400 Highlander Clan (1/2)

According to the Young City Lord of Sky Blaze City. This place is just one of the vassal forces of a sect called Martial Emperor Sect.

There are numerous sects in the Blue Marble Planet, yet none of them could even compare to the might of the Martial Emperor Sect. As a power that has been established for ten thousand years, the sect has been deeply rooted in this planet.

According to Albert, many have tried to shake the foundations of the sect, yet none manage to succeed. In terms of inheritances, resources, and background, nothing could knock them off of the pedestal. They are the true hegemon of the Blue Marble Planet.

The Highlander Clan, which Albert belongs to, is a clan that has a respectable position in the Martial Emperor Sect. It is safe to say that almost every member of this clan is also a disciple of the Martial Emperor Sect. Sky Blaze City is one of the lands that the sect entrusted them with to develop. This is why Albert was confident that no one could touch him and his friends whenever they're here.

Who would dare to harm the young City Lord of Sky Blaze City? Isn't that the same as courting death?

As they went inside the city, Albert kept rambling on and on, reminding Raven of many things about the Sky Blaze City. Of course, he also introduced the infrastructures and popular places in the city to him.

Eventually, the two arrived at a magnificent palace that seemingly touches the sky. It resided at the very core of the Sky Blaze City, and coincidentally, where the energies are the thickest and purest. Albert faced no obstruction on his way, he was like a young king returning home.

Upon entering the palace, the two of them dismounted. Perry was then handed over to one of the caretakers while Albert invited Raven towards one of the locations within the palace.

”This is my room.” Albert introduced. Raven unknowingly clicked his tongue upon laying eyes on the interiors.

Albert's room was filled with luxurious equipment. Different clubs of shapes and sizes were hanging on the left wall, he had a massive closet filled with expensive clothes. His furniture are made out of top quality materials and Raven also saw many portraits of him and his family. Just this room alone is enough to topple the quality of the Royal Palace back in his home, yet such is only a room for one man.

Raven also saw fruit bowls filled with several spirit fruits, glancing through the window he could see a tree filled with Poms of Vitality. Back in the Grand Ancestral Plane, such fruits are extremely rare. For the Pom of Vitality alone, he had to travel on the other end of the world, and also faced difficult trials to get his hands on one, yet here they're nothing too special, they might as well be considered as some random apples.

The disparity between realms was just too great.

”Don't mind it too much Brother. Half of the things you see inside my room are not mine, they're just gifts from my parents and friends, I didn't achieve them using both of my hands.”

”You saying that makes me even depressed.” Raven chided with a chuckle, making Albert roar in laughter.

”Don't sell yourself short Brother. In the end strength is still the King.” Albert reminded, ”Had my Ancestors decided to live their lives through mediocrity, I would never have the chance to enjoy such lavish lifestyle. Similarly, this also comes with a price. If I want to remain living like this, then I must tread on the path of Knighthood and achieve greater heights. Only by then would I be able to provide for my family.”

”So long as you work hard, these sorts of things aren't impossible to achieve.” Albert patted Raven's shoulders as he said this, it was as if he was treating Raven as his own son, causing the latter to smile wryly.

”Right, on another note.” Albert's expression changed, ”I'm afraid I have to leave you here for a while, I need to report some things to my father. Feel free to use anything here to entertain yourself in the mean time, I'll return here shortly.”

Raven nodded and watched as Albert left the room.

Once he was alone, Raven sighed in relief. His expression then turned serene as he slowly roamed Albert's room with both hands behind his back. His feet eventually came towards the tall bookshelves on the other side of the room. He picked one book out of curiosity and started flipping through its contents.

The title of the book was 'Highlander Clan History', it entails the tale of how the Highlander Clan started. It turns out that the Highlander Clan was almost extinguished once. What's left of them are only a pair of brothers. Even then, that didn't stop them from going against their fate and decided to step on the path of Knighthood.

The elder bother was the only one who was talented enough to make it far, meanwhile the younger brother was not as interested and focused more on running a business. Doing what they do best, the two worked hard to rebuilt the clan. The elder brother eventually gained the recognition of the Martial Emperor Sect and got a respectable position, while the younger brother started his quest to revitalize the clan by marrying one women after another.
