As he spoke, the Guardian of Mount Kush walked toward the window and pulled open the curtains.
The pale sunshine shone in and brightened up the room.
Sheldon gazed at him, and a cold chill ran down his spine.
Formerly, his master could not bear the sight of any light source. Even the dimmest light would torture him and
make him howl in agony.
Yet, to Sheldon's surprise, his master was looking straight into the sun currently.
What does this mean? This clearly shows that Master has improved in his strength and power. He's the real deal
now! The Mitxel family? Hmph! They are no longer his match.
The Guardian of Mount Kush then looked in the distance and said, “The purple light is rising from the east! Haha!”
Utterly baffled, Sheldon asked carefully, “What do you mean, Master?”
The Guardian of Mount Kush explained, “The bright ray of purple light represents the energy of Fortuna. It forms
Fortuna when enough of it has gathered. Zeke's Linton Group is expanding tremendously, resulting in a favorable
impact on the lives of the Eurasians. Additionally, the Eurasians benefited the most from all the wars and battles
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtpreviously. With Eurasia entering a glorious age, the people are delighted, making them far more united and
motivated. In turn, the rays of purple light are unleashed to maximize the potential of Fortuna. If I'm not mistaken,
this stream of Fortuna will descend on Linton Group this time.”
Yet another stream of Fortuna is yet to come.
Sheldon was still confused. Hence, he asked, “Master, is Fortuna very important to immortals like you?”
The Guardian of Mount Kush nodded in response. “Of course. Mere mortals like you can never understand the
greatness of Fortuna. Let me tell you an example of what it can do at the very least. If you have the chance to
absorb the energy from Fortuna, you will gain the ability to control the nation's fate.”
What?
Sheldon was extremely astounded.
To control the entire nation? Only the president has such power! And this is only the least of what it can possibly do?
The new-found information had Sheldon's heart racing.
The Guardian of Mount Kush glanced at him and remarked contemptuously, “Don't even bother getting any ideas
about Fortuna. Your frail and feeble physique can never withstand its power. Your body might even explode if you
get close to it.”
Upon hearing so, Sheldon was deeply disappointed.
“Let me ask you something, Sheldon. Do the people from Linton Group know your father?” the Guardian asked out
of the blue.
Sheldon found it strange for him to ask such a question.
Anyhow, he still answered patiently, “My father was a legend in his era. However, Linton Group consists mostly of
the younger generations. Therefore, I doubt many of them recognize him.”
“What about Zeke and Lacey? Would they recognize your father?” the Guardian of Mount Kush continued.
Sheldon shook his head. “I don't think so because they haven't met each other before.”
“I see. Good,” commented the Guardian with a nod.
Sheldon was curious. “Master, why do you ask? Do you have a plan in mind?”
The Guardian of Mount Kush hesitated for a moment before replying, “I might as well tell you. I plan to pay Linton
Group a visit.”
Huh?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSurprised, Sheldon asked, “I have a strong suspicion that Zeke is searching high and low for you. Why are you
putting yourself in danger instead of hiding? Aren't you scared of being discovered?”
His words enraged the Guardian, who instantly thrust his palm out. Though he did not physically touch Sheldon, the
force of his strike was so strong that the displaced air sent Sheldon flying a few meters away.
Then, he bellowed in rage, “You seem to be implying that I'm not as powerful as Zeke and that I should avoid him. Is
that it?”
Sheldon was terrified to the core. Ignoring the pain from his body, he quickly pleaded with the Guardian of Mount
Kush, “That's not what I meant, Master! Please trust me, for I didn't mean it that way. You've misunderstood my
intention.”
In actual fact, that was exactly what he was thinking.
If you're better than Zeke, why would you need to hide in a corner? Would you not have initiated a battle to fight
Zeke long ago?
The Guardian of Mount Kush scoffed. “I'm determined to have the Fortuna this time. No matter what, I won't let
Zeke snatch it away! If he devours the Fortuna once again to nurture Ossa Dei, it will eventually turn into Dragon's
Vein. When the Dragon's Vein matures in time, the Kush Clan will...”
