He Became A Monstrous Genius After Obtaining A Time Dilation Artifact-Chapter 433. Fortunate

" Yes, young man, we are fine,"

Anaya’s parents replied.

" We are doing well, brother Kailen. Brother-in-law and sister came here with you all in time. Afraid we wouldn’t have survived if you had arrived a little bit late," Anaya’s sister sighed.

She had had it rough these past few days.

The emotional turmoil she had experienced from the constant barrages of proposals had almost made her lose her mind.

Kailen sighed on seeing the expression on her face.

Using emotional resonance, he was able to glean her thoughts from her subtle facial expressions.

He would have found a way to raze the Pandora clan to the ground had Anaya lost her parents and siblings.

There was no way he’d have let the woman of his brother, Lian Yu, go through such suffering without retaliating.

" It’s good everyone is safe," Arrie sighed in relief.

She was seriously brimming with anger when she had heard of what Anaya’s sister had gone through.

As someone who had been a victim of harassment from various men, inasmuch as what Anaya’s sister experienced was nowhere close to what she had to endure in the past, she could still resonate with what Fanaria, Anaya’s sister, had to go through.

She, alongside the others, were very satisfied with the outcome of things.

Lian Yu looked at the others and gestured them over.

The group greeted the family, and then Anaya formally introduced them to the family.

After this, various conversations began amongst them.

Kailen and company shared their adventures with them—the ones everyone was aware of, such as the painting of Inevitability, the society wars, destruction of the Vimodial society, the massacre of the Harkers, Darkhavens, and Arcane Empowerment Sect, and even the death of Rango Revearson.

At the mention of Rango Revearson’s death, Anaya’s family thanked the group for what they had done for them.

Their daughter Anaya had finally gotten full retribution for the disgrace Rango and his stupid son, Farell, put her through.

Meals were eaten.

Laughter resounded in the hall.

Then, Anaya’s parents, Nara Robertson and Samson Robertson, dropped a bomb that almost made Lian Yu and Anaya choke on their food.

" When are you two getting married?"

Kailen and the others couldn’t help but laugh uncontrollably at the duo’s reaction to the question.

They looked extremely awkward, their cheeks flushed.

In fact, Arrie, Pan, Charles, and Miranda—the extroverts of the group—were taking pictures of the moment like they had seen their favorite celebrities.

" Errmm... we will let you know when the timing is fine for that, mum and dad. As of now, there’s so much to handle, such as going to the Frontlines and other stuff to deal with."

Nara and Samson nodded in understanding.

" Mum, dad, sister, brother, what do you say you move to the Revearson clan instead of living here? Over there, you will definitely be safer compared to living here."

Anaya suggested something she had just discussed with Lian Yu and the group.

Considering the impending calamity which awaited Atlantis, and the stupid antics of some clans towards them, it was the safest option.

Also, she knew no clan would dare try anything stupid against them again, and they would all keep their arrogant young masters in check after what Kailen had just done to Clandestine, but she didn’t want to take any risks.

Naturally, the group came to a conclusion that it was the best course of action, and therefore, she decided to ask her parents and siblings about it.

" We agree, sister."

Before his parents and elder sister could even reply, Joseph, the little one, spoke.

Atlantis

Pandora Clan

In a luxurious room in an estate complex villa, a man could be seen seated on a bed in a loose red robe.

Several beautiful women dressed in scarlet gowns were gallivanting around him, giggling as they approached him seductively.

This man was the current leader of the Pandora Clan, about to have an epic showdown with his harem.

Despite his lascivious nature, he performed the duties of clan leader judiciously, and therefore, he was really adored by the members of the clan, and the Pandora clan was highly respected in Atlantis.

Suddenly, he heard approaching footsteps.

With his perception, he saw that his second and youngest son was approaching his bedroom with a worried expression on his face.

" Leave."

The moment the clan leader spoke, the beautiful women were startled.

However, they regained their composure a moment later and nodded obediently, their figures flashing and disappearing from the room.

Before his son could even knock politely on the door, he sighed, a sense of impending crisis encroaching on him, as he said,

" Come in."

His son entered the hall with an extremely worried demeanor on his face as he stared at his father.

" What is it, son?"

His son sighed, then asked him a question.

" Father, were you the one who ordered brother to visit the Robertson Villa—the villa at the border of the second slum district—to ask for the hand in marriage of the youngest daughter of the Robertsons?"

The clan leader couldn’t help but squint his eyes in confusion.

He had no idea what his son was talking about.

On noticing this expression on his father’s face, the young man had his answer.

He sighed deeply.

" My suspicions were on point. It seems he acted without your orders. Take a look at this." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Curiously, as the feeling of crisis increased, the clan leader received a notification.

His son could discern that his father was watching the video on his ID slot screen, staring at the empty space in front of him with a completely confused, sad, angry, and helpless expression on his face.

After watching the video, the man surprisingly regained his former composure.

Despite seeing the horror and torment his son had experienced in the video at the hands of Kailen Darkhaven, he didn’t act out, lash around, or insult anyone.

This shocked his son deeply.

He had never expected his father to behave so composed after seeing the horrifying death of his son at the hands of someone else.

The man walked towards his youngest son and tapped his shoulder.

" You must be wondering why I am calm and composed after what I just watched. It’s not that I don’t care about the death of your brother, and it’s not like I’m not feeling angry and hurt, but your brother acted stupidly and offended someone we shouldn’t offend."

" Someone we shouldn’t offend?"

" Yes, son. Follow the news well. That young lady, Anaya, is connected to Kailen Darkhaven, and that young man you saw in the video killing your brother is Kailen Darkhaven."

The moment his son heard this, he finally understood why the person in the video looked so familiar.

A sense of helplessness and terror washed over him as he spoke in realization.

" The Black Flask who destroyed the Harkers, Arcane Empowerment Sect, and exacted revenge on his uncle by massacering the Darkhaven Clan?

And just killed Rango Revearson?

The young prodigy who is also a runesmith with a rune skill proficiency of ninety-nine percent, and the youngest emotional realm painter in the history of the empire?

The painter of Inevitability—an emotional realm painting so profound that it toppled Anthony Cruz’s Cruz Paradox and earned Kailen Darkhaven the attention and favor of a mysterious rank seven supreme stage galactic level lifeform?

Why would brother offend someone with the backing of a powerhouse standing at the peak of low-tier civilizations?"

The clan leader sighed helplessly.

" Your brother perhaps thought that if he could get the youngest daughter of the Robertsons to marry him, he could secure a close relationship with Kailen Darkhaven for us, like the Revearson clan has.

He wanted to use this opportunity to prove himself more useful to the clan and outshine you, so that the decision of him being the heir would not change.

But ambition without restraint is nothing more than a blade pointed at one’s own throat. His ambition clouded his judgment, and this is the outcome.

We are fortunate that Kailen Darkhaven didn’t take this grudge further."

His son sighed.

" Brother was always too impulsive."

His father nodded in agreement, then gestured for him to sit beside him as he spoke.

" If you want to go far in life and survive, you must maintain a clear head and know who to offend and who not to offend, no matter how grand your ambitions are.

Power decides what you can do, but wisdom decides whether you live long enough to do it.

If at the end of the day you are not alive, there will be no ambitions to fulfill."

" Noted, father."

" Perhaps we should locate Kailen Darkhaven and apologize to him for what your brother did."

" He just left Atlantis, father, according to a report I just received. Also, the Robertsons will be staying with the Revearsons from now on."

" Sigh... it seems the Revearson clan’s rise is set in stone from now on with Kailen Darkhaven’s backing. To think your brother would do something so stupid that robbed us of an opportunity to be on good terms with him. The best thing we can do is to remain on good terms with the Revearsons."

" I agree, father. Also, about the video—Kailen Darkhaven spread it throughout all Atlantis’ media forums."

" Heheh. Ruthless and tactical, as they say. He intends to use the video of your brother’s death to send a message to all the clans in Atlantis not to try to mess with anyone he cares about.

Order the elders of the clan to stay out of the Revearson clan and the matters of the Robertsons. If anyone tries something stupid, I’ll behead them myself."

" Yes, father."
