City of Desire Novel Chapter 490: Anger

Shaun Carter

"Nothing gives more joy than a drink after a hard day of work," I said as I took a sip of my favorite drink.

It is the only bar that is open in the tower. There are a few people aside from us, including Miss Eva's son, who had beco regular.

"Hard, my ass. You do nothing, but lounge around every day," said my sister.

Taking a sip from her own drink.

"It is at least better than walking around the tower day and night," I replied.

Hun!

She glared and opened her mouth to counter when suddenly the atmosphere of the whole tower had changed.

The whole tower shook like an earthquake had co, before it roiled aggressively with the power of aura and volcanic anger.

It's was so overwhelming that it froze us while many people around us begin to fall unconscious.

The anger is so intense, that it has overwheld people. Forcing their support system makes them fall unconscious to shield them from damage.

It took

seconds to recover from it and shield my mind. A ti, more than enough to kill

in ten different ways.

I turned to my sister and saw her looking at

with her expression serious.

Sothing terrible had happened. To make Lord Silver radiate such rage.

I have been guarding for months and I know how good the man is at controlling his emotions.

He rarely let his emotions out of his control.

I didn't waste any ti and got off my chair, cast haste on myself, and moved toward the floors above with Stena beside

with her speed skill.

"This is terrifying. He has amplified the power of his aura and spread it into the entire legacy," whispered Stena, shocked.

She isn't the only one.

I had seen the aura work. This is not the strongest one I experienced, but the most terrifying one.

Such power from an aura is rare. Especially from the person, who had awakened it less than a month ago.

The most terrifying thing about it is that such power is felt across the entire legacy, targeting thousands of people in the legacy.

Not a small area size of the room, with all of them feeling similar overwhelming rage as us.

"That's the masters of the legacy for you," I said to her.

…..

Senar

"Madam, what happened?" I asked Madam Caena as I reached the top floor.

There are already a lot of people have gathered. Assistant madams, guards. There is even Miss Rolgath and Lady Blackwell.

All of them looked at the door with deep shock and fear.

The storm of rage and aura is pressing on

like a mountain. I am barely holding on again it.

I have seen people fainting on my floor. I had asked those conscious to get those unconscious people out before coming here.

"No, idea, but it is sothing terrible," she replied softly while looking at the door.

Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author's preferred platform and support their work!

I could see the conflict in her eyes. She wants to open the door but is hesitating.

…..

"He doesn't want to talk to you," said Zela and the anger in my heart raged further.

It wasn't a sexual assault, but rape.

Now, that bastard's father isn't willing to talk to . I didn't want to talk to him either, but he had taken Carla and others into custody.

When it is his son who committed the cri.

"Since he doesn't want the easy way. We will show him the difficult way," I said.

I don't want to do that, but there is no other choice.

"Inform the imperials, that we are suspending the supply of emotion essence to the empire effective imdiately, till we have Carla safely in the city," I said.

Making her eyes widen in shock.

"Lord Silver, it's not wise to push them in such a way," said Jon as he beca visible.

He never comnts on political matters, but this ti he did. He is right, but I am going to do it.

"They need to know, that emotion's essence isn't free. We are giving that to them because we expect sothing in return and they better give us when we ask for it," I replied.

Every person pays for emotions essence in so form. Except for the imperials. It's a tithe to them, but it's not without conditions.

Till now, I didn't demand anything. If I did, I paid extra for that. I could have saved a lot of emotions' essence by levering the tithe to get what I wanted, but I paid extra to get those favors.

It is for a mont like this.

When I need help, I damn well expect the imperials to help . If they don't, I will stop the flow of emotion essence, which they cannot afford.

There are eight legacies in the empire. Excluding mine and my legacy produces more than double the emotion essence of seven combined.

Only could compare to

and not because it is as big as mine, but because it's the throne.

This is not a threat, I had given to them, but a promise.

I will do it. I wouldn't have dared to do sothing like this before the legacy advanced to Grade, but now I am daring to.

"Count Raul isn't a simple man. He was able to remain neutral, even at such tis," said Zela, and I smiled.

The man is powerful, personally and militarily, and still neutral, which itself spoke of his power, but that works in my favor.

If he had been in the camp of either, it might have been difficult to pressure him.

Now, it is slightly easier.

He is not without enemies, and one is his neighbor and equally powerful.

"Inform him. If he doesn't release Carla within a day, then I will support Viscount Larnis."

"I will start by giving him a thousand essence bottles within a month, and that will be just the beginning," I ordered, while they watched in shock.

I am feeling powerless right now. If I had been powerful, his son wouldn't have dared to do what he had done, and he wouldn't have even thought about taking Carla into custody.

I cannot go to Ertburn with the army to save Carla or do sothing to avenge her honor.

He could crush

personally, and his army would decimate mine in minutes.

His son will remain unhard, despite the heinous cri he committed against my love.

"The pri minister, Haas, and Aralis want to talk to you. There is also Salazar and Lord of Inam and Owlspring," inford Zela.

"Connect

with Haas," I said, and she raised her hand toward .

I took it, and around ten seconds later, we connected.

"Pri Minister," I greeted. 'Lord Silver,' the man with a deep voice said from another end.

There was a silence for a mont before I spoke.

"I hope, you will help . Pri minister," I said to the man.

'Of course, Lord Silver, but such things take ti and patience. You cannot rush these things riding on your emotions." He replied.

"You need to be patient, such things take ti,' he added a mont later.

He even used the skill, but I resisted with my aura and the legacy.

'I am not in a patient mood, Pri Minister."

"If they don't release my mistress, and do it by the morning, I am going to contact Viscount Larnis and offer him the complete support of my legacy.' I replied.

I especially said legacy instead of Greltheaven or . He should understand, I an, the essences.

Implying the emotion essence that I was going to supply to them will go to him.

Viscount Larnis may be saying he is neutral, but he aligns with Princess Orlene. The Crown Prince wouldn't want

to give my support to him.

Especially when the man is preparing for another attack on Ertburn.

There was a silence for a mont from the other side, before the man spoke again.

"You shouldn't make a hasty decision, Lord Silver," advised the Pri Minister, with a clear hardness in his voice.

A warning and with it ca the power of his skill. Much stronger than before.

I resisted.

"It is my decision, and I will do what I had said. I hope his majesty will support

for it," I replied with a voice even harder.

I am not going to change my decision, and he better not press .

"I am only asking for my Mistress back, Pri Minister. I am not saying anything about avenging her honor, I understand it is not a ti for that." I added, softly.

I will avenge her honor. It will take ti, but I will do it.

"We will talk again in a few hours when you cald down enough, Lord Silver," he said and cut the connection.

He didn't say anything about talking to Count Raul, but he will. He just didn't say it, because if the man didn't agree, it would look bad on him.

"Viscount Laris wants to talk to you," said Zela. "Set the call for an hour later," I replied.

There are a few more people, I need to talk to first before I talk to him. He is my last card, and I don't want to use him as there will be consequences.

Currently, I do not have the power to bear them without coming out of it unscathed.
