"This entire estate belongs to me. Isn't that right?" The person comfortably responded, not even trying to hide his identity. He was the family head of the Drike Family, also one of the Overlords in the universe. Although he couldn't be considered the strongest, he was at least on the same footing as the Angel Lord. "I was just surprised to see such a prestigious person here, especially since you weren't at the banquet." Karyk quickly regained his composure. He had already seen the Time Lord. It wasn't his first time being in the presence of a person who was this strong. "May I ask what brought you here?" he further asked, keeping a safe distance from the Drike Family Lord. With people who possessed such an absurd amount of strength, no distance was enough to maintain safety. Still, it was better to be farther than being right next to him. "You don't appear scared." The Drike Family Lord smiled. "Is it because you trust us? Or is it because you trust yourself? Or is it both?"
"As a prestigious family, the Drike Family will not hurt a guest. Isn't that correct? Why would I need to be scared? I haven't done anything wrong to the family," Karyk answered. The Family Lord nodded with Karyk's statement. It was true that he hadn't harmed the Drike Family's interest yet. At the same time, he didn't ignore the hidden implication behind those words. He hadn't done anything wrong to their family. What about the other families? "I heard some really interesting news recently. Apparently quite a few families have been searching for a very interesting person, who seems to have come from a lower world. Do you know anything about it?"
Seeing Karyk's reaction, the family head truly started doubting his assumption. Was Karyk really not that person? Either that was the case, or he was good at putting on an act. In any case, there was only one way to find the truth. "Forget about it. There is something else I had to talk with you about." The Family Head revealed a badge in his hand which he tossed towards Karyk. Karyk caught the badge, feeling a strangely familiar energy within. It was the trace of the abyssal energy. "There is a place called the battlefield. It is opening in three days. If you accept my offer, I will allow you to enter the battlefield from our quota. That place can help you get stronger, but it's even more likely for you to not return alive."
"That place is controlled by the Angels. If you want to have revenge on them, you can go there. But if you care more about your life, you can toss that token back. I will arrange something more comfortable for you, since you are the savior of my son."
Karyk looked at the badge, which was clearly related to the battlefield. Back on the battlefield, he had also heard about the flashpoint between the Angels and the Drike Family. It was also because of a place called the battlefield. The battlefield was a special place that could be used by any family, with the priority being given to the main families. For a long time, it had been controlled by the Drike Family, until it was snatched away by the Angels. He had even heard rumors that the Drike Family might attack the Angels to take control of the battlefield back. He didn't expect that instead of waging war, the Drike family was going to send him there through official means. It was no different than the Drike Family accepting the control of the Angels over the battlefield. Karyk wasn't sure what the Drike Family Leader was planning. Being sent to the battlefield so suddenly was a truly strange development. He was planning to ask the Drike Family for access to the battlefield if they managed to recover control over it. He didn't expect them to grant him access on their own. "I will take the offer. If I can screw the angels, I am willing to enter." He didn't give up on the act and accepted the invitation. The Family Head nodded in silence before leaving the room, slightly surprised that the person was accepting it. Did he really not know what kind of place that was? "Now that you have accepted it, you can't reject it later. I will see you in three days." He waved his hand, disappearing from Karyk's sight.
