He Became A Monstrous Genius After Obtaining A Time Dilation Artifact-Chapter 520. influence 2

"Grand uncle."

Kailen’s figure flickered as he muttered.

He reappeared at the entrance to the large hall.

At that moment, his grand uncle, his wife, and children were entering the banquet hall.

However, one of the attendants, who seemed drunk on something at the moment, was preventing them from entering.

"How dare you come to this gathering. Who the hell are you? Don’t you know this is a place for only the—"

Suddenly, the attendant sensed that even the chatters in the hall and the music had died down.

An ominous feeling crept up his spine.

He turned around, only to find Kailen Darkhaven standing there.

"Ah, grandnephew. Came just in time."

The moment Boro spoke, the attendant couldn’t help but feel his world crumbling.

"Mmm. Is everything alright, grand uncle?"

"Oh. Nothing to bother yourself with. Let’s head inside."

"Mmm."

At this moment, a feeling of extreme fear had enveloped the attendant.

He just offended the relative of Excellency Kailen Darkhaven?

Before he could even apologize, Kailen completely ignored him after sending him a calm look.

The look made him feel like he had been drowned into an abyss.

He collapsed out of fear.

After that, Kailen, Boro, and his family headed inside, completely ignoring the fellow.

The emperor and the empress caught wind of what had happened.

They wanted to execute the attendant on the spot for what he had done.

However, Boro suggested he just be replaced, as he thought the fellow had learnt his lesson already.

The emperor and the empress then decided to let it go.

Many stared at Boro and his family with intrigued expressions.

This was Colonel Boro Darkhaven?

His Excellency’s last living paternal relative?

Many heard he was a hero of the Astral Empire Frontlines who had retired to be with his family here.

Suddenly...

"Excellency Concima of the low tier civilisation headquarters of the Universe Alliance has come to pay his respects!"

"Excellency..."

"Excellency...."

".....has come to pay—"

"Pope Vatican IV of the Vatican Empire has come to pay his respects!"

"Emperor Takashi Uzumaki of the Uzumaki Empire has come to pay his respects!"

"Emperor Cornelia VII of the Cornelius Empire has come to pay his respects!"

"Emperor Xu of the Tian Xu Empire has come to pay his respects!"

The crowd gasped at the continual arrival of all these powerhouses.

Everyone knew they were not here for the Emperor and the Empress.

They were here for Excellency Darkhaven.

Although they had not been invited to the banquet officially, they found it disrespectful to not come to honor the most powerful man in the Low Tier Civilisation.

Several of the arriving powerhouses sighed as they interacted with Kailen and exchanged polite greetings with him.

Who would have thought that in just three years after leaving the Frontlines of the Astral Empire, this young man will become like this?

The banquet proceeded harmoniously without any dramatic occurrence.

The conversations, the chatter, the formal and polite giggles continued.

At this moment, three individuals stood at the balcony of the large hall.

The place was serene, facing the beach, the quadruple moons shining their lights on them.

It was Concima, Arnold, and Henrita.

"How you holding up?" Concima asked.

Arnold smiled, gaze distant, flickering with emotion.

"We miss him."

Concima nodded.

His voice was calm, but full of sadness.

"Mmm. I know. I can’t believe my disciple is gone."

"At least we’ve managed to live on. That’s what he would have wanted, right? Old man?"

"Yeah. He’d be proud of you."

"Thanks, old man."

At this moment, the presence of someone was felt on the balcony.

The figure didn’t say a word.

"Excellency Darkhaven," Concima smiled.

Kailen nodded with a warm smile.

At the moment, three paintings appeared before Kailen.

Kailen handed three copies over to them.

It was a painting of Ross, Arnold, Concima, and Henrita together.

They felt very touched.

Kailen had made this painting for them.

The emotion in the painting was that of warmth and longing.

However, the scene was moving. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

In the painting, they were seated in a beautiful grassy plane, camping together and exchanging expressions of warmth with one another.

They would occasionally eat a meal, giggle, and all that.

Kailen had become a living scene painter.

And this was his first living scene painting.

Henrita, who had been silent the whole time, had a tear form in her eyes.

She expressed her sincerity.

"Thank you, Your Excellency."

Kailen simply nodded with a smile.

After that, he was about to leave when Concima spoke.

"Guys, I would like to have a word or two with Colonel Darkhaven. Kindly excuse us for a moment."

Arnold nodded towards Kailen with a thank you smile.

Kailen nodded back.

After that, Arnold left with Henrita.

"He still doesn’t care about me, I suppose? It seems he only made a copy of the painting for me because of you," Henrita asked Arnold when they got back to the banquet hall.

Arnold sighed.

He didn’t know what to say.

"Kailen does not hold a grudge against you. He simply doesn’t see you as a friend."

Henrita nodded.

She thought back to a few years ago when she ruined an opportunity to be very close to Kailen through her disrespectful attitude at the alchemy society of the Astral Empire Academy.

Sighing once more, she decided to let it go.

"Let’s enjoy the banquet, cousin Arnold."

"Mmm."

However, a thought lingered on Arnold’s mind.

Kailen was now a living scene painter.

Being a living scene painter meant that his connection to the dao had been enhanced. This meant that he had a greater advantage to comprehend a law and break through to the dao level.

It meant that he had an advantage when it came to breaking through to the dao level.

This guy was something else.

Pushing these thoughts to the back of his mind, he decided to enjoy the banquet.

After tonight, what followed was severe training in the Sacred Sea Secret Sect.

At this moment, Kailen and Concima stood on the balcony.

"I wish Ross was alive to see how far you’ve come, Kailen," Concima said.

Kailen smiled.

"I remember the first time I saw him in the academy. He looked like just a simple old man looking for a way to cure his son."

Concima chuckled.

"That little bastard was always a family man."

"Family man, huh."

Kailen’s gaze was distant.

"Did he have a wife?"

"He did. She was a Colonel. Died in active duty."

Kailen sighed.

"He couldn’t afford to lose Arnold too, even to point of not giving up, willing to step down from his position in the academy and focus on doing everything possible to save his life."

"Mmm. Anyway, HQ has a task for you."
