Chapter 327: Imperial Feast (I)
A few seconds after Cain left, a figure emerged from Magnus’ shadows. The man was covered in thick darkness, making it impossible to see his true form, but his eyes were sharp and had vertical pupils.
"Such sharp instincts. No wonder that the Patriarch praised the young man."
Magnus tightened his fists as he heard those words from the man covered in darkness.
"Is he stronger than you, Lord Opin?"
The man covered in darkness turned toward Magnus before a sharp light appeared in his eyes.
"Boy, do not play tricks with me. I will fulfill my mission, but you are on your own if you attempt to fight against Cain Laurifer. Unless that young man attacks first, I will not raise my hands against him."
Opin said nothing else before melting, merging again with Magnus’ shadows.
Magnus did not say a word and just looked at the fading figure of Cain in the distance before a sharp light appeared in his eyes. He was one of the greatest geniuses of the empire, but he had the misfortune of being part of the generation with an authentic monster.
However, while for other geniuses, it would have been rage and frustration, the only thing Cain’s talent awakened in Magnus was a bursting fighting will.
Cain continued walking calmly, but his instincts heightened. The group of the Azure Royal Family was not a real problem, but things grew more dangerous from the moment he detected that presence hidden in Magnus’ shadows.
Although he did not know who it was, he detected signs of the Void State practiced to the highest level, so it could only be a higher-up of the Aegon Family, to which he paid his respect.
’There are dangers everywhere. I should be extra careful.’
