Chapter 451 Shadows Of Retribution
A prosperous city could be seen, filled with tall buildings. It was Mazar. A large building could be seen in its business area with a digital sign board named 'Mazar's Crown' shining in different lights.
Inside this building, a giant hall could be seen. Decorated with large, beautiful curtains of different colors. Many people can be seen enjoying themselves with drinks in their hands, each wearing branded clothes.
Multiple circular tables could be seen, each with five chairs around them. The servers held a giant tray, serving drinks to all the guests.
An older man appeared on the stage at the front, taking everyone's attention. "Welcome everyone, on the occasion of the annual day of the Mazar Brach Beast Tamer Association."
After the introduction, the party started. The guests were mostly accomplished beast cultivators or somewhat related to this profession. A silver-haired boy appeared alone, enjoying his drink in the corner.
Beside him was a window through which he looked at what was happening outside. It was as if he had zero interest in the party whatsoever. Many people occasionally greeted him, including some beautiful Yong girls, but he showed no interest in talking with them.
Most of them thought he was an introvert and lonely at the party, while some linked his behavior with arrogance. Usually young people who achieved a great feat at a young age were arrogant, so his behavior was nothing out of the box.
Among the ones that visited him was a man who appeared to be in his late forties. He greeted Rishi and talked politely with him. Rishi also smiled back and talked with him.
He brought Rishi to the table where he was sitting with his friends. Everyone thought he would reject him, but to everyone's surprise, he did the unexpected. He agreed to the man's request.
Looking at them together, some people were confused, as they never thought these two guys would be so close. His friends also made fun of him, saying he kept it a secret from others, but little did they know the man himself was surprised.
He could not understand the thought of the purple-eyed boy, who appeared to be enjoying himself from the outside but had multiple layers to his personality like an onion. This person was someone who was always shrouded in mystery.
From his looks to his abilities to his decisions to his feats, nothing ever made sense to others. While it was not abnormal for someone to be too friendly, he felt like something was wrong.
He thought about it for a long time, wondering if he was missing something. He checked the food, drinks, and people around him to ensure his safety. He discovered nothing suspicious.
He sighed, shaking his head. 'It looks like I am overthinking; maybe he really wants to make strong ties. How would he not? After all, he wanted to fight for the clan patriarch position.'

Three hours ago
A group of people could be seen. Equipped with good-quality equipment, they easily eliminated their opponents. There were eight of them; five were adults, while three looked to be children.
The boy at the front complained; he appeared to be thirteen years old. "Why did Father see these guys? It would be no fun with them around."
"Young Master, you don't need to worry about it. We will not interfere until it is not an emergency situation. Our job is to guard you. said the one leading the four-person group.
"Save me from whom? It's just a D-rank dungeon, and we are just going to get some experience; my father has no trust in my abilities." said the boy.
"It's ok, Amar; let's not waste any more time," said the girl beside the boy. They entered the Dungeon gate one by one, starting with the boy at the front and others following him.
Multiple guards could be seen patrolling around the dungeon gate, making sure it was safely guarded. They were doing it for formality; deep inside their hearts, they knew it was impossible.
They were inside a territory controlled by the Tiwari clan, who would dare to infiltrate this area and try to harm their members. They were talking with each other to pass the time; it was already dusk.
unknown to them. MultipUnknownnge shadows appeared out of nowhere and entered the shadows of the last member. The last person entering the Dungeon was part of the group of bodyguards with the responsibility to guard the younger Master. He kept walking, not feeling any change.
Inside the Dungeon, they faced multiple orcs. These beasts were not that strong individually, but they had high defense, making them very hard to kill; the three youngsters enjoyed fighting with them, gaining experience, while the guards had the job of protecting them.
The captain looked at the situation and saw that the number of orcs was increasing constantly. To regulate their numbers and make sure that nothing unexpected took place, he tasked two guards to scout the area ahead.
Time passed by, and the three children gained a lot of combat experience while simultaneously gaining two levels each.
"Raiding higher dungeons is so much fun; we can level up so fast. After fighting these stinky musselhead pigs, I can now easily fight multiple of them," said the boy.
"It would have been more fun if we were alone and didn't have my father's dogs following me, said Amar.
"Stop it, Amar; he cares for you. This is something you should be grateful for; not everyone is lucky to have such a caring father like you." said the girl.
"She is right Amar, my dad, was not even able to afford an Elite-grade Beast after I passed the trial. Even after taking a loan, he could get me only a rare-grade beast," said the other boy.
"Money is not everything. He took out a loan to buy a good-quality magic beast. A rare grade is not bad, said the girl.
"You rich people will never understand what it means to be poor. If my father was wealthy, I would have been way stronger," replied the boy.
"I saw your situation; that was why I asked you to become my follower. With me beside you, see how much you have grown. I would also get your first contract, Beast evolved, said Amar.
"This was why I chose to support you. Don't worry; I will always be there to assist you. Every attack fired at you will need to get past me." replied the boy, pointing his thumb confidently at himself.
While two shadows moved, passing through the shadows of the objects, they stopped in front of a fenced area, and figures appeared there out of nowhere, covered in black robes.
They looked at each other before nodding their heads. One of them weaved strange hand signs before pointing his palm toward an area with multiple huts. A red-colored smoke released from it and started to get mixed with the air.
Nothing happened for a moment before multiple roars erupted and countless green hu,manoid creatures started rushing out of the huts with their eyes shining red.
The other figure revealed himself and threw multiple stones at them. The enraged Orcs roared at him before rushing at him, raising their giant clubs. They surrounded him and launched multiple attacks, but none of them landed. The opponent was speedy.
He disappeared the next moment, appearing ten meters away, and threw another rock at their leader, taunting him. The orcs were not able to take this level of disrespect; they decided to teach this human a lesson.
The figure led them toward the Raid team, where the three youngsters were enjoying the thrill of fighting against multiple opponents; soon, they heard loud cries. They looked back and saw multiple Orcs coming their way.
They felt a chill down their spine as they looked at their numbers; they started running toward the entrance with their tails tucked between their legs. The guard tried to hold back the horde and gather some time for the young Master to escape, but the numbers overwhelmed them.
The Orc horde had caught them by surprise; they never had guessed they would need to fight so many. As they tried to fight, their shadows shook, and they found themselves unable to move the next moment.
In this intense battle, a small second was enough to cost you life; multiple Orcs swarmed them. Their bodies were torn apart into pieces, distributed, and devoured by multiple Orcs. The Guard captain was facing the strongest Orc, which was seven feet tall. He was able to push the Orc leader back and was about to group up with the others when his shadow shook; it stood up and caught him in place.
A black-colored smoke entered his body and made him cry in pain; he used all his strength and escaped. Only to find that his body could not function properly, paralyzing slowly. He coughed blood and looked back, noticing a shadow without an object moving away.
The next moment, an Axe appeared from the side, and his head was sent flying away from his body; up until the last moment a surprised expression could be seen on his face.
