Chapter 476: The Drive To Kill Rughsbourgh



After hearing the words, Shin froze for a few seconds, not entirely sure how to respond. His mind ran helter-skelter.

'My son is a Master?! He has caught up with me in soul rank?! Shit, that woman wasn't overselling what she said during the meeting.'

Shin paled as the seconds went by; he was at least distracted from the shrewd coldness that Northern exuded.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Are you there, father?" Despite already knowing, Northern inquired.

Shin raised his head to look at Northern, a slight frown falling upon his face.

"What? You can't..."

Northern smiled and took the statement out of Shin's mouth with ease.

"Yes, I can't see. I have temporarily been rendered blind. Sucks, but I'm sure I'll gain sight soon. But until then, I think I'll need you."

Shin rushed to the opportunity, hurriedly responding, "Of course, of course, son. You should need me."

He cautiously neared Northern and took his hands. Shin reflexively dropped Northern's hand, looking at him with a puzzled frown.

"What is wrong?" Northern asked, worried at how his father had reacted just now.

"Your temperature is very cold. Very, very cold," Shin emphasized.

Northern's expression became confused despite his closed eyes.

'It has something to do with my new body definitely...'

He said to Shin, "I'm not sure what it is for now... I can only hope I regain my eyesight as fast as possible."

Shin took his hand, silent about its coldness since he was expecting it this time around.

With his help and guidance, Northern made it out of the building.

As they came out, Annette, Ellis, and Vida rushed to them, showering him with all kinds of questions.

Meanwhile, Helena stood afar, with Zephyr beside her.

"I thought you were quite close with them."

Helena glanced at her side and focused on Northern and the people that gathered around him.

"Well, as you said, I was... I am more of a Raven person than a Northern person."

Zephyr smirked, "Do you hate that you are?"

"No. Not at all. I don't. I did regret some things I said to him, how I treated him. I was rash and judgmental, but Raven had more guts than Northern did... she was courageous in ways that he couldn't be. Call me insane, but she's a leader."

"Looks to me like you're wishing that you had been a little bit nicer to this Northern at least."

Northern frowned in frustration, lingering before he responded.

"Sadly, no," his voice came with a dejected tone.

"And you have really had no idea what could be happening?"

Northern had told Annette and anyone who knew that he did not know what was happening because he didn't want them to know he had ocular powers.

And he wanted to keep it that way.

The only suspicion he had was the fact that Chaos Eyes tried to absorb Eyes of Intent.

That most likely would have caused some complications. But if he was right, Void had also absorbed talent abilities.

'I feel so messed up right now...'

So much disorganization had happened to him, and he had no idea where to start picking up the pieces; at the same time, he felt like when he gained his sight back, other things would fall

in place.

Annette looked at him for a few seconds and then spoke.

"I came to tell you that I will be leaving tomorrow."

Northern looked at her and smiled after a few beats.

"Will you be meeting your family after so long?"

Annette chuckled immediately, "Family? Really? Did you ever hear such from me?"

Northern shrugged, "I wouldn't be surprised if you had a daughter from a one-night stand."

Annette narrowed her eyes, "One-night stand? I don't know what that is, but guessing that people get daughters from it, there can't be any good to it."

Her voice ceased, and she shook her head dejectedly before continuing, "The one thing I hate

the most is childbirth."

She took another brief pause, breathing before she continued, her face contorting sternly.

"The moment Gilbert, Myu, Ayu, and I step out of this place, there is a high chance that Rughsbourgh will approach us."

At the mention of the name, Northern suddenly felt all his calm spirit rise; simultaneously, he flung his eyes open out of reflex, but to his surprise, the view of the room easily manifested

before his sight.

Annette reared her head back in shock; she was silent and blinking for a couple of seconds

before she commented.

"You really must be dying to kill him..."

Northern's eyes gleamed with primal evil. "You have no idea."
