Chapter 598: Talent from Below The Veil
While everyone looked at him wondering who he was, Nora instantly recognized him. After all, he too was from Below the Veil. In fact, he had been a member of the sword clans. This was Rattler of the rapier Clan, son of now late Chief Killian, who had died at Chiron’s hands when he brought the end to the sword clans.

Back then, after he had narrowly escaped the slaughter that had reached his doorstep that night, his father had him flee as fast as he could, using a clan technique to ensure that he left to safety.

He was the Genius Strategist of the Sword clan’s young generation. Chiron had killed all of the sword clans geniuses back then, because he knew that each one of them had a great destiny, an influence of such in the future, and could supply him valuable Fate points.

However, this one had managed to escape.

the Moment Rattler saw Nora, he too was surprised, and then his surprised morphed into a bitter frown, but he immediately, swallowed back the rising anger.

And then his face eased up with a smile, “Lady Iris, its… time we send over the gifts we brought.”

Iris looked over to him. Rattler had lower cultivation. In fact, his kind whether in status of power should not even approach such a gathering or have any influence in it whatsoever.

But on seeing him, Iris immediately eased up, and everyone had seen it clearly. In her eyes, this proud wild cat had shown respect.

She nodded at him, and then she gave one more disgusting look at Nora before she turned and made her exit.

On the other hand, Eunid had noticed what had happened, and his eyes could not help but take note of Rattler.

“Who is that?” he asked subconsciously. This was an important question, as any body that could take a genius from a gathering of geniuses was not an ordinary person.

The most impressive part of it all was young like them. To add to that, he was not strong. In fact, with the huge difference in they power levels, he might as well have been a normal person in the midst of cultivators.

“Hmmm! so that’s him.” Asura suddenly spoke up. She had a finger on her well lipsticked lips, as if in contemplation to understand Rattler or unravel him.

“You know him, Lady Asura?” Ramon asked, as he too had become interested in the fellow.

“Know him is a strech but i have received word of him.”

Instantly, everyone’s attention was pulled to Asura. She came from the Patience family. This family were so good at the Temperament of their god that it made them have such endurance for listening that rumors had it that the strongest of their families could even hear the heart of the earth beat.

As such, they had eyes and ears in all places and at all levels. In fact, even amongst some of the other Virtue families, they had to be periodic CLEANSING of staffs just to be sure that no one worked for the Patience family in secret.

There was no juicy news under the sun that they knew not about.

Once upon a time, an old matriarch of there’s had once said that if even a fly were to develop a new wing, the first person that would know was a toddler within the patience family, even before the fly in question.

For this reason, they all believed that she already had information on him, and so they listened attentively.

“I heard that he is from the Below the Veil, from a destroyed clan. The same ones that were ravaged by the demons. Initially, he had been a slave, but they say the qualities he possess are so exemplary that they had to revoke his status as a Servant and indoctrinate him into the family as soon as possible.”

Asura’s words made all of them surprised, and they could not help but look once more at the back profile of Rattler as he walked away.

It was a good point to note that just because one lived in the territory of a family did not make them a part of that family. Also, one might be a soldier serving a virtue family, but was not a member of said family.

Family members were usually by blood or marriage into the family. However, from Asura’s information, it was obvious that Rattler was so impressive that a Virtue’s family had no choice but to adopt him into the family, and they did it on such short notice too.

It was clear that they did not even want the other families to know about it.

Arlen, stroked his chin a bit. Dwarfs had a peculiar eye for talent. However, no matter how he looked at Rattler, he just could not see it.

Asura giggled a bit and added that rattler’s talent was not in cultivation. In fact, it was one of the reasons that they rushed to gobble him up so fast.

And then she turned to Eunid, “Be careful! After all, he is like you.”

Eunid was taken back by this. But he still nodded.

Just then, Ramon asked, “yes, that reminds me, where is your fiancée, is the lady of the Night not joining us?”

Eunid shook his head, “not at all. The Magicians are not on friendly terms with the Chasity family. they would not risk their jewel even tasting water here, for fear that it might be poisoned.”

Ramon nodded. Of course he knew this, but he needed confirmation. Eunid knew what wa shappening but he did not mind saying this much.

These geniuses although looked like old time friends were still heirs to their respective families and that benefit came first before anything.

Their coincidental gatherings like this was also a means to pry information from one another using smiles and desires.

They continued their conversation but it was instantly cut short as the music playing slowed to a stop and the lights suddenly went off…
