Chapter 1090 Secret Hidden Within (3)
The wizened man paled under her gaze. He knew Stella\'s strength, but defying the alliance would be reckless. However, he couldn\'t find any to refute her since he knew Stella had a point.
However, the problem was that this prophecy was pointed toward the House White, not toward anyone else. If it were this easy, he would be the first to use this tactic since he was not heartless enough to do such a thing to his first grandson.
In fact, he was the happiest when Ace was born, but with just one damn phenomenon, everything changed, and he can\'t defy the Sages, or it won\'t be good for House White.
Between his own Grandson and House White, Leonard White will always choose House White, for he is its current Head!
"Sister-in-law, you\'re speaking as if we are vile villains who want to harm my precious nephew. He has to live in the Alliance for some time until the Sages are satisfied and confirm he\'s not the babe in the prophecy." At this moment, the middle-aged man finally spoke with a gentle smile on his face, appearing very amiable.
However, Stella\'s eyes were filled with disgust as she merely glanced at him and disdainfully stated, "Brother-in-law, how about you trying to say the same thing in front of your Big Brother, my husband?"
The middle-aged man, James White, who was also Leonard White\'s youngest son and Owen White\'s little brother, paled a little and couldn\'t help but feel a chill running down his spine when he thought about his short-tempered brother. He decided to keep his mouth shut.
On the other hand, Ethel, the golden-haired woman who is also James\'s wife, shows a hint of contempt for her cowardly husband. Owen White was James White\'s trauma!
"Stella, think clearly," Leonard said gravely, "If you don\'t comply with the Sages, nothing good will come out of it. Let us resolve this in peace. Even your House Alexandros\'s Sages are working with House White Sages to ensure Ace won\'t suffer any harm."
Stella\'s expression went colder when she heard that her house name was involved in this matter, and truthfully, she loath them all.
"Let\'s assume nothing would happen to him," She said in a neutral tone, "But what if he turned out to be the child in the prophecy? Who will guarantee his safety? We all know that the Sages only have their own interests in mind and do nothing but scheme all day long.
"My son has talent that has never been seen in ??? Heaven, which is not only a danger to the Sage\'s interests but many more. If you ask me, I think they are just using this prophecy as an excuse to suppress my son\'s talent or make sure he won\'t rebel against them. If he doesn\'t comply…" Killing intent swirled in her eyes as they turned into black holes, "So, I won\'t give away my son to the Sages to turn him into their puppet. Even if I have to sacrifice my life, I\'ll make sure of his safety!"
Witnessing this whole drama unfold, Ace couldn\'t help but feel warmth in his heart seeing his heroic mother willing to stake her life for him. He cursed himself for being unfilial and for even thinking about his parents, who had abandoned him back then.
As for the others in the room, he didn\'t have any good feelings towards them. In fact, he hated them for conspiring against an infant, especially this \'alliance\' and \'sages.\' He wanted to know where they were and steal everything, including their lives.
\'I hope nothing had happened to her. But where is my father when something like this is happening to his wife and son? Moreover, this most likely hadn\'t ended peacefully since I still ended up with that bloodline seal… wait, I\'m really thinking this is all real now?\'
Ace sighed but didn\'t think more about it as he was anxious about his mother. He couldn\'t help but feel ashamed when he saw his baby self still happily laughing.
Ignorance was really bliss, and for an innocent baby, this was just gibberish of adults, and as long as he was in his mother\'s embrace, he would never feel afraid.
"Tsk, I\'ve told you that stubborn girl won\'t comply peacefully!" An annoyed voice rang at this moment, and Leonard\'s expression went ashen.
"Don\'t you dare harm my clan\'s heiress!" An impassive voice a woman\'s rang in warning.
Stella\'s expression also changed as she felt her heart sinking to the bottom of the abyss because she knew things were turning hectic. Despite being confident in her abilities to escape from Leonard, she didn\'t have the same confidence in the owners of these voices.
The next moment, the fabric of space suddenly lifted like curtains, and powerful auras beyond imagination enveloped everyone in the hall. Behind the torn space were gigantic silhouettes glowing in otherworldly radiance like revered deities.
Even baby Ace, who was amusingly smiling a moment ago, stopped and looked in the direction where the space had been tear-opened with curiosity. He was fully protected by his mother\'s aura; she wouldn\'t let anything happen to him.
The adult Ace was the most shocked about this as he witnessed this absurd scene. Despite knowing it was just a memory or an illusion, he still felt horrifying prowess, just like his new \'master\'s\' from those multiple silhouettes.
Furthermore, his eyes began to burn as he tried to see through their radiance as if a mortal was trying to peer into the burning sun.
\'Are they the sages they were talking about?\' Ace wondered with a grim expression. He still felt the same way despite knowing how ridiculously powerful they were!
