Henry, Felix, and anyone else who tried to kill Aiden would not go unpunished.
Once the effect of Twin Coin wore off, he could quickly use his accumulated experience to improve his four stats.
Plus the blessing from the Supre Miko, unless a divine powerhouse attacked him directly, he would be hard to kill.
"Want to kill ? Just because of you?" Henry’s pupils suddenly widened, then quickly returned to normal.
His eyes flashed with cruelty as he said coldly,
"Aiden, if you give those Soul Essences, I’ll make your death less painful. Otherwise..."
Henry didn’t finish his sentence before he saw Aiden laugh in disgust.
"What happens otherwise?"
"Are you still going to try to take them in front of everyone?"
As he spoke, Aiden took out another Starlight Rank Soul Essence and held it in his hand, then reached out toward Henry.
Henry kept his mouth closed tight, his eyes fixed on Aiden’s hand.
At the sa ti, Luke, who was now fully in battle mode, took a step forward.
If Henry made a move, Luke would attack without hesitation, letting out his anger.
Of course, he wouldn’t actually kill Henry.
Luke knew that as long as the Empress of the Great Shaw Empire, Eira, didn’t show a desire to kill Henry, he was still the prince of the Great Shaw Empire.
It had to be said, no matter when, privileges always stayed.
Henry had broken the laws of the Great Shaw Empire many tis, yet he was still alive — that was the special treatnt of royal family mbers.
These royal family mbers won’t do anything that betrays humanity or the Great Shaw Empire. If they do, they’ll end up dead in the end.
Luke took a deep breath and walked over to the big axe. He picked it up and turned back to stare at Henry, saying:
"This ti, I won’t let the sa thing happen again. If you try to hurt Aiden..."
"I, Luke, will do whatever it takes..."
"I’ll kill you, Logan, and all your other children!"
The words were full of hatred. They ca from Luke’s mouth with a serious look and a serious face. No exaggeration, no threat.
He was just saying what he truly felt.
Luke thought the Great Shaw Empire had too many corrupt people. It was ti to clean them up.
Right now, he was just a Level 79 Reclaser. He couldn’t do much.
But if he didn’t care about living, killing Logan and dying with Henry was no problem at all.
When people heard Luke’s words, they reacted differently.
Atlas frowned and looked around at the Reclasers taking videos with their phones. He imdiately said to Luke,
"Enough, Luke. You’re being too impulsive. You said the wrong thing. You need to calm down for now."
He was worried that this event would get out and that Felix and the other ministers would use it against Luke.
Those guys always ignored the bad stuff unless it helped them.
For example, when Henry threatened Aiden, the ministers like Felix would stay quiet and act like nothing happened.
"Henry, this is a farce. You all are acting too wild and losing your minds. Let’s stop now," Atlas said slowly, looking at Henry.
Henry’s face was dark, and he looked a little scared.
If soone else said that, Henry wouldn’t care at all. After all, he was the prince of the Great Shaw Empire and the brother of Empress Eira.
But with Luke, Henry actually beca careful.
He was sure that Luke would do exactly what he said.
That guy was a total madman, with cruel thods that made people feel cold.
Henry took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and looked away from Luke, then at Aiden.
He bit his teeth and said, "I just need enough Soul Essences to heal Logan. Give them to , and we can put our fight aside for now."
"I’ll let you go."
Aiden looked at Henry’s tight fists and the flash of killing intent in his eyes.
He found it funny. This guy was just too full of himself.
Even now, he was still acting arrogant.
Sotis, people do crazy things, but in their own eyes, it all makes sense.
The world isn’t full of normal people. Most just seem normal and can take care of themselves.
Aiden quickly gathered all the Soul Essences around him, then looked at Henry and said coldly, "Whether you let live or not is your problem."
"The real issue is, I don’t want this to end here. You and Logan haven’t paid a heavy price yet."
"What?" Henry’s eyes opened wide. He had already made a big compromise!
But Aiden was still acting arrogant, wanting them to pay a heavy price.
His son, Logan, was still in a coma, lying in bed and unable to move. Wasn’t that enough?
"Aiden! You’re going too far! Any genius can fail at any ti. You know that, right?" Henry’s voice was angry and a little worried.
"I get it. Are you still angry about breaking into the palace back then?"
"But you’re fine now, right? You’re not hurt, and you didn’t lose anything."
Henry just couldn’t understand Aiden’s actions. All he had to do was give up those Soul Essences, and he would have one less enemy. But Aiden refused to do it!
Aiden listened to Henry’s words and stayed calm.
He had no desire to explain anything.
As long as Henry was alive, Aiden would never feel at peace.
A simple example: imagine Aiden had a neighbor who once pointed a gun at him and pulled the trigger.
But the gun jamd, and Aiden wasn’t hurt. The neighbor didn’t go to jail and still lived next door.
No normal person would act like nothing happened.
Aiden wasn’t different. Others might move away to stay safe.
But Aiden wanted to take care of the danger — to end it once and for all.
"I’m looking forward to seeing if you’ll beg for rcy or apologize when you’re about to die," Aiden said with a smile. Then he walked straight toward the door behind Henry, without hesitation.
Luke followed right behind him.
Henry stared at Aiden and Luke’s backs, his face dark with anger. He shouted, "You’ll regret this!"
"Aiden, before long, you’ll realize how stupid your words were!"
"By then, even if you beg , it’ll be too late!"
As soon as he finished speaking, soone in the crowd of Reclasers let out a quiet laugh.
Henry turned quickly and looked at the crowd.
"Who’s laughing?!"
The crowd went silent imdiately. Many people lowered their heads, not wanting to get in trouble with the prince of the Great Shaw Empire.
Only after Henry left the Reclaser Association hall did people start talking loudly again,
"Co on, yelling at us does nothing. If you’re so strong, make Aiden hand over those Soul Essences!"
"Exactly! Aiden isn’t giving in, and it’s making Henry furious. He has nowhere to take it out, so he just acts tough in front of us!"
"To be honest, Aiden is really strong. No one has ever talked to Henry like that before."
"I’m worried, though. What if Aiden actually gets in trouble? What if Henry tries to attack him when he gets the chance and kills him?"
"Hey, that’s not possible. If Henry did that, it would cause a big public outcry. The queen would definitely have him killed!"
"What good would that do? Would it bring Aiden back to life?"
"True... but it’s just so angry words. Henry wouldn’t be that stupid, right?"
"If sothing happens to Aiden, everyone will think it was Henry."
Atlas listened to the people talking around him and frowned. He turned to look at Jade, Victor, and Vespera and said quickly,
"Go get your Class Change missions first. I have sothing important to take care of."
Then he hurried away.
Victor and the others went to the front desk to get their missions, while Nellie stayed behind, watching the door of the Reclaser Association. She quietly asked Gareth,
"This Aiden, he’s not even high level, but he dared to talk to Henry like that. Does he have so strong secret, or is he just stupid?"
Gareth didn’t hesitate at all. He said, "Don’t underestimate Aiden. I don’t know much about him, but from his expression and tone, I think even if Henry attacked, he wouldn’t be able to kill him."
Nellie’s eyes widened. Henry was a Level 80 Reclaser, and Aiden was only around Level 40.
The gap in power between Reclasers grows bigger as their levels go up. A Level 40 Reclaser is like a little rabbit in front of a Level 80 — completely helpless.
...
In the Sovereign City, in a villa.
Luke was resting in the living room, while Aiden went back to his bedroom and closed the door.
He had finished his Class Change mission. Now it was ti to use the Epic Rank Demon’s Heart to raise his professional tier.
"I wonder what kind of upgrade the special skill Apprentice’s Heart will give this ti," Aiden said, taking a deep breath.
