Chapter 147
The Main Mission
Long Jiu, Zhuo Fan, and Arthur entered the Xian Long Pavilion.
A heavy silence filled the place, a silence that carried not comfort, but decisions capable of changing the fate of entire families.
The three sat together.
Long Jiu slowly moved his hand and took out an old-looking contract paper, its edges saturated with a strict official aura.
Zhuo Fan smiled with unsettling calmness, his eyes gleaming with obvious cunning.
'Finally…
This is the alliance contract between the Xian Long Pavilion and the Luo Family.'
Zhuo Fan stood up as though he had already finished what he came for and turned to leave.
But—
At that moment—
Long Jiu took out a second sheet of paper and silently extended it toward Arthur.
Zhuo Fan froze in place.
Arthur's eyes widened slightly.
A brief silence passed before Long Jiu sighed calmly and spoke in a steady voice:
"This is not a contract with the Luo Family."
Time itself seemed to pause for a moment.
Then he continued:
"It is an alliance contract… personally with Brother Zhuo Fan and Brother Arthur."
He looked at them deeply.
"Wherever these two stand… the Xian Long Pavilion shall stand with them."
A heavy silence filled the room.
Then Zhuo Fan slowly smiled, a deep smile carrying complete understanding of the weight behind those words.
The two signed the contract without hesitation.
Afterward, each of them returned to the Luo Family residence.
Zhuo Fan immediately headed toward Young Lady Li Yun Xing's pavilion to inform her of the news,
while Arthur returned to his room, burdened by thoughts, seeking rest.
'This world… is completely different from Kim Dokja's world.
So far, I haven't seen the existence of Ruler-level power or anything above it…
But according to the nature of this world… it won't take long.'
Arthur sighed softly before asking:
"Kain… what is my main mission here?"
A window quietly appeared before him.
| Main Mission: Raise the Luo Family to the Peak
Help the Luo Family rise to the top among all families in less than ten years.
Support them and remain loyal to them.
Time Limit: Ten Years
Reward: Increases depending on how short the time is and how powerful the Luo Family becomes
Failure: Death |
| This is your main mission in this world, Arthur.
Be cautious from now on, for this world is different from Kim Dokja's world,
and its laws are different as well. Complete the mission carefully. |
Arthur took a deep breath.
'Thank you, Kain… but I have one question.
Is the transfer ability currently disabled? Or can I still travel and return?'
| Currently, the transfer ability is disabled.
In the future it will return, but your level of progress in the mission does not permit it yet. |
'So… the more I progress in the main mission, the higher the chance of transferring.
Good… that's good.'
Arthur sighed quietly and sank into thought.
'How do I help the Luo Family develop?
And how do I bring them to the top as quickly as possible?
Right now… I'm helping Zhuo Fan.
Zhuo Fan is intelligent and powerful… but he's also cunning and deceitful.
Even so, he genuinely believes in the rise of the Luo Family and pursues it by every possible means.
If I want to complete my main mission… then I have to support him with everything I have.'
The thoughts gradually drifted through his mind until sleep finally overtook him.

The next morning
"Brother Arthur! Wake up quickly!"
"What is it…?"
Arthur opened his eyes to Pang Tong's anxious voice.
"An invitation from the Empire! The gathering of the three families!
Young Lady, Young Master, and Zhuo Fan… everyone is waiting for you."
'The gathering of the three families…
What are they trying to accomplish?'
Arthur was truly exhausted.
Throughout the previous days, he had been running everywhere… training in order to regain part of his strength.
Thinking. Planning.
Everything had exhausted him to an absurd degree.
His black hair was completely messy, and his face still looked half-asleep, yet he stood up.
Arthur smiled calmly, changed his clothes, and left with Pang Tong.
When he arrived, everyone was already waiting for him.
"Finally, you came."
"My apologies for the delay."
Together, they headed toward the meeting hall.
Young Master Li Yun Hai walked at the front,
with his sister Li Yun Xing on his left,
Arthur beside her,
Zhuo Fan on the right,
and Pang Tong behind them.
At the head of the table sat the Third Prince,
while Ancestor Feng stood silently behind him in all his imposing dignity.
Everyone bowed respectfully toward the Imperial Family—
except Arthur and Zhuo Fan.
"Please, have a seat,"
the Third Prince said politely.
Arthur and Zhuo Fan stepped forward, pulled out chairs for Li Yun Xing and Li Yun Hai, then stood respectfully behind them.
"By order of the Emperor…
this prince has gathered the three families today
to reveal their history throughout the past thousand years."
The prince began explaining the Four Pillars,
the secret agreement of the Radiant Pearl,
and how one family had developed enough to become one of the Seven Families—
the Eighth Family.
Arthur spoke in a low, genuinely tired voice, but it remained clear:
"Even if the Eighth Family appears, the goal is not to stop the other families,
but to create a balanced equilibrium between them."
Then he continued:
"Wars usually break out when one side possesses overwhelming superiority.
No sane person starts a war without sufficient support or power…
unless the hatred is worth the risk."
The Third Prince smiled.
"Correct, Arthur… just as expected from you."
Zhuo Fan sighed before speaking:
"What Arthur said is true, but there's one thing I don't understand."
"And what is that?"
"How will you allow us to grow into the Eighth Family?
Even with the Imperial Family's support…
what about the opinion of the Seven Families?
Will they simply stand by and watch?"
A heavy silence descended.
Zhuo Fan had struck the heart of the issue.
The Seven Families…
a deeply rooted power since the Empire's foundation.
Would they allow a weak family to rise?
That was unacceptable to them.
The prince explained everything once again,
speaking about the inherited secret martial arts.
"So… the three arts can be merged?
And only the Imperial Family possesses the method."
"Yes… you understand now."
Then the prince said:
"Everyone, bring forth your inherited arts."
Sweat gathered on the foreheads of the Li and Cai Families.
They had lost theirs long ago.
Arthur quietly looked toward Zhuo Fan.
Zhuo Fan smiled and took out two golden pieces.
"There is no need to worry, Your Highness.
I have recovered the martial arts of both families."
The prince grabbed them happily.
An argument immediately broke out over who would inherit the skill.
Shouting rose loudly,
and the Cai and Li Families exchanged insults,
while the Luo Family remained on the sidelines.
Suddenly—
Li Yun Hai slammed the table violently.
"Enough!"
Silence filled the hall.
"When the three families merge…
the only family capable of leading them… is the Luo Family."
One of the Cai Family members laughed mockingly.
"And what would a brat like you know?"
Yun Hai's expression changed.
"That's right… we have no money and no pills,
and only five people remain of our family…"
Then he pointed behind him.
"But don't forget…
the Luo Family still possesses Zhuo Fan… and Arthur."
'What a clever little brat…'
Arthur smiled calmly.
The Cai Family Head sneered.
"And what exactly can two servants do?"
Arthur and Zhuo Fan smiled at the same time.
Then they slammed the table.
Two papers appeared.
Alliance contracts.
"This is the alliance agreement between the Luo Family and the Xian Long Pavilion."
Shock spread everywhere.
Arthur stepped forward, his voice becoming firm.
"Allow me to say just one thing…
Even without the Radiant Pearl Agreement,
the Luo Family will rise and become the greatest family in the Empire—
with the help of Zhuo Fan and myself."
His tone rose.
"We do not need the support of the other families.
They are merely a burden to us."
Then he finished in a tone that allowed no doubt:
"The Luo Family will become the greatest…
no matter what happens.
And never forget that.
We do not need any of your support, nor do we want your pity.
To tell the truth, I'm too exhausted to care about whatever any of you are saying right now.
So remember one important thing—
the Luo Family will rise and become the greatest."
These were not merely words…
but unwavering conviction.
And it was…
his main mission.
