Chapter 544: The Night Of Invasion [Part 2]



Shin stared up, paralyzed as the people from the airship slid down the ropes like agile snakes.

The moment their feet touched the ground, they did not attack. Instead, they fell into rehearsed lines.

Their movements were sharp and unwasteful in any manner. Both to the right and to the left, they all began to shoot in directions and stand erect like poles.

In an instant, the compound of the governor's mansion was filled with people in black uniforms.

Alystren looked at all of them, his face etched with contemplative confusion. Several beads of sweat had formed and were rolling down his cheeks. Some were too paralyzed to even move. Then something fell off the airship, causing a tremendous reaction. The entire earth shook as if a boulder the size of the airship had just been thrust into the ground with the force of a colossal titan.

He stood frozen, feeling his body vibrate vividly the moment the earthquake happened.

Shin instinctively took several steps... it was a single leap. He was far away from where he and Alystren were standing.

The old joker was too gripped by fear to move. His mind shattered, each piece racing in a thousand thought patterns.

And he could only arrive at a single conclusion of the presence that he was feeling.

"It can't be, it can't be, it can't be, it can't be," Alystren muttered like a man whose screws had been loosened barely by the cold hands of fear.

Shin's hand was on the hilt of his sword, but he couldn't dare to draw. All his experience and instincts allied to make him understand...

...that in a moment like this, he could die with a single misstep.

'First of all, I don't even know what the person wants. It will be best to just stay still for now. Because... this presence... I am sure about it. He's a Paragon!'

In the sinking silence of the evening, the steps resounded out of the cloud of dust that the tumultuous landing had caused.

The man walking out of the cloud had a scar on one of his eyes. A black military coat fluttered on his shoulder, and one of his hands rested on his sword while the other held a large blunt.

He stopped in his tracks and put the blunt in his mouth for a moment, exuding a thick and oppressing cloud of smoke from his mouth as he took it out.

Then he examined the person standing in front of him with a small interest in his eyes.

"Oh? You dog. What are you doing here?"

Despite being insulted nakedly, Alystren did not seem to want to retaliate. Instead, he forced out a smile.

"Lieutenant, you've changed since the last time I saw you... What are you doing in the governor's house with so many forces?"

The Lieutenant took another satisfying smoke of his blunt and looked at Alystren for a moment. Then his eyes drifted off Alystren to Shin-who was still in stance, ready to pull his sword at any moment.

The Lieutenant raised a brow.

"Fascinating. That black hair and red eyes. Undoubtedly Kageyama Clan. Since they are an introverted lot, I presume it's the infamous rogue child. Younger brother of the Patriarch, Shin Kageyama."

Whoosh

The Lieutenant's eyes were unchanged by his subordinate's plea.

Instead, they looked bored and displeased, their depths filled with hubris.

His eyes gained a little light as a powerful step began to resound and cause the whole place to

quake gently.

The gigantic master of the mansion finally revealed himself, his daughter standing right

beside him.

Every corner of his body brimmed with so much pronounced power that the mobs dared not approach even the lady walking next to him.

He finally stopped a few tens of steps away from the Lieutenant, was silent for a moment before his resonating voice could be heard.

"Dante. You have always been too bright a kid. I am not surprised that you are the one staging

this rebellion."

"Of course you are not," the Lieutenant sounded with a little glee.

"After all, you were the one who inspired this idea in me."

"You are ignorant. And the only thing that bestows children that are ignorant is despair,

failure, destruction."

"As expected of my mentor, still finding the moment to give me a lecture even at a time like

this."

He dropped the fat blunt in his hand, killing its smoke with a soft step.

"You know what I am here for. Your death will announce my intention loud and clear to the

higher-ups."

"Fool," the governor's voice resounded with the weight of an immense boulder.

But the Lieutenant continued, his voice intrigued.

"If I get defeated here, I will have no complaints. It means this revolution, the new age of the continent that I have always envisioned, was never bound to happen." His voice lingered for a

bit.

Then a dangerous white light burned in his eyes as he continued.

"If I win, however, this is the beginning of my conquest. The entire continent will be crumbled and rebuilt by I, Dante Gafarè, the only descendant of the great revolutionary, Accentalles Gafarè!!"
