âYoung Master let me introduce you. This man is the son of Duke Elliott Campbell. His name is Lucian Campbell.â Instead of replying Watson instead introduced Aditya to the son of Duke Elliott Campbell.
âI thought you would never show you and hide in that little cave of yours.â Aditya stopped 5 meters away from the man named Lucian. He carefully observed Lucianâs appearance for a minute.
Lucian looked like he was about 25 years old even though he was more than [50+] years old. Lucian had light blue hair and beautiful blue eyes that can make any female captivated. He had a gentle appearance. His blue messy hair was covering his forehead and gave him a unique handsome charm.
He was about 1.9 meters, around the same height as Aditya. His body was neither too muscular nor too slim. He had fair skin. He was wearing a White shirt and black pants which was very different from what the nobles normally wore.
His charming face was enough to capture the hearts of millions. Even though his age was over [50+] no one would think that he is 50.
âWhat does the young master of Campbell house wants?â Since this man showed Aditya no respect, why the hell he would show him any respect? He was not a bootlicker. He did not care if this man was the son of a duke. Even if the prince, the son of the King himself had done this kind of act, Aditya wouldnât have given any respect to the price either. Aditya was also pissed that Lucian had come to see him at 5 in the morning.
Just like Aditya, Lucian also checked on Adityaâs appearance for a few seconds before replying. âAre you engaged to Lady Julia?â
âIf you donât believe in me, then you can just wait till Juliaâs birthday. Any other questions.â Aditya looked really impatient.
âAditya, I challenge you to a fight. Do you dare to accept?â
âNow thatâs interesting.â Adityaâs lips curled up hearing the words of Lucian. The son of Duke Campbell also had a crush on Julia. Now after hearing the rumors of Julia being married, he simply couldnât wait and ended up coming here to meet Aditya at 5 in the morning.
Aditya found that Lucianâs cultivation was at least 4th-order or maybe even above. âThe Aura around him is strong as Eddie. Maybe even stronger than Eddie.â Aditya guess Lucianâs cultivation was at least mid-4th order.
âNow thatâs interesting, a mid-4th-order challenging a Mid-2nd-order!â
âAre you afraid?â Aditya instantly saw through his attempt to provoke him and then make him accept his challenge.
âItâs not about if I am afraid or not. Itâs about if I can seriously stand against a mid-4th-order.â Though he had managed to defeat a beginner 4th-order, Aditya had not confident about beating a mid-4th-order. Aditya had an advantage with his Crimson Flame. When he fought with Eddie, his Crimson Flameâs high temperature helped him by dealing with general Eddieâs water attacks.
Aditya is not sure if he can achieve the same result if he fought against an earth user or maybe a lightning user.
âI know you defeated general Eddie who is beginner 4th-order a few days ago.â Lucian pointed at the large destroyed part of the castle.
âWhy do you even want to fight me so much?â Aditya understood that by defeating him, the son of the duke wanted to prove that he was more worthy of Julia and all that nonsense. But Adam, Sophie, and Julia clearly werenât the type of people who would care about worthiness. Aditya knew that after spending time with them.
âIf I win, I want something from you. If you win, you can ask for anything.â Aditya narrowed his eyes as his eyes flashed with killing intent. He can clearly see what Lucian was trying to do here.
âCan I know what thing you want from me?â Lucian failed to notice the killing intent in Adityaâs eyes.
He proudly raised his chest and looked at his Crimson eyes. âIf I win, you will hand over Julia to me. You will immediately break off the engagement and leave the house of Onard.â Hearing those words, Adityaâs heart was like a volcano that was about to erupt. Without even realizing it, his body temperature started rising rapidly. His Crimson eyes started glowing even in red light.
Walter who was standing beside Lucian saw the changes in Aditya. Even from the 5 meters distance, he could feel the temperature around Aditya rising. Before Aditya could release his killing intent, Walter appeared behind Aditya and put his right hand on his shoulder.
âYoung Master, this is not the place to get angry.â Walter whispered in his ear. If Lucian wasnât the son of Duke, then Walter personally would be butchered him. Even he was angry with Luciansâ words.
Aditya got some control over his emotions thanks to Walterâs words. After taking a deep breath, he coldly stared at Lucian and said in a deep tone. âListen to me you piece of shit, first of all, Julia is not an object that I will hand over to anyone. If you want a fight, I will fight you. Donât think that you can use this fight to make me break this engagement.â
Lucianâs face changed when he was called a piece of shit. He someone held his anger as he knew getting angry here would only create unnecessary trouble. He also realized that he had hit Adityaâs sensitive nerve. âAlright, letâs change the price. You put 10 million royal gold coins. I put in 10 million royal gold coins. The winner of this fight gets to take it all.â
âAlright, I accept your challenge.â
âThe fight will take place on Lady Juliaâs birthday.â Saying that Lucian stepped into the royal carriage and left.
After Lucian left, Aditya finally calmed down.
Walter couldnât help but ask. âYoung Master, why did you accept the fight? Lucian is even stronger than general Eddie.â
âWhy should I refuse free 10 million royal gold coins?â Aditya smiled as asked back. he still had 12 days left. And 12 days would give him more than enough time to prepare for this fight.
Hearing Adityaâs answer Walter was stunned. He was going to face a mid-4th-order, yet this man was so calm and spoke like he already had won the fight. Walter couldnât understand from where this confidence came from.
âUnless young Master is planning on using his dragon transformation.â Thinking about Aditya transforming into a dragon made the old butler Walter very excited. He was curious and also excited to see Aditya in his dragon form.
âLetâs go backâ While walking inside he looked at the sky. There were dark clouds hovering around in the sky. It looked like it was going to rain soon.
Meanwhile, a large amount of mana was gathering 20 km away from Apogale city. The mana in the atmosphere was being sucked toward the outside of Apogale city. No one had any idea what was going to happen.

At the dining table
âWhy did you agree to fight Lucian?â Julia angrily asked.
âWell, I couldnât say no to free 10 million royal gold coins.â Aditya simply smiled and continued eating without being bothered.
âMomâŠ..?â Julia looked at her mother for some help. Even though she might act like she does not care about Aditya, deep down she was really worried about him.
âJulia calm down. I think Aditya did the right thing.â Julia looked at her father.
Adam also looked very calm. Seeing how strong Aditya was, he did not see a reason to be worried. âAll the nobles in the kingdom will attend Juliaâs upcoming birthday. Many are dissatisfied with Aditya. Even though no one would dare to say it in front of me. I think this fight would allow Aditya to display his powers in front of the nobles.â
âBig brother will definitely win.â Aditya smiled while patting Juliaâs little brotherâs head.
âSee even Zak believes that I will win.â Julia rolled her eyes. Fighting a beginner 4th order and fighting a mid-4th-order are completely different.
âYou worry too much. Even if I lose, I wonât go down without seriously injuring him.â
âHmph! Who said I was worried about you?â Julia snorted and pretended to not be worried.
âHehe! Big sister is being a tsundere again.â Julia glared at Zak and then continued eating. Meanwhile, Aditya and Zak looked at each other and smiled.
After eating breakfast,
âBoy wait a minute.â Under everyoneâs confused gaze, Adam took out a black sword from his storage ring.
âHere take this.â Aditya took the black sword from Adam. When he took the sword in his right hand, he instantly felt like he was being forced to carry an entire mountain in his right hand. The black sword fell to the ground as Aditya couldnât keep holding this sword.
âThis is a Mid-5-star black sword. I was planning on giving you this sword on Juliaâs birthday as an engagement gift. This black sword weighs almost 3 tons. The sword was forged for me but I choose a greatsword as my main weapon so the sword was left unused. From now on, this sword is yours.â After saying those words Adam left. Meanwhile, Aditya was still shocked. To think Adam would gift him a mid 5th-order black sword.
