Limitless Fortune: I Collect SSS-Rank Skills as Payment-Chapter 51: Summoning

Cedric hugged Lucien’s shoulder with a wide arm and reassured him.

Just like Seraphine, he was also quite happy that Lucien thought about their family. freēnovelkiss.com

But just like he said, Malcolm was out of a coma. That meant their Goldveil family suddenly gained their peak power.

Although it was still rumored that he was injured, just his presence was enough.

A Peak Weaver Rank Beast Tamer was no joke, even if he was injured.

"He has recovered?"

Sure enough, Lucien was surprised by his father’s words.

If that were true, then things would be far less complicated. For one, Dorian wouldn’t act recklessly without reason.

"Then, can I meet him?"

After being surprised, Lucien asked without hesitation, his face becoming serious again.

No matter what, he didn’t want his family dragged into the chaos of the Domain Dungeon. The Edoria Royal family was too strong, and their family was no match for now.

Besides, with the system on his side, all they needed was time, and he would grow strong.

Strong enough that no one could ever make his family bow their heads again.

’Even if it meant becoming ruthless.’

Definitely.

Lucien’s eyes narrowed, his conviction burning brighter, not realizing he had begun to change.

As he slowly embraced this world of fantasy, his behavior was beginning to shift, unmistakably and irreversibly.

In truth, he was adapting fast.

He had already killed someone and didn’t even flinch when he saw a person being devoured alive.

Where before he hesitated to use his ability on people, held back by risk... and maybe something like conscience...

Now, his mind was constantly spinning, conjuring countless ruthless methods to grow stronger, faster.

Honestly, it was also a manifestation of greed and lust for power.

He had been infected.

"Meet him?"

Cedric raised his eyebrows, having never thought Lucien would want to meet his grandfather. If anything, this guy would run a hundred miles if Malcolm were nearby.

After all, he always got scolded pretty badly whenever they met.

"No, he doesn’t want to meet anyone. I just heard his voice, that’s all."

Although surprised, Cedric still shook his head. Malcolm had just come out of a coma and wasn’t ready to see anyone.

Lucien could only wait.

"That’s unfortunate."

Lucien also thought it was a pity.

"Then, let’s go. We’ll talk about it once we’re home," he decided.

At least with his grandfather awake, their family had a bit of breathing room now. He could think of a solution within that window.

"Yeah, let’s go. You must be hungry too. I’ll ask the maid to make some dinner."

Seraphina nodded with a smile, watching Lucien ready to enter the carriage.

Only, the moment Lucien tried to step into the carriage, a strange sensation gripped him.

He suddenly felt that the air around him... shifted while an eerie stillness fell over everything like a suffocating blanket.

...Silence... pitch-black stillness...

It was as if some kind of invisible magic had pressed down on the world, smothering even the wind.

The air grew heavy, and the temperature seemed to drop, causing a faint shiver to run down his spine.

’What happened?’

Lucien’s body tensed instinctively.

Even Seraphine and Cedric immediately became serious.

Feeling the change, his mother’s hand glided to her side with practiced grace, pulling out a slender staff that flickered faintly with defensive enchantments.

His father, on the other hand, was already holding a long sword, his entire stance screaming full alertness.

Just in a second, it felt like the entire world had paused, holding its breath.

As time passed, the eerie silence grew more suffocating, as if the shadows themselves were watching.

"Lucien, go inside the carriage."

Cedric felt that the situation was really bad, as even he and Seraphina couldn’t locate the enemy until now.

They had already noticed that the enemy was far beyond their rank. So, he decided that his priority should be to send his son to safety no matter what.

"No need, Cedric. It is just me."

Fortunately, before they thought it was going to be a deadly encounter, the suffocating silence suddenly disappeared.

The air and environment returned to normal, just like before. Only the faint voice of someone echoed, addressing Cedric.

"Sir Velmara?"

Cedric immediately recognized who it was by the voice and visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

His forehead was already covered with sweat. Not only him, but Seraphine also breathed a sigh of relief, although her expression wasn’t good.

"Yeah, Malcolm sent me here."

The voice seemed to affirm Cedric.

However, Lucien noticed that from the beginning to the end, Velmara never appeared in front of them.

"Father sent you? What does he have to say?"

Cedric didn’t seem surprised by just a voice, as if it were the normal style of his father’s pet.

So, he just put aside his sword and asked aloud.

"Well, he heard what happened here. So... he wants to meet his grandson. He asked me to bring him to his place."

Velmara said, a tinge of curiosity mixed in his voice.

’Grandfather wants to meet me?’

Hearing him, not only Cedric and Seraphine, even Lucien was surprised.

’Didn’t Father say just now he doesn’t want to meet anyone? Why change now?’

Lucien thought, feeling confused.

"Well, maybe he heard you awaken your class and wants to meet you."

Seraphine guessed from the side, seeing him confused.

"Yeah, and you wanted to meet him anyway. So, just go with Sir Velmara, you will be safer that way."

Cedric also nodded and signaled him to leave, his expression a little serious.

"No need to worry. The old man just wants to meet his grandson, nothing more. Let’s go now."

Velmara didn’t seem to be a patient owl, as he directly cut their conversation short.

Then, suddenly, a gust of wind swept toward Lucien out of nowhere, and before he could say anything, he was lifted off his feet and carried away, vanishing from his spot in an instant.

Taken by the wind.

It was so fast and swift that Lucien didn’t even have time to struggle.

He could only curse inwardly.

’Damn it, can you at least wait to hear if I agree first?’

Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do now but let himself be carried off, drifting through the wind, with no control, no direction.

"Lucien?"

The only good thing about this unexpected flight was that he managed to avoid Liora, who was no doubt ready to pester him for gold coins again.

Well... at least something went right.
