by the princess shouldn’t have so many rules with her.”
“Logan.”
Empress Eira just called out Logan’s name, and he immediately stood straight, bowed low and said.
“Your Majesty, I was wrong.”
Eira nodded slightly and said to the people around her: “Alright, don’t let this small thing ruin the banquet. You’re all genius Reclassers from the Sovereign City. You should have a lot to talk about.”
“Enjoy the banquet well.”
After saying that, Eira turned and left. She didn’t worry at all about Aiden getting hurt.
A young man who could make the empire’s ministers speechless wouldn’t have trouble with these Sovereign City geniuses.
She had other things to do. She would leave this to the young people.
After Eira was completely gone, James nodded to Aiden and said:
“Once the banquet is over, come to my house.”
“No, first go to mine.” Atlas suddenly spoke up.
John suddenly remembered what his grandfather had told him before coming. He gathered his courage and carefully said to Aiden: “My grandfather also wanted to invite…”
He didn’t finish his sentence before James and Atlas both turned their eyes to John.
John quickly shut his mouth and said nothing.
Luckily, after a while, someone came to find James and Atlas, and they left.
The imperial ministers also left one by one. As for Felix, he never even entered the banquet.
The rest were just young people, and it didn’t take long before the place became lively.
At that moment, a young man in a black tuxedo came over, holding a glass of red wine.
“General Aiden, do you remember me?” Evan smiled and raised his glass.
Aiden casually took a glass of red wine from a waiter’s tray and raised it toward Evan, smiling as he replied.
“Of course I remember. But I’m not a general anymore. Just call me Aiden.”
Aiden still had a good impression of these top students who had helped The White City. They had taken risks, and at that time, The White City was in a complicated situation. Something unexpected could happen at any moment and threaten their lives.
“Then I’ll be bold and just call you Aiden.” Evan laughed, clearly not at all shy.
Aiden nodded. He didn’t really care about the party, but chatting with Evan would at least pass the time.
“By the way, did you know? The queen seems to have decided to move up the College Testing.” Evan shared a piece of gossip.
To others, this was just a rumor. But this was the Sovereign City, and the party was full of genius Reclassers.
“Oh? When exactly?” Aiden was quite interested in the College Testing, since it had to do with Twin Coin.
Evan answered.”Probably just a few days from now. The exact time will be decided by the queen.”
“Aiden, you guys are really something. A bunch of geniuses here, even some Reclassers who woke up as Mythic right away.”
Aiden became interested. He had heard Luke mention this before, but he didn’t know much more.
“Hmph, someone from a small town actually wants to compete with real geniuses? That’s just a foolish dream.” Logan suddenly said.
It was clear he had been eavesdropping the whole time.
Evan frowned, but ignored Logan completely.
Aiden felt Kelsey pull his hand. When he looked down, he saw her eyeing a piece of cake nearby with a greedy look.
Aiden grabbed the cake and handed it to Kelsey, then patted her head and smiled.
“Try not to eat too much, or your teeth will get bad.”
Kelsey nodded excitedly.
Evan looked at Kelsey with a complicated expression. Aiden caught that moment.
“Something wrong?” Aiden asked.
Evan took a deep breath and said in a low voice.”There are some things you don’t know yet, since you just arrived in the Sovereign City. Maybe we can talk somewhere else later.”
“The princess seems happy being with you. That’s rare.”
Rare?
Aiden looked down at Kelsey, who was now eating the cake. A feeling of confusion filled his mind.
Before he could think too much, a group of people suddenly shouted.
“Look! It’s Victor!”
“Really? He never comes to these events. Why is he here?”
“Who knows? He’s a Mythic, a rising star. Let’s go say hello!”
“Come on, come on.”
Many of the Sovereign City’s top Reclassers left their seats and surrounded a man named Victor.
Victor frowned and said rudely.”Move it. Don’t block my way.”
He pushed through the crowd and came close to Aiden.
“You’re Aiden? The title of Imperial Hero doesn’t fit you.”
The whole room went silent instantly.
Even the top Reclassers of the Sovereign City, who had kept their distance from Aiden, didn’t dare to say something like that directly.
But Victor was different—he immediately lit up the whole place.
Everyone stopped talking, put down their drinks and food, and stared wide-eyed, not wanting to miss anything.
Aiden looked at Victor. He was a man with a square face, straight back, and looked fearless.
“Your strategy back then was wrong. You shouldn’t have scattered the survivors of The White City into buildings.”
“If it were me, I wouldn’t have done that. I would have found a better way to keep as many people alive as possible.”
“Your title as Imperial Hero is built on the deaths of The White City’s people. So you don’t deserve it.”
Victor kept talking, but Aiden showed no expression at all.
Only Kelsey, who was holding his hand, noticed something was wrong. She could feel the tension in his hand muscles.
“Oh, what was your strategy then?” Aiden’s voice was cold, and he was trying hard to stay calm.
People saying his professional level was low didn’t bother him.
Calling him from a small city like The White City also didn’t bother him.
But when someone said his tactics were wrong, and that more survivors of The White City died because of it.
He couldn’t stand it anymore.
He was now extremely angry, so angry that he almost wanted to fight this so-called top talent, Victor, right there.
Victor didn’t realize anything was wrong and kept talking.
“At that time, there was clearly a better way to handle it.”
“You could have fought while retreating, making sure you had enough strength to…”
Aiden didn’t even bother to listen to the rest.
“Useless. Fool.” Aiden’s tone was sharp and cold.
Victor was surprised. He hadn’t expected Aiden to not even argue, but instead just start calling him names.
“I said you’re a waste of space, a brainless idiot!”
“Did you not hear me?”
Victor glared at Aiden and said.”You really don’t deserve to be called Imperial Hero. You don’t want to face others’ criticism, and you can’t accept your failure in tactics.”
“Failure? You know nothing. Don’t act like a tactics expert here. Get out!” Aiden kept telling himself not to fight here.
But Logan couldn’t hold back. He cut in, saying.”Victor is a military genius. Even the war god James praised him. He has great potential. If he joins the army, he could become a general.”
“What he said about the tactics was clearly better than yours, Aiden. Because of you, many innocent people died!”
Boom!
At those words, Aiden’s energy suddenly exploded.
Because of me, so many innocent people died?
Bloody thumbs, broken bodies… scenes flashed in Aiden’s mind.
He looked at Logan and said in a cold voice.
“What did you just say?”
