Chapter 2785 Farce
Patriarch Godlen didn't know what to think or what to say. The family had grown so fast in recent years that he didn't think that Leonel would be a worry. His only personal hope was that he could save his daughter one day, but he also knew that it wasn't yet time to leave.
What he never expected was that there'd be a day when Leoenl actually came to him instead of the other way around.
"Oh? Not fighting anymore?" Leonel blinked innocently.
The rage in the Patriarch's chest almost bubbled over. That toying expression reminded him of what Leonel had done to them the last time they saw him. Not only had he managed to steal their most important techniques, but he had even escaped right from under their noses as though their defenses were worth nothing at all.
They had been led by the nose by a mere Fifth Dimensional...
Patriarch Godlen froze. Why was Leonel still in the Fifth Dimension? No, it felt so much deeper despite the fact he was still in Tier 1... it didn't make any sense.
How could he know that the Leonel he knew was actually in the Third Dimension, not the Fifth? While this was truly the Fifth Dimension for Leonel...
The shock was enough to leave him crippled for a moment.
"Alright, since you don't want to fight, we don't have to. If I'm honest, I'm not really in a fighting sort of mood right now, and you're also not really worth my spear," Leonel spoke candidly. "I'm here for one reason and one reason only.
"Your Godlen family is a convenient jump off point. The human race is a collection of loose sand right now and I, quite frankly, don't have the patience to organize it all. The Cult is finished, the Four Great Families are gone, the Dream Pavilion is under my control. The source of this content no/v(el)bi((n))
"So honestly speaking, there's just you left."
Leonel raised his spear and rested it on his shoulder, his tone remaining casual.
Leonel's frown deepened. He ignored everyone else and continued staring intently at this woman.
No, she wasn't a Wise Star Order, but she was something similar, almost like Cindra who was a Snow Star Order, but she wasn't that either.
In fact, Leonel didn't feel that she was part of the Northern Star Lineage Factor at all, but part of something else entirely.
'Something else?'
Leonel's gaze flashed as he suddenly recalled something. The Constellation Families.
As a layman, Leonel didn't understand what was special about the Constellation Families. Other than finding it weird that the Morales took so long to form one when much weaker families already had them, he didn't really give it a second thought.
But after seeing much more of the world, if he went back and tried to retrofit those beliefs into this world... they didn't coincide at all.
He had yet to see a single other Race or family with a Constellation... so was it really so normal? Or was it the other way around?
If the Fawkes went to the Incomplete World to survive, then could it be that there were others like them, looking for the same chance at survival?
Was that what he was missing this entire time? Was it a mistake to give them such an opportunity to grow?
Leonel's lip curled. He raised his spear from his shoulder, and pointed it not toward Patriarch Godlen, but his wife.
"If I beat the strongest person here, we can skip this farce, right?"
