Chapter 428 Drama [2]
Chapter 427: Drama [2]
Just the sheer force of his presence was so daunting that Shin was immediately overcome with fear. He was forced to the ground, flattened by the overwhelming pressure.
Another elder stepped forward, requesting the opportunity to handle Shin's punishment by declaring, "Master, please give me the chance to punish him."
'What the..?!'
'Why are they behaving this way?', Shin was confused.
The Heavenly Wolf family remained shrouded in secrecy, their location so well-hidden that no other race had ever been granted the privilege of visiting them as guests.
After many years, Shin was the first outsider to have been welcomed into the Heavenly Wolf family, and yet he was met with such hostility and suspicion. It was a disheartening experience for him, and he couldn't help but feel betrayed by the way he was being treated, despite his eagerness to earn their trust.
There could be two possibilities: either they are ignorant or possess hidden objectives.
Shin's irritation grew with every passing moment, his anger smoldering like a volcano, ready to erupt and wreak havoc on everything around him. He knew that his temper could get the best of him if he didn't control it, and he struggled to keep his emotions in check.
In spite of the provocation he faced, Shin managed to rein in his anger, knowing that he needed to maintain his composure if he was to have any hope of earning the Heavenly Wolf family's respect and trust.
Shin knew all too well that anger was a destructive emotion that could never provide a solution to the problems he faced.
Shin had come to the Heavenly Wolf family seeking their help, and he knew that anger would only make the situation worse. Despite feeling frustrated and misunderstood, he knew that losing his cool would only further damage his already fragile relationship with the family, causing further discord.
Noticing the elders exerting influence, the speaker chose to step in and mediate the situation.
"Stop."
One command from him compelled the elders to cease pressing down on him.
"You, why do you want to go against my orders?"
As the pressure from the Heavenly Wolf family subsided, Shin felt a sense of relief wash over him. With a clearer mind, he responded to their question, hoping to convey his message clearly.
"Forgive me, but I'm not familiar with any of you," Shin began, his voice calm and measured.
"That's why I came here seeking help, and having Mike by my side would be incredibly beneficial."
Despite feeling nervous and uncertain, Shin spoke with confidence, hoping to convince the Heavenly Wolf family of his sincerity and determination.
Following an attentive listen to Shin's explanation, the speaker paused to reflect on its merits before eventually concurring through a nod of approval at the validity of his points.
The head of the Heavenly Wolf family fixed his eyes on Shin, studying him closely for a few more moments. He sat up straight, leaning forward slightly as if to examine something more closely. His eyes seemed to bore into Shin, as if searching for something beyond what was visible on the surface.
As he stared deeply into Shin's eyes, the red glow emanating from them seemed to intensify, sending shivers down Shin's spine. His eyes seemed to bore into Shin, as if searching for something beyond what was visible on the surface, examining every detail of his being with a supernatural clarity that left Shin feeling exposed and vulnerable.
Amidst attempting to maintain poise, Shin couldn't help but tremble slightly under the head's intense scrutiny.
Subsequently, he returned to his original position of ease following a brief period of engaging in a tense glare contest.
Shin couldn't help but wonder about the reason behind the head's crimson gaze. Was it a trait common in their family, or was there more to it than met the eye? However, he didn't have much time to ponder on it, as the head's personal speaker suddenly gestured with his hand. As he did, a luminous object materialized on his palm, shining brilliantly.
The item on the speaker's palm shone with a deep red glow, reminiscent of pulsing blood, and it was captivating to behold. The intensity of its radiance wasn't blinding, yet it was still enough to make one squint their eyes.
"This is the promised item as agreed upon," stated the speaker.
It was the Crown of Fire, which was due to belong to Shin, had been brought forth, leaving the elders who accompanied him bewildered and taken aback.
Elders? were divided into three ranks: High Order, Middle Order, and Low Order.
Transfer of ownership of the Crown of Fire was decreed by the High Order, subject to the directives of the Head. This crucial piece of knowledge remained exclusive to the High Order, who alone received instructions from the Head.
But the Middle and Low Orders were kept unaware of the significance behind Shin's visit.
Thus, the continuance of his mistreatment could be attributed to them being uninformed about his purpose here.
Regardless, when the Crown of Fire was brought out, it stirred up chaos specifically among the Low Order elders.
"What the heck?"
"For what reason are we giving the Crown of Fire to him?"
"Master, may I ask why we are giving such a valuable item to someone as insignificant as him?"
One after another, queries arose from the Low Order members, each expressing disapproval towards the notion of offering the object to Shin, lacking respite between interrogations.
While the Middle Order elders silently watched the unfolding spectacle, amusement played across their faces. Though they yearned to voice objections like their counterparts, preferring to observe without participation provided a more gratifying experience void of conflict.
Amused by the ongoing situation, a member of the Middle Order couldn't help but think to himself, "This is quite entertaining! I love this drama...," as he playfully tapped his round-framed glasses as if fitting them properly as they seemed to slide down a bit, falling any time.
