Chapter 4: Stormy Days at the Castle (3)

“I do not know either”

Jin responded in a calm tone

“You don’t know?”

Cyron raised his head He hadn’t expected this reply fro satisfactory answers all this time

“Yes, father This power isn’t aura, so I’ain, the flow of the conversation had been predicted by Jin He had shown a child-like innocence on purpose, just like he had done earlier

Swoosh

The sound of flaenerated a handful of dark energy atop his palm It was the power he had used to puained this power, Spiritual Power, through his contract with Solderet, the God of Shadows Despite acting like an ignorant child, Jin knew better than anyone what this poas

He also knew that Cyron would recognize this power

“May I request father to give this power a na eyes

Cyron’s jaw dropped for the first time since he reached the deht…

‘Lord Solderet…’

He finally ed to shut his ulped

Could it be that this child was the reincarnation of the clan’s founder and first patriarch? Such questions went through his ht to hi that all the icians of the world yearn for

However, Cyron and Jin were both aware of a different truth

Originally, Solderet didn’t specialize inakin to a God of Swords Moreover, 1000 years ago, he had made a contract with the clan’s founder and had protected the Runcandels for years

‘I thought that he had abandoned the clan ever since the founder passed away, but it seeest child’

Could this be a sign that the Runcandels could once again rise and prosper in the future?

No, it was also possible that the God who had once abandoned theain Cyron began to calculate the possibilities as he watched the shadows dance upon Jin’s palm

‘I’m certain that he hasn’t ained this power through the contract, there’s no way he wouldn’t knohat power this is’

Jin could easily guess the thoughts passing through his father’sso to his plan It was far too easy He believed that Cyron would show some suspicions at some moment, but that e and childish appearance

7 years of age was an excellent period to lie and trick people

“My son”

Cyron had finished sorting out his thoughts

“Yes, father”

“That is the power of a God named Solderet Therefore, I cannot name it Lord Solderet is one of the secrets our clan has kept hidden for a long ti who brought about shadows in this world Youto understand this”

“Is he…”

When Jin paused, Cyron nodded to urge hier than father?”

“Haha…”

Cyron let out an aard laugh signifying his defeat He had never laughed like this ever since becoy to his training for countless years now, his emotions and spirit had been stirred for the first ti time

“I wonder… Your father has never attee Gods, so I cannot say”

Truly a prideful reply Not knowing the answer for never having battled Gods

Nonetheless, Jin shuddered as he listened to his father’s reply The person in question was Cyron Runcandel

The strongest man on the continent

Even the clanmaster of the Zipfel Clan, Kelliark Zipfel, could not hold a candle to this rin

“I’ve truly made the correct decision to coreat topic of interest for ainst a God? Cyron had called this question a ‘topic of interest’

Once Jin walked up to hihtly patted his head The handful of shadoas still swirling on Jin’s palht now

“How do you want to use this power?”

“I want to use it for the clan, father”

I want to use it for myself

There was no need for hiiven Jin in his past life was scorn and conteain after turning 7 years old Therefore, Jin had absolutely no intention of using his life to serve the clan, unless he somehow became the patriarch of the family However, in order to do that, he would have to defeat his s

“Kuhahaha!”

Cyron suddenly burst into laughter The echoes resounded throughout the entire Stor outside the throne room all jolted in surprise They had never heard their father laugh so vigorously in recent years

After a while, the laughter subsided and Cyron turned expressionless as usual He bent down and brought his face up close to Jin’s

“What an a lie You can be more honest with your father, you know?”

Jin hadn’t expected this situation Nevertheless, he suppressed his shock and slowly spoke

“…for me”

“Hht After having pu them out in the storm, there’s no way you’d use your power for the clan I’ll be watching over you from here on out”

Cyron walked past Jin and left the room After his father’s footsteps disappeared into the distance, Jin finally noticed the cold sweat running down his face and back
