Trisa's murderous intent!

When they finally processed what Alan had said their faces pale as though all the blood had drained away. The young master of the Oblong family had attacked one of the heirs of the sun clan.

Committing such an act could not only jeopardize their current position within the kingdom of Nahinil, but also lead their noble family to ruins. As though understanding that the elder of the Oblong family winced uncomfortably.

Currently, there were already heavy tension between the Oblong family and the Elrod family, both families were a part of the moon clan's faction and had been in a hostile relationship with each other after the death of the second heir of the Elrod family.

Something that the Oblong family was deeply involved with. In that past, the relationship between the first heir of the Oblong family and the second heir of the Elrod family had always been like that of brothers, in fact one of the heirs of the Elrod family was supposed to marry one of the daughters of oblongs family in a political engagement. Which would in turn, bring both families closer in a harmonious relationship. 

But instead, both heirs ended up falling in love with the young mistress of the Collins family, which ended up ruining the relationship between both families.

The young mistress of the Collins family was a renowned talented beauty, whether it's her high talent in magic, or her well-endowed figure, which was pleasing to the eyes, the two heirs couldn't resist her.

They both desired her more than anything.

They had done everything they could to woo her over, using their own handsome appearances or the influence of their family, even going as far as sending spies to observe her and see all of her favorite preferences.

In the end, the young mistress had chosen to marry the second heir of the Elrod family instead of the first heir of the Oblong family.

This decision ended up worsening their brother-like relationship. The first heir of the Oblong family acted gentle to the second heir of the Elrod family, smiling kindly at him while also giving him words of congratulations, while secretly plotting against him behind that gentle exterior.

As a form of celebration, the first heir of the Oblong family decided to invite the second heir over to his estate to celebrate his engagement to young mistress of the Collins family.

The first heir of the Oblong family poisoned his drinks and drank together with him. It was funny how these two who were as close as brothers could have their relationship ruined over a single woman.

Before long, the cold corpse of the second heir was eventually found near the Oblong family's territory...

The patriarch naturally, had no clue his son had killed the second heir of the Elrod family. But once the patriarch of the Elrod family had found out about his sons' fates, he naturally became enraged and demanded they hand over the first heir of the Oblong family.

Like all fathers, the patriarch ignored the demands from the Elrod family and continued to protect his first son.

The tension between both families eventually erupted in war! By the kings' orders, the sun clan and the moon clan had no choice but to get involved, stopping the war before there could be further casualties.

Since then, both families had been at constant odds with each other. Patiently waiting for an opportunity to take down the other.

The elder of the Oblong family couldn't afford for this news to spread. The reputation of the Oblong family was already so low in the public's eyes, he could easily see the Elrod family taking advantage of this information.

'Sigh, I'm getting too old for this.' He secretly thought to himself.

{How did our young master attack the heir of the sun clan? How do I know you're not lying to create distrust with the great clans and other noble families, causing them to become suspicious of our Oblong family?}

The elder asked, although he knew something like that was impossible, he still asked anyway, his elderly eyes shone with a faint light as though to see through all deception.

{Me, lying... Ahaha. As amusing as that sounds. Unfortunately, I have better things to do than to waste my time on such things. Also, why would I lie about this? I seriously doubt there is anyone foolish enough to make light of the esteem sun clan, right?}

Alan's voice was as indifferent as always as he responded to the elders' inquiries. Meanwhile, the elder of the Oblong fell silent, apparently lost in thought. 'While it's important to save the young master, I can't risk anything that could potentially cause harm to our Oblong family.' With that thought in mind, the elder turned his back.

"Let's go back." He said in a blunt tone.

"Wh-What! But what about the young master? Are we really about to abandon him over the words of a cowered too scared to show himself." The black-haired youth asked, his face contorting into a sullen frown.

"I agree, master, is this really, okay?" The young black-haired woman asked.

"You two, we are leaving, let's allow the patriarch to handle this situation." He replied.

{Tell me, just who are you, really?} He inquired about Alan's identity.

{As I already said, my identity is not important... I'm especially not dumb enough to reveal it to any of you.} Alan responded in a cold, blunt tone. Killing the young master of the Oblong family could potentially rise animosity from the Oblong family.

With his status as the heir of the dragon clan, it was doubtful whether the Oblong family was bold enough to cause him trouble in the future. However, Alan didn't want to cause any trouble for the dragon clan, no he couldn't bring himself to do so.

'If they decide to target me then it wouldn't be a problem, and grandpa is capable of taking care of himself... But mother is.' As expected, he couldn't allow anyone from the Oblong family to target his mother. When thinking like that, Alan suddenly had the urge to destroy the Oblong family.

With 'soul destruction' He was confident he could.

[... I wouldn't recommend doing so right now, if they have any skilled spiritual magic users, they could potentially find your traces and link the attack back to the dragon clan.] Akane, who had been silently observing everything suddenly spoke up.

It would've been one thing if Akane was at her peak, but right now she was in a weakened state. She couldn't completely hide Alan's traces from the sensory of other experts right now.

"Right... I have to give you the blood essence really soon, so you can recover quickly."

[I'm looking forward to it~.] Akane exclaimed, happily.

As Alan didn't respond to him anymore the elder of the Oblong family deduced, he really had no intention of revealing his identity. 'For someone this strong to refuse telling his identity does this means he fears the Oblong family's retaliation?' He wondered to himself, no doubt killing one of the heirs of a prominent family will raise their animosity, the elder of the Oblong knew keeping silent was a wise choice.

However, he knew he was going to get hounded for this once he gets back, with a gentle sigh, he manipulated his spiritual energy and vanished along with the other two youngsters at his side.

As their presence had completely disappeared, Alan sighed quietly.

If possible, he really wanted to avoid any confrontation with the elder of the Oblong family, even though the elder hadn't done anything yet Alan could sense he was really strong. If they fought, he was confident he could suppress him without going all out.

But his strength would be revealed out in the open.

Bang!

As he was pondering the fierce sound of an explosion occurred, waking him from the sea of thoughts. Both Elena and Jax had clashed for the umpteenth time, creating a large crater beneath their feet.

Elena's beautiful face was pale, as beads of sweats slid down her face. She also had blood from the corners of her lips from the attacks she had failed to dodge. "For a little brat, I must say, you are quite resilient."

"... And for a mere guard you are actually quite impudent. Flame bullets!" Without missing a beat, she shot three compressed bullets of flames towards him. All their trajectory were aimed towards his vital.

However, "Hmph," Jax snorted coldly, using the sword made from spiritual energy, he easily cut down each of the flame bullets as they approach. Seeing that Elena clicked her tongue.

Jax used his spiritual energy to raise his speed, disappearing from Elena's sight. "... Ngh." And delivered a heavy kicked to her stomach before she could take any defensive maneuvers.

Bang!

Her body was sent flying ten meters away, as she crashed against a wall behind her, coughing up blood from the kick to her stomach. Lennox grinned triumphantly as he watches Elena gasps for air. "Hahaha! What do you say? Why don't you rethink my earlier suggestion? Do you still want to play hard to get? Come with me and the pain will stop!"

Lennox laughed as he watched Elena on her knees with Jax standing over her. After observing this for a few seconds, Alan turned his icy cold gaze towards Lennox and in an instant, he disappeared from his spot.

"... Argh!" A knee strike landed directly into his face, destroying his right eye. Lennox recoiled from the sudden attack screaming as he writhed in pain, rolling across the ground. "I don't like weaklings acting so high and mighty." Alan mumbled coldly.

"Y-Young master!" The two guards both lunged towards Alan in a fluster, their weapons held tightly in their hands. The blades of their sword drew an arc through the air as they attacked Alan.

However, he easily evaded all of their swings with minimal effort.

For a faint moment, his eyes shone with spiritual energy within them, spiritual energy shot out in the form of two invisible blades, piercing directly into their skulls. The eyes of the guards suddenly went blank as their body fell to the ground; their souls were completely destroyed!

[... You have already used this technique quite a few times today. I suggest you don't use it anymore, at least not until your spiritual energy recovers.] Akane's worried voice resounded.

'Yeah, I know... Though I should be able to use it one more time.' He thought. Alan turned his attention towards Elena who was guarding against Jax's attacks, he swung his sword, aiming at Elena's slender neck. However, using her hand-held fan, she parries his blow while being force back.

'I should help her, hm? This presence is?' As he was about to support her, he stopped in his tracks as he notices another presence currently heading their way.

'This woman, isn't she one of Elena's attendants?' Alan wondered; he had remembered seeing her when Elena had first appeared in the dragon clan.

[She seems very strong, perhaps there is no need for you to get involved after all.] Akane responded, to which Alan nodded his head in a relaxed manner.

"Young mistress!" The voice of a young woman boomed a crossed the vicinity! She leapt gracefully off the building roof. Using wind magic, she gently landed onto the ground. This woman was extremely beautiful, she had long silky black hair and wore a white dress.

However, when she saw Elena's battered appearance along of the trail of blood trickling down her lips powerful murderous intent permeated the vicinity!

This killing intent was several times greater than Jax, sensing the arrival of a new enemy he furrowed his brow and took a stance. 'Why hasn't the reinforcements arrived yet?' Jax wondered, with the strength of the elders and great elders, traversing a long distance of hundreds of kilometers should be nothing.

However, he was completely oblivious that the 'reinforcements' He had been waiting for had already chosen to abandon him some time ago. Alan smirked as he gently leaned his back against the wall of a building as though he was enjoying a good show.

"Ava... Your finally here." Elena said as she got to her feet. "Young mistress why did you leave without informing me? And who did this to you?" The attendant who goes by the name Ava asked, she was attentively observing her surroundings, trying to understand the situation here. "Hmph, I'm fine." Elena said, despite the faint look of embarrassment on her face along with her beaten up appearance she truly looked dignified as she crossed her hands.

"Sigh, my lady, please don't go off on your own again, I was really worried, you know." Ava said, pouting her lips. Lennox glared hatefully at Alan with blood oozing from his right eye which was filled with blood and flesh.

Ava frowned as she observed Alan carefully, 'Isn't that the young mistress's fiancé? Why is he here?" Ava tilted her head. "You, I don't know what your connections are to those two, but they have committed a grave sin, they have angered the young master of our esteemed Oblong family, I suggest you leave this place those two must offer their heads for their insolence." Jax suddenly said.

"... The Oblong family, you say? To think a mere attendant would actually have the audacity to say such words to our mistress, if I don't punish you then I would bring shame to our clan." Ava said coldly.

"I must also punish these two disrespectful trash for their insolence towards our beloved young master!" Another voiced suddenly spoke up. Alan's body shivered when he heard this voice, turning his head the familiar figure of a young teenage girl with long black-hair came into view, it was his maid, Trisa. 'Shit! She found me!' He exclaimed internally.

[Hehe he... Someone's in trouble now~.] Akane laughed, as though she found the situation amusing.

Using magic to enhance her speed, Trisa had arrived in this place only to hear her beloved young master being insulted, if she doesn't teach them a lesson it would be a great shame onto the esteem dragon clan, which was supposed to represent great strength.

Alan's shuddered from the usual gentle and free spirited Trisa's murderous intent!

[... Scarry!] Akane gulped.

'I see... So, this is what they mean when they say the gentle ones are the most dangerous.' Alan's smiled faintly and swore in his heart, if he had one, he would never upset her again.

Little did he know, Suzu was just as terrifying as her older sister.
