Obtaining 10x rewards! Reincarnated into a novel as a side-character!

The elder visibly calmed down as he heard the boy\'s words.

It seemed he had been too impatient and misjudged the boy earlier.

"By the way, elder, I was curious about something…" he looked the elder in the eyes, "…did mother agree to this as well?"

The elder narrowed his eyes when he mentioned the word \'mother\'.

"Of course, Mistress Ophelia gave us permission. That\'s why I said this was a big honor to be a part of this."

The boy nodded with a solemn expression and asked, "What preparations do I need to make?"

"Nothing for now. We will tell you the date when we will be leaving. The first meeting will be a brief introduction between you kids to familiarize yourselves with each other and gain an understanding of your rivals."

"You will be trained personally by professionals… Establish the dominance of the clan. Miss Nadia has already been informed. You only need to support her and help her establish the clan\'s dominance."

He informed the kid, who calmly nodded.

"Then I\'ll be waiting for the day."

With that, the boy was left alone.

After the elder left, he could not help but laugh to himself.

"Finally, I can leave this clan for once, hahaha!"

The boy was naturally none other than Oliver.

_____________

After taking a comforting bath in his private pool, he quickly dressed up.

He wore a designer kimono specifically tailored for him. It was black in color—a contrast to his silver hair.

Not only that, but these clothes were quite expensive as they were made of rare materials. After all, he was supposed to meet others from the five great clans that had been there since the Mystic Purge Clan was founded.

The clothes he wore even had a special property to remain fragrant.

He came out of his courtyard and looked at the fat cat lying inside after eating two servings of large meals. He sighed; this cat was so lazy.

She seemed to be getting fat slowly, as he had expected.

He could not help but wonder about the program that the elder had mentioned to him.

There was no such program or details about training in such a way in the novel. He wondered if it was a behind-the-scenes thing but discarded that notion too.

He felt suspicious of this fat cat in front of him too. How come his name was selected out of all of his siblings?

Surely, it couldn\'t be due to the fact that they were twins that they were selected.

\'If I remember correctly, the first pair of siblings should be in the institute right now, so it\'s understandable that they weren\'t selected.\'

Oliver shook his head. He threw one last glance toward the lazy cat. He might be thinking too much in the end.

How could this fat cat be behind his name getting selected?

She should be smart enough not to repeat herself after the last incident, no?

He nodded to himself as he looked at the cat who woke up from her sleep and looked at him with lazy eyes.

She waved her paw at him as if saying goodbye.

"…"

Oliver ignored her and left toward the exit of his courtyard, where his personal maid in uniform was standing.

Behind her was a car, a modern invention of this world, mainly used for transportation.

The car had a sleek and aerodynamic shape with an organic, almost living appearance. The design on the car was carefully made as well.

The car had an intricate lattice of vines and leaves etched on its surface that glowed from time to time, suggesting its connection to natural elements.

It had four large crystalline wheels. These wheels glowed with a soft light and could adapt their shape to provide optimal traction on any terrain.

The engine was nothing but a core powered using fire-attributed espera, ensuring great speed and a smooth experience.

He could not help but take a deep breath as he gazed at the luxurious car. He knew from a glance that it was far better than those ordinary cars used in normal human cities.

This car definitely showed the wealth and power of one of the five great clans. He knew that it must belong to the elder who was going along with them.

The maid looked at his stunned face and elegantly bowed with a stoic expression, as if the car behind her was not worth her attention.

"Young master, the car is ready, please…" she said as she slowly opened the door for him to enter.

Oliver quickly entered the car and was again pleasantly surprised. The interior was way more spacious than it looked from outside.

He could notice some glowing runes carved inside that were most likely used to expand the space within.

The seats inside were made out of special leather, making them incredibly soft and magically adjustable to provide perfect comfort and support to the occupant.

Not to mention, the interior was also lined with Luminous Moss that provided a soft amber light, giving a warm and natural feeling.

To communicate and issue commands to the driver, there was a dashboard made out of a crystal orb to work as the central unit that helped display information and drive using the thoughts of the driver with espera.

His head was filled with the thought of owning such a car in the future. It was way better than any car he had ever sat inside.

Not only that, in his previous life, due to his eye problems, he was very limited in driving. But now, he could drive freely and as much as he wanted to.

He looked at the corner and saw an elder sitting in front of the dashboard, probably communicating with the driver.

He did not speak much and quietly sat in one corner of the car. His maid soon followed inside.

\'She\'s also tagging along?\'

His eyes narrowed as he saw her sitting in front of him.

"Young master, if you need anything, do let me know," she said, looking at him.

He nodded and shifted his focus to the runes.

Although he was not able to comprehend these runes, he knew there were many of them all around the car, serving different functions and features.

Some of them must be for shielding purposes as well in case someone tried to attack the moving car.

The car moved. If not for the windows, he wouldn\'t even have realized it was moving due to how smooth it was.

A few minutes later, from the window, he saw the car stopping near a familiar courtyard.

It was Nadia\'s courtyard.

Soon enough, she emerged out wearing a plain but elegant kimono, she was brimming with a heavy aura around her possibly due to the fact that she had stabilized herself after the recent breakthrough to Rank-1.

The espera around her was calm and still and her expression was also serene.

Coupled with that outfit, she looked like a princess truly.

The door opened as she too got inside only to pause in her tracks when she noticed the unfamiliar individual.
