Reborn: Apocalypse Ready. War Goddess by My Side novel Chapter 536

Chapter 536 Old Friends, New Enemies

Steven pushed the matter to the back of his mind.

There was no point overthinking it. For now, he needed to focus on getting stronger. Beast crystals were the least of his worries. He had more than enough to use without holding back.

First, he needed to restore the energy he had spent. After that, it would be time for another round of Be Energy Conversion.

The night passed quickly.

The Awakened Tournament was drawing near.

Competitors from over a dozen nearby mid–sized cities had already arrived in Orroux.

The academy had become livelier than ever.

At the same time, another matter was quietly spreading through military circles.

Ernie had stepped down as Commander of the Chamber of Monitors.

Many people believed it was the price he had paid to protect Alan.

The whole thing sounded absurd when people talked about it.

One son killed another son, yet the father had to sacrifice so much just to save the younger one

The story was almost unbelievable.

Many of Orroux’s powerful families treated it as a joke.

On the other side, Jennifer was furious but helpless.

Trying to force their way into Alan’s home would create too much noise.

And Alan wasn’t the only powerful person living there,

Jennifer had nowhere to vent her anger.

All she could do was wait for another opportunity.

The next morning, several unwelcome visitors arrived at the villa

Alan calmly looked at the three men standing across from him

On the left was Miles. On the right stood a man named Dexter Slaton

But the real focus was the young man in the middle

He had shoulder–length hair, perfectly groomed without a single strand out of place His clothes were spotless and neatly pressed.

He had striking features, so beautiful that others would mistake him for a woman.

At first glance, he looked more like a gorgeous man. But there was something unsettling about him Every gesture, every movement carried a chilling softness that made people uneasy.

There was a subtle softness about him, but it wasn’t weakness or affectation. It was simply part of who he

was.

Even his hands looked prettier than most girls‘.

He was Kenneth.

Captain of Team Polaris.

An SSS–rank Awakened. Level 47. A complete monster with the Abysswater ability.

Kenneth casually looked around the house before letting his eyes drift over the group stood behind Alan

‘This place hasn’t changed at all. It feels just like I remember.”

His voice was gentle, almost soft.

Yet not a single person would mistake him for being a pussy.

Everyone knew exactly what kind of man he was.

Kenneth was ruthless. His most famous battle happened years ago when he was still only a Four–S Awakened. Outside the city, he had crossed paths with a squad of God Eaters.

By himself, he slaughtered an entire Divine Knight team.

Not simply killed them. He tore them apart with his bare hands. Every last one of them.

The battle footage made its way back to the city and shocked countless people.

Among the dead was even a level 40 Divine Knight. The man hadn’t escaped. Kenneth had ripped hum apart alive.

People said he never blinked when he killed.

Alan remained silent. Kenneth smiled faintly.

“We’re old friends. Why the long face? Do I really annoy you that much”

Alan nodded. “A little.”

The smile on Kenneth’s lips deepened.

“Then stay annoyed. We were never going to be teammates anyway.

His eyes shifted toward Fiona.

“Fiona, it’s been a while.”

Fiona stiffened slightly.

She wasn’t sure what to say. The truth was, she barely knew Kenneth. They had only met a few times whe they were children.

Kenneth continued speaking without waiting for an answer.

“Your father told me you signed a lifetime contract with Ashen. I have to admit, that was disappointing to hear.

“You could’ve joined my team. If you join my team, at least I could guarantee your safety.”

Fiona shook her head. “I appreciate the offer, but I’m doing fine.”

Kenneth chuckled softly. “Fine? You don’t look that way to me.

“Alan is surrounded by trouble. You people can barely step outside this place.

“And look at the people he recruited. What kind of future does this team have?”

His eyes returned to Alan. “You really disappoint me, Alan.“,

The moment those words left Kenneth’s mouth, Peter and the others glared at him in anger

The atmosphere in the room instantly turned hostile. Tension crackled in the air.

“Damn you-”

Peter had barely gotten the words out when Kenneth’s ice–cold eyes landed on him.

In that instant, Peter felt as if he had been thrown into the depths of hell itself.

An endless chill rushed toward him. Every hair on his body stood on end. His blood seemed to treeze an his veins.

Peter’s pupils contracted sharply.

So terrifying!

The invisible pressure pressing down on him was so overwhelming that he couldn’t force out another

word.

How could a Divine General be this strong?

Alan let out a cold snort.

A wave of martial force erupted from his body, instantly shattering the suffocating pressure filling the

room.
