Chapter 152 A Power Unlike Any Other

Tylissa’s figure was delicate, almost fragile. Compared to the tough, power–driven girls who had recently stolen everyone’s attention, she seemed almost ethereal–like a refined, gentle beauty lifted from a painting.

Every gesture she made, every pose she struck, had been practiced countless times to ensure she looked impeccable.

“Gentlemen, are you all taking a break over here? Not feeling like dancing?” Tylissa’s voice cut through the space suddenly.

–

Her words came out of the blue. The men shot her a quick glance before hastily averting their eyes.

Ryan’s expression was unmistakable–irritation written all over. Of course he recognized her a perennial figure on the trending charts all year round, granddaughter of the Head of State, the Clark Family’s cherished daughter–Tylissa.

Beyond her status, her tone sounded innocuous, yet after over a decade navigating showbiz, Ryan detected that familiar hint of fake–sweet demeanor.

No one responded. Tylissa felt her cheeks heat up crimson.

Laurent rose. “We’re heading out. Ms. Clark, you can have some space to rest.”

The moment he spoke, the others followed him without a word. From start to finish, Tylissa received no further acknowledgment.

Watching their retreating backs, Tylissa gripped her skirt tighter. She flipped open her control panel to check their favorability ratings again. Everyone else remained unchanged–only Ryan had plummeted to negative 30.

Her patience was wearing thin. She had no idea what she’d done to provoke him. These men were infuriating. She even suspected the system might be issuing faulty quests. But the promise of rich rewards from the side mission forced her to swallow the curses clawing at her throat.

For the prize, she would endure. The day these men bowed before her, she’d ensure they learned exactly how to respect a lady.

In the second–floor reception room, Jonathan took his seat at the head and got straight to the matter. “Ava informed me that Mr. Jones is willing to take her on as an apprentice. Ms. Severn, I appreciate you coming in person. Should the Morren family ever be of help, you have my word–we will offer everything we can.”

He glanced at Ava and gestured. She immediately moved to his side.

Turning to Ysabel, Jonathan continued, “Ava once wandered the streets with my younger brother. Before he passed, the one he worried about most was her. He begged me to look after her. Now that fate has favored her, I can leave this world someday knowing I fulfilled that promise.

“I will be entrusting her to you from here on. Ms. Severn, with you and Mr. Jones guiding her, I’m confident Ava will develop rapidly.”

Jonathan’s voice rang out clearly. “Ava, do you believe in yourself?”

“Yes! I am honored by Ms. Severn’s recognition. I hope one day to be as capable and extraordinary as her.” Ava’s eyes were unwavering, her tone confident, without a trace of shyness.

Ysabel allowed herself a small smile. Seeing Jonathan humble himself in this way made it clear that the Morren family valued this granddaughter brought home mid–life.

“Mr. Morren, you are too kind. Ava is the first female elemental power user to awaken in ten thousand years. Out of curiosity, I decided to drop by unannounced at her coming–of–age party. I hope you don’t mind.”

Jonathan waved it off, a faint smile appearing. “It’s just a coming–of–age event. I’m certain her matches won’t

take offense.”

Ysabel’s smile widened, her eyes glittering with curiosity. “Then, Ava, would you show me your ability?”

Ava extended her palm. A small sapling, glowing with soft green light, appeared as if just awakening. Its slender stem twisted gently, two leaves cradling her fingers, and the tiny form nestled against her thumb, nuzzling lightly.

Surprise spread across Ysabel’s face. She stared, captivated. “This little thing in your hand seems alive, almost as if it has its own mind.”

Her gaze sparked with intense curiosity. “Ava, your wood elemental power is unlike any I’ve seen.”

Ysabel felt a surge of triumph. She was glad she had acted quickly and decisively. After Dylan and Elena’s visits, she had resolved that she needed to see this girl firsthand.

“Ava, would you allow me to conduct a complete, systematic study of your wood elemental power later? I promise it won’t affect your health in the slightest.” Her researcher’s instincts were already racing–she could see a new project taking shape.

“All findings will remain strictly confidential. Nothing will be disclosed, and anything unnecessary will be excluded. Is that acceptable, Ava?”

Hearing this, Ava’s curiosity deepened–she wanted to understand what made her power different from other wood elemental users.
