Sovereign of the Firmaments

"Th..this is…"

Once again, Porter was overwhelmed with Lucas' generosity when he saw the crystal in his hand.

Unlike the 'Extricate stone', Porter knew about the crystal in his hands and it was none other than the Talent crystal. Moreover, from its colour, it was easy to guess that the talent crystal gives an earl grade after its usage.

So, Porter didn't what else he can say to Lucas for such valuable gifts.

"It is a Knight talent crystal. Since you are stuck at tier 3 lesser knight because of your Baron grade talent. So, use it as the Hellmore family needs powerful guardians to protect it."

Lucas revealed a slight smile on his face as he explained the reason why he was giving the talent crystal to Porter.

"But..family head, these young ones…."

"Just use that crystal for yourself. As for the young ones, they will earn the rewards for themselves, don't you?"

The young slaves still have a lot of time and their chances of upgrading their talent on their own were quite high compared to Porter who had lost his prime age. So, Lucas asked the young ones while looking at Porter.

"Yes, instructor. You don't have to think about us."

"Yes, we need you to increase your strength to continue guiding us."

"Please don't think too much, instructor."

The young slaves tried their best to persuade their instructor, who finally nodded his head.

"Thank you, family head. I will upgrade my talent now."

As soon as he said that, Porter crushed the crystal in his hands and the mysterious energy from the crystal entered into his body and upgraded his talent from Baron grade to Earl grade within no time.

'I hope I get another Knight talent crystal soon.'

Looking at Porter, Lucas muttered to himself because he had yet to upgrade his own Knight talent; however, he felt giving the talent crystal to Porter was the right choice.

Because he had multiple professions to focus on, he could keep the Knight profession on hold for a while; however, that was not the case for Porter, who only had a talent in a single profession and it would be just a waste of time for Porter to wait.

Nevertheless, he hoped to get another talent crystal soon.

'Huh? A breakthrough?'

After Porter's talent upgraded to Earl grade, his strength had jumped from tier 3 to tier 4 Lesser knight.

"Family head, with the increment in my talent, my strength has also increased and I feel it will only increase as long as I work a little harder."

At the same time, Porter informed Lucas about the increase in his strength.

"Congrats."

Lucas nodded his head as he could already see it through the system.

"So, do you want to become free from the slave seal just like Porter?"

Soon, Lucas looked at Arthur and others before asking them.

"Yes, family head."

The 10 young men were of course excited as they hurriedly nodded their heads.

"Good."

Lucas revealed a slight smile on his face as he continued, "Currently I don't have the stones to break your slave seals; however, in the future, when I get my hands on more of these stones, I will help truly make you free from the Slave seal. So, until then, you know what to do, right?"

"Yes, family head."

"We will train hard and contribute to the development of our Hellmore family."

Those 10 young men were quite serious as they nodded their heads and deep down they were excited about their future.

"Good. Next, Reece and Harper."

Once he motivate the Surge squad, Lucas looked at his 'Henchmen' and said, "I don't have anything good to give you for now."

"Master, you have already given a huge reward to us. There is no need for you to give us anything more."

Both Reece and Harper shook their heads as Harper continued, "We never thought we could awaken a Duke grade talent; however, you made it possible for us. We can't take more items from you without contributing to the family."

"I am looking forward to it."

Lucas was satisfied with his followers' attitude and he was looking forward to how much they would grow in the future.

"There will be no hunting for today and tomorrow as we have a lot of things to do. For now, make the preparations for the evening meeting with the surviving families. Go now."

Lucas gave the orders to everyone and looking at Beck, he said, "Beck, follow me to my room."

As soon as he finished his words, Lucas returned to his room and behind him, Beck silently followed him.

"Young master, I am here."

For some reason, Beck felt her heart start beating rapidly as she slowly said to Lucas.

"Good. Close the door and come here."

Lucas was sitting on his bed as he asked Beck to close the door, which made Beck's heartbeat reach another level.

'Keep calm…the young master must have something important to talk about. Stop thinking otherwise.'

Beck tried her best to calm herself before following Lucas' orders and stood in front of Lucas.

"Now, are you hiding something from me?"

Lucas stood up all of a sudden and looked into Beck's eyes before asking a question.

'Huh?'

Seeing Lucas so close, Beck's mind was stunned for a second; however, when she heard Lucas' question, she stared at Lucas with a confused look on her face.

"Beck, I know you host a system named 'Beast tamer system'."

Lucas shook his head and directly came to the main business.

"What? How did you know, young master?"

Beck was shocked for a moment as hurriedly asked Lucas; however, before Lucas could say anything, Beck replied, "Don't tell me you also host a system."

How could Beck not come to that conclusion after seeing Lucas' sudden growth and various rare items that were even hard to find in the Barren firmament?

"That's correct."

Lucas nodded his head as he didn't have any intention to hide about it before asking, "So, what will you do? Are you going to kill me to get my system?"
