Chapter 1852
The sounds reverberated, sounding like eerie cries and wolf howls. The pair tightened their limbs around them as they slid downward, but there was no end in sight. After about half an hour of sliding, they had yet to reach the bottom."Rozi, something's not right," Adrian said as he felt his surroundings.However, Rozi did not reply."Rozi?!" Adrian called out again. He was again met with silence.He continued to slide downward, and it seemed like he was in an endless loop. On top of that, Rozi had disappeared. No matter how much he tried to sense her, he could not feel her presence."Dragonbane!"Adrian extended his hand but realized he could not summon the sword. No matter how hard he tried, it was like Dragonbane had disappeared. He screwed his eyes. He calmed himself as he searched for answers.He knew he could not stop his descent as the inside of the tunnel was incredibly smooth like it had been artificially polished. "There's something wrong with this place. I've probab
Chapter 1853
There was no response. The tunnel remained eerily silent, and Rozi's increasing worry was reflected on her face. She would have heard Adrian sliding down since the sounds he made would have been clearly audible. Adrian had only jumped down seconds after her, so he should have arrived by now."Adrian? Adrian!"Rozi called out several times, but it was as if Adrian had vanished into thin air. This unnerved her greatly. She then attempted to enter the tunnel opening but found that she could not use any of her abilities. Her sword could not be summoned, and she felt no different from an ordinary person. She was unable to enter the meteorite opening as if it repelled her efforts. Gravitational pull seemed stronger here too."Adrian… A…"Something strange was happening to Rozi as she continued to call out. Her vision started to blur, and she felt drowsy as if an irresistible sleepiness was taking over. She felt as though she had been hit with anesthesia. The drowsiness would not go away

Chapter 1855
"You're a liar, Nova, just like your father!"Miguel and a few young boys surrounded Nova, pointing and shouting at her. They were not the first to make such claims. Many had speculated that Adrian was swayed by the Creator and was secretly enjoying his life somewhere. They painted him as a traitor. Otherwise, why had he not shown himself for five years?"Get lost!" Nova grew angry and tears streamed down her face. She had never seen her father, but she did not want anyone talking bad about him either.Nova shoved Miguel aside and ran out of the classroom, crying.Elayne, who was late to the scene, called out, "Nova! Wait!" But the little girl did not stop and ran out of the school gates. Elayne scowled at Miguel and the others."How could you do such a thing to Nova? Her father isn't a liar. He's a hero.""My father said her father's a liar who tricked all of us into being hopeful. Why haven't we been able to contact him if he isn’t a liar?" Miguel retorted."What?!" Elayne c

Samantha's heart ached when she saw this."What happened, Nova? Was it something I did?"Samantha reached out to wipe Nova's tears, but Nova slapped her hand away."You're a student now. You shouldn't be lashing out like this. Now, how about you tell me what happened?"These words seemed to strike a chord with Nova, who strove to be a good girl in her mother's heart. Nova sat up and tearfully said, "They’re saying Dad's a liar, Mom. Where is he? Is he never coming back? Does he not want me anymore?"Samantha froze.Disaster still loomed over the world, and Nova had not seen her father since she learned to talk. Samantha seldom spoke to her about him and had never even shown her a picture of her father. She did not want Adrian to be a burden on their daughter as she grew up."Do you miss him?" Samantha gently asked.Nova nodded and cried, "I do, but he doesn't want me anymore. He lied to everyone. He lied to them, so they're now calling him a big liar. I hate Dad!" Samantha
Chapter 1857
Steel had taken Nova under his wing since she was three and trained and tutored her in various fields every day. They covered things like combat training, astronomy, geography, how to wield weapons, and various complex academic subjects.He did all this because he cared for the girl very deeply. Putting aside the fact that she was Adrian's daughter, Nova was remarkably intelligent and quickly picked up on various skills.***Huff! Huff! Huff!Nova, who was assuming a military stance, had been practicing her combat skills on the headquarter's training grounds for ten minutes. She was practicing Herculean Boxing, a powerful technique from Wyvern Peak that Adrian had mastered at twenty years old.The little Nova had already mastered half of the technique in just three years. Punches flew, and Nova worked up a good sweat. Due to her pent-up emotions, her strikes on the training dummy increased minute after minute. Finally, with a loud crack, the dummy broke in half.Huff! Huff! Huf
Chapter 1858
Nova continued with her training, becoming increasingly skilled in Herculean Boxing. She would surely surpass Adrian."Hahaha! What's going on with you today? Why do you seem so angry?" Steel put away his stern expression and replaced it with a kind smile as he walked toward Nova."Mr. Steel," Nova called out to him as she calmed herself."Have you been arguing with your mother?"Nova nodded. "I asked her about my father, but she wouldn't tell me anything and even hit me. Can you tell me who my father is, Mr. Steel? Why does everyone say he's a liar?"Steel smiled and replied, "Your father's not a liar, Nova. You shouldn't listen to them.""Are you going to lie to me too? I may be young, but I know he must've told a lot of lies. That’s why everyone hates him so much.""Is that so?" Steel asked."I know that even though Mom is always taking his side, she doesn't know whether he'll ever come back. Who was he? What was his name? Why did he have to leave?" Nova asked. Steel smile
Chapter 1859
The children learned about Sir Draco and new information filled their minds. They were highly curious about him, but that was when school was declared to be over for the day. The children returned home, and so did Nova. "Mom, Mom!" Nova called out as she excitedly ran into the kitchen. Samantha, who was preparing dinner, was a bit surprised. She knelt down to hold Nova's shoulders. "What's going on, darling?"Nova, with puffed-up cheeks, said, "Ms. Helen taught us something new today.""What about?" Samantha replied.Nova asked with a hopeful expression, "Mom, do you know Sir Draco? Ms. Helen said he's an amazing person who protected us."Samantha felt comforted when she heard this from her daughter. However, upon recalling her prior conversation with Steel, she knew she had no choice but to hide the truth from Nova. As she continued to smile and stroke Nova's head, Samantha said, "Of course, I do. He's the most amazing man in the world. He not only protected me but you too."
