As he concentrated further, Nyx began to perceive faint traces of ancient symbols etched onto the surface of the cube.
These symbols confirmed his suspicions. This was the work of someone using their Divine Ability.
On earth, he only knew of two people who could use this. One was him, while the other was his father... He was sure that this wasn't created by his father, which was why
The cube was no ordinary object; it held a unique energy signature, one that Nyx instinctively recognized but couldn't fully comprehend. It was quite similar to his, yet quite different.
"Oh right, while I have you on the call, what's for dinner tonight?" he asked his mother, while opening the door of his car.
"Ah..." Hearing his mother's response, he smiled wryly. However, he didn't express his true thoughts.
"Good. I'm so hungry already. Wait for me..."
Sitting in the car, he closed the door and started the engine.
"Well, Mother, I've got to go now since I'll be driving. Yes, I promise to be careful. Love you too. Goodbye," Nyx said, ending the call with a smile.
As he hung up, Nyx turned his attention back to the mysterious cube. It was in his hand, still emanating faint traces of its fiery aura.
There was something about this object that intrigued him, and he knew he had to investigate further. However, he knew that he couldn't do that right now. He had to get back home, if he didn't want to anger his mother more. He placed the cube on the passenger seat.
His car raced through the empty streets. The city lights illuminated the night as Nyx navigated the familiar roads, his mind preoccupied with thoughts of the enigmatic cube.
As he pulled into his driveway, he hastily stepped out of the car, forgetting the cube inside. He entered the luxurious mansion that was recognized by almost everyone.
This was the most expensive mansion in the entire world, and belonged to the richest man on earth, who owned the company known as the Divine Corporation, which was the leader in almost every significant industry.
There was not a single person in this world who didn't know the name of this mansion's owner.
The Guards respectfully greeted Nyx who dashed inside the mansion in a hurry. However, even in such a hurry, he didn't forget to greet the guards back.
Nyx made his way through the grand halls that had opulent decor and luxurious furnishings that adorned every room.
The mansion seemed to go on forever, with its array of exquisite paintings, extravagant chandeliers, and sprawling gardens. It was a testament to the immense wealth and success of the family.
Still, Nyx kept cursing in his mind just how big this mansion was. He was already running late after all.
Finally, he reached the dining hall. Right at the entrance, he slowed down. He took a deep breath, not wanting to show that he was so late that he had to run.
Unlike his hurried visage from before, he was completely calm as she stepped inside the Mansion.
Inside the dining hall, there was a large dining table, which could accommodate over thirty people simultaneously. However, at the moment, only 7 people were sitting around the dining table.
In the main seat was the owner of the House known by everyone as Ryder Flynn, the man who changed the fate of earth. Although Ryder was in his 40s, he still looked like he was only in his late twenties, having slow aging.
Next to Ryder, a chubby man was sitting, looking to be in his early forties. He was the owner of Dream Corporation. He was Ryder's friend from his early years, but he was also one of the richest men, albeit not close to Ryder's level.
"Uncle Shu is here as well?" Nyx smiled wryly, scratching the back of his head. He finally understood why his mother was telling him to hurry. It was because guests were going to be here.
"Only you were late, my dear brother," Nyx's sister taunted her brother, who was merely a year younger than her. "You've been quite busy lately. Don't tell me you got a new girlfriend that we don't know about?"
"If only," Nyx rolled his eyes as he took his place at the dining table, exchanging nods and polite greetings with the others present.
"Sorry for being late. Traffic was terrible," Nyx offered a causal explanation.
ƥandasnovel·ƈom Ryder chuckled, his warm, charismatic smile lighting up the room. "No worries. You're here now, and that's what matters."
The meal commenced, and the conversations flowed naturally. They discussed business, upcoming projects, and the latest advancements in technology.
Nyx, however, found it challenging to focus on the discussions fully. His mind kept drifting back to the mysterious cube he found earlier. He wanted to talk to his father about it right away, but he didn't want to ruin the mood as it wasn't often that the two feelings came together.
"Is something troubling you?"
Nyx's expressions didn't escape Ryder's observation. He could see that his son was lost in some thought, as if there was something he was hesitating about.
Nyx hesitated for a moment, contemplating whether or not to share his discovery with his father. Finally, he decided to open up and said, "Actually, Dad, when I was coming back, I came across something. I found something I can't stop thinking about... I'm not sure what it is, but it feels familiar."
"It has traces of Divine Energy..." Nyx further stated. He didn't have to hide it. Shu and his family already knew about the secret of Ryder and his family after all.
"Hmm?" Ryder frowned, hearing the response. "Show me."
Nyx nodded, as he was about to show his father. However, his expressions went blank. He realized that he left it behind.
He stood up and rushed outside. "I left it in the car."
Even though he could use his abilities to simply teleport that item here, he was under his father's strict orders. He couldn't use his abilities for things that could be done without it, or unless it was absolutely necessary.
