Thump!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azariah's heart pounded fiercely in his chest as the man's words struck deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His breath became ragged, and he glared at the man, whose expression was filled with pity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a deep breath to steady himself, Azariah let out a forced chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The fuck are you rambling about, liar?\" he asked, a smile lingering on his face as he stepped back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Az,\" Oliver tried to intervene, but Azariah quickly pushed him away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you not hear this fucker?!\" Azariah roared, slamming his fist down on the table with such force that it shattered into pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man gulped as Azariah lunged at him, but Oliver barely managed to hold him back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the man was about to respond, a woman passing by on the street stopped, looking at them with concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sam!!\" she yelled, making the man's head snap toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Find a real job! How long are you going to impersonate and fool people?\" she snarled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" Azariah asked, his anger giving way to confusion, finding solace in her words, \"He's a fraud?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, sir,\" the woman replied sweetly, her gaze softening as she took in Azariah's handsome face, a smile forming on her lips. \"He does this to all the tourists—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aye, old hag!\" the man named Sam snapped, abruptly standing up and throwing down his woolen cap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do your fucking job and stop bothering me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up, fraudster!\" the woman shot back, before turning to Azariah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't listen to his nonsense. He scares people with lies and then extorts money by offering fake solutions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We're leaving,\" Azariah muttered, rubbing his temples as he turned to walk away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled out some gold coins, handing them to the woman, who beamed at the unexpected earning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oliver and Chubby followed suit, but as they tried to move, Sam stepped forward, blocking their path, his eyes gleaming with greed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you new here, sire?\" Sam asked, a fake smile plastered on his ordinary face. \"Do you want a guide—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, fine,\" Sam relented, nodding vigorously. \"One gold coin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you sure, Az?\" Oliver whispered, standing beside him. \"He's still a fraud.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One gold doesn't matter,\" Azariah replied, shaking his head. \"I'm more interested in that name,\" he whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This way,\" Sam said, his mood lifting as he led them deeper into the alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pathway, already narrow, became even tighter as they slowly moved out of the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The walls of the alley seemed to close in on them with every step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know we're living in the 3rd Epoch?\" Sam asked, glancing back at the three boys trailing behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We're what now?\" Seth grumbled, barely finding enough space to walk in the cramped alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aye, the 3rd Epoch,\" Sam nodded, his voice pitched high with excitement. \"The Epoch of Dawn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And what about the other two?\" Oliver asked, his curiosity piqued. \"Or did we just skip straight to the 3rd?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The 1st was the Epoch of Gold, and the 2nd, the Epoch of Rebirth,\" Sam explained, deftly jumping over a half-meter boulder blocking their path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Each epoch lasts three thousand years, and the last one ended with the Akasha Holy War.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So what does that have to do with anything?\" Azariah asked, lifting Seth effortlessly and tossing him over the boulder as they continued deeper into the alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The emperor of the Dortona Empire was a devout follower of the three main gods,\" Sam continued, leading them further away from the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He kept the war going, fighting a useless battle because those foolish main gods demanded it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And now you're cursing the gods?\" Seth growled, annoyed by Sam's words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sam smiled as he turned back to face them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can gods prevent evil?\" he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seth replied confidently, \"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then why don't they?\" Sam shot back, his tone sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\".....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sam's smile widened. \"If they're omnipotent, why not just destroy evil?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They can, but they choose not to,\" Oliver commented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then are they really benevolent?\" Sam countered, his voice laced with skepticism. \"When they allow mortals to suffer?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When they're neither omnipotent nor benevolent,\" Sam said, stepping closer and leaning in toward them, his voice dropping to a whisper. \"....Then why call them gods?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sam smiled, observing the thoughtful expressions on their faces as he resumed walking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I understand,\" he continued, \"for us mortals, gods are necessary, even if they do not and cannot truly exist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough of that,\" Azariah snapped, his glare intense. \"We're not here to talk about gods.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right, sire!\" Sam exclaimed, plastering a fake smile across his face. \"You wanted to know about Qais.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azariah nodded slightly. \"Who is he?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know,\" Sam shrugged, causing everyone to halt in their tracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The fuck did you just say?\" Azariah asked, tilting his head in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know much about him,\" Sam replied with a smile. \"Most of the things related to him are gone, forgotten, or buried somewhere.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\".....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azariah's patience wore thin as he stepped closer, his glare sharpening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But there is one famous story about him,\" Sam quickly added. \"Something about his wife.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\".....What is it?\" Azariah asked, forcing himself to calm down as the light at the end of the tunnel grew brighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"During the time of the Akasha Holy War, a man named Qais lived,\" Sam began with a smile. \"Some say he was a noble, others say he was just a commoner.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light at the end of the alley brightened as they emerged, finding themselves along the riverbank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One day, the emperor heard about Qais's wife, whom Qais always boasted about as one of the most beautiful women to ever live,\" Sam continued, leading them toward a broken-down house with nothing but walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The emperor became curious to see her face and used every trick he knew to catch a glimpse of her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They reached the dilapidated house, and Azariah looked around curiously, touching the hard walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At one party, the emperor finally met her, though she wore a veil over her face,\" Sam narrated, stopping before a wall covered with a dusty old sheet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He asked her to remove the veil, and when he saw her face, he was thoroughly disappointed. She wasn't old or ugly, but neither was she the enchantress Qais had claimed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's when the emperor asked why Qais boasted so much about an ordinary woman,\" Sam said, his gaze locking onto Azariah's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And Qais answered, 'Look at her with my eyes, and you will find her the most beautiful.'\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Sam yanked the sheet off the wall, revealing a single portrait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was broken at the edges, and most of the colors had faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the face was still clear—an ordinary face with bright golden hair and eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was nothing remarkable about the portrait; it was simply ordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this the most beautiful thing you were talking about?\" Oliver asked, glancing at Sam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to his surprise, the spot where Sam had been standing was now empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had vanished without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where did he go?\" Seth mumbled, looking around but finding nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Az?\" Oliver called out, touching Azariah's shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azariah had a dazed look on his face, staring blankly at the portrait, a single tear falling down his cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, are you alright?\" Oliver's concern grew as Azariah didn't respond, even when he gently shook him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Azariah fell to his knees, his hands gripping his hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A whisper escaped his lips, \"Lumi... Inna... Where are they?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, what happened!?\" Oliver sat beside him, shaking his body in alarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seth moved closer, his worry evident as he looked at Azariah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Delilah,\" Azariah mumbled softly, his eyes filled with confusion, \"Where is Delilah?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who?\" Oliver asked, frowning in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....Where is she?\" Azariah whispered, grabbing Oliver's collar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"WHERE IS SHE!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1312,"2026-06-05T21:29:08.031Z",1,"novelbin.me","2b4a8de1019cef1d2992fbd31120a02f368f2280fcf722be1b2fd4bbe11696c0","reincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-chapter-153","reincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-chapter-151",556,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-cover.jpg"]
