He left it there, guarding a certain red marked tree with a simple mail-box installed right next to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He told the Elves to put a letter inside this mailbox to inform him of Lady Farren's return. And just a few seconds ago, his shadow saw an Elf drop a leaf scroll inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, it informed him of the news he'd been waiting for all this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pumped his hands, excitement curling the corner of his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Lady Farren's return didn't just signal a new business venture for the Reborn company, but it was also a nascent step in his mission to find the second Antique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Basteine, the fiery red Draconian Zovirru's butler, the second Mythical Beast bone was owned by quite a peculiar character. To say he was whimsical was putting it mildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Draconian didn't want money, fame, nor power in exchange for this Antique. Many had tried to pry the priceless curio from their hands through many lavish efforts: like gifting him a pile of Sand Dollars, showering him with priceless ornate jewelry and art masterpieces, and many more of the like. Yet, according to the rumors, he denied them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that this mighty Beastfolk was quite the opposite to popular Draconian stereotypes. He didn't want decadent gifts. No, he just wanted to meet with the Elves—plain and simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for some reason, the Elves had been rejecting his attempts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael didn't know why, but he was intending to find out. And with Darkwood and Mithril Artifact Compound Bow as leverage, he had a much higher chance than any to figure out the reason for their cavalier attitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe, he just might be able to fulfill Draconian's wishes and reward him with the Antique itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knows if it was even possible, but a man can dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm… you're not cheating on me, are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Octavia's words immediately brought him out of his reverie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can see that look on your face. It's the same face you made when I offered you a hundred million Sand Dollars for the filters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surely, you aren't postponing my filters so that you can create filters for those other filthy marine mammals.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Octavia's tentacles crossed together with reproach, her skin turning into a jealous green.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately raised his hand to clear his innocence. \"No, no! It has nothing to do with Mermen, I swear!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at him, still trying to decide if he was treacherous or not. He gave her his signature amiable smile. Surely, a knave wouldn't be this charismatic, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately though, it seemed she wasn't as gullible as his mother. She would have immediately forgiven him. But Princess Octavia just glared at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that it came to this, Michael used his secret tactic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"ALL HAIL PRINCESSS OCTAVIA!\" he shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice echoing in the waters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the citizens of the Sunken Ship heard his praiseful words, they immediately echoed his sentiment with a cacophony of cheering, shouting, and tail slapping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Octavia immediately turned towards her citizens, opening her arms and basking in all the glory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only a second later that she broke out of her self-serving stupor, realizing that she had been tricked!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quickly turned back to face Michael, but he was already gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael ascended from the shadows, finding himself in the breezy ambiance of the Elven forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whew… that was close.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Contrary to the all-encompassing dark blue hue of the Mermen lake, the Elven forest was filled with bright greenery, shimmering sunlight, and… the cacophonous sounds of leaves rustling from activity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately sensed multiple living beings in his vicinity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, the gargantuan acacia trees blocked most of the sunlight, leaving large shades in the ground for him to hide on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiding inside an alcove underneath the tree's girthy roots, Michael piloted his invisible Drone to fly towards the sounds of activity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't long before he saw a sparsely grouped Elven guards patrolling the area. Their bows were drawn taut, with an arrow already lodged for an easy shot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They masterfully scurried atop the massive maze of protruding roots from the giant trees and barely eked out a sound. If it wasn't for his incredible senses, he wouldn't have even heard them coming. That's weird. The security wasn't this strict when I last came here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using his 15 Mini Drones, he spread them out in a large diameter and noticed other groups of leaf and vine-armored Elves patrolling the forest with serious looks on their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spurred on by curiosity, he released his stealthy shadow and let his presence be known.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A branch snapped, making the Elves turn towards his location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped forward, making sure to keep his hands free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a brief, tense second, the Elves drew their arrows and pointed at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the next second, an Elf shouted and raised his hand. His eyes shined with recognition. \"Wait! He's a guest of Lady Farren!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, the Elven guards dropped their bows and returned their arrows to their quiver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The male guardian Elf then approached Michael with a courtly bow. \"Our apologies, Sir Keo. We didn't expect to see you here. We had guides waiting for you at the entrance. Were they not there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael scratched his head. \"I guess we must have passed each other.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The male Elf didn't question it any further and gestured to Michael to follow him. \"Let me lead you to our village, lest there be another case of mistaken identity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They walked forwards, with Michael noticing the increasing frequency of Elven guards stationed as they got near the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why all the security?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Elf pursed his lips. \"We've had a bad case of ill-natured vandals lately, desecrating our trees with all sorts of carvings. But worry not, it will not trouble you during your stay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1024,"2026-05-28T18:43:27.190Z","2026-06-01T04:28:40.908Z",1,"novelbin.me","398cdfd4dad76e53fe7bee45f7c86afc9ce890cb8de81b4e49120b68fc68a0a8","reborn-as-the-genius-son-of-the-richest-family-chapter-878","reborn-as-the-genius-son-of-the-richest-family-chapter-876",1164,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-as-the-genius-son-of-the-richest-family-cover.jpg"]
