Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Chapter 144: Road to Success

Almost all of the women who bore Galion's children kept it. They knew the danger of bearing a child with a strong bloodline but what if they succeeded and have a child with great talent?

These women kept it hidden and were married to other men to hide the fact that they were impregnated by a Rank Eybi Elementalist.

Because if any of the three kingdoms learned this, they would certainly find a reason to kill them, or at least, the child inside.

Some fell victims but while some succeeded in hiding their birth only to be disappointed.

A child from another man, how can the father accept this?

Taking all those risks but in the end, the child was not talented, how can the mother accept this?

Even if Galion was a Rank Eybi Elementalist, he had not predicted this far. Almost everyone who had his bloodline has a broken family.

Many died due to numerous causes and only the strong-willed remained.

A generation later, Numui was born. Although the family problem was not that much compared to the last generation, there was still suppression and hardship. They still have to keep low and that made Numui unable to get appraised by others.

If others saw that he had a Fire Element, it will undoubtedly reach the higher-ups and the kings. Them being annihilated was not far-off. 

So he kept low until they have traveled to the Trading-Hills Capital as it was flourishing. They were one of the few people who had successfully entered it and lived there. This was because many people sought evacuation.

An Immoral Family, the Vario Family has appeared and caused havoc at the three kingdoms all at the same time.

But as a result, not being under the three kings directly gave his family relief. They were also cut off from their secret relatives but they worry about it. From then on, opportunities showed up one by one.

Since Numui can't enter the academy due to his Fire Element, he chose to live as a Non-Elementalist and conceal his element. Once he was at the age of nineteen, he became Rank Dih which made it easy to hide his element from Rank Cees.

He doesn't have to worry about Rank Bihs. Even the Guild Master at that time was just Rank Cee.

So he became more confident. As a child who grew up in the capital and desperately survived there, he has more knowledge as a businessman than the others.

And so, he accepted all those risks that may reveal his secrets, creating a business, and kept on going!

Eventually, he was getting richer by the time his parents died. At that time, his competitors were getting scared of his potential and talent.

Through investigation, they found out that he was a Fire Elementalist, an outsider. This gave them a lot of chances to defame him and ostracized him. However, Numui was mentally prepared for this!

Risk equals opportunity. The oppression turned into riches with Numui's business talent. Once he turned Rank Cee, he had lesser oppression then. Not that he could finally rest.

In that process, there's one woman who helped him and didn't care about him being an outsider.

She became a very special woman to Numui, and the two became a couple, making the fourth generation, Kalin Romen!

To their surprise, Kalin was actually born with a Rank Eeh Initial Rank!

They were very happy. Through hardship, they finally had a son. While Numui doesn't know his true origin, or rather, the truth behind his origin, he just knew that his hardship, patience, and perseverance paid off. He couldn't be any happier at that moment.

With no other relatives, the three began to live well off. For Shamira, Kalin was the proof of Numui being an insider. Through marriage, no one could say that he is an outsider.

Therefore, they treasured Kalin more than anything. Although their busy life didn't suddenly end there, they were pretty happy.

They were only disappointed at how Kalin turned out as if he was a cripple, not being able to rank up, but they didn't hate him.

However, while their life goes on, they didn't know that their only son had already met Numui's ancestor when he was just a child.

Galion has the appearance of a random old man in the Trading-Hills Capital. He was stuck at Rank Eybi and was nearing his lifespan after more than a hundred years. He was already middle-aged back when the royal couples were still young. Now, his hair is already white with his face filled with wrinkles.

He didn't expect one of his descendent to become the richest family in the capital far from the three kingdoms.

This was an excellent result! Adding the fortune, Kalin who has great talent was born.

When the two met, Galion used an elesp to pass the information to Kalin. From then on, the child began changing.

He knew the big picture and kept acting in the dark.

Meanwhile, after more than a hundred years, Galion had not been just standing by. Although he was busy fighting for the Crome Family, the Rank Es Elementalists found their queen not long after Galion returned.

Arcansas was in a similar state as Haliviana. But due to the difference in their Element, there was a noticeable change.

However, that does not matter. As the one with experience, Galion was the head of researching their queen's rank up. Finally, he found ways to help the progress and how to deter it. Even to the point of completely destroying it...

Galion still stayed low and gave Kalin different tasks. He even used an elesp to hide Kalin's growth while teaching him from behind the scenes.

That was why Kalin was always going out and around the capital as if he does not have a direction.

Finally, when Kalin was ready, Galion gave him the mission of getting specific essential materials.

It could only be collected from this island, this is because the essential material has something to do with Haliviana's bloodline.

Galion have returned before Kalin was even born, In this period, he learned the truth behind Haliviana's force.

It has something to do with the Queen of Karan, but since a princess was born, she was the one who should be dealt with.
