…

Inside a luxurious manor in Ogden town

Many people are scrambling everywhere as heavily armored men with weapons in their arms began to surround the whole manor.

The security of the manor has been tightened to prevent anything from going inside.

With the cultivation level of 5th Ki fighters, the men look imposing and domineering along with their powerful aura.

"Is that… that person really coming?" someone asked with a worried expression on his face.

"We don't know… But the death of the young master is a big blow to us. This would make the 10th elder be very angry…" a worried steward said with a shaking hand.

The 10th elder is the father of the young master which was killed a while ago.

The name of the young master is Ra Jun… and his father is the 10th elder, Ra Gaofang. The 10th elder, Ra Gaofang, is a 13th level Ki adept and runs a part of the provincial business of the Silver Glade Merchant Company. The Ra family is only a part of the merchant group. But they have their own connection to the kingdom's royalty. Ra Gaofang is actually a distant cousin of the king.

That means… he can control more than 2,000 heavy armed guards of the merchant company.

And under him are some of the external elders in the merchant group. And one of those elders is the 10th level Ki fighter, Elder Ping.

"Do not worry too much… Elder Ping is with us. Once he made his move, then that person who killed the young master would surely die."

As of this moment, the expression of Elder Ping is a bit ugly while looking at the jade communication talisman.

He is currently inside his room in the manor and is in deep thought. He would sometimes frown and sometimes a deep hatred could be seen in his face.

After a while, a sneer appears on his face while looking at the jade talisman.

"It has been a while… I have been waiting for this moment… Hehe… At last, you finally have died." He muttered with a slightly crazed expression on his face.

Suddenly, his expression turned a bit sad as if he suddenly remembers something.

"Tin'er… You… you've been avenged at last…" he muttered while caressing the communication jade which is already cracked.

These types of communication jade are one-time use only. Due to the Ki energy used by the jade, it could only be used once and it would be destroyed. It is not a common item in the kingdom as its manufacturing is very expensive and costly.

Only those important people could have it… and since the Silver Glade Merchant group is a large group, their important people carry such a thing for emergency use only.

At this time… images of Elder Ping's daughter suddenly came running to his mind.

His lovely daughter Tin'er was the love of his life. Ever since she was born, it did not last long before his wife mysteriously died. He just discovered that his wife is actually giving her life force to his daughter just for her to be able to live.

Since he is always away because of business, he did not know that such a thing is happening. So when his daughter was born, he did not blame her because he knew that his wife gave her life in exchange for their daughter.

He pampered and gave her everything he could. And soon, she grew up to be a beautiful young woman. Because of this, he decided to hide the identity of his daughter from the prying eyes of the sons of the other elders in the group.

But who would have known that the profligate son the 10th elder would accidentally turn his eyes towards his daughter when he accidentally saw her in the capital one day.

His daughter did not agree with this, and from then on, everyone discovered that he has a beautiful young daughter. Plus it was discovered that his daughter has a talent as a runemaster. And because of this, it causes his family to be in the sight of the upper echelon of the merchant group.

Many wanted to arrange marriage, but Elder Ping denied them all. How could he send his lovely daughter in the fangs of those wolves?

Everyone became angry at him because of this.

But who would have known that the son of Ran Gaofang would suddenly kidnap his daughter? They denied it, and no one wanted to testify, no one wanted to talk. Then 3 days later, his daughter came back, and yet he knew that something is wrong… she seems lifeless, gloomy, and depressed.

She would always cry on her own, she would not show it, but he knew… he knew.

Then one day, Ran Jun proposes once again marriage and his daughter agrees. And the marriage happened between Ran Jun and his daughter. But he knew that something is really wrong. But he could not do anything about it. Always blames himself as a useless father. But his daughter told him that he is not. She told him that he is the best in the whole kingdom.

In that instant, he seems to have seen his once lively daughter coming back.

At that time, he thought that all is well…

Until a month after the marriage, he received the news that his daughter took her own life.

He was devastated… He was angry… but could not do anything about it.

The Ra family is very strong and powerful. And since he became a part of their family, he could not do anything about what happened to his daughter. He could only hold it in his heart and would always ask for forgiveness.

And through the years, it made his anger, his sinister plots, and his craziness boil into something ugly and horrible.

As he looks at the jade pendant, his expression warped into that which resembles a demon. The dark aura in his body began to coagulate creating something horrifying.

His Ki began to consume him… his soul became darker as if his inhibition was finally released as it consumed his whole being.

"I'm ready to die… now… Tin'er… Wait for me… father is coming…" he said as a burst of energy began to boil out of his own body.

Bang!!!

Suddenly, a thunderous noise echoed from the manor.

It seems to have awoken something from deep within him.

"Father… it's not time yet…" a voice echoed in his head which made him stagger as he stopped what he was doing.

"Tin… Tin'er… is that you?" he muttered as he looks around.

Clang! Clang!

Arrrgghh!!!

Nooo!!!

The sound of sword clashing and the cry of the people inside the manor echoed in the air. And this has already alerted the town's guards patrolling the area.

"Father… avenge me. I want the Ra family…" the voice in his head whispered.

Elder Ping shakes his head as a crazy smile appears on his face. Then he suddenly stood up and looking outside the window, he suddenly jumps out and vanished into the horizon.

That night, the whole manor was bathed in blood.

The whole town was abuzz by this story, and what baffled the people on the streets is that… the people from the Silver Glade Merchant group have a powerful 10th level elder. However, that elder did not make his move that night when the whole group was massacred.

Plus the people who did this seem to have suddenly vanished in thin air. It was as if nothing had happened.

And not only that…

They heard that the Xin manor in the outskirts of the town was also attacked.

People began to fear that these attacks would continue.

Ogden town is a border town of the kingdom of Jimal. If large killings happen in this town, the eyes of the people and the nearby villages would suddenly turn to the borders where the neighboring kingdom of Glysko is.

While this is happening, the main culprit of such an event is currently walking to school.

Xin Ja felt a bit at ease after discovering a great secret in the family.

Plus he has met the cousin of his father that night which made him feel a bit happy. It seems that not everyone in the Xin family is actually bad. At least his uncle is a good guy…

But what made Xin Ja feel a bit depressed is his lack of empathy for those who have died. He tried to hide it and tried to show sadness, but he could not. It was as if he did not feel anything for those guards and servants that have died.

Actually, it was Yao Xue who told him this. She noticed that Xin Ja seems to lack the feeling of empathy for those who have died.

While walking to the academy Xin Ja could not help but think about what she told him that night. But then his mind suddenly stopped thinking about that when he looks at the large poster on the board on the academy's entrance gate.

When he saw what was written on it he suddenly frowns.

Written on the post that… in a month from now, a trial War Game is going to happen between Ogden academy and one of the schools from the town of Yanzing, the Skymountain School.
