Author’s note: at the beginning to see if you read this, I have two warnings, the first one my translator cuts, so if it’s very different let me know and the bonus chapters are 150 stones
"Kayden, wait a second, let’s talk a bit," Juno called out to the boy like someone watching a treasure slip away.
"Of course, Master Juno," Kayden had already made his presence known; he no longer needed to be rude or mistreat these people.
In the next few minutes, Juno asked Kayden dozens of questions, ranging from his fighting style to how he developed his path. Naturally, Kayden evaded most of the questions.
"I’m not a swordsman; it’s just a hobby," Kayden said honestly, and he saw the shock and disbelief in everyone’s eyes. Despite their attempts to hide it, it was obvious that all attention was on the two of them.
"What are you, then?" Juno couldn’t hold back, and Kayden just smiled without any emotion.
"Now that I’ve answered your questions and helped where I could, it’s time for you to help me a little," Kayden hadn’t planned this, but since he was there, there was no harm in following through with an old plan.
"Of course, Kayden, what do you need?" Juno immediately offered. Kayden gave him some valuable hints.
"Kill my father and transfer my family’s ownership to me. Do it openly and find some excuse that he violated imperial laws." Kayden’s words made the five look at him.
Before they thought they were in the presence of a child with great talent, at that moment, they realized they were facing a true monster without any feelings. Not only that but a cunning and ambitious monster.
"Sure, do you want me to do it now?" Kayden nodded, and the two were teleported to Keiren.
In the family’s tent, a few slaves were serving delicious food for the level of wealth this family had, but that was expected, considering Keiren was intoxicated with alcohol and even more with pride. The presence of Juno and Kayden caused everything to come to a halt; everyone there recognized Juno and knew the power he represented. Keiren was the first to kneel and wait quietly for the mage’s words.
Unfortunately for him, there were no words. Juno made a cutting motion with his fingers, and Keiren’s head rolled off. It was so quick that not even a mage there managed to blink before it was all over.
"Keiren Harner destroyed his honor by using forbidden practices. Fortunately, the Harner family received the birth of Kayden Harner, and from today on, he is the supreme ruler of this family," Juno’s voice echoed all around.
The surrounding families already understood everything that was happening; it was just a common power shift among noble families. The strange part was that Kayden was only a ten-year-old boy.
"Kayden, choose a new name for this family and abandon the disgrace caused by your father." This part was something Kayden hadn’t expected, but the answer came to him in a flash.
"The Heart family greets the imperial messenger." It had been billions of years since Kayden had died; no one remembered him at this point, or so he thought.
In a way, it was the pride of a monarch. Kayden would carry his name to the grave; he was at a level of power where he could support his pride. He just needed some time to surpass everyone.
"The emperor wishes success to the Heart family," Juno disappeared, leaving Kayden to deal with the aftermath.
"Take his body and give it a proper burial within the family’s domain." Kayden’s voice snapped everyone out of the shock of the situation. "Mother, the family is yours; do whatever you want with it. This is my gift to you, who gave me life and endured so many years of mistreatment," Kayden’s voice once again caused a stir.
The situation was simply unbelievable; nothing made sense about what was happening. In an instant, the family’s greatest pillar was killed, and the one who took over was a ten-year-old boy who was killed without any mercy.
Even though Keiren was the patriarch, no one liked him. It was just a facade to avoid abuse or even death. At the beginning of the marriage, there was still love, but after so many years, it all vanished.
"I greet the Matriarch." Kayden’s brother was the first to follow the example. If anyone hated Keiren, it was him. At that moment, he swore eternal loyalty to his brother, no matter what happened.
The voices of the others began to join in, and within seconds, everything was reorganized. Luana gained authority that did not match her strength; many family mages were stronger than her, but not even a madman would dare to try anything at that moment.
"Mother, I know this is sudden, but right now you need to rethink your mindset. In a few minutes, dozens of extremely powerful families will enter this tent. Greet them with grace and don’t accept disrespect even from a prince." Kayden gave instructions to each person there.
"Matheus, Mother doesn’t have the will or spirit of a warrior; that role is yours. Grow strong enough to protect her and the family’s name in the future," Kayden’s words caught his brother by surprise.
"Are you leaving?" Things were changing too fast.
"I will probably disappear within a few decades," Kayden said without any emotion. After finishing his advice, he left the tent.
Kayden was assaulted by thousands of spiritual senses the second he stepped outside the tent. While most expected to see a boy afraid of the attention, Kayden didn’t even flinch.
"Only high-level families from high-level cities enter the tent with their proposals; the rest have no place in this conversation," Kayden’s voice came out emotionless, but it seemed laden with arrogance.
Everyone there had to swallow their words because they had seen none other than Juno appear in that tent and give Kayden control of this family. After that proclamation, Kayden simply floated towards the emperor.

Before he could fly more than a few meters, he was pulled through space back to the five. Without saying anything, he sat down and began studying his base and body. He didn’t have much else to do at that moment.
"Kayden, can you deal with some teenagers and children without trying to kill them all?" The emperor asked after a few minutes.
