Chapter 100: Opening Up A New -
However, when Adrian learned who the first person to emerge from the World Dungeon was, he was beyond terrified. Now that he had returned to Orca, he no longer possessed the advanced Mecha he once relied on. So to say, he was weak. Far weaker compared to Igaris, who had effortlessly crushed an Elite Diver.
So, he did what any coward would do.
He reported Igaris’ accomplishments in Ashvale to his family. If left unchecked, it wouldn’t be long before that young man grew strong enough to challenge them.
Of course, the Adrian family’s foundation was formidable. A lone youth couldn’t possibly pose a real threat anytime soon. With that belief, they didn’t raise their guard too much. Instead, they dispatched a few watchers to monitor House Vance from the shadows.
As the noble house of War Commander Izroth, Vance couldn’t be touched openly without provoking a massive backlash from the Earth State. Such chaos would make it even harder for Adrian’s family and other three’s to maintain their grip on power.
So, for now, Igaris was safe, as long as he remained in plain sight.
But—
"Master, it seems the boy had other motives. He’s disappeared from House Vance," one of the spies reported urgently to the head of the Ecrox House—Adrian’s family.
The leader of the Ecrox House was a broad-shouldered, middle-aged man with bushy eyebrows and a terrifying presence. His aura alone could silence an entire court.
He clenched his fists the moment he heard the report.
"Fools! What were they thinking, letting that boy walk free? He should’ve been dealt with the moment he stepped out of the dungeon on his own two feet!" he roared, his voice more beast than man, vibrating through the stone chamber.
