Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1337

Chapter 1337 - The Prodigals’ Return (Part 1)

Lith used Invigoration as well, but unlike Tista, his face remained expressionless as he studied his enemies.

Orpal had become surprisingly tall, almost as Lith. He stood 1.82 (6’) tall, with the muscular build of an athlete, black hair, and brown eyes. Despite all the hardsh.i.p.s he was supposed to have gone through, Orpal didn’t look a day past his 25 years of age.

’This is bullshit. He wasn’t this tall when he was kicked out. Sure, he had yet to hit his growth spurt, but no one in my family developed such a physique without my treatments. Solus?’ Lith thought.

’Bright orange core and regular life force, but we know it doesn’t mean much. We wear cloaking device ourselves.’ The idea that Orpal might have access to state secrets was simply absurd but even though Solus had just met Lith’s older brother, the intensity of her hatred for him matched Tista’s.

She wouldn’t lower her guard as long as he drew breath.

As for the Rettas, Kamila’s and Zinya’s parents, they looked like a nice couple, reminding Lith that looks are often deceiving.

Crefas Retta was a man in his mid-fifties, about 1.71 meters (5’7") tall, with greying raven-black hair and mustache. He had the slender built of someone who had a sedentary job, but he exuded an aura of confidence and charisma that intimidated the Verhens.

Kima Retta, instead, was a lovely woman in her late forties that barely looked one day past forty. She was about 1.6 meters (5’3") tall, with light brown hair and sky-blue eyes.

Her visage had delicate proportions, full lips, and the sickly pale color of the northerners masterfully hidden by a light makeup. It made it quite obvious from whom the Yehval sisters had gotten their beauty.

"Professor Vastor, it’s so nice to see you." Lith gave him a small bow to which the Professor replied with a nod of the head. "I’m dead tired from work. Would you mind keeping an eye on the situation in my stead while I clean up?"

"Gladly." Vastor’s stone-cold voice matched his gaze as he clenched the Yggdrasil Staff so hard that his knuckles turned white.

The Dominator armor shielded his black core from mystical senses, whereas his weapon shone like a sun to Solus’s mana sense.

"Thanks. Please, follow me, darling." Lith gave Kamila a quick kiss before dragging her in the bathroom with him and making Orpal turn green with envy.

Even after Night had modified his body to match that of his hated brother, to receive the attention of a woman as pretty as Kamila Orpal still needed Night’s help.

"Are you insane? There is no time for s.e.x now." She said the moment the door closed behind them.

"I just needed privacy." Lith could see her panic and tried to calm her down. He was well aware of the power that even the worst parents had on their children, no matter their age.

Breaking the shackles of blood took more than strong words and good resolutions. It took determination, a cold heart, and lots of pain.

’Calm down, you moron. Your plan will never work if you get your a.s.s kicked.’ Night said via their mind link.

’First Lith ignored me, then Tista disrespected me, and now you want me to cower in front of an old fart? What good is our bond if I can’t teach any of them a lesson?’ Orpal snarled.
