Hu Lieyuan stepped into the palace that had once been his home, but after turning into an adult he had to leave.
The towering gates opened soundlessly, revealing a world of brilliance. The palace was high tech yet ancient, its glowing walls embedded with rare stones that shimmered in his eyes.
Streams of energy flowed beneath transparent floors like rivers of stars. Everything was grand and expensive.
And everything would one day be his.
He walked forward calmly, though his heart pounded with ambition. Servants bowed as he passed. None dared to meet his eyes.
He was led into the main hall.
At the end of the vast chamber stood the throne, a seat carved from pure crystal and embedded with countless gems. It shimmered under the light, majestic and untouchable.
Hu Lieyuan's eyes swept across the hall. His greedy gaze lingered on the throne.
For a moment, his pupils almost trembled with desire. The gems, the power, the authority, it was all within reach.
