From Outcast to Overlord: The Unyielding Heir Novel

Chapter 328 Bringing Someone Home . " Now . I vow to give you a lifetime of splendor . " พร 48 Finished A simple , pure sentence - yet it carried the weight of countless days and nights of Leander's devotion , filled with all the longing he had harbored for Daphne . As a child , he had never forgotten , and as the Iron Sovereign of today , he would never forget- not even for a moment . Daphne stared at Leander , mesmerized . She had seen this scene countless times in her dreams , but each time she woke , there was only disappointment and tears . But now , the waiting was over .

No cold bed boards , no empty , echoing bedroom - here sat a living , breathing man , flesh and blood before her . She had no doubt about Leander's identity . Even after nine years , his embrace had not changed . His eyes , his voice , and that unmistakable , exclusive " Dani " were enough proof : this was her Ander . " I knew it , " Daphne whispered , her voice trembling . " My Ander wouldn't die . You'd come find me . I waited long enough for this day .

" She snatched the pull tab and slipped it onto her hand again , just like the defiant , spirited little girl she had once been - leaving Leander both helpless and amused . Then , Daphne reached out her delicate hand . " You promised me a lifetime of splendor - you can't back out now ." Seeing that familiar gesture , Leander let out a quiet , hoarse laugh . " After all these years , you're still pulling this on me ? " " Of course ! " Without another word , she grabbed his hand , their thumbs pressing together . This time , the pinky promise was for a lifetime .

Everyone in the classroom stared at them , frozen , their eyes locked on the two figures without blinking . From their conversation , it was clear that Daphne had waited for Leander a long time - but they couldn't understand what Leander had done to earn such devotion . How could she look at him like a wife waiting for her husband to come home ? He didn't look like some wealthy heir . Among the elite heirs they knew , none bore the name Leander . Why would she choose a kid like him - and act as if she had pledged her life to him ? 1/4 16:15 Thu , Oct 16 Chapter 326 Bringing Semener Home : .

2 Finished Damian shook off his shock and saw Daphne leaning against Leander , gentle and obedient . His blood almost boiled . " Ms. Daphne ! " He cleared his throat , his voice dropping . " Ms. Daphne , I don't mean to disturb your reunion , but just now this friend of yours - he tossed my thing aside . Isn't he going to give me an explanation ? " He pointed to the diamond bracelet on the floor , eyes fixed on Leander . Leander glanced at him , a faint smile on his lips . He didn't have time for a petty guy like him .

However , Daphne suddenly turned her gaze , her icy eyes locking onto Damian . The force of it made his body shudder . " Damian , who do you think you are ? You actually dare demand an explanation from Ander? You have ten seconds to get out of my sight . Say one more word , and I'll make sure you never leave Highcliffe . " Her voice was calm , almost quiet , but each word landed like a hammer blow , striking straight at Damian's chest . His face drained . He couldn't believe it . He only asked Leander for an explanation , and Daphne threatened to destroy him .

He couldn't imagine - if he had actually harmed Leander - maybe Daphne would have wiped out the entire Reese family . He tried to speak again , but Daphne's gaze swept over him like a blade . Unable to bear the pressure , he bolted out of the classroom . Though Damian was a top heir in Goldenridge , he knew his place . In front of Daphne , he was nothing more than second - rate . The Reese family might dominate Goldenridge , but facing the Florian family , even a week would leave them in ruins . That was the true power of Highcliffe's elite . " Dani , you're still as fierce as ever !

" Leander took a step back , pretending to be a little scared . " You're the worst , Ander . Didn't I learn this from you ? When you don't want to waste words , you just threaten people , right ? " Leander coughed awkwardly . He had taught Daphne a lot , but it seemed she had remembered the mischievous lessons better than the good ones . 2/4 16:15 Thu , Oct 16 Chapter 328 Bringing Someone Home 43 Finished Daphne playfully frowned , a wave of emotion stirring in her chest . This lighthearted , teasing side of her hadn't shown itself in nine years .

All her warmth and charm bloomed only for the young man in front of her . Even Ethan couldn't earn a fraction of this affection . After a few casual words , Daphne's expression suddenly darkened . She looked at Leander with concern . " Ander , now that you're back ... what are you planning to do about the Ashcroft family ? " Her brows furrowed slightly . Though Leander had returned , he was no longer the prodigy he once was . His martial power had been stripped away , his skills lost , and the Ashcroft family's support gone . Nine harsh years had passed , and things had not improved much .

Daphne had never cared about Leander's background or abilities . She loved him for who he was , but she knew he must hold resentment toward the Ashcrofts . And once the Ashcroft family learned he was alive - and now in Highcliffe - they would likely take action . With his current strength , he couldn't protect himself . That was why she worried . " I haven't thought about it , " Leander said with a faint smile . " Though yesterday , I met with my mother . She wants me to go back to the Ashcroft family with her today ." " Ms. Brookhaven ?

" Daphne finally exhaled in relief at the mention of the name . She had heard some of what happened to Leander back then and worried that the Ashcroft family , if they learned he was still alive , might strike again . But with Lydia now protecting him , at least they wouldn't dare act so openly . Sensing her thoughts , Leander reached out and gently ruffled her hair . " Don't worry , Dani . Even without my mother here , the Ashcroft family is nothing to me ." Hearing the confident , commanding tone in his voice , Daphne nodded with a soft smile .

After nine years , even though his martial power had been stripped and his skills lost , Leander had not been broken . On his face still shone the same unshakable self - assurance . Wherever a person went , as long as confidence remained , their spirit endured . Even if Leander currently had nothing , even if he had lost his martial abilities , she believed he would rise again . " Ander ! " She gripped his hands firmly , her voice serious .

2/1 16:15 Thu , Oct 16 Chapter 378 Bringing Someone Home Finisher " Even if you can no longer train or fulfill your old dream of becoming a powerhouse in the martial world , I believe that in other ways , you will soar higher than ever . " I'll make your dream of being a martial world powerhouse come true for you . " Hearing the sincerity in Daphne's words , he knew she was offering comfort because she thought he could no longer practice martial arts . He didn't explain ; he simply smiled and nodded .

On Westvale Peak , Gareth stood halfway up the mountainside , staring down at the massive pit below , easily over thirty feet across , his mind full of unease . The bodies of Master Tharok and the others had been cleared , yet he hadn't left . He remained deep in thought . " Across Highcliffe , only a handful of people - no more than five besides me - could kill five Martial Sovereigns in a single move . But I know all five of them . " If it had been any of them , they would have informed me . So , it wasn't any of them who struck last night . Then ...

who could it be ?" Lost in thought , his phone suddenly rang . It was Ethan calling . " Dad ! " Ethan's voice came through the phone . " Mom called me earlier . She said she's going back to the Ashcroft family today ! " Gareth's eyes narrowed sharply , a flash of barely contained joy crossing his face . " What did you say ? She's going back to the Ashcroft family ? She's really willing to go back ? " Ethan's tone carried little excitement ; if anything , it was heavier , more serious . " She also said ... she's bringing someone home ! " Send Gifts 60
