Chapter 267: The New Quest Unlocked
Owen's POV
The city below buzzed like an electric hive—glittering, alive, and loud—but all I could hear was the slow, calm rhythm of my breath as I stood atop the skyscraper. The cold night wind ruffled my coat, but it didn't faze me. I activated my Beast Vision—a skill inherited with my title Beast Lord, allowing me to perceive heat signatures, energy traces, and even movement across long distances.
My golden eyes narrowed, scanning the gated property down the hill.
Yates Mansion.
The place looked like a lifeless corpse—no warmth in the windows, no bodyguards patrolling the perimeter.
"So... no one's home right now," I muttered. "Perfect."
I stepped back a few paces, braced my legs, and leapt into the air. The wind roared past my ears, the skyline becoming a blur of light and metal until I landed on the mansion's terrace with a silent thud—graceful, like a panther descending on prey.
I stood straight, glancing down at the massive estate that once belonged to Owen's mother. Now claimed and corrupted by that bastard William and his gold-digging mistress.
"Willam..." I whispered as I cracked my knuckles, voice cold as the steel in my veins. "Just you wait... I will make sure to take everything from you. Everything you built on her pain... on Owen's name... I'll burn it down to ash."
Sliding the glass door open with ease, I slipped inside. The house was quiet, bathed in shadows and moonlight pouring through expensive crystal windows.
The smell of expensive perfumes and imported leather still lingered—but beneath it, something deeper. Faint... like a memory sealed in time.
