My Celestial Ascension

Chapter 79 Face To Face With The Lewis Family

As the crowd continued to grow in size, their whispers filled the air with a mix of curiosity and alarm. The sound reached the ears of Viscount Ethan Lewis, his wife Elisabeth, and their son Jayden, who had just stepped out of their carriage. Elisabeth, her brow furrowed with concern, turned her attention to the commotion.

"What's happening over there? Why is there such a large crowd gathered?" she asked, her voice laced with worry.

Viscount Lewis followed his wife's gaze and observed the growing throng of people. His eyes narrowed in confusion as he tried to decipher the reason for the gathering.

"I have no idea," he replied, his voice tinged with curiosity. "It seems something significant has occurred, but I can't discern the details from here."

Turning to his trusted butler, Josh, who stood nearby, Viscount Lewis issued a command. "Josh, go and find out what's happening over there. I want to know the cause of this commotion and why such a crowd has gathered."

Butler Josh, a loyal and efficient servant, responded promptly. "As you wish, my lord," he said with a bow. Understanding the urgency, he made his way through the crowd, maneuvering with ease as he approached the epicenter of the disturbance.

The onlookers shifted and made way for the butler, whispering among themselves as they recognized his affiliation with the esteemed Viscount Lewis. Their curious eyes followed his progress, eager to glean any information he might uncover.

Butler Josh skillfully made his way to the front of the crowd, his presence commanding respect. He surveyed the scene before him, taking in the sight of the lifeless bodies and the young man standing amidst the carnage. Conversations hushed as the crowd anticipated his report.

Minutes later, Josh returned to the side of Viscount Lewis and his family, his face filled with a mixture of shock and apprehension. He quickly relayed the details of what he had witnessed, his voice carrying the weight of his discoveries.

"My lord, it is a gruesome sight," Josh began, his voice tinged with urgency. "There are multiple corpses strewn across the ground, and a young man stands amidst them, wielding a massive sword. It appears that he single-handedly dispatched a group of soldiers. The crowd is in shock and awe, questioning the young man's identity and the extent of his power."

Viscount Lewis and his family exchanged glances, their expressions a mix of surprise and intrigue. Elisabeth, her voice laced with curiosity, asked, "Who is this young man? How did he acquire such strength?"

Josh, still visibly shaken by the sight, replied, "I am not certain, my lady. The crowd is abuzz with speculation. Some whisper that he may be a hero, while others deem him a monster. His display of power has left them in awe."

Viscount Lewis pondered the information, his mind racing with possibilities. "This is an unexpected turn of events," he mused. "We must proceed with caution. The arrival of this unknown force may have implications for our plans."

Elisabeth and Jayden exchanged apprehensive glances, their curiosity mingling with a sense of unease.

Jayden, fueled by curiosity and a sense of adventure, spoke up eagerly. "Father, let's go and have a look at what's happening! I want to see it with my own eyes." His youthful enthusiasm shone through his words, eager to witness the unfolding events.

Elisabeth, Jayden's mother, nodded in agreement, her curiosity mirroring that of her son. "You're right, Jayden. It's just a few steps away, and it won't hurt to satisfy our curiosity. Let's go and see what this commotion is all about."

Viscount Lewis, taking his wife's words into consideration, turned his attention to Butler Josh, their trusted advisor. "Butler Josh, inform the people to clear the road. We intend to make our way to the scene and observe firsthand."

Butler Josh, always attentive to his lord's commands, bowed respectfully. "As you wish, my lord. Please follow me." With that, he led the way, skillfully maneuvering through the crowd while ensuring a clear path for the Viscount and his family.

The 50 mages, who had accompanied the Lewis family, followed closely behind, their expressions a mix of intrigue and caution. They understood the importance of remaining vigilant and ready to protect their noble family should the need arise.

As they made their way through the crowd, the atmosphere was thick with anticipation. Whispers and murmurs filled the air, as onlookers recognized the Viscount and his family, their gazes shifting from the bloody scene to the nobles approaching.

Viscount Lewis surveyed the scene with a mixture of intrigue and concern. He observed the young man standing amidst the fallen, his grip firm on the massive sword that had become the focal point of the gathering. The air crackled with an unspoken tension as the Viscount and his family approached, the onlookers parting to make way.

As Viscount Lewis, his wife Elizabeth, and their son Jayden arrived at the bloody scene, the tension in the air became palpable. Yuan, accompanied by his two mothers Anna and Grace, his elder sister Lily, and his two beloveds, noticed the noble family's presence. 

Anna's voice dripped with disdain as she spoke to Yuan, "The bastard and his family have arrived."

Yuan nodded, his expression filled with determination. "We must stay vigilant and be ready to kill," he replied, his eyes scanning the approaching noble family.

Xi Meili, wearing a mischievous smile, chimed in with an innocent voice. "Don't worry, hubby, I'm always ready to kill for you." Her playful tone contrasted with the seriousness of the situation, but her loyalty to Yuan was evident.

Yuan acknowledged her words with a nod, his gaze fixed on the Viscount's family. With a wide grin on his face, he muttered to himself, "Since you're here, don't blame me for killing you guys."

Meanwhile, Jayden's eyes caught sight of a familiar figure amidst the chaos. His body trembled with anger, and all the frustration he had built up inside him burst forth. Shouting in a mix of anger and desperation, he exclaimed, "He's the one! Father, mother, he's the one who did this to me!"

Viscount Lewis and his wife Elizabeth frowned, taken aback by their son's outburst. They turned their gaze towards Yuan, who stood proudly amidst the lifeless bodies, his grip firm on the massive sword. The scene before them was a brutal testament to Yuan's power.

Seeking confirmation, Viscount Lewis looked at his son and asked, "Is he the one responsible for this?"

Jayden, pointing his finger accusingly at Yuan and his wives, affirmed, "Yes! He's the one who did this to me. And those beautiful women standing there? They're his family."

All eyes turned towards where Jayden was pointing, and they beheld a group of five stunningly beautiful women, their cold expressions adding an air of mystery and allure. They seemed to radiate an otherworldly beauty that momentarily captivated the onlookers, leaving them spellbound.

Coming out of their daze, Viscount Lewis couldn't help but be amazed by the women's extraordinary beauty. Inwardly, he marveled at their ethereal presence, understanding why his son had been captivated by them. Their allure surpassed anything he had seen before.

Elizabeth, however, couldn't contain her disbelief. She seethed with anger at the sight of such exquisite beauty in this rundown town. 

Her sadistic side emerged as she thought to herself, "How can there be such beautiful women here? I want to skin them alive!" Her voice carried a tone of malice and a thirst for revenge.

As Jayden witnessed his parents' dumbfounded expressions, his desperation and anger reached a boiling point. Shouting at his father, he declared, "Father, I want to kill that bastard with my own hands! I want to make him suffer!"

Viscount Lewis, hearing the desperation in his son's voice, felt a surge of fury towards Yuan and his family. He locked eyes with Yuan and asked with seething anger, "Are you the one who beat my son and rendered him impotent?"

Yuan chuckled, and a wide smile spread across his face. He stole a glance at Jayden, relishing in the moment, and replied, "Indeed, I'm the one who beat the shit out of your son in broad daylight, right in front of everyone. So what?"

Hearing Yuan's response, Viscount Lewis exclaimed in anger, "Presumptuous!" He continued with a furious tone, "Don't you know that Jayden is Viscount Ethan, my high-ranking noble's son?"

Yuan's two mothers, Anna and Grace, his elder sister Lily, and his two beloveds, Emma and Xi Meili, couldn't help but chuckle at Yuan's bold response to Viscount Lewis.

Infuriated by the insolence displayed before them, Viscount Lewis turned to his mages and commanded them in an angry tone, "Mages, capture this insolent brat and his family members! Bring them here so my son can take his revenge himself."

The mages, obedient to their lord's command, moved toward Yuan and his wives, preparing to apprehend them. 

Jayden, observing this unfold, burst into laughter and shouted with a loud voice, "Bastard, now you will pay for what you have done to me. I will ensure that you suffer, and I will make your family members my personal sex slaves!"
