Chapter 1074: Chapter 1074: Offer


    ?


    "What are you nning with him?" the young general asked the Drike Family Leader.


    If even his brother was saying that the young man might have a hard time surviving, it meant that more or less, the young man was being pushed straight to his death.


    He didn''t understand why his brother was being so stern with the young man who had just saved his son. Was it because he noticed something that the others hadn''t?


    "I want to give him a rmendation for the battlefield," the family head answered, appearing entirely uncaring about his younger brother''s request.


    "The battlefield? You want him to enter the battlefield? You know what kind of ce that is! Even Aelric can''t survive that ce, let alone this guy! It''s especially the case now that the Angels are running rampant!"


    "I didn''t say that I will forcefully send him there. I just said that I will rmend him. If he epts the rmendation, I will grant him the quota of the Drike Family. If he doesn''t ept it, then it is his choice."


    The family head knew that he couldn''t force Karyk to enter that ce without upsetting his child who thought of the young guy as a savior and friend.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    At the same time, he couldn''t ept the young man who just wanted to use them. Hence, this was his test. If he was going to ept it and enter the battlefield, as long as he returned alive, he was going to be epted into the family.


    Even if he wanted to use the Drike Family, he was going to allow it.


    On the other hand, if he died on the battlefield, it meant he wasn''t worth it. He could only me himself for being too greedy.


    At the same time, the young man could also reject the rmendation for the battlefield, which was the most disappointing oue for him.


    The general also understood his brother all too well. Although the family head said that it was Karyk''s choice, he had already made up his mind.


    If Karyk rejected the rmendation, then the Family Head might make the young man disappear forever.


    "Why are you going so far for a young man?" he asked the Family Head.


    "One needs to know their own capabilities when targeting people higher than them. If the young man isn''t worth this much, then he can only kindly ept the punishment. This has been the absolute rule of the family."


    The general didn''t know what to answer anymore. He thought that Karyk was a talented seedling. Not only did he have a mutated bloodline, but he also had conviction to stand up against the strong.


    If the young man could join his forces, he might actually make a name for himself. Unfortunately, his brother had already decided.


    Although disappointed, he could only ept it. Sighing, he turned around to leave.


    "Oh, but it seems that you have taken quite an interest in the young man." As the General was about to step out of the room, the family head spoke. "He has three days before the opening of that ce appears. If he epts and you don''t want him to die, I might allow you to train him in the meantime."


    The General didn''t respond to his brother. He stepped out of the room, with only the sound of his footsteps growing distant.


    "Time Lord, Space Lord, and the others are looking for someone. At the same time, a mutated person appears who has walked through the sea of blood. How interesting..."


    "If you are truly that person, I wonder what kind of chaos you can bring to the battlefield. If you can truly bring the carnage that I felt from you, then..."


    The Drike Family Head didn''tplete his sentence. He silently looked at the red crystal. In the center of the crystal, there was a small speck of darkness that was frozen within.


    Even he didn''t know how long it had been since this speck of darkness had been sealed inside this crystal. It was something he had found on the battlefield when he first entered that ce in his younger years.


    He never expected to feel this same darkness inside the young man that had arrived here.


    ....


    The banquet continued in the family estate for close to an hour, with many people wanting to know about Karyk.


    A lot of them were interested in a person that had appeared with a mutated bloodline. It was especially the case as his bloodline was supposed to have gone extinct.


    They asked him about the kind of life he had, as well as his family.


    Karyk told them the same story as before, making them understand his grudge with the Angel n.


    After realizing how much Karyk hated the Angels, the Drike Family members started finding him even more pleasing to the eyes. They also hated those annoying creatures after all. After what felt like an eternity for Karyk, the banquet finally ended and Karyk was able to leave the banquet.


    On his way back, he was informed by Aelric that he was going to show him around the city tomorrow, to which Karyk agreed. Every opportunity to get closer to the family heir was for the better.


    At the same time, he might also get an opportunity to get a taste for the new Bloodlines in the city.


    Karyk returned to his room after agreeing with Aelric. He was even looking forward to tomorrow. However, he felt a strange presence inside the room as soon as he stepped inside.


    It was clear that he wasn''t alone. There was another presence here which he couldn''t see. "You have good senses." A voice came from the distance as ayer of invisibility was removed from the person who was sitting on the bed.


    "You are..." Karyk grew surprised to find the person inside his room, especially with the kind of identity he had. "What are you doing here?"


    "Why can''t I be here?" the person asked in return.
