Chapter 326: Do I Have A Son? (Part 1)

Was Amalia using the Stormforge Crystal Vein to divert their attention, pretending not to complete the task, and tricking them into leaving the Cinders Herbage and Brimstone area, only to come back for it on the last day?

Was that what was happening?

...

Exiting the Disaster Zone, Amalia glanced back at the crowd who still arguing with the Rodriguez family and then at the young woman who led the confrontation.

She sent a message to Zanilia Zhao.

If it weren’t for Rafael Rodriguez’s words, she wouldn’t have known that this young woman was actually a relative of the Zhao family.

This murky situation was bound to get even murkier.

The Zhao family.

Zanilia Zhao was talking to her father when she noticed the message that had just arrived on her communicator, and she couldn’t help but be surprised.

"What’s wrong?" the head of the Zhao family noticed her daughter’s reaction.

Zanilia Zhao replied, "Amalia just messaged me. It’s the first time I’ve received a message from her."

The head of the Zhao family nodded, "Well, take a look. Maybe she has something important to discuss with you. She’s not the same as before. I’ve heard she’s capable of refining a spiritual artifacts now. Her skills in artifact refining are not inferior to Yesemia Yoder’s. It’s said that she can even repair severed limbs.

With these two skills, plus Heavenly Path University, the military, and the Lin family all supporting her, her future prospects are limitless. If you can make friends with her, do so, and try not to offend her. If there’s anything you can do to help, do it."

After reading the message, Zanilia Zhao smiled wryly, "She’s not asking for our help. It seems we might have owe her a favor instead."

The head of the Zhao family looked surprised.

...

Amalia returned to school and went directly to the Business Department to submit the half-ton Stormforge Crystal for her additional task to Instructor Waldo.

"Just in time, have you completed the task?" Instructor Waldo, being the one in charge for the handover task, already knew about her task to skipping to the next grade.

Amalia then handing him over the Stormforge Crystal to him.

Instructor Waldo looked at the additional data she submitted, "You actually went to the Sour Lemon City Disaster Zone to mine Stormforge Crystal? That area is practically part of the Rodriguez family’s territory."

Amalia nodded her head.

"I happened to be participating in the Rodriguez family’s trial."

Instructor Waldo paused for a moment, "But you surname was not Rodriguez, so why you participate..."

He suddenly stopped his sentence.

He remembered something.

The Rodriguez family like to annually selects a suitable individuals to undergo trials in the disaster zone.

They would identify outstanding talents in the branch family and send them to the main family for further ’training’.

In fact, It was not just a mere trial or training; but, it was a test of life and death.

Similar to the Yoder family’s method, it was a survival of the fittest.

However, the Rodriguez family’s trial was even more perilous.

One wrong move could cost a person life.

There’s no junior member in the Rodriguez family who was not afraid of death, so sometimes these branches would find relatives to substitute for their own children.

Amalia was a relative of the Rodriguez family.

Her participation in the Rodriguez family’s trial was clearly forced upon her by the Rodriguez family.

"These prominent families are truly ruthless," Instructor Waldo sighed.

Amalia remained noncommittal.

Instructor Waldo chuckled again, "However, being able to mine so much Stormforge Crystal on the Rodriguez family’s territory is quite impressive. Once the task verification is complete, I will notify you."

"Thank you, Instructor Waldo. I’ll take my leave now."

"Wait," Instructor Waldo called her back, "the final exam results have been released. Don’t forget to check them."

The school results were always released quickly.

Amalia left the school immediately after finishing the exam, so she hadn’t seen them yet.

But, she had a group of enthusiastic classmates who like to informed her about all the things that happend in the school.

After she left the Sour Lemon City Disaster Zone, and sent a message to Zanilia Zhao, she found out that many people had sent her congratulatory messages through her communicator.

There’s messages from Javier Hermandez, Mighel Zepeda, Xylia Lazaro, that congratulating her on taking the top spot in each subject.

Amalia thanked Instructor Waldo once again for his kindness.

Amalia’s grades had met the requirements, and now it was only the review of the Stormforge Crystal left.

Once the review was done, more than a month later when school resumed, she could directly report to the third grade.

This information was only known by a few school’s leaders in the Heavenly Path University and other people were unaware about it.

Returning to the villa, as soon as she closed the door, the Lumina Scale Komodo wriggled out from her embrace and darted into the kitchen.

In no time, it pushed out the bowl it usually ate from, then, with a remarkably human-like gesture, it rubbed its two claws together, and looking at Amalia with an endearing expression.

Amalia couldn’t help but laugh and cry.

It seemed the little creature had been thinking about those spirit stones all along.

No wonder it had been so quiet all this time.

It’s seems the Lumina Scale Komodo was afraid that if it making noise Amalia wouldn’t give it any spirit stones to eat.

After a moment’s thought, she took out a piece of spirit stone.

This particular piece of spirit stone still had quite a few impurities, some adhered to the surface while others had already penetrated inside.

"There are indeed many impurities in these spirit stones. If you absorb them like this, will the impurities accumulate more and more inside you?" Amalia felt a little bit worried.

The Lumina Scale Komodo, however, didn’t think so much.

Seeing Amalia holding the spirit stone but not giving them to it, it impulsively pounced at her, and clamping its teeth onto the spirit stone in her hand.
