Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 714: Silence, will you?



Within a grand arena, rows of eager spectators filled the seats encircling the circular battle stage at the center, where two demi-humans clashed fiercely. Their movements were a blur of skill and power as they fought for victory. The air crackled with electric energy as the crowd cheered and placed bets on the fighters, captivated by the skill and ferocity on display.

At the far end of the enthusiastic crowd, Kyle sat comfortably in a chair with one leg draped casually over the other, observing the scene before him with an inscrutable gaze. For some reason, he cleared his ear, his eyes narrowing in concentration.

"Hmm, why have I been feeling like someone's talking about me?"

Bia, who was seated beside him, and the twin demi-humans in front turned to him at the sound of his murmur.

They had entered the place known as the mission hall, and after Kyle surveyed the area where the elders posted missions for the youngsters, they went into one of the battle arenas within the building. However, they had been sitting here for the past few hours because, for some reason, Kyle remained motionless in his spot.

This soft noise the human made was actually the first sound he had produced in the past few hours. Bia tried to get closer to Kyle but quickly retreated when she noticed the solemn expression on his face.

-'What's with him anyway...'

The twins too looked ahead at the battle unfolding in the arena. Unlike Kyle, who seemed unfazed by the numerous stares directed at him, they were starting to feel a bit anxious as they noticed several ladies around them stealing glances at Kyle.

To make things worse, some of those women had partners who were growing increasingly irritated by Kyle's presence! Logan and Mason could only hope that no one would approach Kyle, as they wanted to avoid getting tangled up in any drama!

But their fears soon became reality. A blue-eyed demi-woman sitting next to them glanced over at Kyle with a sweet smile and tried to strike up a conversation with him.

Although she was ignored, her boldness encouraged others to follow suit, and soon a small crowd began to gather around Kyle.

Mason cursed under his breath.

"He's handsome... but what's with these students? It's like they have never seen a good- looking guy before!"

His twin stood up and attempted to disperse the crowd when suddenly an elven man seated behind Kyle sneered at him, a look of disdain in his eyes.

"So what if he's all pretty?"

The elven man scoffed, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Looks don't mean anything if there's nothing beneath the surface."

The remark hung in the air, drawing a few chuckles from those seated around him.

Mason shot a glance at his brother, frustration and fear etched on his face.

This damn elven bastard doesn't even realize who he's provoking! He's practically begging for a death wish and wants to drag everyone in the arena down with him!

However, before Logan could voice his anger at the smug elven man, the blue-eyed woman, who had been overlooked by Kyle earlier, stood up and defended him.

"I'm at the pinnacle of the divine rank, yet I can't seem to sense this human's rank at all. What makes you believe he's weaker than you, especially since you've only just managed to reach the divine rank?"

Her words resonated with the crowd, causing the elven man's sneer to falter, and a few other women began to agree with her, intrigued by her boldness.

Due to the sudden noise, the situation began to escalate, capturing the attention of everyone in the arena.

Logan and Mason started to grow pale. They hesitantly glanced at Kyle, only to find his gaze fixed on the battle stage ahead.

The man seemed utterly indifferent to the events unfolding around him, leaving them uncertain whether to feel relieved or not.

Bia's eyes glimmered with mischief as she savored the spectacle before her.

The elven man rose abruptly, engaging into a fervent dispute with the woman, insisting that she was blinded by the human beauty.

Kyle turned his attention to Bia when he sensed her movement, and swiftly caught her before she could stir up any trouble. His brows were tightly knitted together.

'They just had to make a racket... I was finally beginning to piece together some memories from the past.'

Bia blinked in astonishment at his words reverberating in her mind. So that was the reason he had stayed so motionless in his place for the past few hours?

-'Oh... if I may ask, how much did you remember?'

She looked at him eagerly but was left speechless by his response.

'I remember the Royal Academy entrance test and the time I trained hard to gain entry to the Tower of Opportunity. I also recalled the battle when I conceded defeat to Alec.'

Bia narrowed her eyes.

- 'That's it?'

Kyle glanced down at the little bird in his hand, raising an eyebrow.

'No... it's actually quite meaningful. Reflecting on all these memories, I realize how weak I

truly was back then. But I know what helped me get stronger.'

He didn't mention his bloodline, knowing the phoenix understood him. Bia nodded, her expression deadly serious.

-'Of course! I told you, did not I? You were just a tiny speck in the past! That's why you should be thankful you crossed paths with someone as powerful as me!'

Kyle's eyes flashed with amusement. He acknowledged that he disliked the feelings that came with the knowledge that he was weak in the past. But he knew that he had to embrace that part of himself as well.

Coldness settled in his gaze as he finally turned his attention to the people causing the

commotion around him.

Logan and Mason, who had been trying to disperse the crowd, instinctively froze when they sensed his stare and the sudden chill that began to rise in the air.

A loud voice boomed through the hall, cutting through the numerous voices.

"Silence, will you?"

Instantly, the noise around Kyle faded, replaced by an eerie silence. Not only the people arguing around him but every single person seated in the arena clearly felt it when a sudden dread crept into their hearts; their instincts screamed at them to obey the voice or they would regret it. Even the two fighters on the stage froze in their spots.

Kyle stood up and motioned for the twins, who hurried to his side before he made his way toward the exit of the arena.

"Let's get out of here; this place is crawling with fools who know nothing better."

Bia zipped behind him with a laugh. All of a sudden, she glanced back at the blue-eyed demi- woman, who now looked at Kyle with even deeper admiration. A mischievous glint sparkled in her eyes as she turned around and approached the woman.

-"He is married. You might want to stop staring; his wife is dangerous, you know."

The woman and everyone around her jumped in surprise when the bird piped up. They could only watch in astonishment as the bird darted back behind Kyle.

Only when the human had completely vanished from everyone's view did a faint murmur ripple through the crowd.

"What just... happened? I felt like a heavy pressure descended on me, suffocating me, as if I were on the verge of death..."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

This stammering voice ignited a chorus of reactions from the crowd, and everyone finally erupted in confusion, questioning what had just happened. Had they really been frozen by a

mere voice?

"I felt it too! Who was that human? He wasn't wearing the student uniform!"

"That human exuded such an imposing aura! Just how powerful is he? With just a few simple words, he intimidated so many divine rank individuals!"

The air was thick with tension as whispers swirled around them, each person trying to process

what they had just witnessed.

"Wait... weren't the twins with that human, Logan and Mason? Didn't those two die in the

forest near the city?"

A person from the crowd stood up.

It was the very demi-woman who had abandoned Logan and Mason in the forest when she

saw the massive phoenix.

"We need to inform the elders!"

Meanwhile, indifferent to the chaos his actions had caused, Kyle casually walked inside the

building.

He paused when, after a while, the twins encountered a few of their friends.

Kyle watched the duo as they tried to send their friends away, insisting they were busy. He

tapped Mason on the shoulder.

"Go with your friends."

The twins could only laugh dryly at his words, while their clueless friends, who were finally leaving after the duo communicated through telepathy that the person with them was dangerous, stopped and looked back at them with worried expressions. They joined their friends, and Kyle simply walked behind them, observing everything they did.

Bia noticed the seriousness in Kyle's gaze and understood that now that he had figured out how to recover his past memories, he was intent on reclaiming all of them.

-"I guess the trip here isn't entirely useless."
