Chapter 55 - Lux Vermillion

Daisy and Raven had a loving Date just by roaming inside the White Cloud City . The city had nothing extremely special to deliver except the warm people and Auction Hall .

The people maybe due to the protection provided by the Floating Cloud Sect, had no worries so they fully devoted themselves to their work . Even the laborers had smiles on their faces as they sent their sons and daughters to various schools . Empires focused much attention on the professions like management , business and politics . So there were many schools regarding such studies. The world was inclined over cultivation but ever since the barrier separated the Northern Region from other regions , this region continued with a unique civilization .

The natural resources were now present in limited quantities after being plundered for thousands of years . So the Empires and Sects have imposed many rules on their distribution. So now the resources in public areas were harvested under many restrictions to ensure the further growth in future .

The White Cloud City fell under the rule of Vermillion Empire thus for the sake of maintaining good relationship with the Sect , the royal family had dispatched their own blood for governing the city . The governor of this city was named Lux Vermillion .

He was one other brothers of the current Emperor of the Empire so he knew many secrets which were unknown to many ministers and others . One such secret was the existence of Max and Daisy Vermillion inside the Floating Cloud Sect .

Max became an orphan at a very young age so he changed his last name to Vermillion after marrying Mancy Vermillion . Mancy was the most outstanding genius of the Vermillion Family at that time . So they decisively let her become a disciple of The Floating Cloud Sect to gain benifit from their heritage and also improving the relationship between two powers. Sadly the secret was found by the Rival Empires thus they chose to eliminate Mancy using despicable means called poison.

The poison was somehow imported from the Western Region and had cold attribute which countered the fire attribute of Vermillion Clan. Naturally the Royal family and Mark tried to produce the antidote but alas Mancy was weak after giving birth to Daisy so she was unable to endure for more time and perished.

The most vexing matter was that , the family could not have their revenge as they did not even know the exact identity of their enemy . There were many enemies of Vermillion Family but all of them were powerful enough to have connections with the Western Region. Without evidence, it was impossible to link to one and the Empire was powerless against so many enemies at once . The Sect placed much importance on Mancy but they also had no way to find the perpetrator thus could only give up in the end.

Daisy was not mentioned about this truth but they had no idea that Daisy had already known this cruel truth when she was just but 11 years of age . She had accidentally heard a Vermillion Family guest mumbling about this matter when they came to visit Mark . Afterwords , Daisy cried but steeled her heart to have her revenge too . She deliberately acted cheerful but had to hide the truth behind her smile .

Lux was an extremely busy person as he had to manage the affairs of whole city . But he also heard about all the unique matters first than others . He was sitting inside his office battling with paperwork but flew out of the room when a minister mentioned that his niece Daisy was spotted outside the city .

In fact Mancy was the princess of the Royal Family and being the only girl child , all of them adored her . Lux also showered her with love and went to visit her at least once a week even before he became the Governor of White Cloud City . Now Daisy was his apple for the eye because he was unmarried and did not plan to either .

When Raven and Daisy were planning to leave the city , a middle aged man wearing light golden red robes stopped their advance .

" Daisy , did you forget to visit your uncle ? I know that we had a fight with your father but he is just being stubborn and we have long since forgiven him . Come , let's have a nice dinner inside my mansion . "

Lux had loving expression on his face but Raven came between him and Daisy after he advanced towards Daisy . Daisy wanted to say something but Lux became enraged and unleashed his aura of 7th Level Martial Peak Realm .

Raven also countered with his own aura but it was long short despite him being much powerful than his peers . He had just entered the Martial Soldier Realm and was not able to contend with Lux on even grounds. But Raven also barely managed to hold his ground but his spirit was exhausting at an alarming rate .

" Daisy, do you know this uncle ? He seems to know you though.. "

Raven just smiled brightly at Daisy but sweat was forming on his forehead . He could swear that he had never felt this much powerless before. Raven steeled his heart to cultivate madly when he reached back to the Sect . But first he had to get out of this precadement to do so .

Daisy finally snapped " Uncle , what are you doing? Stop now ! He is Raven my boyfriend!"

Hearing those words , Lux retracted his aura back but his face was devoid of colour . He was too shocked because his cute niece was already old enough to have a boyfriend . Lux shot a glare at Raven but could do nothing else . He was extremely jealous of Raven who even toured the city with his niece while she actually did not even try to visit him .
