expression softened into a small, deliberate smile as he gestured for the Night Prince to ease his tense stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was calm, even soothing, as he addressed the man whose fury had shaken the dream dimension just moments ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There is no need for an apology, Night Prince,” Cain began, his tone measured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for the secrecy, it was necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had to convince Lady Azure that I had killed Zafira.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I trust you understand why such a façade was required in order for me to earn the women’s trust and become a better spy for you.” The Night Prince studied Cain in silence, his sharp gaze betraying the calculations swirling within his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath his composed demeanor, he was deeply impressed-and slightly unnerved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was not a fool and understood that the real Cain went through all that trouble for the reward the old Anima would grant him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, none of that really mattered for the Night Prince.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he cared about was the fact that Cain had managed to achieve what seemed impossible: appeasing Lady Azure by “eliminating” Zafira while simultaneously saving her life to fulfill his mission for the Night Prince.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These objectives were inherently contradictory, yet Cain had orchestrated a flawless outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a feat required not only immense intelligence but also a level of cunning and foresight that few could hope to match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Night Prince felt both admiration and caution bloom within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain was an invaluable asset, someone whose loyalty could bolster his faction to new heights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But should that loyalty falter, Cain’s capabilities would make him a dangerous adversary, one he could not let live.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain, of course, was fully aware of these thoughts but was not worried since when the time came, he would be ready to kill the Night Prince.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until then, he would make sure to squeeze as much wealth as he could from the man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not letting himself lose too much in those thoughts, Cain’s eyes sharpened as he spoke again, injecting a note of seriousness into his tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For now, Zafira must remain hidden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If her survival becomes known, it would jeopardize my standing with Lady Azure-and likely lead to…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>complications.” The Night Prince nodded immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do not worry, Brother Laurifer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will ensure Zafira stays hidden until the Gu Contest begins.” His voice carried a note of compromise, though Cain detected a faint undercurrent of irritation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While keeping Zafira hidden would hinder some of the Night Prince’s external maneuvers, he understood the necessity of discretion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve done exceptionally well,” the Night Prince continued, his expression softening into a rare smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not only did you save Zafira, but I’ve also heard about Renan’s condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’s sustained crippling wounds-wounds so severe that she won’t fully recover even by the time the Gu Contest begins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know how you managed it, but I must say, Brother Laurifer, you’re truly a miracle worker.” The Night Prince’s satisfaction was palpable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the deaths of Goldker and Alonz, he barely spared them a thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While they had been powerful, they were ultimately replaceable-a small price to pay for the strategic gains Cain had secured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain remained silent, offering neither confirmation nor denial of the Night Prince’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression was unreadable, and his lack of response only seemed to elevate the Prince’s opinion of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well then, Brother Laurifer,” the Night Prince said, adjusting his posture to one of regal poise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I will take my leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Expect your reward within the next few hours-I assure you, you’ll find it more than satisfactory.” He paused briefly, his aura growing solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I now see that you’re someone I can count on for the most challenging missions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll be in touch soon.” With that, the dream dimension trembled and dissipated, returning Cain’s consciousness to his body within the cultivation abode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain opened his eyes, a broad, satisfied smile spreading across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had succeeded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through careful planning and no small amount of risk, he had fulfilled the demands of both Lady Azure and the Night Prince.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a delicate balancing act, but the results spoke for themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His wits and schemes had passed yet another trial, reinforcing his position in the sect as a force to be reckoned with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a deep breath, Cain calmed his mind and began circulating his energy throughout his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t enter deep cultivation-he wanted to remain fully aware and ready for the arrival of the Night Prince’s promised reward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True to the Night Prince’s word, several packages arrived at Cain’s cultivation abode within hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To any outsider, they appeared to be ordinary deliveries, likely treasures purchased through the sect’s interface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Cain knew better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a casual wave of his hand, the boxes were drawn into the abode, landing neatly before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He extended his Ego Wave, piercing through the containers to examine their contents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he found made his eyes gleam with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside were treasures of dark and wicked origin-items that radiated overwhelming power and carried the distinct aura of sin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Impressive!” Cain muttered, unable to suppress his amazement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The treasures surpassed even his highest expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear the Night Prince was eager to secure Cain’s favor-and perhaps make amends for his earlier outburst.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever the reason, Cain was more than pleased with the outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After ensuring that no one was surveilling him and confirming that he had no unresolved matters, Cain focused his thoughts on the [Samsara Arsenal Module].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, he vanished from his cultivation abode, transported into the module’s Second Layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain materialized in the sky of the Second Layer, the air around him charged with power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he dashed toward the Samsara Sacrificial Ground, his movements swift and purposeful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he stepped into the castle that housed the sacrificial ground, he was greeted by the overwhelming presence of the Samsara Flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its radiance seemed even more intense than before, exuding a purity and majesty that hinted at a closer connection to its source-the mysterious Samsara Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain didn’t falter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He approached the beyond-divine flame with steady resolve; his mind focused entirely on the task ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was ready to offer his first sacrifice!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Redsunworld Check the comments for images 15\u002F31 Chapter: 21 weekly + 5 for super
