My Celestial Ascension Chapter 1056: Mr. Drake

Patricia stared at Kitsura’s beautiful fox-like ears, which twitched slightly, and her nine long, fluffy tails as they swayed gracefully behind her.

’So beautiful... She looks like a goddess! And those ears and tails... I want to touch them.’

She gazed at Kitsura in a daze, swallowing nervously as she admired her enchanting appearance.

Unable to resist her curiosity any longer, Patricia stood up from the sofa and approached Kitsura with a mysterious smile. Without giving her any warning, she reached out and grabbed one of her fluffy tails.

"Kyaa!!"

Kitsura nearly jumped out of her seat in surprise.

"So soft...!"

Patricia mumbled as she practically buried her face in the fluffy tails, hugging them with pure bliss.

"This feels so nice... I could fall asleep holding them..."

"Umm... If you’re done touching my tails, could you please let them go? They’re quite sensitive," Kitsura said, her face turning bright red as she felt her body growing warm.

"Huh? Oops! Sorry about that, hehe~"

Patricia immediately released her tails, her own face turning red with embarrassment.

"It’s alright. I can understand the curiosity of someone who has never seen a being like me before."

Kitsura smiled gently before returning to her seat.

Then, Mireya, Sylvia, Emma, Nyx, Nerith, Vrasha, Isolde, Lilith, Selvariel, Xi Meili, and Long Yuyan also removed their disguises, revealing their true appearances to Patricia.

Patricia’s gaze immediately landed on Sylvia, and she stared at her in a daze.

Sylvia’s dark skin contrasted beautifully with her stunning silver eyes and long, elegant elven ears. Furthermore, her flowing silver hair gave her an extraordinary charm, making her look as though she had stepped straight out of a fantasy world.

Her eyes then wandered toward the others, taking in their distinctive features one after another. Her eyes remained wide open as she struggled to process the incredible sight before her.

"T-This is insane..."

She muttered in disbelief before turning toward Yuan.

"You have an Angel, a Demon, a Succubus, and a Vampire as your wives?! This is absolutely absurd and unbelievable!"

She exclaimed, still struggling to accept their identities.

"Well, they’re standing right in front of you, aren’t they?"

Yuan let out a soft chuckle as he watched her shocked expression.

"T-This is crazy and awesome at the same time... I never thought demons and angels actually existed. But now, my eyes have been opened!"

"Sorry to disappoint you, but Nerith isn’t the kind of demon you’re imagining. The same goes for Selvariel," Yuan explained.

He then proceeded to clarify why the two of them weren’t the same kind of demon and angel that Patricia had imagined, clearing up her misunderstanding.

"So, they’re not the kind of demons and angels we know from our stories. That makes sense now, since I don’t feel anything strange or unsettling from her..."

Patricia nodded thoughtfully while looking at Nerith.

"You humans always make assumptions whenever you encounter something different or unfamiliar. But I suppose that’s understandable, considering this world doesn’t have creatures like us."

Nerith let out a soft sigh before smiling at Patricia.

"I’m sorry for the misunderstanding, Nerith," Patricia quickly apologized, lowering her head slightly.

"It’s fine. You don’t need to apologize. We’re friends, after all."

Nerith smiled and nodded reassuringly.

Shortly afterward, they heard Anna Grace calling out from the dining room, announcing that dinner was ready.

Dinner turned out to be wonderful. Patricia thoroughly enjoyed every dish Anna Grace had prepared and was genuinely amazed by her cooking skills.

After dinner, Emma escorted Patricia to her room. Patricia was quite pleased with the room that had been prepared for her.

"Good night, Patricia," Emma said before leaving her alone.

Once she was alone, Patricia changed into a nightgown from the wardrobe and sat on the edge of the bed, releasing a long sigh.

Her mind wandered back to everything that had happened that day. Even now, she was struggling to believe that she had witnessed hundreds of men losing their lives right before her eyes.

"It all feels so unreal... He killed so many people today, and yet, for some reason, I can’t seem to hate him..."

She murmured softly before lying down on the bed.

’Furthermore, to think that Anna Grace and the others aren’t even from this world... And some of them aren’t even human. This is all too unreal!’

Patricia shook her head slightly, still finding it difficult to process everything she had learned.

"Well, I should get some sleep now. I have a lot of work to do tomorrow."

She mumbled softly before closing her eyes.

Meanwhile, Marcus was lying on his bed, playing video games on his console when his father walked into the room.

"Marcus, stop playing video games and get ready," Matthew said sternly, startling his son.

"Get ready for what?" Marcus asked, looking at his father with a puzzled expression.

"An important guest is coming to our house today. I want you to behave yourself in front of him," Matthew instructed. "And remember, no matter what happens, we must not offend this person. Otherwise, our entire family could be ruined."

"Dad, who’s coming? Why are you being so mysterious about it?"

"It’s the Martial Arts Master I told you about. He’ll be helping us kill that bastard. So, I don’t want you to mess this up."

Marcus’s eyes widened in surprise when his father mentioned the Martial Arts Master. He immediately got out of bed.

’I don’t believe in some fraud claiming to be a Martial Arts Master. But... as long as he can kill that bastard, I suppose I can put up with his antics.’

"I understand, Dad. You can leave now. I’ll take a shower."

"Alright. Be quick. He could arrive at any moment."

Matthew nodded and immediately left the room.

Once his father was gone, Marcus turned off his gaming console and let out a deep sigh.

"I can’t believe Dad still believes in that crap... He’s such an idiot."

He shook his head in frustration.

"Unfortunately, I can’t afford to make another mistake. I’ll just have to put up with this for a while until that fraud leaves."

With another sigh, Marcus headed into the bathroom to take a quick shower.

Some time later, their guest finally arrived.

The visitor was a lean man dressed entirely in black. He wore a pair of black glasses and a hat, giving him a rather mysterious appearance.

"Mr. Drake, welcome to my humble home. Please, have a seat."

Matthew immediately bowed his head and welcomed the man respectfully.

Following his father’s instructions, Marcus also bowed his head to show respect to their mysterious guest.

"Not bad. Not bad at all. You have a fine son, Matthew."

Mr. Drake nodded approvingly with a smile before taking a seat.

He then turned toward Matthew and asked, "So, what seems to be troubling you? Is it something related to martial arts?"

"Exactly as you suspected."

Matthew sighed before opening a video on his tablet.

"Please take a look at this footage, Mr. Drake."

He handed the tablet to the visitor.

Drake watched the video with narrowed eyes. However, even after replaying the footage several times, he couldn’t quite understand what was happening.

"Hmmm... I see. However, I can’t determine much from this footage alone. I’ll need to examine him with my own eyes to figure out whether he’s truly a martial artist or something else entirely."

He spoke thoughtfully, releasing a long sigh.

From the footage alone, he was certain that Yuan wasn’t an ordinary person. However, he couldn’t quite identify what made Yuan so unusual, and that only served to deepen his curiosity.

’Could he be one of them? One of those legendary beings?’

He wondered inwardly, his curiosity about Yuan growing considerably.

Meanwhile, Matthew and Marcus exchanged puzzled glances before turning their attention back to Mr. Drake.

"W-What do you mean by that, Mr. Drake? Are you saying you can’t deal with him?"

Matthew asked, his voice trembling slightly.

"I never said I couldn’t take him down. I was simply saying that he might be something entirely different from an ordinary martial artist," Mr. Drake replied calmly.

He then continued explaining his observations.

"From what I can see in the footage, he didn’t move an inch from his original position, yet he managed to injure three young men so severely. That’s certainly not normal."

"If he had actually moved at an incredible speed, as you suspected, there should have been some visible indication of his movements when we slowed down the footage."

Both father and son looked at Mr. Drake with puzzled expressions, waiting for him to elaborate.

Mr. Drake continued, "For example, when we slow down a video, we should be able to see a person’s movements, even if they’re nothing more than a blur. However, this young man doesn’t move at all."

"He simply stands there, perfectly still, and yet those three young men end up severely injured. There’s definitely more to him than meets the eye."

"You’re right. We didn’t see him move at all. It’s almost as though some invisible force suddenly injured my son’s three close friends."

Matthew nodded thoughtfully, agreeing with Mr. Drake’s observation.

"Uh, I just remembered something!"

Marcus suddenly raised his hand and interrupted their conversation.

"Oh? You have something to add? Go ahead. I’m listening."

Mr. Drake raised an eyebrow and turned toward Marcus.

Marcus took a deep breath before speaking.

"Well, he attracted my attention a couple of days ago. And if I remember correctly, he literally fell out of the sky and landed on my car, completely destroying it."

"Furthermore, he ripped the car doors off as though they were made of paper. His strength was monstrous! There’s no way an ordinary human could possess that kind of strength!"
