Chapter 44: Chapter 44: The Hailstorm Heir
Adriana, her childr, grandchildr, and Amelia soon arrived in a vibrant city adorned with traditional yet opult buildings.
The landscape featured small mountains crowned with elegant mansions, and bustling streets lined with a diverse array of shops.
The city sprawled across an impressive area of approximately three hundred and fifty square kilometers, making it the largest city under the jurisdiction of the Hailstorm Clan.
At its heart stood a colossal mansion, so grand that calling it a castle would be more apt.
The Hailstorm Clan held dominion over a total of six great cities, along with three subordinate sects and three subordinate dragon clans.
Although authority over three cities had be trusted to the subordinate sects and clans, it was crucial to remember that they remained under the Hailstorm Clan's overall control.
In this hierarchy, one could lik the three sects and three subordinate clans to lords, with the Hailstorm Clan unquestionably serving as the overlord who commanded these lords.
Adriana and her tourage gracefully descded from the sky, alighting before the mansion's formidable trance.
Alexander Hailstorm touched down behind them and accompanied them into the mansion. As they tered, all eyes in the vicinity swiveled in their direction, with particular focus on Hela, Lorraine, and Sam.
"Is that our first princess?"
"...and the second princess, too... they've returned?"
"Who's that young man with them?"
"Yeah, who is he?"
"He appears quite close to the Matriarch and the princesses."
"...now that I look closely, doesn't he bear a striking resemblance to the first princess?"
"Could he be?"
Sam paid no heed to the murmurs and speculations of those a him. He was well aware that they were trying to decipher his idtity and relationship with the Hailstorm family.
On the other hand, Hela and Lorraine gave them a curt look before dismissing their prying gazes. These people, whether servants or subordinates of the Hailstorm Clan, were accustomed to the presce of the Hailstorm family and had served them for a considerable time.
Lorraine couldn't resist asking her mother, "Do they really not know the actual reason we ran away?"
Adriana glanced at her daughter and replied, "No, they have no idea. We informed everyone that both you and your elder sister left to focus on your dao training. We couldn't possibly reveal the truth, that Hela's ex-husband had cheated on her, leading to her departure with her younger sister. We wanted to preserve the family's reputation, didn't we?"
"Right," Lorraine rolled her eyes, understanding the complex situation they had be in.
Meanwhile, Sam's atttion was drawn to a group of cultivators gathered in the distance, all seemingly in the Core Formation Realm. They appeared to be gaged in combat.
"Are they training?" Sam questioned, pointing in their direction.
Adriana couldn't help but praise her grandson, "Oh, you ssed them, huh? Your spiritual sse is impressive."
In reality, Sam's spiritual sse was far from ordinary. Having two Supreme base cultivations had elevated his spiritual sse to an almost divine level, making it exceptionally ke and unique among Core Formation cultivators. It set him apart from the rest in his realm, granting him remarkable perception.
Now, it was more appropriate to refer to it as Divine Sse.
Sam's sudd excitemt was palpable, and with a light chuckle, he propelled himself toward the area where he ssed the cultivators gaged in combat.
"Is he... Is he going to watch their training?" Adriana inquired, directing her question to her eldest daughter.
Hela shook her head and let out a sigh, "If I know my son well, he isn't merely going to watch."
Lorraine chimed in with a chuckle, "He's going to get himself into a fight."
"Really? But he just reached the Core Formation Realm. Those he's challging have be in that realm for a while now. I doubt he could win," Adriana expressed her immediate concern.
She didn't want her grandson to face humiliation. While Sam was undiably formidable with his two Supreme Base Cultivations, legdary physique, and exceptional talt, he still lacked experice.
Adriana couldn't fathom Sam defeating cultivators who had years of Core Formation Realm experice, especially since he had only just reached that realm a short time ago, ev if it was the Supreme Core Formation Realm.
"If there's one thing you should absolutely know about my son, Mother, it's that he can't be controlled. He'll do whatever he wants, and ev if he lists to someone, it won't be without strings attached," Hela explained.
"Can't be controlled, huh?" Adriana replied with a slight smile. "He's just like me. Let's follow and see what happs. I have a feeling he's going to surprise me."
Sam made a sudd trance in the middle of the training g, where cultivators were gaged in intse training. These cultivators belonged to the Froz Dragon Blade Sect, a group focused on sword cultivation. They were all proficit in the way of the sword.
As the unknown figure with red hair and blue eyes, dressed in a black hoodie, black pants, and sneakers, appeared among them, the cultivators squinted their eyes.
"Who is this person?"
"How can he just barge in here? Only cultivators from the Froz Dragon Blade Sect are allowed in these training gs."
Many of the cultivators instantly grew displeased with Sam.
They had worked hard to earn the right to train in this place, and only those who truly deserved it were allowed to ter.
While some observed Sam, they noticed the graceful dragon wings on his back, indicating he was a noble dragon.
"Who the hell do you think you are, just barging into the Hailstorm Clan's training gs?" an angry voice confronted Sam.
He saw a burly man with hair and black eyes standing in front of him. Right beside him was a woman in her early twties with milky hair and blue eyes, bearing a striking resemblance to his mother and Aunt Lorraine.
'Another person with the Froz Abyssal Dragon bloodline,' Sam thought as he observed the man. Th his gaze shifted to the woman behind him, and his eyes narrowed.
"Who the hell are you?" the man intsified his aura, attempting to intimidate Sam.
Suddly, Sam's body felt heavy, and his breathing became laborious. He gritted his teeth. "I'm Sam Flareheart."
"Flareheart?" The burly man grew thoroughly perplexed. As far as he knew, there shouldn't be anyone as young as this kid with the name Flareheart in their clan.
"Liar," the man snorted.
"Don't make me hurt you, kid. Who the hell are you, and how did you get inside our clan gs?" The burly man was other than Harper Hailstorm, the younger brother of the Hailstorm Clan's patriarch.
Right now, he felt the need to teach Sam a lesson to boost his reputation among the cultivators prest.
"Who the hell are you, kid?" Harper Hailstorm approached Sam with a macing glare.
"I'd love to see how you hurt my grandson, Harper," suddly, an incredible pressure bore down on Harper, making him feel as if a mountain had landed on his shoulders.
"M-Matriarch?" Harper's voice lost some of its confidce, no matter how arrogant he was, he couldn't act against his matriarch.
"You wanted to know who this young man is, right?" The matriarch affectionately stroked her grandson's hair, much to the annoyance of Sophia, Hela, and Lorraine.
"This is my grandson, the son of my daughter, Hela, the heir to the Hailstorm Clan... You better watch how you interact with him. I won't tolerate anyone disrespecting him, at least not on my watch," Adriana declared with cold authority.
"S-Son of the first princess?" Harper couldn't believe his eyes or ears, and he squinted in suspicion.
Th, Harper noticed the wom who were behind the matriarch. "The first princess and the second princess... You're back."
Hela and Lorraine remained silt in response to Harper. Their gaze shifted towards a woman standing near him. "Ava..."
Ava Hailstorm, the youngest daughter of Adriana Hailstorm, stood there. However, she didn't pay much atttion to her sisters. Her eyes were fixed on Sam. 'So, he's my nephew? He's so handsome.'
"Ava, we've missed you terribly. We're so sorry we left you," Hela apologized, catching Ava's atttion. Hela couldn't help but notice the intse look her youngest sister had on her son, Sam.
'Please don't you also fall for my son, Ava. I don't know if I can handle both my little sisters sharing the same husband, who is also my son, and... I hav't figured out my feelings yet,' Hela thought to herself, observing the expression on her youngest sister's face.
