Semua Bab Sorry, Too Late: Bab 531 - Bab 540

Graham started lavishing adulation on Zeke. "You think he doesn't care? He's just broad-minded enough not to let the narrow-sighted men bother him!" He wanted to marry Anya off right away.No one saw it, but something dark flickered deep within Zeke's eyes. He wanted to take down the two families if he could; he really did. Frankly, the first thing he wanted to do after he gained more strength was to take revenge upon Evan and the other two families.However, Black Sun told him that Draganland was still on guard against them. The organization couldn't make a move in this nation, at least not now. Zeke was the exception to that rule. That was because no one was aware that he was affiliated with Black Sun. It was the reason the organization was paying more attention to him.Zeke had become an important pawn in Draganland, and one that had the freedom to move as it pleased. He could easily finish missions where Black Sun would've had to pay a heavy price if they'd sent in other opera

The mayor's wife had decided to whip up a meal. Although the food was simple, the dinner itself was a top-tier event. The mayor was beyond delighted, seeing his political future secured and his daughter's future bright.It was a jovial dinner. Gaius and Ivana didn't put on airs. Instead, they got along like regular people. Grins were painted over everyone's faces, and underneath those grins were the same thoughts.Before they finished their food, the mayor was the one who spoke. He looked at Gaius. "Sir, Ms. Stanton is nearly at a marriageable age. What are your plans for her?"The air froze up and went silent for a moment. Sylvie put down her silverware nervously. Estelle was holding her breath.Gaius roared with laughter. "Don't worry about it, Sean. I have found the perfect man for her!"Sean adjusted his glasses and smiled. "And I've also found the perfect man for Estelle."Estelle and Sylvie relaxed after that brief exchange. The tension flowed out of them upon knowing that

The Department's prodigies felt the presence, and heads snapped to the seclusion chamber. Someone gasped. "Orion's out of seclusion!"Penelope and her team approached the chamber. A silhouette slowly walked out of the cloud of dust. He had the air of a predator as he stalked out with frightening strength. A vague seal had appeared on his forehead, much to everyone's shock."Orion, you’ve gained a martial mark?"The martial mark was proof that someone had a breakthrough, and a major one at that. The more martial marks a warrior had, the stronger they were. Helso himself had five of them.Orion smiled. "Lady Luck has smiled upon me. I've spent two years training myself to the best I could, and this is the result. I'm on a whole new level now! If Kaldor's still alive, I can take him out in one punch!" he declared.He thought the prodigies would lavish him with praise and worship the moment they saw the rise in his strength, but all he noticed was shock and something else, something c

Zeke was dying to kill them. He had been harboring that desire for two years. He only put it on the back burner in order to focus on his mission. Now that it was over, it was time to finish his affairs.The heiresses were surprised that Zeke brought up going back to Silverton."Are you sure you don't want to take more time? We still have some places we haven't visited." Hazel and Roxanne weren't too enthusiastic about going home as they'd have to face their elders.Although they did keep in touch through phone calls over the last two years, it was clear through the conversations that Hazel's parents and Thaddeus didn't need or want them in their lives.Since that was the case, they'd rather stay with Zeke.Zeke smiled. "Aren't you ladies curious what Evan's been up to?"The mention of Evan hit the ladies hard. Their pupils narrowed, and their minds went blank. It had been years since that name was last mentioned. They'd nearly forgotten about Evan. Humans. They'd forget some of t

Zeke's eyes scanned everyone in the room, and his smile deepened. "Everyone's here. Let us begin."Graham grabbed Zeke's hand. There was no hiding the joy in his tone as he said, "You're not leaving anymore, right?" He wished Zeke would stay in Silverton forever. Only with Zeke here would his position as Lord of Silverton remain uncontested. Otherwise, he was at risk of falling from grace at any moment.The heiresses exchanged a look that said they were fine with staying. They had their fill of fun for two whole years. So, they didn't really have it in them to go for another long trip. All they wanted was to settle down, and it was fortunate that Zeke was here.If nothing else, they knew Zeke would stay. That was the only thing that gave them comfort.Evan was staring at Zeke. He could feel the growth in Zeke's strength. Thaddeus was gazing at Zeke as well."You wouldn't gather all of us here for nothing, Carter. Talk."Everyone turned their eyes to Zeke, including Graham. He w
