My Descendants Are My Power

"You..." Miles instantly bristled with anger.

In all his years as an official, this was the first time anyone had dared to compare him to a dog.

However, seeing Amelia's apparent lack of social graces and needing her help, he decided not to make a fuss about it.

Yet, Amelia's next words left him utterly embarrassed.

"When Blackwood defied the Celestial Emperor's decree and went to war with the Druids all those years ago, I'm afraid they also offended you, Lord Miles.

The Celestial Emperor didn't trouble Blackwood, which means he must have held you accountable.

We investigated you. You only pledge allegiance to the Celestial Emperor.

The Imperial Advisor is not on your side. He once pointed his finger at you in the Grand Hall and berated you for your incompetence in controlling your subordinates."

After centuries of refining elixirs and pills, Amelia had truly forgotten how to interact with people.

She was now a straightforward person, but that didn't mean she was foolish.

Her voice carried a hint of coldness. "Pressure from above is always passed down.

If I were you and had been scolded by my superiors, I would definitely take it out on those below me.

That's what Blackwood would do. But Lord Miles, you didn't. I don't believe you are truly kind-hearted."

"..." Miles's face turned grim.

It was exactly as she said!

Amelia continued, "Because Lord Miles, like me, doesn't like to talk to dead people.

You've long..."

"Say no more!" Miles waved his hand dejectedly, unable to meet Amelia's gaze.

Amelia had hit the nail on the head!

He was the Lord of the Radiant Residence.

His lifelong mission was to serve the Celestial Emperor and to be loyal to him.

He should not have any personal desires.

But everyone had their own selfish motives, such as admiration, anger, and pity.

He had known for a long time that the Imperial Advisor wanted to test Blackwood, that the Celestial Path wanted to make a move against Blackwood.

But he didn't stop it, nor did he warn them.

Amelia didn't say much else.

She was angry, but she had no reason to harbor murderous intent.

Because Miles had no obligation to tell Blackwood that disaster was about to strike.

People couldn't blame their tragedies on the indifference of others, otherwise, how many enemies would there be in this world?

She was here to threaten Miles.

Her voice turned deep and serious. "But this time, Lord Miles, your indifference has caught up with you.

We have already made contact with Prince Jace.

He has abandoned the Celestial Path.

I believe Lord Miles can also see that the existence of the Celestial Path has become a potential threat to the empire.

It has reached the point where it must be eliminated.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

And my Blackwood is willing to become a blade for the empire."

"Lord Miles, you should also become a blade for the empire."

Miles furrowed his brow. "You have the support of Prince Jace?"

Amelia simply nodded slightly.

Miles, however, believed her without a doubt.

The Blackwood people wouldn't try to deceive him with something so easily verifiable.

He frowned and said, "Since you want to kill the Celestial Path, how much do you know about him?

Two thousand years, I have been an official here for two thousand years.

I don't have a deep hatred for the Celestial Path like you and Blackwood, but I know no less about him than you do.

And there hasn't been a single day that I haven't wanted to kill him."

Amelia raised her eyebrows slightly.

Miles continued, "It was only a thousand years ago that I discovered his existence.

At that time, I always felt that there was a strange aura permeating the Radiant Residence.

The Radiant Residence was terrifyingly peaceful.

Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness had made this place the most civilized land.

But when I was an official in other places, I knew that Psychics needed to fight, that no matter how hard I tried to manage them, I couldn't control them.

Yet, here, I didn't need to."

"Especially the Rising Stars here, I've met every single one of them, but I feel like I know them all so well."

"Later, I found out that they were all the same person, the Celestial Path!"

Seeing the disbelief in Miles's expression, Amelia wasn't surprised in the slightest.

It was only natural that anyone who witnessed the Celestial Path's abilities would be shocked for a long time.

Miles's tone turned grave. "I went to the Emperor.

The Emperor knew about him too, but he turned a blind eye.

I'm not afraid to tell you this as a joke, but I fought him."

"You fought him?" This time, Amelia was truly surprised.

Miles let out a bitter smile. "Yes, I fought him for less than a year."

"..."

Ignoring Amelia's speechlessness, Miles seemed to have recalled something terrifying.

His voice trembled, unsure whether it was from fear or anger.

"That day, outside my residence in Ralph, there were countless projections of the Celestial Path, a whole day's worth of people.

They just stood there, staring at my residence, not saying a word.

But I could feel it, they were mocking me.

As long as they wanted to, they could mobilize the entire Radiant Residence to tear me to pieces!"

The more he spoke...

The more agitated Miles became.

His eyes were bloodshot. "That day, I knew that the Celestial Path was no good.

The Emperor wouldn't kill him, the Imperial Advisor let him be.

One day, they would suffer the consequences!

He wouldn't obey orders.

He was alone and had no attachments.

All he needed was an opportunity."

"You Blackwood people are different.

At least you are loyal to your homeland, willing to fight the Druids for your home!"

"I will help you Blackwood, just like I helped you before."

"I've been waiting for this day, waiting for a long time!"

He seemed to have gone mad!

At this moment, seeing Miles acting so strangely, Amelia was taken aback.

For some reason, as she listened to his every word, she felt a chill run down her spine!

But before she could ask any further questions...

Footsteps came from outside the official residence.

It was a Psychic from the government.

The man was so panicked that he was incoherent. "L-Lord Miles... outside... outside there are so many Masked Men..."

At the same time, powerful auras emanated from beyond the official residence.

"Alchemist! It's Basic Mastery, the aura of Basic Mastery!" Isaac's eyes widened as he alerted Amelia.

Sensing the murderous aura coming from outside, he too was filled with killing intent, glaring at Miles!

But Miles didn't seem surprised at all.

He silently looked at the wary Amelia, his madness transforming into a fanatical grin!

"I've spent a thousand years exploring, searching for a way to kill the Celestial Path.

The Imperial Advisor and the Emperor both think he's a pawn in their hands.

Only I know that a man like him has already figured out a way to survive."

"I knew that as long as you Blackwood people weren't stupid, you would come to me sooner or later!"

"How can we truly kill him?

I'll only demonstrate it once!"

"Now..." Miles chuckled coldly as he walked towards the outside of the official residence.

"Run, Amelia. Deliver the news of his death to my grave, or come find me in the underworld."

"Madman!" Amelia's expression changed drastically.

She took a deep look at Miles as he walked out of the official residence and quickly fled with the bewildered Isaac.

Isaac scratched his head, feeling the terrifying aura behind him, and asked Amelia in confusion, "Alchemist, what's going on?

How... how did he bring the Celestial Path here himself?"

"Because he's a madman." Amelia's face was grim.

"The Celestial Emperor has truly raised a good dog."
