Chapter 30: Unorthodox

As for Miya, she appeared deep in thought after hearing Aaron’s words.

"This is indeed a provocation against us, but do you think the mastermind has a plan to cause chaos here?" she asked.

"I’m certain they want to cause chaos, not merely conduct an experiment. After all, they’ve already managed to maintain the effect for an entire hour. That’s more than enough time to cause a massive disturbance. With results like this, if they demonstrate it in a city, there must be a specific plan they intend to carry out there," Aaron replied.

In New York, it had only lasted ten minutes. But here, it lasted for an entire hour. Naturally, that was a major and worrying difference.

"Have you gotten any information?" Miya asked again.

"No..." Aaron shook his head. "Little Sister, you may need to ask the other Main Families for information. They might know something about the mastermind. If we can obtain some information, we can begin our investigation more accurately."

"I’ll ask them later," Miya replied before looking at her other brothers.

"First Brother, you may have to act as the city’s overseer for the time being," she said.

"I’ll naturally do my duty, but I alone won’t be enough. This city is still too vast for my perception to cover," Alexander replied.

"Miya, this also requires your help." Bastian joined the conversation. "If you oversee the city from the top of the company building, the entire city will remain within your surveillance."

"Something like this doesn’t require me to act personally. Otherwise, people will think we’re being overly paranoid," Miya replied.

"Why do you care about that? This is for the safety of the city’s residents. Every casualty will eventually damage our reputation."

"Can’t. I’m busy," Miya replied casually.

"It’s only temporary. Once the problem is resolved, you can come back here," Alexander said.

At this point, Enzo couldn’t help but give them a strange look.

It felt like they were trying to separate Miya from him by using this opportunity.

However, Miya shook her head.

"It’s more important for me to stay here. What if the enemy’s real target turns out to be this place?" she said, her eyes turning sharp.

"Wouldn’t it be a disaster if I left? Instead of relying on me, just ask the other Giants to help. If anyone is being lazy, report them to me, and I’ll personally drive them out of City Z. And as for the younger generation..."

She looked at the younger members of the family, staring at Bryan, Liam, and all the others.

"You must have plenty of friends and followers. Bring your friends with you to monitor the city. If any of you manage to stop the chaos, there will be a reward for you."

Although her decision clearly displeased Alexander, there was no one among them who could force Miya to do anything.

At that moment, the door opened again, signaling that their visiting time had come to an end.

Alexander immediately stood up.

"Let’s go!" He walked away without bothering with any further pleasantries.

The others quickly followed him.

Among them, only Aaron continued smiling at Miya.

Although he was on Alexander’s side, he clearly didn’t want to lose his courtesy toward her.

"Master, this is your car key." Mr. Joe handed Enzo a key.

Enzo was confused.

"They brought a new sports car as a gift for you," Mr. Joe explained.

"Just accept it," Miya said with a chuckle.

Enzo nodded, taking the key and putting it away.

Mr. Joe soon left, leaving only Enzo and Miya behind.

With a simple wave of her hand, every chair, sofa, and table that had disappeared returned to its original place.

The first thing Miya did afterward was grab another piece of toast and eat it.

Enzo knew exactly what she was doing when he saw that.

He took a piece as well and waited until Miya bit into her toast before feeding her another piece.

"What do you think about this incident?" Miya asked, surprising Enzo.

How could he possibly have an opinion with so little experience?

"I’m not sure," Enzo replied.

"But could this be the work of another family?"

"No, not them." Miya shook her head.

"The only people who would go through the trouble of doing something like this are those who have failed and hate those who possess power. There are many people like that everywhere. Driven by jealousy, they desire power and seek it through unorthodox methods. The problem with cultivation is that once you stray from the orthodox path, the only way forward is through extreme methods, and that is synonymous with experimentation and sacrifice."

"I know. They’re dangerous terrorists who have even kidnapped thousands of people just to use them as sacrifices."

Enzo shuddered when he thought about people like that.

Although, as time had passed since the cultivation era began, killing each other had become more common among Spiritual Warriors, causing the deaths of large numbers of people was an entirely different matter.

The problem was that these people didn’t simply kill their victims. They processed them into materials.

Even cannibals were less frightening compared to them.

"You can go to the bedroom. It’s time for me to do my nightly activities," Miya said.

"Yeah..." Enzo nodded.

He walked toward the stairs and went up to the second floor.

His mind had already become calmer after that meeting.

Since he wasn’t actually tired, he simply wanted to train.

After changing into his sleeping robe, he sat on the bed, took the bottle containing Miya’s flame out of his Storage Ring, and placed it in front of him.

However, he didn’t start cultivating immediately.

He gathered the books containing insights into the Three Heaven Flame Technique and began reading them.

This time, he read slowly.

The insights contained many details, and they were something he needed to understand little by little. He also needed to connect those insights with the technique from his own perspective.

There was no such thing as an easy path when it came to this.

For two hours, he only read the insights regarding the initial level.

He put the rest aside for now. There was no point in rushing through the advanced insights while his understanding was still low.

He closed his eyes and meditated.

At that moment, he could feel the heat radiating from the bottle, the warmth enveloping his entire body.

Heat like this might have caused discomfort to others, but to him, it wasn’t a disturbance.

It was actually helping him.

It gave him a sense of connection to the Golden Heaven Flame.
