Heaven Destroyer

Lawson Family meeting hall.

At this time, on the head chair was sitting an old man with white hair. He had fair skin, pointy nose, sharp eyes. He was none other than the ancestor of the Lawson family. Strong pressure was coming from his body, telling his strength as a seventh level great mage.

On his right side was a man with an average look. However, the aura around his body didn't lose a bit against the ancestor of the Lawson family — Hellshard!

At the left side was the patriarch of the Lawson; though, at this moment his face was full of respect and reverence when he looked at his father and Hellshard. Afterwards, the ancestor of the Ferlee family was also present and a few elders of the family.

"This is our first and last chance; no mistake will be tolerated. You need to know that a single mistake would be equal to death!" The Lawson ancestor broke the silence in the meeting hall, attracting everyone's gazes.

Eventually, he turned towards the Hellshard before speaking with a grave tone, "When commander Greysen will come? We don't have much time; only commander Greyson could fight against that Armori."

As he spoke about the Armori, a visible fear and hatred could be seen in his eyes. One could only imagine what he might have done to this ancestor of the Lawson family to become this fearful.

Hellshard looked at the Lawson family's ancestor, and shook his head, "You don't need to bother about him. He had beaten you white and blue previously because he had the support of the Alexander Noablesoar. However, when Alexander will die, he will again become just a homeless dog."

Hearing Hellshard talking about the most embarrassing thing in his life, in front of the members of his family. The face of the Lawson family's ancestor turned red in embarrassment. Though he didn't voice his dissatisfaction.

At the side, the ancestor of the Ferlee family was sitting silently. When he heard Hellshards words, a pain in his heart lessened a bit. He was also one of Armori's victims. He knew how terrible that beating was; therefore, he completely sympathised with the ancestor of the Lawson family.

After that, Hellshards expression turned to severe, "However, that Armori guy is really mysterious like that shopkeeper, Ayaan. He appeared out of nowhere a decade ago and became the commander of the Stolax kingdom's army. Until now, no one was able to find where he had come from."

"Yes, he had come about thirteen years ago out of nowhere. We tried to find out about him at that time but to no avail." The Lawson ancestor nodded with a serious face.

"No matter where he had come from, in the end, he would also die like that Alexander Noablesor." Hellshard's eyes flashed with terrifying killing intent.

The ancestor looked at the Hellshard, hesitating for some time before speaking, "Wh-what if Alexander Noablesor was still powerful?"

"Impossible!" Hellshard shouted before continuing, "Commander Graysen himself poisoned him at that time on our king's instruction. The poison was a terrifying poison named magic devourer. It could slowly devour the magic energy from the body of the person and make him an ordinary person in a few years. 

I highly doubt that King Alexander had found a cure for the poison. Even those peak level kingdoms wouldn't be able to do anything about it."

After hearing the determined voice of the Hellshard. The Lawson ancestor also didn't ask any question. He was just too fearful of king Alexander. Previously, he was at the peak level of the great mage with a very high probability to become an Archmage.

It was the reason why the Vigon kingdom had to stoop so low and poison king Alexander. If he had broken to the Archmage at that time, the Stolax kingdom's strength would be something else and it would be rated as a high-level kingdom!

The Stolax and Vigon kingdom were rivals for years. It was natural for the Vigon kingdom's king to become insecure; therefore, he took those drastic measures. 

Now, they were sure that the king Alexander wouldn't be able to match even a fifth level great mage. And that was the reason, they were trying to finish him once and for all and expand their territory. As for the Lawson family, they had promised them, a huge territory of their own.

At this moment, the ancestor turned towards the boy who was standing behind him. He had sharp eyes, an arrogant air could be felt around him. Though he was just around the age of twenty, he had already broken through to the third level of the high mage. He was the most dazzling youngster in the Stolax kingdom — Daniel.

However, currently, his face was clouded by anger and humiliation. The reason was, of course, Ayaan and Rebecca.

Previously, he was a well-known number one star of the kingdom, but when Rebecca and Ayaan revealed their strength, he became the laugh of the town. In comparison to those two, he was nothing but a mediocre talent.

As he felt his grandfather's gaze, he immediately lowered his head. Looking at his sad face, the old man said in a stern voice, "If you are feeling humiliated by them, then work hard and surpass them. Only strength is the truth in this world. If someone had strength even the cruellest man would appear pleasant to the eyes of masses.

With strength, you could get everything you want. However, on the contrary, if you aren't powerful enough, this world would become a living hell for you. Everyone who is better than you would give a disdainful look every time you face them.

Only with your fist, you could establish your authority and dominance. Only then people would respect you, fear you, and more, worship you!"

Hearing the old man's voice, Daniel's body trembled. The will to become stronger reignited in his heart and his eyes became determined to become powerful enough to be worshipped by the people.

Alas, no one knows what would happen in the future. Who knows if he would even come alive from the royal palace or all his dreams going to become just dreams?

"I understand grandfather," Daniel replied respectfully to the old man.

"You don't need to bother with anything. You just need to do your work tomorrow at the party without fear, leave everything else to us elders." The old man said and turned again towards Hellshard to discuss further.

...

At the moment, Ayaan was resting while smiling ear to ear; at the thought of meeting with Noor, his heartbeat started to beat farter. He couldn't contain his excitement.

Rebecca, whose head was on his chest could easily feel his heartbeat. She was happy for him but worried at the same time, she murmured, "What would Noor think about me?"

Ayaan who heard his murmuring as well became tense; he didn't know how he would introduce Rebecca to Noor. He also didn't know if she changed in this more than one years time.

'Does she still remember me? No way, she would forget me! What if there is already someone else in her life? No, I will break every bone in that fuckers body! Moreover, no one would dare to go against Daniel, everyone knows he was changing Noor.' his head was a complete mess at this time, weird thoughts were appearing inside his mind. 

As Rebecca saw his expression, she chuckled, "I am the one who should be nervous. Why are you so nervous?"

"I am not nervous but I am worried about tomorrow's event. It wouldn't end pleasantly. I am just worried about Noor. If someone dared to play some tricks on her, I won't show any mercy. If I needed to summon my undead army I wouldn't hesitate a bit." Ayaan replied with a worried expression.

Rebecca smiled at him when she heard the reply, "Don't worry, I believe you. No matter how many people they have; no matter how strong they are. They are nothing but people with weak destiny. Your destiny is far beyond those people, they are just a small hurdle in your path. In the end, they will just become your stepping stones."

Healing her encouraging words, Ayaan smiled. He didn't know what he would do if she wasn't by his side; every time when he would feel down or nervous about something, she would always become his strength and encourage him. Who wouldn't love such a woman? 

As he looked at his beautiful smiling face, he didn't know how he would repay her for her kindness. 'Well, I would give her my body to repay her kindness then, hehe,' a dirty smirk appeared on his mouth.

"Ouch!"

Looking at his perverted expression, Rebecca pinched him fiercely. Then asked with narrowed eyes, "What were you thinking just now? I am sure nothing good could appear inside your perverted head."

"Come on! Do you think of me some kind of pervert? I am as pure as jade; no one could point on my chastity." Ayaan started to talk nonsense which Rebecca completely ignored.
