Chapter 490: Family Reunion(2)

"I'm Ethan, the child of Neo and Aria Shadowcrest. My father said to play with you," Ethan introduced himself.

However, instead of getting an answer, he was greeted by Lance's silce as he continued to swing his sword, ignoring Ethan's presce.

"Hello, I'm talking to you. Are you still conscious?" Ethan said lazily.

"Step aside and wait for me to finish my training," Lance finally answered, seeing the annoying Ethan.

"Okay~"

A few hours later, Lance carelessly shook the sleeping Ethan.

"Wake up; we still have a lot to do."

"What?! I just got here; let me rest."

"Uncle Neo trusted you to me, so you better list," Lance said solemnly.

"Tsk, fine, where are we going?"

"To the castle."

As they walked a the castle, Ethan had a lazy and disdainful look.

He had be born in a Tier dimsion of one of the top forces in the world.

All he had se and expericed were the pinnacle of existce in the Aeon Plane.

Looking at the shabby castle, Ethan grew a little impatit.

"Unimpressed?" Lance asked knowingly.

The castle was made tirely of Tier 9 and materials.

Compared to the Eternal Sect, which lavishly used Tier materials, the castle seemed shabby.

"Yes. Can't we just sleep? You don't have to waste your time on me."

"Your ignorant thoughts are a shame to the Shadowcrest family. You should look at the essce of things, not just their outward appearance," Lance muttered, flicking his head.

"What?" Ethan shouted in pain, glaring angrily at Lance.

"Look a, and don't just focus on the materials it's made of. Don't be impatit and arrogant."

"What is there to see in this shabby castle?"

As Ethan looked a, he suddly froze in shock.

"Is this an intersecting Tier 9 Array?! Furthermore, there's no error or discrepancy. What a work of art! How is this ev possible?"

An intersecting array connects one array to another, compounding its power beyond limits.

Normally, the higher the array, the harder it is to link them together.

Ev in the Eternal Sect, he had only se 3-5 intersecting Tier arrays.

But now, looking at the infinite number of micro-arrays plastered all over the walls, he couldn't help but be amazed.

"This is just the outer wall. If you go to the core of the castle, you'll find Tier intersecting arrays."

"Who created this? Such a masterpiece, I want to learn!" Ethan said excitedly.

"This is the work of grandfather, the foundation of our family."

Maximus had worked hard to rovate the castle where his family lived.

Besides the external walls made of mixed Tier 9 and materials, the core of the castle was made of rare Tier materials.

Fortunately, seeing Alice didn't get angry, he heaved a sigh of relief.

"I'm Alice Elfalhn. As Mr. Lux said, we are merely business partners, nothing more," Alice said with a touch of coldness.

"Is that so? Th please forgive our rudess. We thought you were Lux's partner since this is a family gathering." Liam said solemnly, not caring about Alice's idtity.

This was a family gathering, not a business matter.

Looking at Lux, he coldly signaled for him to sd off the guest.

"Brother... Alice is from the Elfalhn race. Don't be rude."

The Elfalhn race was one of the top families in the Aeon Plane, second only to the top sects.

The Elfalhn race was ranked among the top families due to their unique structure.

Born from the Ancestral World Tree, they shared the same origin, like a family.

Hearing his brother's words, Lux's heart nearly stopped, fearing he had offded Alice.

And as for the gossip about him chasing Alice?

What a joke! Lux's heart was only set on making money.

No matter how beautiful or rich a woman was, it wouldn't move him.

Unfortunately, this Alice was a bit pushy, wanting to visit the Etherium Realm, she threated him using her family's influce.

"I don't care. This is a family gathering—no outsiders allowed!" Liam insisted.

The others also lost their playful attitudes, looking at Lux with displeasure.

Seeing not ev a hint of romantic interest in Lux's eyes, they confirmed that they were merely business partners.

"Are you sure you want to kick me out?" Alice muttered, looking at them emotionlessly.

"We apologize, but this is a family gathering, and we cannot mix it with outside matters," Liam repeated firmly.

What about the Elfalhn race? So what if they offded a top family?

Their brother and sister's connections were no joke.

Each of them was equivalt to a preparatory saint, just shy of becoming sect successors. How could a mere top family intimidate them?

Lux was just too timid, afraid that it would affect his business dealings.

But they didn't care about money; they would rather see Lux bankrupt than let their family gathering be disturbed.

If Maximus knew about this, he wouldn't care either.

With his strgth and his relationship with Iris, aside from the overlords, there wasn't anyone he feared.

Unfortunately, Maximus was busy working on deducing the tier liquid solution with his wives, so he couldn't scold Lux himself.

Seeing the resolve in his brothers' eyes, Lux smiled helplessly, preparing to sd Alice away.

"Miss Alice, I apologize... It seems you'll have to visit the Etherium Realm another time..."

"No!" Alice frowned, thinking deeply.

The Ancestral World Tree had be urging her to come to the Etherium Realm repeatedly.

At first, she didn't understand why, but now, stepping foot in the Etherium Realm, it seemed something important to the Elfalhn race was about to be born here.

"Miss Alice, I—" Before Lux could finish speaking, Alice firmly grabbed his hand.

"Ar't we boyfrid and girlfrid? That means I'm part of the family too!"
