"I would really appreciate it," Kailen said warmly. "Also, I greet uncle Jackson."

The trio seemed pleased with Kailen's response.

After that, they briefly escorted Kailen out of the apartment with some parting words.

Watching his retreating back, Cyco couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

"He's more cautious and discerning than even some veteran awakeners who have schemed and plotted for centuries," Bianca added.

"True. There was this strange feeling I had whenever he looked at us when we said something. It felt like he could see through our words, whether they were lies or the truth. Saul and the vixen have given birth to a monster. Our nephew will shake the universe in the times to come."

"This kid is not naive," Nuel layered further. "Our nephew is a really formidable person. That bastard really gave birth to a formidable son. We need to do everything we can to support him. Let's start packing as soon as possible."

"Sure."

"Yeah."

---

"Oh my fucking god! It's definitely the Sword Tribunal Society behind this!"

"But there's no way to prove it, right?"

"According to the rumors, several people have been trying all that they can to trace the source of the IP address of the anonymous account that posted the images. However, it's proved futile."

"Then how can you tell Kailen Darkhaven is behind this?"

"If Kailen Darkhaven is behind this, doesn't that mean he's too powerful for a rank 1 beginner stage ascendant level lifeform?"

" But Vesper Locke has no feud with the Sword Tribunal Society right? So why should they be the ones behind this?"

" You have point. After all, he saved the members of the Sword Tribunal society , so there's no way the Sword Tribunal Society will do that to him right?"

" Idiots, according to some rumors, Kailen Darkhaven and Vesper Locke were seen at a teleportation gate heading through it , about embarking on a mission together . Don't you think it's weird that only Kailen Darkhaven returned alive?"

" But what could have caused Kailen Darkhaven to kill him?"

" Maybe a falling out!"

" It's not possible in the first place . With Kailen Darkhaven's strength , he is not a match for Vesper Locke"

" That's true, so perhaps , some sort of accident occured and he died?"

" But that still doesn't solve the mystery of why pictures of him beaten ,battered and almost dead were uploaded right?"

" If Vesper died, then Kailen Darkhaven is still the most likely suspect because there's no way he was supposed to survive something Vesper didn't , since Vesper is stronger than him"

" Hehehe, what a block head, read what you just posted, are your words not contradicting yourself ?"

" Aaah, this is too confusing. Vesper was my role model. Who in their right mind would kill him?"

" One thing is certain though.He died in vain, the academy will only classify a death in the daunting regions of the academy as an accident . So even if Kailen Darkhaven is a suspect, he will get away with it"

Kailen finally stopped scrolling through the comments of the posts regarding Vesper on arriving at the Sword Tribunal Society.

The moment the members saw him, several of them stared at him with extreme reverence in their eyes. They even took the initiative to greet him.

It was not like they didn't do it in the past, but admiration had literally changed to zealous adoration after he killed Vesper Locke.

They had all questioned themselves internally, whether or not the president was just being proud, or he could actually pull it off.

However, he killed Vesper mysteriously, in a way and manner they could have never perceived—whether assisted by someone or alone.

The society president was a terrifyingly strong person.

The moment Kailen arrived in the lobby of the society, Ethan Revearson sent him a message.

When Kailen read through it, he scoffed.

"These fuckers want to get rid of me during the society wars?"

It turned out Bryce Darkhaven had banded with Xyra Ashton, the president of the Ashton Society, Riba Harker, the president of the Harkers Society, the Arcane society president and even Tyrax Tantamount, the president of the student council and other society, to get rid of Kailen.

According to Ethan, Bryce was unaware of Ethan's involvement with Kailen.

In fact, the fellow had been extremely confident when he approached Ethan, with the thought that Ethan had more motive to kill Kailen than probably anyone else, since Kailen had killed his brother.

Bryce had mentioned that Ethan should not worry—as it wouldn't be him alone involved no matter how powerful Kailen had become or who he was in on this with—and that other society presidents and members would be joining the temporal alliance to get rid of the Sword Tribunal Society members, especially Kailen Darkhaven, during the upcoming society wars.

Naturally, Ethan said he was not interested in collaborating with them, which displeased Bryce. But Bryce swallowed his pride and left.

Kailen sent a thank you reply to Ethan.

Instead of being worried, a slight smirk tugged at the edge of his lips as a ruthless glint flashed through his eyes.

Quickly, he summoned the members of the society for a society meeting.

With everyone, including all the leaders, present, Kailen went on to tell them about the ambush that lay ahead of them for the upcoming society wars.

With the leaders, including the new couple who had currently not informed anyone they were in a relationship, present after finishing their warm-up, Kailen went ahead to encourage them to get stronger with the resources of the society.

Kailen spent several days with Pan Halfoy making alchemical products that would be of much help to the society members during the society wars.

Pan Halfoy was extremely shocked on seeing Kailen demonstrate his alchemy prowess in person.

It felt like he was watching a circus show.

It was simply too beautiful to watch.

Naturally, Kailen directed him on how to craft some of the products to increase his purity level, and inasmuch as Pan's purity level did not reach the level of Kailen, he still became very proficient, as his purity level went up a notch.

Pan was starting to feel like his decision to leave the Arcane Society to follow Kailen was really starting to pay off.

Pan, under Kailen's order, in turn started equipping certain society members who had a few alchemical capabilities with some training to also help increase their skill in alchemy.

At the same time, Kailen started working with Anaya to inscribe several runes of different calibre on various artifacts with the idea that they would aid the society members to trample on some members of the other societies during the upcoming society wars.

Naturally, Anaya was shocked and had complicated feelings the whole time, ranging from shock to disbelief several times!

This was because a few days ago she had been the one introducing runesmithery to Kailen, but right now, he had achieved so much mastery that she felt like she was watching some old monster who had been a runesmith for an extremely long period of time work and instruct her.

Kailen's direction, though, had helped her understand the intricacies of runesmithery more and helped her to make considerable progress that would have taken others a long time to make.

Anaya remembered that there were people who could not be judged with common sense.

And Kailen was one of those people.

Thanks to her being a rank 1 intermediate stage ascendant level lifeform, under Kailen's guidance she was able to make rune-inscribed artifacts and even conjure runes that could deal damage to some awakened in the intermediate stage ascendant level.

This would be a boost to the power of the members of the Sword Tribunal Society during the upcoming society wars.

The members of the Sword Tribunal Society were also very diligent in their training at this time.

Kailen had decided to keep the involvement of the crown prince in the conspiracy surrounding his parents from the leaders and members of the Sword for now.

He did not trust them enough to tell them, even though they had signed rune oaths that bound them to the society rules, especially in the area of keeping society secrets.

Kailen simply didn't want to risk it.

The only person he told was Lian Yu.

Kailen knew Lian Yu deserved to know since the ordeal was connected to the destruction of the Sword Tribunal Sect.

Lian Yu naturally decided to not breathe a word of it to anyone,not even to Anaya , since he understood the gravity of doing so.

The consequences could be very detrimental.

At the moment too, the society members were not even strong enough to help Kailen handle the burden of revenge even if they knew about it- the most important thing for Kailen to do was to raise them into a formidable force .

After these matters , Kailen finally had some free time for himself.

It was time to get rid of that pest, Enna Harker, for good.
