The Growth of a Titan
Chapter 357- Precious Gifts

Chapter 357: Chapter 357- Precious Gifts

"Who are they?"

Yoon-Jae asked softly, still confused.

Altair and Quilt had their hearts jolted when Yoon-Jae turned to them and they got a better look at his face. They never thought there would be a girl this beautiful in the Eastern Region.

Even her soft voice tickled their ears despite being some distance away.

Before Mar-Dule could respond to Yoon-Jae, Altair smiled. This smile coupled with his handsome face would make most girls swoon.

Altair then said.

"Sister Yoon-Jae, my name is Altair."

Quilt shot a quick glare at Altair. Even though he couldn’t understand what was being said, he could infer from Yoon-Jae’s expression and the situation as to what was going on.

After Quilt’s glare, Altair reluctantly added.

"And this is Quilt, a live-in son-in-law of the Beorhtric Family."

Yoon-Jae was stunned upon hearing that, but he immediately understood what was happening.

"Idiot, I’m not a girl, I’m a boy."

Altair’s smiling expression froze while his entire body stiffened. It looked like he was struck by lightning as he stood there rooted to the spot with a blank expression on his face.

"What? What did she say?"

Quilt whispered when he saw Altair’s reaction.

Ignoring him, Altair stuttered.

"S-Sister Yoon-Jae, what do you mean by your words?"

Yoon-Jae frowned.

"It’s like I said, do I have to repeat myself?"

Yoon-Jae then went back to reading his book, ignoring the two. Meanwhile, Altair’s mind spun as he tried to understand what was happening.

’A boy? Not a girl? No, that can’t be, perhaps...’

Altair glanced at Yoon-Jae and realized that he was wearing male robes. His eyes immediately lit up in understanding.

’So that’s how it is, was she trying to hide her beauty since it was an inconvenience?’

Being the Crown Prince of the Elvian Race, a race that was known for their otherworldly appearance, Altair had met many Elvian girls with extraordinary looks who had this mindset, so he immediately understood the situation.

Also, if he added the shocked reactions from the crowd, they must have been shocked by his words because he had drawn attention to her when she was trying to remain low-profile.

After Altair was finished with his mental cartwheel, he smiled and said.

"So, it was like that. Forgive me Sister Yoon-Jae, as a token of my apology as well as this being our first meeting, I’d like to give this to you as a gift."

Altair suddenly waved his hand and rippling distortion appeared in space next to him. Afterward, he reached into the ripples and pulled out a white veil.

From the sparkling white specs that resemble stars covering its surface, the disciples could tell with a glance that this was no ordinary veil, but a priceless treasure!

And true to their speculation, when Altair pulled out this veil, Quilt’s pupils constricted, and he started breathing heavily before blurting out.

"You-Are you crazy?! Why are you giving away your Elvian Race’s Astral Veil?!"

Altair ignored Quilt as he smiled and flicked his hand. The veil was sent flying through the air above the disciples’ heads to stop in front of Yoon-Jae.

Yoon-Jae was just about to erupt in anger and maybe even pull down his pants, however, when his eyes landed on the veil his expression changed to one of dumbfoundment.

From the fluctuations coming from the veil, this treasure was almost on the same level as the Immortal Sword and Immortal Saber Byeong-Ho and Heon-Tae had gotten from the legacies in the Hundred Plants and Herbs Dimension.

Meaning, it was almost on par with an Immortal Grade Treasure!

Spirit Grade, Divine Gade, and Immortal Grade. These were the levels of strength for treasures and artifacts, and this veil was likely a Quasi-Immortal Grade Treasure!

Yoon-Jae couldn’t help but reach out and grab the veil to get a closer look at it.

Though his heart was feeling remorse that the treasure was a veil, he would feel too weird wearing it. However, the defensive properties it had were too astonishing. He might just wear it regardless.

Seeing that Yoon-Jae accepted his gift, Altair’s smile grew wider. Cupping his fist and bowing once more, he said.

"Sister Yoon-Jae, you don’t have to worry about not being able to activate this treasure with your Aether Energy. The magic circles engraved on it were done in such a way that it does not require the wearer to inject Mana into it to activate it. After bonding with it, you can do so with a thought."

Yoon-Jae nodded, before putting away the veil.

However, although he looked calm on the outside, inside, his heart was beating so hard it was on the verge of bursting out of his chest.

Why did he stopped receiving gifts? Thinking back to all those times he had stripped naked and lost out on those precious gifts, Yoon-Jae was feeling immense regret. It wasn’t like those times, now the gifts were of another tier entirely.

With a calm expression, Yoon-Jae suddenly turned to look at Quilt.

Upon seeing this, Quilt paused, but soon he gritted his teeth and waved his hand.

A storage ring on his finger lit up and a box appeared in his hands. Without a word, he flicked his hand and sent it flying towards Yoon-Jae.

Yoon-Jae caught it and immediately opened it, heart still racing.

Immediately, his eyes flickered in thought when he saw what was inside. Soon, Yoon-Jae closed the box and put it away before smiling a nodding at Quilt.

When Quilt saw that he sighed in his heart, but soon went back to folding his arms and looking indifferent.

Both Quilt and Altair then turned back to Sol, their expressions looking as if they had accomplished a great achievement by leaving a good impression on Yoon-Jae.

Meanwhile, everyone in the crowd silently watched this exchange play out with strange expressions on their faces. They then looked away from Yoon-Jae and glanced at Quilt and Altair, who were looking slightly smug, and their expressions became even weirder as a result.

But no one said anything. Sol also decided to keep his mouth shut.

However, amidst the crowd on the balcony, near Yoon-Jae and Mar-Dule, one inconspicuous disciple wearing black robes was looking at Quilt and Altair with a dark expression.

Grinding his teeth, this disciple growled out.

"Bastards..."

However, a bit of anxiousness appeared in this youth’s heart when he looked at Yoon-Jae and saw that he had a smile tugging at the corner of his lips as he read his book.

Clenching his fists, this black robe youth’s eyes shone with determination. It seemed he had made up his mind on doing something.

Back on the stage, Altair was in a good mood as he said to Sol.

"Since you don’t know about the Four Races on our Western Continent, why don’t I explain them briefly? If not, we can just start the battle."

Sol smiled at Altair, but secretly he was laughing in amusement in his heart.

"I’d like to hear about the Four Race first before we battle."

Altair smiled and nodded.
