Chapter 562: Chapter 561: Proposal
At the Molak Family’s Main Hall
It had been a few days since Rasel and the others had arrived, and now it was finally time for the discussion.
Outside the hall, Keith and Kiro leaned against the wall with their eyes closed, their hearts calm.
Just as Kiro had predicted, they had finally been able to breathe a sigh of relief over the past few days. No attacks had occurred, and it seemed that although those organizations were powerful, they were not fearless.
Meanwhile, inside the main hall, an important discussion was taking place.
Devon, Leon, and Rasel were present, along with all the elders of the Molak Family and the family head.
"Princess, let me get this straight. You want to awaken your physique, gain the support of the Molak Family, and fight for the throne against your brothers?" the family head asked.
Rasel nodded.
"That’s about it."
The elders exchanged glances, unable to hide the shock on their faces.
"Prince Leon, are you alright with this?" the family head asked as everyone’s gaze shifted toward Leon.
At that moment, Leon seemed far more interested in the wine he was drinking than in the discussion itself.
Hearing the question, even Devon narrowed his eyes as he looked at Leon.
Ever since he had awakened, Leon had shown his intention to support Rasel, and that alone was surprising.
Honestly, there wasn’t much difference whether Leon supported her or not. After all, Leon possessed no real power. It was almost as though they were simply adding another name to their side.
However, considering his reputation as a wasteful prince, having Leon openly support Rasel would only damage her image.
Bang!
Leon slammed his wine cup onto the table.
Everyone’s hearts skipped a beat at the sudden action.
"Hmm... yes, I support my sister."
"I know all of you have prejudices against me because of my behavior."
"Yes... I can’t change that behavior."
Leon spoke as everyone inwardly sighed.
This wasn’t good.
"But..."
"That behavior allowed me to uncover some secrets about my brothers... and even the royal family."
"As long as you support Rasel, I’ll tell you everything."
Everyone’s eyes widened.
Wait...
The Second Prince was actually intelligent?
No...
That wasn’t even the real question.
Had he been pretending all this time?
Did he know exactly what he was doing?
The more they thought about it, the more chills ran down their spines.
While the Molak Family was left stunned, Devon’s heart pounded violently.
Rather than trusting Leon, he became even more cautious.
For someone capable of deceiving everyone for so many years...
There had to be another reason he was supporting Princess Rasel.
He needed to speak with the Princess later.
She had to be careful around Leon.
"We understand, and it is certainly an interesting proposal. However, if the Molak Family chooses to support the Princess in her bid for the throne, we won’t simply become another competitor."
"We’ll become the enemy of the entire world."
"The neutral factions, our enemies, and every force supporting the princes will all target us."
"We would be placing ourselves in an extremely dangerous position," one elder voiced out, earning the agreement of several others.
The remaining elders stayed silent, each carefully weighing the options before them.
"I mean, judging by how confident the Second Prince is, the secrets he possesses about his brothers could greatly increase our chances of victory."
"Or perhaps the royal family’s secrets could strengthen our own family."
The elder from the opposing side spoke, and those who had remained silent found themselves agreeing.
This wasn’t a decision they could make lightly.
The risks were enormous...
But so were the potential rewards.
"It could even be both," Leon suddenly added as he slowly swirled the wine in his glass.
Everyone took a deep breath.
Their eyes were filled with shock.
"Second Prince... are you certain?" the Molak Family Head asked.
Leon merely glanced at him.
"Believe me or don’t."
"I guarantee that this information can change the tide."
"And if the Molak Family isn’t interested..."
"I’m sure another family will gladly accept my offer."
Leon’s voice carried an unmistakable threat.
The Molak Family Head frowned before exchanging glances with the elders.
They all nodded.
"Very well."
"Would the Second Prince kindly explain what makes him so confident?" the family head asked. If it was worth it then maybe the molak family will support the Princess but if not, then .The family head sneer as he thought, he would dismiss the second prince and apologize to Princess rasel before sending them off.
After all, he can’t be the cause of the downfall of the molak family.
Leon grinned.
"Now you’re talking."
"It’s actually very simple."
He deliberately paused, making everyone even more curious.
Even Rasel leaned forward slightly.
"Heh..."
"My brothers..."
"...are nothing more than puppets."
Boom!
Everyone felt as though their minds had exploded.
For a moment, they even wondered if they had heard him incorrectly.
But every person present stood at the peak of Rank 0.
There was no possibility of mishearing.
Did that mean Leon was telling the truth?
"Impossible..." Devon couldn’t help but mutter.
Rasel furrowed her brows.
Is he still pretending...?
"I know all of you are shocked, but that’s one of the reasons I was always so careful around them."
"From top to bottom, they are all controlled by a hooded figure."
"He ignored me only because he believed I was nothing more than a fool."
"You probably think my brothers are fighting among themselves..."
"Or that they’ve united because of Rasel."
Leon slowly shook his head.
"No."
"Absolutely not."
"It’s all just a game."
"It doesn’t matter which prince takes the throne."
"In the end..."
"The hooded man will be the one ruling everything."
"As for the royal family..."
"Besides the resources already known to the outside world, we possess a broken time-space."
"It can accelerate the growth of natural herbs."
"And time flows much faster inside it."
"Your younger generation could cultivate at an astonishing speed there."
Boom!
This time, the shock was more than ten times greater.
Yet Leon didn’t give them a chance to digest the information before dropping another bombshell.
"And it’s not just the princes."
"Every organization supporting them is under the same control."
"Why do you think they dared to attack Princess Rasel... inside your own city?"
The instant Leon finished speaking, an overwhelming pressure erupted throughout the Molak Family estate.
More than a hundred peak Rank 0 auras suddenly appeared.
"How dare you!"
A furious voice echoed from the deepest part of the Molak Family as an even stronger aura erupted, completely drowning out the hundreds of Peak Rank 0 auras.
The next instant, everyone felt the hairs on their bodies stand on end as a terrifying attack descended.
BOOOOOOM!!!!!!!
The hundreds of Peak Rank 0 experts approaching the Molak Family’s hidden time-space were instantly reduced to a bloody mist.
Devon’s eyes widened in horror.
Meanwhile, Leon calmly spoke from the side.
"Do you believe me now?" Leon asked.
The elders and the family head gulped.
Although they couldn’t see the battle, they could tell from the pressure alone just how terrifying those hundreds of Peak Rank 0 experts had been.
If their ancestor hadn’t intervened...
The Molak Family might no longer exist.
They all looked at Leon with fear.
If everything he had said was true...
Then something truly terrifying had happened within the Mortal Realm.
---
Far away, inside a Familiar dark room...
"I knew it..."
"Old monsters like you are still alive."
"But you’re still far too weak..."
"If only I weren’t injured..."
The mysterious being muttered as his emerald eyes pierced through the walls and buildings, gazing directly toward the hidden time-space where the Molak Family was located.
