Cultivation Through Artifacts

Anred listened to the story from his subordinate with a stiff complexion, his thoughts obvious to both Edvin and the man who talked with a back now completely soaked with cold sweat.

"A-And this is all we know so far from the recordings... We already organized and sent several groups in the hope to find the Young Master, but it seems he left Moon City to who knows where. His current location is unknown."

Anred remained silent for an entire minute before the marble floor below his feet cracked and turned into small debris in no time at all!

"I don't care if it means to dig the whole Southern Continent up, I want my son back! As for that man, send the Shadows to find him and bring him back here!"

"Y-Yes my Lord!" the subordinate quickly turned around and ran out of the room, leaving alone the now angered Anred and the calm, but sharp-looking Edvin.

Sometime later, Edvin placed the glass of wine onto the table next to him before he stood up and said, "I will go too and search for your son."

"No, there is no need. You go and find that bastard." gritted his teeth Anred before continuing, "Even though the Shadows are exceptionally the best at searching and finding individuals, I feel like they still won't be able to find him so go and help them."

"But..."

Anred quickly waved his hand and said, "Just don't ask any questions and go. I give you full control over this matter and even get temporary authority over the resources. Use them as you wish."

When Edvin heard this his eyes brightened immediately before his expression turned back to serious once again and nodded.

"You can be sure, even if that is the last thing I do, I will find him! However, if it turns out the individual is a powerful expert that not even I can excel, what should I do?"

Anred snorted coldly and glanced at Edvin with a sharp glare before saying, "Then you are free to kill it. However, I hardly believe anyone except 'those two' has the capability to rival you in strength and Talent. But, we have talked enough! Now go!"

Edvin nodded and after bowing at Anred he left the room with wide strides.

And once only he remained in the room, the anger that was surpassed all this time in his heart now broke forth, sending the table and the chairs flying through the room while the floor and even the walls showed wide and deep cracks!

"I swear if anything happened with him, you will regret even the day you have came onto this world!"

Inside Moon City, Khal walked inside a small tavern where he unsummoned his armor before waiting for a while and leaving with a complexion that he wore an extremely long time ago; real and pure happiness!

'The weather is particularly good today, isn't it?' Khal thought with a wide grin, almost like he just woke up after a deep slumber only to find out he won the lottery.

After gazing at the clear sky for a while, Khal decided to get something to eat, but before that, he walked back to the place where Liza was practicing.

However, the moment he reached the lake, he found out that this time Liza was not alone as a guy with average facial features stood beside her, talking at her like they were friends for years. He even tried to touch her shoulder several times, but as Liza always avoided his attempts, he was unable to, but it didn't seem he minded it at all.

'Who the hell is he?' Khal narrowed his eyes and walked toward Liza, who was obviously in discomfort around the guy.

"Haha, so then I have killed this extremely powerful Beast that was on the Fifth Cultivation Stage where I almost lost my li-, huh?"

The guy suddenly stopped talking as he felt a hand on his shoulder, but instead of turning around to see who it was he frowned with irritation and say, "Look man, I don't know what you want, but if its nothing then you can scr-"

"Khal!"

Liza, who seemed to be bored to death suddenly turned one hundred and eighty in behavior and run past the guy to stand before Khal, which surprised the guy quite a lot but still frowned and murmured, "Khal? Why does that name sound so familiar?"

And after the next instant, the guy's eyes widened, and said, "Wait! Don't tell me!"

Turning around, the guy looked at Khal and the moment he recognized Khal his face paled and said, " I-I am sorry. I just remembered I have a few things to do!"

With that, the guy ran away like he just saw a ghost and got scared, causing Khal to raise his brow in confusion.

"Who was that guy? I don't seem to recognize him, yet he acts like I was some kind of serial killer."

Liza rolled her eyes as she watched the guy's figure vanishing at the corner before saying, "That guy is always here and tries to talk with me, hoping to get close to me, particularly in the past few days. Luckily you came just in time or I didn't know what would I have done with him."

Khal shifted his gaze at Liza who sighed with relief, like someone who just was saved from a stalker, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Well, at least he won't bother you for the time being, but still, why did he seem so scared?"

When Liza heard the question she glanced at Khal with a slightly raised brow and asked, "You really don't know?"

"Huh? Know what?" Khal asked Liza, seemingly confused as he didn't have the slightest clue why the guy feared him like that.

Liza remained silent for quite a while and could only sigh and say, "Your graduation... Everyone learned about it already so it's not a surprise he was scared. Everyone would be scared of a Cultivator that successfully reached the Sixth Cultivation Stage in just a few months! In their eyes, you are a freaking monster disguised as a human!"
