Chapter 1072: Chapter 1072: Manipulation



"He killed more people than me?" The man on the balcony was quite surprised to hear his wife's words.

As the Head of the Drike Family, he had to walk over millions of corpses to reach where he was. He didn't even know exactly how many people he had killed. His hand was tainted with blood.

A young man who hadn't even lived as long as him, had managed to kill more people? Just what kind of life did that person live?

"Did you sense any ulterior motives?" he asked.

He wasn't a fool to think that it was a coincidence for Karyk to save his son. He just happened to be at the right place at the right time? It didn't feel right.

"He does seem to have ulterior motives, but I couldn't exactly see what it was. All I was able to find out is that he doesn't hold any hostility for our family. If I were to guess, then he most probably wants to use the Drike Family's authority for his goals."

The man silently heard his wife's words. He tried to control himself but ultimately he burst into laughter.

"To think that there would be a person who wants to use our family. How long has it been since we last saw a person that tried to manipulate the Drike Family?"

The man was amazed at Karyk's audacity. He wanted to manipulate the Drike Family? Was it because he underestimated the family's intellect? Or was it because he overestimated himself?

"Do you want to..." The woman implied something but she didn't complete her sentence.

"There is no need to go that far." The man lightly shook his head. He put the tea cup aside and stood up. "Even if he has ulterior motives, he still saved our son. I will not have him killed..."

After he finished speaking, he walked past his wife. However, only a few steps later, he stopped and completed his sentence, "... Without giving him an opportunity to prove his worth."

"If he is truly worth our investment, then I might actually allow him to use our influence." He soon disappeared into the distance.

His wife was left behind, looking into the distance with a strange gaze. She understood how hard it was to impress the Lord of the House, especially for a youngster.

Even their talented daughter, despite how cherished and talented she was, hadn't managed to win the acknowledgement of the Lord of the House. As for their son, he was even farther.

Even though her husband said that he was going to give the young man an opportunity to win his acknowledgement in exchange for saving their son's life, it was far easier said than done.

It was more or less given that the young man was going to be killed in the process.

"He really shouldn't have tried to manipulate the Family. Now that he has caught his attention, I don't think anything can help him."

She shook her head lightly and walked back inside the mansion as well, wondering what kind of test her husband was going to give the young man.

....

Karyk was sitting in the guest room, thinking about the way that woman had been looking at him.

"Did she see through me?"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He tried using his senses to follow the movements of everyone in the house. More importantly, his focus was on the woman.

Despite that, he failed. After a certain distance, he wasn't able to follow her. There was an unknown force that stopped him. Let alone his shadows, even his consciousness couldn't pass through that point.

The last thing he was able to see was the back of the person sitting in the balcony, who was approached by the woman.

"This appears to be much harder than I thought." He fell on the bed and looked at the ceiling. There were no fans in the room but it was still very cold. It didn't look like a work of magic either.

He slowly closed his eyes, leaving some shadows to keep an eye on his surroundings.

While appearing like he was sleeping, he observed his inner world, trying to see what Gabriel and his sister were doing.

His consciousness lorded over the entire world, making him no different than the only god of this world.

Many factions were still killing people continuously. At the same time, the growth of technology and development of infrastructure was also starting to keep up. Even earth looked no different than a fictional world of the future.

Karyk kept shifting his focus from one world to the other, trying to find Gabriel and his sister. However, he wasn't able to find them for some reason.

Only a short time had passed since he brought his sister back to life and left her for Gabriel to guide. To his surprise, none of the two could be found anywhere.

It was as if both of them had just disappeared into thin air. He was sure that they couldn't have left his inner galaxy as the galaxy was cut from the outside forces thanks to the abyss.

Despite that, they were nowhere to be found. He even wondered if they had died but that was just as unlikely with how strong Gabriel was.

"Just where did they go?" He slowly opened his eyes, coming to his senses. "How could they disappear? Why don't they ever stop making me worry about them?"

He was lost in thought, only waking up when there was a knock on the door.

"Young Master, it is time for the banquet. Are you prepared?" A maid's voice came from outside.

"It is already evening?" Slightly surprised at the loss of time, Karyk sat up. He picked up the clothes that had been arranged for him by the Drike Family.

With a wave of his hand, he made his old clothes disappear. He donned the new clothes, being the first time in a long while he was wearing a clothes that weren't conjured by his abilities.
