Chapter 478 - 478: Promotion
Many people at the banquet had already realized the undeniable fact: the rise of the Stokes family had become unstoppable. From being on the brink of being investigated and convicted by the Genosha officials to becoming an untouchable force in Lsengard, the entire shift had happened because of one eighteen year old boy! And that boy's name was Charles.
The president of the Lsengard Alchemist Guild, the president of the Lsengard Forging Masters Guild, and the president of the Beast Master Guild exchanged glances, their faces filled with regret. If only they had stood up when David and Raj came to plead for the Stokes family. They could have not only improved their relationship with the Stokes family but also left a good impression in Charles's eyes. Unfortunately, time could not be reversed, and the more Charles displayed his extraordinary abilities, the more regrettable it became for them. The three of them, along with Lsengard's city lord Matthew, felt the weight of their mistakes.
In the Stokes family villa in Lsengard, it was already past two in the morning, but the Stokes family was still brightly lit. Henry, with a relaxed expression, lay on the sofa, gazing at the bright lights around him. His heart was filled with gratitude toward Charles. He wasn't foolish; he understood the relationship between his daughter Celestine and Charles. After this event, the other forces in Lsengard would undoubtedly learn of the deep connection between the Stokes family and Charles. The eighteen year old Genosha Supervisor, a person who was nearly impossible for ordinary people to even meet, had helped the Stokes family out of a crisis. From now on, anyone who wanted to trouble the Stokes family would have to consider whether they could afford to make an enemy of Charles!
As Henry thought about the Stokes family's future, he couldn't help but smile with contentment.
At that moment, Charles, who had finished washing up, entered the living room, with Celestine following him. Due to the injury on his left arm, Celestine had helped him undress and dress while he was washing up. The atmosphere during this wasn't overly intimate. Celestine had been concerned, her eyes red as she repeatedly apologized, blaming herself for Charles's injury, thinking that it was all because of the Stokes family's troubles.
Charles had reassured her, explaining that this mission had provided him with mystical beast promotion materials, and if it weren't for the Stokes family's situation, he might have wasted much more time
At this point, Celestine's voice became even softer, and she murmured something almost inaudibly.
"Thank you, Charles. Really, thank you."
If it weren't for Charles' excellent hearing, he might not have caught those words.
"No need to thank me. What I said when I was in the shower was all true. If it weren't for this incident, I'd probably have wasted a lot of time looking for promotion materials." Charles' voice was gentle.
Celestine nodded slightly. She shifted her position, still lying on Charles' lap, her gaze hazy as she looked up at him.
"It's getting late. I'll go change into something comfortable, then it'll be time to sleep," Celestine said, slowly sitting up.
"Change? Are you changing into pajamas?" Charles asked, confused.
Celestine smiled faintly without responding, and instead, she walked over to the wardrobe and began carefully picking something out.
"Charles, every girl has that one really sexy outfit they don't wear often. I have one too. This is the first time I'm showing it to someone, so you'd better not say it doesn't look good," Celestine's voice came from inside the wardrobe.
Soon, in the dim light, a particularly seductive figure slowly walked toward him.
She wore thin black stockings paired with lace underwear, and on top, she had a bra that barely covered her chest.
Charles was slightly distracted by the sight.
"What's wrong? Is it not good looking?" Celestine's soft voice appeared.
Charles shook his head and said seriously, "It's beautiful, very beautiful!"
After hearing the affirmative answer, Celestine slowly walked over. In the dim light, some black, curved hair could be vaguely seen.
Charles took a deep breath. His left arm was still injured and hadn't fully healed yet.
It seemed that Celestine could tell what Charles was thinking. She walked over to the bedside, slowly pushed Charles down, supporting herself with one hand on the bed. Her body was positioned above his, and she exhaled softly, saying:
"We're leaving Lsengard tomorrow. Tonight, don't worry, just lie back and relax."
Afterwards, Celestine Slowly lowered,Slowly lowered her head,Parted her soft, pink lips,Stuck out her little tongue,Completely enveloping a huge object already hard as steel.
"Hiss" sounded pleasantly, and soon there began to be low gasps in the room.
...
The next morning, Jace, with two huge dark circles under his eyes, yawned as he appeared in the living room of the villa.
"Morning, Charles. I don't have much to do in Lsengard, so I might as well go back with you today," Jace said to Charles.
Charles glanced at the dark circles on Jace's face and quietly asked, "Didn't sleep well last night?"
Jace gave Charles a somewhat resentful look and said, "Uncle Jiang snored and ground his teeth all night. I didn't get any sleep!"
After a simple breakfast, Charles left the Stokes family house with Jace and headed toward the Lsengard station.
Celestine was going to stay at home for a few more days. The Stokes family had some matters to settle, and she wanted to help her father, Henry.
Charles had no objections. He just wanted to get back to GenoshaCalivia to complete the promotion of the mystical beast.
Time flew by, and by noon, Charles and Jace were already at Cyber Academy.
Without resting, Charles immediately took advantage of the time and headed to the training room at Cyber Academy, summoning Mousie.
"Master, Master, are we preparing for the promotion?" As soon as Mousie appeared, it eagerly jumped onto Charles' shoulder and excitedly asked.
Charles nodded, then took the [Heart of Darkness] out of his [Storage Space].
"First, absorb the [Heart of Darkness] to complete the promotion, and then see if you can absorb the [Dark Altar]," Charles instructed.
He was a bit worried that if Mousie tried to absorb the [Dark Altar] first, it might interfere with its promotion, which would be undesirable.
Mousie nodded, then jumped off Charles' shoulder directly onto the [Heart of Darkness].
Instantly, a dense dark energy filled the room, and a black light engulfed the entire training room.
After a few breaths, the [Heart of Darkness] turned into a pool of black liquid. The liquid was eerie, and as it rolled, tiny figures resembling children could be seen within it.
Once the black liquid settled, it slowly began to surround Mousie. The liquid then solidified, and a large, round black ball appeared in front of Charles.
Charles looked at the black sphere in front of him, thinking that the promotion process probably wouldn't be quick. He might have to wait a bit. But to his surprise, just a few minutes later, a message prompt appeared in front of him.
