Chapter 689 Pay the Piper! (1)

Surface, somewhere in the star ocean, was located a hidden isle known as Lightning Isle by its inhabitants, the Lightning Elf Race!

The Lightning Elf Race is one of the hidden races of the Unique Plains and one of the few Three Steps of Legend Races!

The Lightning Isle was surrounded by a purple lightning field all year long, and many exotic flora of lightning type were present in this place, making it ideal for those with an affinity for lightning.

However, Lightning Isle still falls far behind when compared to the Thunder Giant Mountain Range of Thunder Giant Race—the race with an Inception Legend Rank Alliance Leader, no less!

Furthermore, if the Thunder Giant found out that there was another race other than them that could use lightning or thunder elements, and they were also keeping such a dense lightning-filled land hidden from them, it would not end well for the Lightning Elf Race.

Their reason for them to remain hidden all this time despite their prowess also happened to be because of the Thunder Giants!

In the center of the lightning isle was a village of lightning elves. Houses were made of huge purple trees with white thunder-like markings, and many rope bridges connected these houses and trees like a highway.

In the center of this down-to-nature place was a colossal tree, and on this tree was the largest house present in this village because it was the house of the Chief of Lightning Elves.

At this moment, sitting inside this house were two purple-skinned elves playing a chess game; one elf appeared to be in his late thirties and had a handsome appearance, while the other elf was like an old man in his early sixties, and both resembled each other greatly.

But the resemblance didn't just end with their facial features, in fact, the shrewdness and intelligence in their eyes were almost identical. Upstodatee from n(0)/ve/lbIn/.(co/m

Nelsen pursed his lips as he clearly didn't like Vincent calling Ellie an absolute moron in roundabout ways. But he knew Ellie's shortcomings even better than Vincent, and what Vincent just said wasn't a lie either.

"Just leave her alone. I'm not like you, who wants his child to be a tool for his own ambition. For me, as long as she can live happily by doing anything she wants, I'll be content, and as a parent, it's my duty to make sure to correct her mistakes and protect her from any danger, even if it means sacrificing my pride, even my life is too cheap compares to hers." He didn't have any shred of mischief when he said those words, and he was solemn!

Vincent looked deeply into Nelsen's determined, unwavering eyes and sighed ruefully again, "I know I haven't done a good job as a father after your mother passed away, but that doesn't mean I consider you a tool for my ambition. And I can imagine why you feel like that.

"Heh, I guess we never even talked like this before, have we?" Vincent chuckled in a self-deprave manner.

Nelsen's expression became grave when he saw Vincent behaving like a gambler who had lost everything and was now seeking redemption. He instantly sensed something was amiss with Vincent.

"Old ghost, be honest with me! Is there a problem even you can't solve? Tell me. We might have our differences, but I can still help you. After all, even if I hate to admit it, we are still family!"

Vincent remained silent for a while before his lips rose in a faint smile, which sent a shiver down Nelson's spine because he didn't remember the last time Vincent had that kind of smile on his face. He had a very bad feeling about this.

Vincent finally spoke at this moment, "Since you said that it's a parent's duty to protect their children and defend them even if they make a grave mistake. Now, I wonder if the child would have the same sense of responsibility if the parents ended up making such mistakes?"

"Enough with your riddles! Just come clean with me. What the hell did you do?" Nelson barked with a hint of agitation.

Nelsen didn't like the look in Vincent's eyes because he knew that if someone like Vincent was saying he made a mistake, then this matter was huge—so huge that it might involve the entire Unique Plains!
