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 searching for promotion materials.
After hearing his explanation, Celestine felt a little better, though she was still deeply worried for Charles.
“Uncle Henry, I’ll have to trouble you again tonight. I’ll stay for just one night, and tomorrow I’ll leave Lsengard,” Charles said to Henry.
Upon hearing this, Henry immediately stood up from the sofa and hurriedly asked, “Leaving tomorrow? In such a hurry? Why not stay a few more nights, rest well, and then head back?”
Charles shook his head. He still had to return to complete mousie’s promotion.
“Well, alright. We do have guest rooms, though they haven’t been cleaned yet. How about you stay with Winter instead?” Henry suggested.
Upon hearing this, Celestine quietly glanced at Charles but said nothing.
“Charles can stay with me…” Jace, who had been ignored, suddenly spoke up, but before he could finish, Henry shot him a glare.
“I’ll sleep with you. My room’s newly renovated, so it’s not suitable for guests!” Henry quickly made up an excuse. He couldn’t let Jace interfere with the opportunity for Charles and Celestine to spend time together.
“Huh? I…?” Jace didn’t even get a chance to refuse before Henry grabbed him by the shoulder and led him upstairs.
That left Charles and Celestine looking at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little more intimate.
“Come on, what are you waiting for?” Celestine took a deep breath and directly pulled on Charles’s sleeve, leading him toward her room.
This was her home, and it was the first time she had ever brought someone to stay overnight in her room.
Celestine’s room wasn’t particularly large. Among all the rooms in the villa, it could be considered one of the smaller ones. There weren’t too many pieces of furniture, but there were many various sized stuffed animals, neatly arranged, giving the room a warm, cozy vibe.
“Do you really like stuffed animals?” Charles asked.
Celestine sat down on the edge of the bed first, casually picking up one of the stuffed animals. A little nervously, she started fiddling with it as she answered, “I used to like them a lot. They made me feel like I wasn’t so lonely.”
Lonely?
Charles remembered that Celestine also had a younger sister, Aurora, who had been missing since they returned. He hadn’t seen her at all and didn’t know where she had gone.
“With your sister around, how could you possibly be lonely?” Charles asked, slightly puzzled.
Celestine lowered her head a little, her voice becoming softer as she continued, “When we were younger, our parents preferred my sister a bit more.”
Upon hearing this, Charles slowly walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed. He reached out and gently patted Celestine’s head, not saying anything.
Celestine immediately leaned against Charles, lying sideways with her head resting on his lap.
“Charles, I’m not lonely at all now because you’re here with me.”
“Maybe it’s because I’m the older sister. The family feels more at ease with me, so they didn’t pay as much attention to me since I was older and didn’t need as much care.”
“I actually needed it. I love my sister and don’t want to compete with her for anything.”
At this point, Celestine’s voice became even softer, and she murmured something almost inaudibly.
“Thank you, Charles. Really, thank you.”

“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.
