Chapter 309: Changing Faces
Daniel really had to admit that what this guy Lioran had done was truly worthy of admiration.
Even though Serys hadn’t fully explained everything—and maybe she herself hadn’t realized what was really going on—Daniel could see the true goal behind all of Lioran’s actions.
Lioran hadn’t just managed to kill everyone who had mocked him in a mysterious way no one could understand, but he had also turned Serys—the only other candidate for inheritance—into a publicly hated figure.
As the apprentice of the Tower Master of the Central Magic Tower, Serys was naturally one of the main successors, right alongside the Tower Master’s daughter.
And Lioran? That guy had been nothing but trash before his talents awakened. But once he suddenly gained his legendary talent, everything changed.
He even managed to gain the support of the Grand Elders of the tower... But so what? No matter how talented he had become, time wasn’t on his side.
He had only been at the tower for two years. Despite his talent, he hadn’t achieved anything significant yet and wasn’t as popular or well-known as Serys or the Tower Master’s daughter.
So what did he do? He killed the Tower Master’s daughter and turned Serys into a public villain—Daniel had no doubt that Lioran had intentionally let Serys witness one of the murders.
By doing all that, he didn’t just create an invisible atmosphere of fear inside the tower, but also boosted his own reputation while discrediting Serys.
That kind of plan could only come from a genius. Daniel had to admit it—Lioran truly deserved some praise. Honestly, if someone like that became the next Tower Master, it might even be better than Serys leading.
