Rhys was covering the wound on his eye and turned around to look at his father .
Thomas had a disappointed expression on his face as he looked at his son .
"Not only you disobeyed me, you even let a common woman hurt you . As a cultivator, you really are a failure . "
Rhys began to complain .
"But Father, that whore attacked me f-"
He could not continue to speak as more pressure was applied by Thomas .
If he didn't want his son to speak, then Rhys could not speak .
"Tell me, what makes a family a noble one?"
Rhys had been educated for years so he knew what his father wanted to say .
He lowered his head and answered with a soft voice .
"Strength . "
Thomas nodded .
"Correct . Your brothers understood that and worked hard to become strong . They even forced their children to train in order to maintain the power of the family . You instead . . . "
He shook his head and continued .
"You spoiled your descendants too much but that was fine, you weren't actually hurting the family . Now, however, you made us lose the only tie we had with a promising cultivator . "
At his words, Rhys became angry again, he really could not bear seeing his bastard son being praised .
He had to hold his feelings back though, and he bowed slightly while asking a question .
"What do you want me to do?"
Thomas massaged his temples and sighed .
"I might be able to heal your eye, but I won't . The kid needs a proof that you were punished . As for the other arrangements, I will take care of them myself . Furthermore, no one is allowed to touch anything on this floor, let my nephew decide how to interpret the situation . "

Noah didn't know anything about what happened in the mansion and continued to train and fight .
A week had passed since he went out and he finally felt accustomed to his new strength .
His dantian had enlarged a little but he felt that it was too soon for it to show its power .
There was one thing that bothered him though .
'I want to change my blood companion already!'
Now his body was on the same level as Assea, but that wasn't the limit of the technique .
If he could find a peak rank 3 magical beast of the darkness element, his battle capability will rise by a lot .
'Sadly I don't really know where to find one . It's not like rank 3 magical beasts are easy to find . '
He hid the space-ring in his clothes, he would always wear it whenever he went outside after the events in the valley .
'Time to go back . '
As he neared the mansion, he saw that the patrolling guards were avoiding his gaze .
An ominous feeling began to form inside Noah that reached its peak when he saw William waiting for him at the main gate .
Noah hurriedly went toward him and asked:
"What happened?" Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting .
William shook his head and answered .
"You can judge it by yourself . The Patriarch didn't allow anyone to modify the scene . "
There were guards in red armor in front of the guests' building and they opened a way for Noah and his Master .
Noah sped up and reached the first floor in an instant .
When he saw the scene that was displayed, he felt completely void of any strength .
His mother's corpse was on the ground, her throat was sliced and a mirror-shard was in it .
He was about to rage and ask something when he saw the smile on her face .
He neared the corpse uncaring of the awful smell that it was exuding due to its decomposition and kneeled in front of it .
William began to talk at that moment .
"She met with your father one week ago . According to the report, she stabbed his eye and then sliced her throat . To show his condolences, the Patriarch had forbidden Lord Rhys from healing the wound that she caused . "
Noah didn't pay much attention to his words and gently caressed his mother's face .
'You did it for me, didn't you?'
Noah wasn't a common thirteen years old kid .
After he saw her smile he immediately understood his mother's intentions .
'Why? You just had to wait a bit more and then I would have taken you out of this place . I was so close too . '
He placed his front on hers and closed his eyes to memorize every detail of her face with his mental energy .
'I understand, I will not do anything reckless for now . '
Noah stood up, his heart grew cold, his mind released a bit of pressure as he vowed to himself:
'Yet one day, I'll definitely kill my father . '
The more he stared at his mother's corpse the more his mind became sharp .
Some cracking sound came from the furniture around him as he was losing control of his state of mind .
William noted this and placed a hand on his shoulder .
Then he neared his mouth to his disciple's ear and whispered softly .
"You will have to control yourself from now on, remember to never fall for any provocation . They will suppress you but secretly you will always be ahead of them . Endure it, your time will definitely come . "
He slipped a piece of paper in his clothes .
When Noah turned to look at his Master with a confused expression a guard in red armor arrived at their position .
William bowed lightly at his sight and gestured for Noah to do the same .
Noah was still confused but trusted his Master so he followed his example .
The guard nodded and put a stern expression before he spoke .
"Per order of the Patriarch of the Balvan family, Noah Balvan has to be immediately transferred to the inner circle to join the personal guards of the family . Please follow me to your new lodging . "
William looked at Noah and smiled slightly .
He ruffled his hair a bit and spoke in a warm tone .
