nAt this moment, in everyone’s eyes, his back view was even higher than the sky.

n

n

nHarriet Terrence and the others had mixed feelings.

n

n

n

n

nThe shadow that had hung over the heads of Alcott and the Yheng Empire for more than six hundred years had disappeared completely because of the appearance of Joelson alone.

n

n

nIn less than a day, he had used powerful methods to suppress the light and destroy the darkness.

n

n

nIt was as if the sun was hanging high in the sky. Under his light, all the haze had disappeared.

n

n

n…

n

n

n

n

nThe Capital of Alcott.

n

n

nEveryone gathered outside Marquis Edward’s mansion.

n

n

nCountless carriages filled with gifts lined up from the street to the end of the street. The few carriages at the front were even engraved with the family emblems of the royal family and the duke’s mansion.

n

n

nThe door of the marquis’s mansion was closed for three days, but there was not a trace of impatience on these people’s faces. They were all waiting quietly.

n

n

n

n

nEveryone knew.

n

n

nThe Edward family’s super genius, Joelson, had returned.

n

n

nFurthermore, he was no longer the so-called number one genius of the Alcott Empire.

n

n

nHe was the number one expert in the entire southern region. Even the Church of Light and the Dark Church were under his feet.

n

n

nThe news of the Dark Church’s destruction had already spread. The Blazing Sun Empire’s diplomatic mission had arrived a few days ago. Their words were filled with respect and admiration for Joelson.

n

n

nJoelson had personally promoted Alcott to the position of the number one empire in the Southern Region.

n

n

n

n

nAlcott was proud of him!

n

n

n“Joelson.”

n

n

nOld Morgan sat in the hall with a face full of joy. Because he had consumed the water of the spring of life, his appearance was even younger than six years ago.

n

n

n“You have brought unprecedented glory to the Edward family.”

n

n

nJoelson smiled faintly and did not speak.

n

n

nHe was in a good mood when he saw his father, Old Morgan.

n

n

nThe lying bearded mage had also changed a lot.

n

n

nThe old man was wearing a beautiful mage robe, which made him look like an upper-class noble.

n

n

n

n

nOld Morgan and Joelson talked for a while and, soon, a tall figure walked out of the room.

n

n

nDarlene placed the freshly brewed black tea on the table and stood behind Joelson with a gentle gaze.

n

n

nThis powerful female dark elf archer was now the little woman behind Joelson.

n

n

nOld Morgan smiled at Darlene with a strange look in his eyes.

n

n

n“Joelson, have you met Catherine and her sister?”

n

n

nJoelson was stunned and shook his head.

n

n

n“The people from the Lucca Chamber of Commerce said that they’re not in the capital but they’re on their way here.”

n

n

nWith the care of Harriet Terrence and the royal family, the Lucca Chamber of Commerce had become the first chamber of Commerce in Alcott in six years.

n

n

nCatherine was very busy and had been on the road all year round.

n

n

nThis time, she brought Juliana along as well. She happened to miss the first meeting with Joelson but she also avoided the battle when the Dark Church attacked the city.

n

n

nOld Morgan seemed to want to say something to Joelson but he changed the topic and said, “What are you going to do with Princess Dayshannon? Are you going to marry her?”

n

n

nJoelson nodded. “I’ll ask Dayshannon later and pick a time.”

n

n

nOld Morgan looked at the calm Darlene and whispered, “You’re much stronger than me.”

n

n

n

n

nJoelson shook his head with a smile.

n

n

nCounting carefully, if he counted the two women that Nicholas forced on him, he did have quite a lot of women.

n

n

nSuddenly, hurried footsteps came from the door.

n

n

nJoelson’s expression changed and his powerful spiritual power told him.

n

n

nIt was Catherine and Juliana who were running towards him.

n

n

nHowever, something did not seem right.

n

n

nTwo slender figures appeared in front of Joelson.

n

n

nThey had the same blue hair. One of them was tall and beautiful. It was Catherine.

n

n

nThe other was very gentle. She had the shyness of a young girl and the maturity of a woman. It was Juliana.

n

n

nThe two pairs of eyes were fixed on Joelson. There was a strong love and longing in their eyes.

n

n

nJoelson smiled at them and opened his arms. The two figures almost jumped into his arms at the same time.

n

n

nSmelling the strange but familiar fragrance of his hair, Joelson said softly, “I’m back.”

n

n

nThe two of them hugged Joelson even tighter.

n

n

nJuliana even started sobbing on his chest, her tears wetting his robe.

n

n

nCatherine’s eyes were also red. She looked up at him carefully and smiled happily again.

n

n

nAfter a while, he let go of them and slowly walked forward.

n

n

nHis expression was curious, serious, strange, and excited.

n

n

nA small head came out from behind the maid and quietly looked at him.

n

n

nHer beautiful eyes were as bright as black gemstones. There was curiosity and a hint of fear in them.

n

n

nCatherine took two steps forward, took Joelson’s arm, and gently waved at the little one.

n

n

n“Funina, come here quickly.”

n

n

nThe little guy walked up carefully.

n

n

nShe was wearing a brown jacket with a white shirt, and beautiful riding boots. She looked very cute.

n

n

n“Who is she?”

n

n

nJoelson asked in a low voice as if he could not believe it.

n

n

nIf anyone else saw the cold and overbearing Platinum Throne, their jaws would drop.

n

n

n“She is your child, Joelson.”

n

n

nCatherine said softly.

n

n

nJoelson had already noticed it.

n

n

nThe little one had a blood connection with him. She was just six years old this year, so she should have been born not long after Joelson left.

n

n

nIn the mainland language, Funina meant “missing,” so there was no need to explain the meaning.

n

n

nJoelson gently hugged the little one in his arms and picked her up.

n

n

nThe little one was still a little scared at first but the closeness of her blood allowed her to quickly get close to Joelson.

n

n

nShe opened her mouth and called out softly, “Father.”

n

n

nThe corners of Joelson’s mouth unconsciously curled up, and he only felt an indescribable joy in his heart.

n

n

n“Hahaha!”

n

n

nThe little one had short hair.

n

n

nJoelson held her in his arms. In a short while, Funina had completely removed the sense of strangeness from him and was amused by him.

n

n

nJoelson’s spiritual power went into Funina’s body and he raised his eyebrows slightly.

n

n

nMetal and fire dual-element magic talent.

n

n

nHer physique was also very good and she had very outstanding knight talent.

n

n

nJoelson asked Catherine, “Have you taught her to practice magic or combat aura?”

n

n

nCatherine nodded and said, “We have already tested her talent. I have taught her the meditation method but she has never been willing to learn it properly. Until now, she has not even meditated once.”

n

n

nCatherine’s beautiful face revealed a helpless smile and she gently stroked Funina’s hair.

n

n

n“I’ll make my own arrangements,” Joelson said calmly

n

n

nCatherine’s eyes were filled with joy.

n

n

nAfter playing with the little one for a while, Joelson secretly implanted a bit of metal and fire magic inheritances into her mind. Of course, there were also two high-level combat aura inheritances.

n

n

nJoelson did not have much time to personally teach this god-given surprise to him.

n

n

nBut he could pave the way for the child’s future.
