He Became A Monstrous Genius After Obtaining A Time Dilation Artifact

"What I'm about to tell you is something we haven't breathed a word of to anyone " Bianca said.

She added " It's too shocking that the moment this news leaves this room or someone breaths a word of it to anyone and we are identified as the source of this information, we'd be branded empire criminals and probably killed on the spot"

Kailen inhaled sharply, his gaze dimmed in shock , as if he had released the profundity and terror of this secret.

Noticing that he had digested her words carefully ,Bianca layered further.

Then she voiced " The crown prince"

The moment the words landed, Kailen's eyes widened in extreme shock, after which his expression of shock bled into anger.

Bianca ,Cyco and Nuel noticed Kailen wa literally shaking in anger. His arms were moving erratically ,and the mysteriously enigmatic gaze in his eyes had turned extremely cold and threatening .

They figured that the only reason why the kid was reigning in his anger was probably because he knew that making a scene by smashing stuff, bellowing in rage and launching affinity attacks to vent his frustrations- and all the cliche stuff angry people do in movies , was not gonna change anything.

Bianca proceeded " The crown prince of the empire was the co conspirator with Cyrus, behind the attack on your parents and grandfather "

As a sea of bottled anger subtly churned within him ,Kailen said " Is Jackson aware of this ?"

Kailen asked. Since the trio said they were his father's friends , Kailen figured they were probably close with Jackson , and he probably knew about this.

But to his surprise , Nuel replied "Nah. Even Jackson isn't aware of what we just shared with you.

We didn't tell him because we didn't want to get him into trouble .

Knowing how he is, he wouldn't be alive right now if he knew. He'd try to get revenge in a very careless way and get himself killed.

Jackson can lose his reason when it comes to your parents . We were all close to him, but Jackson , he was the closest to them, especially your father"

Kailen sighed deeply. He agreed with their reasoning. Jackson had become more miserable than anyone after what happened to them.

But still he deserved to know.

Anyway that was the least of his thoughts right now.

The part about whether or not they were being honest with him about the crown prince instigating the attack was out of the picture .

After all, Kailen had a skill that could literally detect lies.

What he wanted to ask next was how they found out the Crown Prince of the Empire, a rank 4 supreme stage ascendant level lifeform , banded with Cyrus to orchestrate an attack on his parents.

" How did you find out about this?"

Bianca sighed, as if a weight of painful memories had just settled in her eyes ,and on her shoulders.

The scenes were vivid in her mind, as if they rolled on a screen before her.

" I remember it like yesterday …"

—

—--

Several centuries ago.

Bianca ,Cyco and Nuel leaped out of their spaceships .

The sounds of battle cries reverberating through the Darkhaven estate resounded in the environs.

" Are we too late?"

Bianca muttered , completely worried .

Although she felt resentful that Selena had landed Saul in the end , she was still her friend, and Cyrus ,well… It was complicated. He was still her friend though.

Not like she had a choice right ?

He was married now.

But the feelings , they just wouldn't go away.

She was worried that something would happen to him.

Also, if something happened to Selena, he'd lose it , would he be able to move on?.

He'd become miserable ,and she didn't want that.

And Selena, the vixen might have stolen the man she loved, but still, they were friends. She wished nothing bad had happened to her, at least, for his sake.

" Please be safe"

She muttered, engrossed in her thoughts.

As they neared the scene, Nuel suddenly veiled them with an invisibility rune cloak he had bought for these kinds of situations.

He had sensed something was not right.

The battle cries and the incessant clash of battle cries and affinities dwindle down, giving way to a calm eerie silence.

From a distance , they could observe that the members of the Sword Tribunal Sect were leaving.

Veiled far away from the presence of the Sword Tribunal Sect members , they observed everything.

" It seems they decided to back down, as no side was winning " Cyco analysed.

Nuel and Bianca nodded.

" But we are their friends right. We can't just stand here. We need to check if they are alive right? If they've been captured ,we can find a way to save them"

The trio knew what they wanted to attempt was dangerous , but they didn't care.

Their friends were in danger ,possibly held as prisoners , and even worse, the mad Cyrus, who always had an eye for Selena would even resort to indecent means to have her.

Quickly they charged towards the Darkhaven estate, still veiled in the invisibility rune cloak.

As they neared the place , what they saw shocked them.

" What is the crown prince doing here ?"

Cyco muttered.

" Don't tell me he's in on it with the crown prince?" Ethan added, shocked.

" But why -"

" Shut up you guys and just listen to their conversation , maybe we can learn something that can help us rescue Saul and Selena " Bianca silenced them both .

Quickly they decided to listen in on the conversation from a distance .

" Bring the child!"

The crown prince voiced in a domineering tone that sent shivers running down Cyrus' spine for some reason .

The trio could see Cyrus kneeling before the crown prince , as if he was begging him to reconsider something .

Then—

The crown prince lashed out.

" We had a deal , Mr Darkhaven.

I wanted Saul Darkhaven dead!

Fucking dead!

In exchange for helping you get rid of your father, I wanted your brother dead!! Dead!

Is this not something we both wanted?

Didn't we both want him dead?

The bastard killed my nephew during our time in the academy , and humiliated me after that in the life and death arenas in front of so many academy students!

I finally thought I had him, thought I'd make him pay.

But you had to just let him get away!

Didn't you want him dead because you think he's a threat to your fortune? and that you coveted his wife?.

It seems that was not any sort of motivation to you right?"

—

The trio , listening to this from a veiled distance ,heaved sighs of relief that at least their friends had managed to escape safely.

The crown prince suddenly stopped berating Cyrus Darkhaven ,head bowed and cowering in fear beneath his feet!

The prince stared at him with a callous expression.

Cyrus knew he was not joking.

" Please , spare me"

The prince snorted " Do you want me to burn your stupid clan to the ground?

Nah, that would be too easy. Bring the boy!"

A young man who looked to be in his mid teens ,was brought in by the men of the crown prince .

The moment the boy appeared , he noticed his father on the ground and in a miserable state ,so he shouted .

" Dad, what's going on?"

" Stupid child!Just obey the prince "

Cyrus didn't even look the boy in the eye. He straightway abandoned his son to save his skin .

The trio observed everything from where they were with complicated and shocked expressions on their faces ..

" What is he going to let the crown Prince do to his son?"

The crown prince touched the boy's neck, then faintly started absorbing his life force .

" The crown Prince is a vimodial contractor ?"

The trio were extremely shocked.

The crown prince's absurd growth speed after graduation from the academy , now made sense to them.

However ,Cyrus was completely quiet, as if the whole thing had nothing to do with him.

The crown prince finally stopped , after a few seconds and threw the boy to the side.

Bam!

The boy started crying , horrified at what had just happened.

Cyrus was acting like he didn't care about what his son had just experienced ,but his clenched bleeding fists said otherwise.

On noticing this , the crown prince snickered.

" You are acting like you don't care about little Bryce here. But clearly ,you do.

Find Saul Darkhaven , else not only will I raze your clan to the ground, your son dies.

As for that stupid sect that came here to interfere, I don't know when , but we will eliminate them on a day it where it will hit them the most"
