Chapter 99: Chapter 99: Logan’s Father, the Powerful James
Luke’s face changed. He stood at the door, completely still.
He looked back at Aiden and said.”You rest first. I’ll take care of it.”
After saying that, Luke closed the door right away.
“Luke! Give me Aiden! I’m going to kill him!”
“A reclasser from a small place dares to treat my son like that! The Evil Demons Guild wanted to kill him, but my son became a vegetable!”
“Why? Why!”
“It’s all Aiden’s fault!” A furious voice came again, and at the same time, a powerful energy suddenly burst from outside the room. The doors and windows of the room where Aiden was instantly shook, and the ground started to tremble slightly.
Luke’s eyes were cold. His muscles were all tight, and suddenly, several red chains appeared behind him.
He didn’t waste any words. He directly used his skill as a Tyrant Cleric — Despot’s Realm!
“Henry, your son was just unlucky. What does that have to do with Aiden?”
“Aiden is the top scorer in the national College Testing. He’s an empire hero. The future of the empire! Are you going to kill him?” Luke’s voice was cold. His eyes looked at Henry with a strong killing intent.
Henry was fat and only 1.6 meters tall. He was extremely angry, glaring at Luke with hatred.
Logan was his son. But now he had become a vegetable, lying in bed all day. He even needed help with basic things like going to the bathroom.
And professional doctors said that Logan still had some consciousness. He knew what was happening, but he couldn’t do anything.
This was like being trapped in his own body, slowly dying.
The pain his son was going through was even worse for Henry than if he had been killed himself.
“I’m saying it again. Give me Aiden. It’s all because of him that my son is like this!”
“What about the College Testing top scorer? What about the empire hero? I don’t care!” Henry shouted. His legs bent slightly, and the ground beneath him suddenly cracked.
Then, his fat and short body shot forward like a bullet, rushing toward Luke.
Luke didn’t hesitate. He immediately pulled out his huge axe and swung it forward with all his strength.
Boom!
The ground shook. A loud and shocking collision sound filled the air.
The door behind Luke was blown away by the force of the impact. Even the strong walls started to crack and fall apart.
The room where Aiden was was almost completely destroyed in just a few breaths.
“Die!” As soon as Henry saw Aiden, his eyes turned blood red.
His body suddenly gave off a strong golden light, as if he was covered in gold foil.
“Golden Arhat!” Henry shouted, using all his strength. He was a Legendary Rank Arhat warrior, level 80, and his level was one higher than Luke’s!
And the Golden Arhat was his strongest skill. It could give him a temporary huge power boost, greatly increasing both physical and magical defense.
Luke’s big axe let out a painful creaking sound.
At the same time, his right foot took a step back.
“Are you forcing me?” Luke’s scarred face twisted with muscles.
At that moment, he looked like a monster from hell. His eyes were cold and full of killing intent.
The red chains behind Luke swung wildly, then quickly wrapped around his skin.
The ends of the chains pierced into his blood vessels and went inside.
Luke’s tall body kept growing, expanding to 3 meters tall.
He looked like a fierce beast, his body covered in red chains, and chains rushed quickly through his blood vessels.
Blood, chains, axe, along with strong killing intent, brutality, and madness.
At that moment, Luke had become a true tyrant, and his eyes only saw the desire for blood.
“Stop!”
Just as Luke and Henry were about to start a fierce battle, James’ voice suddenly appeared.
Then, two soldiers in black armor, whose faces were not visible, held long spears to Luke and Henry’s necks.
“What are you two trying to do? Rebel?” James’ voice was cold. His expression was cold and had no trace of the previous calm and elegance.
He slowly walked forward, and with every step, a series of ghostly scenes appeared behind him.
Mountains of corpses, rivers of blood, and weapons scattered like weeds on the ground…
The air seemed to freeze. Aiden stood in the ruins, even able to smell the sickening smell of blood and the bad smell of rotting corpses.
His eyes were full of shock!
James, who looked so ordinary before, was actually so powerful?
What were those ghostly scenes—mountains of bodies, rivers of blood?
Aiden had never seen such a scene before, not even when he was in The White City. He had never felt such a strong pressure.
Even the Demon Duke Ethan from the Abyss wasn’t as strong as James right now.
Luke first put down his axe. The red chains inside his body slowly pulled out of his flesh, bringing out a lot of blood.
His body slowly returned to normal, and then he said in a low voice: “General James, Henry came in here and tried to kill Aiden. I had to stop him.”
James turned his eyes to Henry. The middle-aged fat man, who had been so wild and disrespectful just a moment ago, took a few steps back.
His golden light started to disappear, and his face turned pale.
“Aiden killed my son. He deserves to die!” Henry clenched his fists, his eyes full of killing intent, staring directly at Aiden.
James let out a cold snort and slowly walked in front of Aiden, blocking Henry’s view.
“The Empress has already ordered that you can’t step into the palace ever again, and you can’t leave your house on your own.”
“Are you trying to rebel?”
Henry took a deep breath and then slowly let it out.
“Aiden, unless you stay in the palace for the rest of your life, I’ll make you a vegetable just like my son. You’ll lie in bed all your life!”
After saying that, Henry didn’t hesitate at all. He turned around and left immediately.
Aiden stayed calm, just watching Henry’s back, memorizing his face.
James turned around and looked at Aiden, sighed, and said.
“Logan’s case is still under investigation, but it’s definitely connected to the Evil Demons Guild.”
“Whether or not you caused Logan to be in this state, for now, don’t go out of the palace by yourself.”
“Henry is the type to find a chance to attack you.”
James looked a bit helpless. Henry was a prince of the empire, and he couldn’t stop him.
Empress Eira had already ordered that Henry couldn’t leave his estate, but the guy just came here directly.
“I’ll go see the Empress first.” James said, and without staying any longer, he hurried away.
In the ruins, only Luke and Aiden were left.
After a long silence, Aiden finally spoke: “That Henry, what class is he, and what level?”
Luke looked at Aiden and shook his head. “Your strength is still too weak. He’s a Legendary Rank Arhat warrior, level 80.”
“As for General James, he’s a level 95 warrior.”
“The higher the level, the bigger the gap between Reclassers. When a Reclasser reaches level 95, they’re called Venerable.”
“That means a strong person everyone respects.”
Venerable?
Aiden took a deep breath. James was level 95? No wonder even the Demon Duke Ethan from the Abyss didn’t feel as pressured as James did.
“Alright, I’ll take you somewhere else to rest.” Luke said as he drank a healing potion.
Along the way, Aiden asked more about Henry.
Luke said that Henry had done some mistakes before, and the Empress punished him, not allowing him to leave his estate.
Also, almost no one dared to bother Henry in the Sovereign City.
At this point, Luke suddenly stopped and looked at Aiden.
“You were careless. Is it really not your fault that Logan became a vegetable now?”
Aiden shook his head and smiled, saying.”No.”
“That’s right. Whether it was you or not, you must stick to that story. Logan became like this because of the Evil Demons Guild, not you.”
“Relax. Now, you and Victor, Jade, are very important for the army’s morale.”
“The Empress will make sure you’re safe.”
Luke let out a soft breath, looking sad. He clenched his fists and said in a low voice.
“Do you remember Charles?”
Charles?
Aiden thought for a moment and remembered where he had heard that name before. It was the Soul-Curse Priest who had attacked him.
“Charles was once one of the top talents in the empire. He was a Soul-Curse Priest, different from my Tyrant Cleric, but still a combat priest.”
“I used to think a lot of him. He had a great chance to become even stronger than me, maybe even reach Venerable level, which is level 95.”
“But because of Henry, who wanted Charles’s girlfriend… Charles betrayed the empire.”
Luke didn’t know why he was talking about these things. He suddenly felt a strange tiredness.
Charles, and Aiden too, were the future of the empire, maybe even the future of humanity.
But there were always all kinds of things, all kinds of people, trying to kill them.
And what about the empire?
“Never mind. Get some rest early.” Luke said, shaking his head and taking a deep breath, trying to stand straighter.
He led Aiden to another room and then left.
Aiden watched Luke walk away and slowly closed the door.
He needed to get stronger faster.
“Everyone who wants to kill me… will die!” Aiden’s eyes were full of determination.
