Tiberius Li Julius

Knock… knock… knock…

The sound of Tiberius Julius's bedroom door being knocked from outside echoed.

"Who is it?" Tiberius Julius asked with a firm voice.

The one knocking on the door was a servant in the Tiberius family's house. The man was surprised to hear Tiberius Julius's commanding tone, as it was uncommon for the young man to speak like that. Normally, he uttered words that sounded uninspired.

"It seems the young master is awake. The family leader is calling for you to meet him in the meeting hall. The young master some uncles are already gathered there," the servant conveyed to Tiberius Julius.

"All right, Uncle Miller! I'll be there shortly to meet them," Tiberius Julius replied from inside the room.

Tiberius Julius's personal servant, Miller, furrowed his brow at his young master's behavior. It was unusual for him to be addressed as "uncle" by the young man. Typically, the man in his forties, used coarse terms when referring to people, almost treating them like animals. But this was the first time he had been called by his own name.

With a puzzled expression and a somewhat pleased feeling, Miller left Tiberius Julius's room. Meanwhile, Tiberius Julius was washing himself inside the room, using the provided bath. After he tidied up and put on his clothes, the young man headed from his room to the meeting hall. There, he saw many family members gathered.

"Respects to the leader and uncles!" Tiberius Julius exclaimed, bowing to the elders present.

Tiberius Julius's actions puzzled the elders and even the family leader a bit. It was unlike him to behave politely as he had just demonstrated. Usually, during family meetings, he acted according to his whims. Nevertheless, no one from the family, not even the leader, took any action to reprimand him. The Tiberius family's only hope was in him, and they didn't want Tiberius Julius to run away and bring shame to the family.

"How are you, Julius?" the family leader, Tiberius Achilles, asked his grandson.

"I'm getting better," Julius replied briefly.

"Very well, then sit next to me here," Tiberius Achilles, the family leader, said, patting the empty chair beside him.

Julius complied with his grandfather's suggestion. He walked towards the chair next to the family leader and took a seat, observing his surroundings while adjusting the knowledge and memories in his head.

Fundamentally, Tiberius Julius's condition was more like that of a Light God in terms of soul and memory. Only his physical body belonged entirely to Tiberius Julius. Thus, it could be said that Tiberius Julius was currently a Light God reincarnated in his own body. However, this reincarnation was not in the process of birth but rather a resurrection from death. That's why Tiberius Julius had to make many adjustments because he was, essentially, a reincarnated Light God.

"Listen, all of you! Our battle with the Starfall family will take place in a month. Considering our current situation, it seems the leadership of the city will be handed over to them. This is because on our side, both the older and younger generations who will represent the family in the fight lack the high abilities to face them. So, I have decided that instead of being embarrassed in the fight, it's better to directly hand over the power to them, stating that we feel we have led the city for too long and want to take turns with them," Tiberius Achilles announced.

"Leader, I disagree!"

Upon hearing Tiberius Achilles's statement, the entire Tiberius family erupted in commotion. Many among them disagreed with the decision made by their elder. Even Maxlin immediately expressed his disagreement, standing up from his seat in protest against the decision made by his family's leader.

"Do you have a solution, Maxlin? Do you have a way to prevent our family from being disgraced in public later? In the older generation, I am the only one who has reached the seventh level of the heavenly spiritual realm, but as the family leader, I cannot directly intervene as a fighter. Meanwhile, in the younger generation, there is no one we can rely on. All your children are girls, except for Tiberius Williams Lee's son, this Tiberius Julius. But you know well enough about his abilities, don't you?" Tiberius Achilles snapped, appearing increasingly angry.

The leader of the Tiberius family was genuinely angry at the children and nephews who protested against his decision. While his own siblings from the older generation dared not utter a word. Indeed, the situation facing the Tiberius family was genuinely serious. If they forced themselves into the battle, it was certain that they would be defeated soundly. Such an event would undoubtedly become the talk of the town, tarnishing their once great reputation.

Everyone fell silent upon hearing Tiberius Achilles's angry words. For now, none of them had a solution to the problem their family was facing. They acknowledged what the family leader had said – that their family had currently lost its talented individuals. Even the one person expected to be the successor to the Tiberius family had disappeared without a trace.

That person was Tiberius Williams Lee, the biological father of Tiberius Julius. Among the Tiberius family, he was the only one who had reached the ninth level of the heavenly spiritual realm. However, for ten years, there had been no news of Tiberius Julius's father; he seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth. He disappeared after the murder of his wife by an unknown assailant, and the identity of the perpetrator remained unknown to this day. Many speculated that Tiberius Williams Lee was seeking the murderer of his wife.

"If you insist, I'll give you a chance three weeks from now to find the best solution for our family. If, within three weeks, you still haven't found a way, then you must abide by all my decisions," Tiberius Achilles concluded the discussion.

Then, the leader of the Tiberius family instructed Tiberius Julius to follow him to the back of the main house. Without many questions, Julius followed his grandfather's command. He didn't know what his family leader wanted to discuss, but he continued to follow the footsteps of the elder towards the backyard. Once there, Tiberius Achilles immediately took a seat in a garden chair, while Julius knelt in front of him.
