Semua Bab Revenge of the Night: Bab 1071 - Bab 1080

Claude was right. They could deal with the clans easily enough. However, that wasn't what Daniel was worried about. "Claude, you got it all wrong. I was never worried about the clans' riots. I worry about the families and sects. They haven't made a move," said Daniel quietly.Among the Three Great Powers, the sects came first, the families came second, and the clans came last. Daniel was never worried about the clans. His main concern was about the other two powers, especially the sects.The sects were in hiding, and they had powerful Top Legend Realms among them. They also had cultivators more powerful than that as well even if they'd never shown themselves for a long time now.However, none knew if they would ever decide to return to the forefront.Winston said, "Daniel's right. The clans are nothing to us, but if the families and sects do step in… We must prepare for an all-out war."Claude harrumphed. "I don't care! If anyone tries to go after Nox, I'll rip their heads off eve

The truth was all out. Claude and Winston finally knew the real reason Daniel did what he did. They understood the pain and agony he had gone through all these years.Claude asked, "Daniel, if you did all of that to protect Nox… Why won't you tell him? Why'd you keep the misunderstanding going on for so long?"Daniel shook his head. "I cannot tell him. He is the one with the brightest future among the clan. If I tell him, that will only put him in more danger. This secret must only be known to the three of us. I don't care if he hates me forever."Claude and Winston fell silent. That was what a good father would do. They would sacrifice everything to protect their children. Daniel's hands were tied."One more question, Daniel. Who's the bastard? Who wanted Nox dead? Who wanted to harm him and his mother?" Claude growled, his eyes bloodshot. He couldn't understand why this had to happen. Daniel was the number one Top Legend Realm thirty years ago. Yet, he actually feared someone?

Nox couldn't understand. If there was one reason for Daniel's exile of his own wife and child, then it could only mean that that man was involved. The thought of that summoned a wave of icy air from deep within Nox.A long silence later, Nox stood up. "Come with me."Redsleeve didn't ask questions. She simply nodded.The Greenshades, the erstwhile top clan of Faeast. A pair of silhouettes stood before its gates. They were Nox and Redsleeve. Nox brought Redsleeve here after their talk."Do you know this place?" Nox looked at the golden plaque hanging on the entrance.Redsleeve nodded before she blurted enthusiastically, "Yes, I do!" Although she was raised by Daniel, she had never come to the Greenshades' abode. Suicide squads always hid in the shadows, but Nox actually brought her here."Are you going to see Mr. Greenshade?" Redsleeve's eyes glimmered as she looked at Nox curiously.Nox shook his head. "We're no longer related.""What? Then what brings you here?" Redsleeve was

"On that same day, you were born, crying and kicking." The crone's face was filled with a blissful smile as she reminisced about Nox's birth.Nox was still confused. No one told him about the earthquake or rainbows on the day he was born."Since that day, the world spoke of how the True Dragon has descended upon my clan." The crone sighed."Six days after you were born, a monk in black robes came to our abode. His ears were unusually big, and he stirred up a gale when he approached us. He came to our backyard and stood under the ancient tree, staring at your mother and you."The crone continued, "We thought he was just a regular monk. So, we paid no heed to him. However, the moment he saw you, he said this, 'The true heir of the Greenshades shall wield the rule of Faeast.'"Nox was thunderstruck. 'The true heir of the Greenshades shall wield the rule of Faeast?' He knew how substantial that prophecy meant."Why didn't anyone ever tell me this, Grandma?" Nox asked tremulously."B

Nox didn't return to his abode after departing the Greenshade estate. Instead, he stood on the bustling street, his eyes cold and heavy with the troubles afflicting his mind.Redsleeve was with him, but she was a mere servant, so she kept quiet. A long while later, Nox blurted, "Redsleeve, you go back without me.""What? You're not coming with me, Master Nox?" Redsleeve looked at Nox curiously."I have something to handle." Nox walked down the busy street.Redsleeve saw him off. She hesitated for a few moments but eventually left.The talk with his grandmother gave Nox almost all the answers he needed. The answers were tied to that case sixteen years ago and the reason for his and his mother's exile. The real reason for that stemmed from Faeast's most sacred place—the Imperial Castle.Night gradually descended. The Imperial Castle stood in the center of Imperia, resplendent and unending. It was filled with impressive chambers and shimmering pavilions.This was Faeast's most impo
