Chapter 750: Chapter 750 – The Sun Royal Family  The two were looking at each other on the minaret’s top floor. Neither of them said a word. The scene fell into a dead silence. An ordinary person would probably feel awkward at this moment. Fortunately, neither Chen Heng nor the old man was an ordinary person, at least on the surface.

Chen Heng stood quietly with a smile on his face. Though the old man did not respond to him, he did not feel awkward and just stared at the old man, waiting quietly for an answer.

At the same time, he could feel his bloodline throbbing in his body. The throbbing of the royal bloodline was one of the several primogenitor bloodlines.

‘That bloodline was…’

Chen Heng suppressed the bloodline in his body as he pondered. It was not until a moment later that he came to a realization. In an instant, the blood in his body was boiling, radiating in all directions like the sun.

At this moment, he was like a Divine Son in the eyes of the old man before him. His entire body was crystal clear, and one could vaguely see the outline and traces of blood.

Is he the successor of the Sun’s Bloodline?’ Then, the old man stood up from the ground almost subconsciously, no longer maintaining his previous sitting posture. The aura on Chen Heng’s body shocked the old man. A rustling sound could be heard from where he stood. Dust was constantly falling from the old man’s body.

The old man had been sitting upright for an unknown amount of time in this prison, so much so that his body was covered in dust. Hence, the scene looked spectacular as he stood up. Even Chen Heng was a little surprised.

From its looks, the old man had been in this place for a long time, which was surprising according to the King’s Council’s style. As a royal bloodline, the old man was kept and placed here for such a long time. Therefore, there must be some special reason behind it.

The old man was actually of the Sun’s bloodline, which was indeed surprising. However, on the other hand, this was also a good thing. At least he didn’t have to deliberately suppress the bloodline in his body so that he could reveal it directly.

To a certain extent, both of them had the Sun’s bloodline. Hence they should be closer to each other, making it more convenient for them to foster a relationship.

Thinking of this, the smile on Chen Heng’s face remained as he continued to look at the old man. Under his gaze, the old man before him finally made a move.

“So, what’s your name?” He looked at Chen Heng and finally said something.

His voice was hoarse and sounded a little harsh to the ear as if he had not spoken for a long time.

“Kling Nardo.” Chen Heng said his name.

“Kling Nardo?” The old man immediately frowned, “Nardo?”

Hearing Chen Heng’s words, he seemed disappointed, “A name I’ve never heard of.” However, in the end, he thoroughly thought about it and confirmed that he had never heard of the name Nardo in the past.

“It’s normal.” Chen Heng nodded and said, “The Nardo family is just a small family. It’s not very ancient, so, normally, you haven’t heard of it, Sir.”

“A small family…” The old man looked at Chen Heng with a complicated expression. No one knew what he was thinking about.

Standing there, he was silent for a long time, then he said again, “My name is Grissom. As for my surname, you don’t need to know it. No point telling you about a family that has already fallen.” He looked at Chen Heng and said in a low voice as if he was a little disappointed.

“I don’t think so.” Chen Heng smiled and said, “Nothing in this world is destined. Even the royal families who founded the prosperous empire in the past will eventually weaken one day.

Today’s king may be a skeleton tomorrow. On the other hand, today’s ruined family may have another day of vitality in the future. What matters is never the current adversity, but the willingness to change.” Chen Heng said solemnly.

“What you said makes sense.” Hearing Chen Heng’s words, the old man seemed slightly moved. First, he nodded his head with some emotion, but then he was a little discouraged, “But this is me now…”

The once prosperous Sun Empire had long collapsed. As for the Sun Royal Family that the Sun Empire left behind, not many of them remained. Other than this old man, there weren’t many Sun Royal Family members who had awakened the Sun’s bloodline. Nonetheless, the old man himself had fallen into such a state and didn’t have much life left in the future.

‘However, there was still hope…’ The old man’s heart moved, and his gaze again fell on Chen Heng before him.

The environment inside the minaret was gloomy, but it was slightly better at the top level. In the outside world, the faint sunlight shone on Chen Heng’s body, making his entire body radiate with a dazzling light, looking completely different compared to the old man hiding in the shadows.

The same applied to the aura on Chen Heng’s body. It was full of vitality, as vigorous as the rising sun, forming a sharp contrast with the old man— a young and an old, optimistic and sluggish, sunlight and darkness. Two completely different people stood here as if they were from two eras.

Looking at Chen Heng’s appearance, the old man could not help but feel a little touched and had some inexplicable emotions.

Indeed, although his family had long fallen, it did not mean that Sun’s bloodline would disappear. On the contrary, although the young man before him had long forgotten the history and glory of the past and even lost the Sun Royal Family’s surname, the Sun’s bloodline on his body was so vigorous. It was the best evidence that the Sun’s bloodline still existed and had not weakened.

“You are great, young man,” Looking at Chen Heng, Grissom finally nodded and said, “If you are free in the future, come and accompany me more often. I hope you can move on as you mentioned.” He said and then quietly sat down cross-legged, returning to his previous position.

Before him, Chen Heng looked at the old man and silently smiled. He did not mind the old man’s silence, as seeing the old man was already a pleasant surprise for him. As for the rest, there was no need to be anxious.

“Take your time to rest.” Chen Heng nodded and said, “The environment here is quite terrible. I will send someone over to clean it up after a while.”

The environment here was indeed terrible. The surroundings were full of dust, and the old decorations didn’t seem like they could be used at all. It was quite an eyesore. To Chen Heng, cleaning this place up would also make it more pleasing to the eye.

Then, Chen Heng left the place. Behind him, Grissom silently opened his eyes. He was hidden in the shadows, and his gaze was fixed on Chen Heng. No one knew what he was thinking. After a long time, he let out a long sigh. No one knew if he was sighing about his circumstances or something else.

Chen Heng stayed here in the following period. Chen Heng became one of Jameson’s subordinates. Jameson was quite generous to Chen Heng, giving him much freedom. Then, Chen Heng volunteered to come here and help Jameson suppress this prison.

This decision was out of Jameson’s expectations. After all, suppressing the prison may seem easy, but there wasn’t much money to make here, let alone doing meritorious deeds and striving for rewards like others. The only benefit was that Chen Heng could freely use the prisoners here, though it meant nothing.

The King’s Council was a big business, and all the official members were treated well. Hence they usually didn’t care about the materials gathered from the bloodline masters’ corpses. This was also the reason why Chen Heng could easily get this job.

Chen Heng cared about things that others didn’t care about. His path of bloodline advancement required the replenishing and devouring of a large number of bloodline masters. The many bloodline masters here may only be used as experiments for others, but it was great for Chen Heng to utilize them fully.

As for Grissom, it was a complete surprise. So Chen Heng stayed here for the rest of the time. Over at Alan’s territory, he had made arrangements before he left. He had created an avatar that could act on his behalf to a certain extent. However, of course, there would still be issues if it fought, but with Alice and Charlie’s help, the situation should not be that bad.

After resolving the worries, Chen Heng stayed in peace and used the resources here. There were not many bloodlines here, but it was not a small number either.

Moreover, new batches would be sent over every once in a while. So although Chen Heng didn’t lack resources in this place, he could make up for some of them. Hence, he just stayed here quietly with peace of mind.

Under his leadership, this prison had a new look, and the surroundings became much cleaner. In addition, Chen Heng made some modifications to this minaret, making the environment much more comfortable to a certain extent.

During this period, even the wails of prisoners had weakened, mainly because the troublemakers had disappeared, becoming Chen Heng’s experimental subjects.

Then, over half a month later, Jameson’s men came again, “Elder Jameson informed me to bring this to you.” Kana’s voice sounded.

After not seeing him for over half a month, his voice sounded much more hoarse than before, and he seemed a little tired.

“What’s wrong?” Then, looking at Kana, Chen Heng said with surprise, “It’s only been a month. How did it become like this?”

“Don’t mention it.” A bitter smile appeared on Kana’s face.
