Chapter 284: Congratulations, Kathleen
??
What broke the silence was not a bad thing, but a happy thing.
Kathleen was about to give birth!
In other words, the second Son of Destiny of the Nicholas family clan was about to appear!!
With the shouts from the servants, the entire Nicholas family clan became lively.
There was naturally no panic. The preparations had basically all been done. Soon, the doctor, a group of maids, and a few womenfolk entered the courtyard and got busy in an orderly manner.
Outside the courtyard, everyone from the Nicholas family was waiting for the arrival of a new life.
Caesar looked at the courtyard anxiously, unable to calm down. He naturally knew that all the preparations had been made, and there should not be any problems. But… what if?
The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. He was so nervous that his forehead was sweating profusely.
“Little Uncle, don’t be too nervous. You, a Great Mage, are sweating like a river.” John tried to comfort his same-age elder.
“Come on, Big Brother.” Charles smiled teasingly. “I still remember how nervous you were when Sister-in-law gave birth to Anthony.”
Upon hearing this, everyone beside him laughed.
...
The head of the family, Norton, turned his head and asked, “Caesar, have you and Kathleen thought of a name?”
Caesar nodded gently in response. “I’ve already thought of it. He is to be called Arka.”
“Wow!”
A loud baby cry suddenly sounded from the courtyard, and everyone became happy.

The child had been born!
“Buzz…” At the same time, a phenomenon appeared in the sky. A beam of light seemed to have descended from the grayish-blue night sky and landed by the courtyard!
Everyone was stunned, but they also felt that they had seen it somewhere before.
Several people, including Norton, who had fast reflexes, looked pleasantly surprised and ecstatic!
This was… providence descending from the heavens!
In other words, the Nicholas family clan had another child with the will of the heavens!!
“Hey, look! There’s a star that is especially bright!!”
Upon hearing this exclamation, everyone looked up into the sky. Sure enough, there was an extremely bright star embedded in the night sky, flickering with starlight.
Norton was a magic formation cultivator, so he knew astronomy like the back of his hand. He immediately said in surprise, “That is… the Star of Destiny!”
Upon hearing this, everyone was happy. “This is a good sign! This child will definitely have a smooth journey in the future and make a name for himself!”
At the same time, in the ancestral hall of the Nicholas family.
A series of System notifications sounded in Romo’s sea of consciousness.
[Ding! New addition to the family clan.]
[The family clan has a new descendant with destiny’s luck.]
[The family clan’s luck has increased.]
A newborn with destiny’s luck. It turns out that it also increases the family clan’s luck. This is a pleasant surprise.
[Name: Arca Nicholas]
[Gender: Male. Age: 0 years old. Identity: 17th generation descendant of the Nicholas family clan.]
[Magical Power Level: None. Overall Talent: Excellent (Details)]
[Personal Luck: Son of Destiny.]
[Life Experience (details)]
Romo opened the family genealogy and saw the new member of the family.
The earlier Son-of-Destiny Nurturing Talisman had worked. This child was indeed the will of the heavens, and his overall talent was excellent!
After opening the details page on his comprehensive talent, he raised his eyebrows.
This child’s excellent talent has actually been selected for a career as an official? And his career path as an official will be smooth sailing?
That’s not right… It should be said that as an official, he would be able to exert his destiny’s luck better.
He had never looked at information related to being an official or doing business, let alone add points to these areas. After all, the Nicholas family was a family clan that cultivated magical power. Their main focus was naturally magical power.
However, Arka was the only descendant in the family with the potential for an excellent career. Would he let him embark on the career path of an official in the future?
Currently, Romo did not plan to let the Nicholas family develop in other directions. If there was a chance in the future, perhaps…
It would depend on the situation in the future. It was still too early to plan now, so Romo did not think too much about it.
In any case, the descendants of the Nicholas family did not need to consider their initial talent at all. No matter how low it was, he could use several pieces of Talent Strengthening Talismans to increase the descendants’ talent for magical power cultivation to that of a genius.
… …
The birth of Arka had added a lot of joy to the Nicholas family. Moreover, there were still several pregnant women in the family. They would probably be very happy next.
Everyone in the Nicholas family looked forward to the new additions to the family.
“Another addition to the Nicholas family!”
Such news naturally could not be hidden from the outside world. Many people came over to congratulate them. They basically had other motives and wanted to build a good relationship with the Nicholas family.
Regarding these people who visited without shyness, the head of the family, Norton, rarely went to receive them now. He usually handed them over to Jimmy, Yael, and the others to handle.
Sometimes, Jimmy and Yael could not be bothered to deal with them. They handed them over to the eldest grandson of the head of the family, John.
Apart from the other powerful family clans who had come to get closer to the Nicholas family, there were also retainers who had come to seek refuge.
Currently, the assessment for the retainers was no longer taking the entire day. It had been changed to a one-day affair with a time-limit. The responsibility had basically been handed over to the Great Archmage clansmen, who had a lighter workload.
Of course, if a Great Archmage came to seek refuge with the Nicholas family, the ones who would come out to entertain him would be the clansmen of the same magical power realm.
In addition, after some hesitation, Harris decided to stay in the Nicholas family as a retainer and he had also dragged Leonard along.
Hence, Harris and Leonard became the retainers with the highest levels in the Nicholas family. The former was a top Great Archmage, while the latter was a level-8 Great Archmage.
The entire Nicholas family clan welcomed their stay warmly. At the same time, they made a promise. “Our family clan will not restrict the two of you. If you wish to leave in the future, you are free to pack your bags and leave at any time.”
Of course, these two had special treatment. The other retainers of the Nicholas family would not have it so easy.
If the other retainers who had joined the family clan wished to leave, they would have to obtain the permission of the Nicholas family.
After a few days, the number of people who came to congratulate and seek refuge with the Nicholas family gradually decreased.
In these few days, the Nicholas family had taken in more than 30 Great Magi and three Great Archmagi as their retainers.
These three Great Archmagi had even met Ron and the others previously. Two of them had been saved with Leonard back then, and the other was the person who had been captured by Ron and the others to lead the way to find Leonard and Edward. He was the Mage named Clane.
… …
“Hey, what’s wrong today? It has been a while, and no one came.”
“Isn’t it good that no one came today? Previously, there were waves of congratulations and refuge-seekers. It was even tiring to watch…”
“That’s true. I can finally take a breather.”
At the entrance of the Nicholas family palace, the two guards at the door could not help but chat when they saw that no one had come to visit even though it was already afternoon.
As they were chatting softly, they saw from the corners of their eyes three luxurious carriages coming over.
The luxurious carriages stopped at the entrance of the Nicholas family palace. More than ten people, old and young, alighted. They were all dressed in splendid clothes. From their bearing, they did not look like they were from an ordinary family.
