Chapter 248
A rumor began to spread in the nation .
Vance, the strongest student of the academy of his generation, was secretively a cultivator of the darkness element .
Also, he had kept his aptitude a secret thanks to the help of the Royal family with whom he worked to obtain resources and techniques .
The rumor spread in every direction, surprising everyone that had met him and the Udye family even provided a drawing of his facial features, they were basically aiming to destroy his anonymity .
As for why they did such a thing, there were many reasons .
The first one was to uncover his actual identity, the Utra nation was built using the noble families as its foundation, it was almost impossible to become a cultivator without the approval of a noble family .
That meant that there had to be some records about the birth of a cultivator of the darkness element somewhere, he couldn't have just appeared out of anywhere and have the strength to pass the entrance test of the academy .
Another reason was to uncover some of his businesses with the Royals, if they kept his aptitude as a secret, it meant that the missions in which he was involved had to be socially unacceptable .
The last one was to remove that pawn from the clutches of the Royals, a simple rumor could hinder the plans that they had for such a cultivator .
It didn't take much for this rumor to reach the ears of Evan Balvan, the second son of the patriarch of the Balvan family .
He was in charge of the economic aspect of the family, it was in his duties to be informed of the changes inside the nation that could affect his investments so he was the first to obtain that information .
Of course, he immediately suspected something and activated his network to gather more information .
The rumors piled up, as more people spoke about Noah, his stories would be distorted and modified, making him appear like an unfathomable character .
However, Evan couldn't care less about the rumors, his attention was completely focused on a large sheet with a male face drawn on it .
This man was young, he had long black hair and icy-blue eyes .
His facial features were delicate but they didn't exude any warmth, there was only coldness radiated from his expression .
'It's him!'
Evan was surprised beyond reason .
The investigation in the Shosti's inheritance ground had brought no results for almost five years, he was beginning to lose any hope in finding his daughter and son .
'Noah Balvan is alive! He must know what has happened there!'
Those were his first thoughts as he hurriedly stood up from his desk and ran toward the lodgings of his big brother .
"Adrian! Big brother! Look at this!"
Evan was quite fat but he ran faster than he had ever done in his life at that moment .
A door opened, revealing a burly cultivator with black hair and a stern expression .
"What is it?"
That man was Adrian Balvan, Thomas' firstborn, he was in charge of the personal army of the Balvan family and handled all the missions outside the mansion .
"Look at this!"
Evan couldn't mask his excitement as he handed Noah's picture to him .
"Who is this? A cultivator of the darkness element? Wait, do you think that the bastard survived the events in the separate dimension?"
Adrian had never seen Noah's face so he could only make that connection due to his element .
