Chapter 6 - Chapter 6: Young Master (5)

"So, that's the guy I need to befriend," he thought, considering something as he asked, "Being the young master of your household, how does it feel?" It was a question he couldn't answer because, whether he was a young master or not, nothing had changed in his life except for luxurious things.

Mike pondered his next words carefully and then just sighed, "Honestly, being in a family like mine, even if I'm not the most talented, I was chosen as the young master. I would want to ask why, but still can't figure out the answer. Was it out of pity or something else? So really, I can't answer that question because I'm also lost."

Elijah sighed, his interest piqued as he stared at the manor door. Other young masters and Miss did the same, sensing the presence. The door opened, and a young man with brown hair and silver-like eyes gazed around, emitting a greater pressure than any of the other young masters.

Elijah only smiled; his blood started boiling, and he wondered something, but remembering his promise, he calmed down. "Who's he?" he asked.

Mike frowned for a second as he entered, and upon hearing Elijah's question, his expression returned to normal as he replied, "He is one of the Seven Miracles."

"The Seven Miracles?" Elijah questioned with a confused expression.

"You're a young master, how don't you know this?" Mike sighed and explained, "The Seven Miracles are seven people of our age who have accomplished something none have ever done. All of them are born with a special power, making them undefeated by their peers."

"This guy is the White Tiger, Victor," he said. "Why is he here?"

Victor was wearing white Japanese clothes as he walked down and noticed Mike from afar. Seeing this, Mike was about to turn around, but the man had already appeared beside him. "Mike, why are you running away?"

"Victor, why are you here?" Mike asked with a frown on his face.

The smile on Elijah's face grew, and before he could even talk to Victor, he was talking to Mike. He stopped and stared at Cain coming their way. "I got bored and wondered about places to go, so I came here after my brother stopped me from entering the gladiator."

"Okay, then why are you with me of all people?"

"You are the only person I know here," he answered with a laugh.

On the other side, Cain reached them, and Elijah tried to introduce himself and started his mission, "Hey, Cain, my name is Elijah." The person just stared at him with a cold smile and ignored him.

"Was my approach wrong?" he wondered, seeing him stopping beside Victor.

"Victor, would you like to taste our 5-star cuisine?" he said with a charming smile.

"Yes, please, and good to see you again, Mike," he said before leaving.

"How do you know him?" Elijah didn't bother with Cain and went back to Mike's side.

"You don't know anything, do you?" he said with a smile. "That's because my sister is one of the Seven Miracles." He stared at Elijah's face and thought he was going to see a reaction, but he didn't.

"So, you should know if they're that strong, right?" Elijah smiled.

Seeing Elijah's eyes, he said, "As I said, none of our age can match them." Hearing those few words, Elijah walked forward, and Mike didn't stop him, interested in what he was going to do.

"Victor!" he shouted, gaining everyone's attention. "You said you were bored, right? How about we have a friendly duel?" Everyone was shocked and stunned by his words, and Victor reacted with a smile.

Before answering Elijah's invitation, Cain responded, "What?! A lower class like you asking one of the Seven Miracles for a duel? Don't make me laugh, hahahahaha." He laughed, and everyone else followed. A few stayed quiet, the same for Victor, who just stared into Elijah's eyes, seeing no hesitation and confidence that he would win.

"Leave Mr. Victor alone," Cain answered.

"I didn't ask you," his cold response made Cain even more forceful. Elijah already had a bad experience with him, so he didn't want to act friendly.

"Do you know who I am, you lowlife?" he said, closing the distance.

Taking his eyes away from Victor, he stared at Cain and said, "Does it matter?"

"Hahahahahaha, I can destroy your family with a single word from my mouth. So, would you like to keep going?" Knowing this involved Miss Ava and Amy, he almost backed down.

But Miss Amy's voice came, and she said, "Say your family name, Young Master." Hearing the confidence in her words, Elijah stepped forward.

"My name is Elijah Dominic, of the Dominic family." He said, and the whole place went silent, even the young master Cain stepped back a little, with Victor laughing and Mike shocked. The atmosphere became tense, and all eyes were on Cain's response.

"What should I do? If I back down..." Backing down at this moment would lower his status and show his fear of the Dominic family. Also, his family would punish him. So, considering his situation, he sensed no mana from the person in front of him. Considering his options, he said, "It seems like we can't involve our families, being both of the 15 royal families. So, let's do it by ourselves, which means let's fight it out."

"I have no problems with that."
