Chapter 158 Families

Atticus ignored both stares of Lila and Lark and turned his gaze to another corner, where a group filled with black haired youths stood.

Every single youth in the group, even the females, had buff, firm metal looking muscles, all with tanned skin.

They were the Emberforge family.

Their unique bloodline was intricately linked to metal. But it went beyond mere manipulation, it endowed them with extraordinary proficiency in the art of blacksmithing.

This innate ability allowed them to sculpt and control metals with unparalleled precision, and their creations bore not only exquisite craftsmanship but also enchantments and diverse properties. novE-lb)In

Every single member of the Emberforge family had very good defense, because of obvious reasons.

On another corner, a group of blue haired youths gathered. Each member possessed a slender physique and carried an air of weariness, as if they had relinquished all motivation in life.

They all didn't seem to care about anything happening in the area and were the only group whose youths had completely ignored the Ravensteins' entrance.

These were the Enigmalnk family. Their bloodlines leaned heavily towards intellectual prowess, making them exceptional rune engravers. They were a family filled with runemasters.

On another corner, a bunch of bright orange haired youths stood. Each one wore an expression of pride, emanating a heroic aura as if sworn to eradicate any trace of evil.

These were the Stellaris family. Their bloodlines were intricately linked to solar energy, empowering themselves with the energy drawn from the sun.

Atticus also perked up his ears, trying to listen. He was also curious about who she was.

Lucas turned his gaze towards the girl and spoke, "Seeing how the other youths are respecting her, she must be Zoey Starhaven, the next in line to be the matriarch of the Starhaven family," Lucas explained.

"Zoey," Atticus muttered quietly. His voice was meant to be subtle, with no one hearing it, but unfortunately for Atticus, a particular red eyed girl had wanted to say something to him and mistakenly heard him.

Aurora smiled cheekily, inching closer to Atticus, "You've got a crush on her, hehe," she remarked silently.

Atticus's mouth twitched. 'How the heck did she hear me?' He thought. Atticus cleared his throat subtly, choosing to completely ignore Aurora.

A few meters away from the Ravenstein group, Lark gazed at Atticus with a cold expression. "Lady Lila, is that him?" He turned to Lila and asked.

"Yes," Lila squinted her eyes that were currently completely focused on Atticus. 'This bastard got handsome,' she thought.

Despite her acting calm since, Lila still hadn't forgotten what Atticus did to her during the arcade incident. 'Pray we don't meet during the test,' she thought with a cold glint in her eyes.

Lark smiled and said, "Good. I'll be back, Lady Lila, let me go teach him a lesson."

Just as Lark was about to take a step, suddenly an overwhelming aura descended on the area, immediately silencing all the youths currently present in the area.

Each of the youths, including Atticus, turned their gazes skyward to see the imposing figure of a man.

The man had brown hair and a large beard. His whole waist was donned with different sheathed swords around his waist, and on his back was a huge broad sword with its hilt sticking out over his head.

The man exuded an otherworldly aura that only the tier one youths, who had experience with such aura, were able to identify, a Paragon.
