Chapter 288: Chapter 278: The Gift of “Counterattack Shield” and the Steam Train

Bringing up those two questions in such a straightforward manner in public was obviously a breach of etiquette; nearly no adult noble of Cyart would ever speak that way at a banquet.

However, a boy of around ten could very well speak in such a manner.

People believe that children are entitled to speak their mind without fear of reprimand.

The “Hunter in the Fog” of the Abernathy family, Jayern, immediately furrowed his brow and scolded his son in a low voice.

“Amos! What exactly are you saying? Don’t you know the questions you’re asking are impolite?”

“Sorry, father, I won’t dare again…”

Amos immediately lowered his head, his face a picture of grievance, signaling he would not ask such questions again.

“It’s alright, Lord Jayern, these are in fact not questions that cannot be asked,” Byrne stepped forward, politely interjecting.

“Our Fischer family indeed harbors many secrets, which have always drawn considerable attention. It’s only natural that people would be curious.”

He looked at the boy and let out a chuckle, knowing full well that the youngster’s sudden inquiry could very likely have been prompted by his father.

In truth, everyone present was eager to know these two matters, but they simply couldn’t ask directly, nor could they attain answers quickly through other means.

Byrne surveyed the silent crowd and, without hesitation, brought out a well-thought-out explanation, calmly elucidating, “In fact, the power of Bloodline of the Fischer family comes from another continent.”

“Another continent?”

Everyone was taken aback for a moment but then didn’t find it too strange upon further thought.

Indeed, for those capable of bequeathing powers of a mighty Bloodline, crossing continents was not a difficult feat.

Byrne continued, “Therefore, the power of Bloodline possessed by the Fischer family belongs to none that you are already familiar with.”

He paused for a moment before adding, “Our family’s Bloodline is quite unique and manifests differently in each family member.”

The crowd fell into contemplation. Could it be something like the power of a hydra?

“However, we prefer not to disclose the specifics of these Bloodline abilities, and I trust that you all can understand this.”

“As for Chris Fischer and whether he has truly reached the level of a Monarch…”

Before he could finish his statement, an exceptionally intense aura burst forth from Chris, like a keen hunter locking onto every person present.

Those who were not Monarchs changed their countenance, while the nine powerful Monarch experts all appeared contemplative, sensing that robust aura which was competitive enough to contend with them on equal footing.

The aura was genuine—undeniable!
