Kayden emerged from the bathroom, adorned in a fresh new outfit gifted to him by the mysterious system. With a determined look on his face, he beckoned Anna and Phoebe to come closer. Taking a jade bracelet with six elegant beads, Kayden broke it in half with ease and fashioned two identical bracelets each with three beads. Handing one to each of the girls, he spoke, "Wear this bracelet whenever you are not with me. It will protect you both three times each."
The system granted its approval as Kayden had asked if it could be divided. Grateful for the added protection, Phoebe and Anna expressed their thanks before bidding Kayden farewell as he set off on his mission to rescue Sophie from the treacherous Santiago family.
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon," Kayden assured them, his eyes blazing with determination and anger at the thought of Sophie being held captive.
Before leaving, he shared a tender kiss with both Anna and Phoebe, leaving them blushing and longing for his safe return. With no time to lose, Kayden activated the seeker jade stone and within moments received the location of Sophie's whereabouts.
Meanwhile…
Inside a luxurious mansion guarded by 50 beginner aura bearers, 15 advance aura bearers and 3 veteran aura bearers . Sophie's shirt was cut revealing her silky smooth skin , her mouth and eyes were covered with a black rug both of her hands and feets were tied with a rope .
Her current appearance was a disheveled mess, with her clothes torn and bloodied. A young man who appeared to be around 19 years old sat on the corner, flanked by three veteran aura bearers dressed in Santiago family outer court disciple uniforms. "That bastard dared to mess with uncle and so he sent me here to take care of him," the young man sneered. He leered at Sophie's figure with lustful eyes. "I must say, that man must be blessed to have such beauties by his side. It was a pity my brother Luke wasn't able to take the other girl as well, but we had to give a warning." The young man approached Sophie's side and roughly removed her bandage. Sophie peered up at him with her calm, beautiful eyes, but inside she was filled with fear over what these pigs might do to her body. The young man held Sophie's chin in his hand. "Ah, what a beauty you are. I will enjoy every moment of fucking you before I give you to my men to have their way with you as well," he sneered, a cruel smile spreading across his face. Sophie's eyes turned dark with anger and determination.
Nicolas, the 7th young master of the esteemed Young family, stood tall and proud as he addressed the trembling girl before him. His aura, tinged with power and privilege, radiated from his body in a palpable wave.
"Allow me to introduce myself," he began smoothly. "I am Nicolas of the Young family, an aura bearer and heir to great fortune. Serve me faithfully until the end of your days, and I will honor you with a place by my side." A sly smile played at the corners of his lips as he glanced at his younger brothers standing nearby.
But Sophie, with fire in her eyes and defiance on her tongue, spat on him without hesitation. Enraged, Nicolas's demeanor changed in an instant. "You scum!" he growled as he delivered a powerful slap to her cheek. The sound echoed through the room as her delicate face crumpled under the force of his blow, leaving a deep wound.
Blood trickled from Sophie's mouth as she struggled to stay upright. Her body weakened from the damage inflicted upon her by this cruel man. But even in this dire situation, she refused to back down.
"I'm going to have my way with you," Nicolas snarled, grabbing Sophie's legs and starting to undress her from below. She kicked and fought against him with all her might, but it was no use against his superior strength.
With each piece of clothing removed, Sophie's once fairy-like body was now exposed to Nicolas and the other men in the room. Their lustful gazes burned into her skin, like hungry wolves sensing their next meal. Fear bubbled up inside of her as she realized the true danger she was in.
Tears streamed down Sophie's face, her sobs echoing through the room. With each passing moment, Nicolas' hands tore at her upper garments, leaving a trail of destroyed fabric in their wake.
And then, with a deafening boom, the door that was specifically crafted to withstand such forces was shattered.
"Who?!" Nicolas shouted, his rage evident in every word. The three veteran aura bearers who were present could sense the tension in the air and immediately snapped to attention.
A figure clad in all black emerged from the wreckage, their eyes ablaze with unbridled fury. "System upgrade my level," they snarled. "This entire family deserves to die."
There is an old saying that one should never touch a dragon's reverse scale, lest it brings about certain death.
...Ding... 2100 HP deducted...2200 HP deducted...2300 HP deducted...2400 HP deducted... A total of 9000 HP lost in an instant.
And then, a colossal aura burst forth from the mysterious figure, suffocating everyone in its path. The three veteran aura bearers were shocked - Luke had claimed this man was only a fellow veteran like them, but his aura surpassed even that of Master Luke. They had awoken a demon.
The air was thick with tension as the veteran aura stood still, their bodies rigid and ready for action. But before they could make a move, a feeling of emptiness overcame them. In a matter of seconds, their bodies disintegrated into a pile of blood, leaving nothing but a crimson stain on the ground.
Witnessing this horrific scene, Nicolas, who had been holding Sophie's bra, jumped to his feet in shock. "You...you!" he stammered, his eyes wide with horror. He quickly brandished his family background as a threat towards Kayden. "If you kill me, the Santiago family will have their revenge on you and your other wives!"
Kayden turned to face him, his expression unreadable. Seconds later, he appeared before Sophie, who lay injured and pale. "Sophie, I'm here," he said softly. "I'm sorry I'm late." Sophie opened her eyes and reached out to touch Kayden's face. "Kayden," she cried.
Meanwhile, Nicolas remained standing as he prepared to grab his gun. His voice trembled as he spoke, "Santiago family huh? Well, from today onwards the Santiago family will cease to exist."
But Kayden's aura surged with power as he declared, "No one is allowed to look at my wife's body except me." Sophie, still weak and pale, managed to smile through her pain. "Yes, I am only yours," she whispered.
Kayden gently brushed a strand of hair from Sophie's face. "Close your eyes," he instructed. "This will be over soon."
Suddenly, a figure emerged from the shadows and walked towards them. It was clear that fear consumed their features.
Nicolas exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Luke!"
The unexpected news of a young man becoming a king left Kayden reeling. He knew all too well the struggles that came with being part of a royal family, constantly under threat from others seeking power. "I did not expect such a burden to fall on someone so young," he said somberly, as he thought of his own family's tragic history. "But I fear there is no escaping it - we have seen kings of your caliber come and go, each bringing their own brand of violence and chaos that only brings temporary peace."
"I know," Kayden's brother Luke sighed, shoulders slumped in defeat.
"Then it is decided..." Luke trailed off, unable to finish his sentence.
"Brother, what do you mean? I don't want to die!" Nicolas growled, eyes darting between the two brothers.
"There is nothing I can do," Luke replied, his voice heavy with resignation.
And with that, Kayden released his powerful aura, causing both Nicolas and Luke - once formidable lords themselves - to crumble into nothing but a pile of blood at his feet. "I am sorry you had to witness this, Sophie," he said gently to the trembling girl beside him. "I promise I will never let such violence touch us again."
Sophie nodded, her trust in him unshaken even after witnessing the brutal display of power. "Let us return home now," she suggested softly. "Anna must be waiting for us."
