Chapter-6 Sever ties

Imanuel, the second young master of the illustrious Anderson Family, was hailed as the unrivaled beauty of the Galactic Alliance. Liam had always been skeptical about this claim, thinking it was an overstatement. However, today, he finally understood the reason behind the frenzy surrounding Imanuel.

The young man met his gaze, his crystal blue eyes sparkling like precious gems, adorned with long, curly silver lashes that added an ethereal touch.

His features were a striking blend of icy elegance and breathtaking beauty, as if sculpted by divine hands. The rich crimson of his lips stood out vividly against his pale, almost translucent skin, creating a mesmerizing contrast.

In that instant, Liam felt overwhelmed, realizing that no words could adequately express the young man's extraordinary beauty.

As he stood mesmerized, he watched those luscious scarlet lips part, releasing a voice that flowed like a celestial hymn, more enchanting than any angelic melody.

"You are Liam, right? Hello, I am Imanuel."

.....

"H-hello, I am Liam..."

Imanuel saw that the young man seemed to be quite nervous. So, in order to make him relax, he gave a gentle smile, "Relax, there's no need to be so nervous."

When people encounter Imanuel for the first time, they are often struck by his ethereal beauty. Yet, many perceive him as a cold, immortal being who has descended from the heavens, seemingly detached from the world's affairs.

However, when he smiles, he transforms into a radiant moon amidst a sea of stars, which is distant and noble yet, emits a gentle moonlight in the dark and lonely night.

As soon as he finished saying this, Imanuel watched helplessly as the blush on Liam's face soared even higher. But, such a reaction was so innocent that he couldn't help but chuckle, "Haha... you really don't have to be so tense. Please come and sit..."

"Y-yes..." Liam, who was so flustered, hurriedly went and sat beside Imanuel while trying to lower his head deeper. But it was a pity that he was too tall, and everyone could see his reaction.

Edan, who was sitting beside his parents, saw their interaction and couldn't help but clench his fist.

"Imanuel, now that you are back, you should also think about doing something serious." Fredrick said while taking a sip of the coffee at hand.

"Uncle, you don't need to care about these things, I have my own aspirations for which I want to work harder."

Unlike most people who might feel intimidated by a dominant figure like Fredrick, Imanuel was not only relaxed but also able to confront him at an equal level.

Fredrick was obviously dissatisfied, "Imanuel, you need to know the priorities in life. You need to stop acting immaturely. I've set up an opportunity for you to join the entertainment company alongside Edan. You can finalize the contract in a few days. I've already spoken with the chairman, and they will ensure you are well taken care of."

Edan also interjected at the right time, "Second Brother, you don't have to worry, I will definitely take care of you."

Hearing this, Imanuel looked at him coldly with a pair of crystal blue eyes, "Was it your idea?"

"Yes, brother. I think being a celebrity is a good idea, it does not require any skill and you won't have to waste your time on these unimportant things. This is for your own good."

Liam, who was trying to hide his presence, felt that the atmosphere became gloomy. There was a chilling aura surrounding the young man sitting beside him.

"Who gave you the right to decide what I want to do?" Imanuel's voice was extremely cold.

"I-I just.." Edan's eyes immediately turned red.

Helena, who did not participate in the whole conversation, could not see her son being criticized, "Imanuel! How dare you talk like that with your younger brother?! He is just doing this so that you can give up those ridiculous ideas of yours."

Fredrick didn't speak, but he obviously agreed with this statement.

Imanuel expressionlessly watched this family drama, and he did not want to waste his time anymore, "Uncle, Aunt, I am grateful for all the care you have given to me. But for this gratitude, I can not give up the things I want to do. I'm sorry if I have caused any inconvenience to you in all these years."

The moment Imanuel said these words, Helena felt that Imanuel was definitely going to do something unusual. And just as she expected, Imanuel took out something from his space ring.

It was a small red card. Except for Liam, who was new here and did not know anything about it, everyone else immediately recognized what it was, "This...."

Imanuel's next words cleared their suspicion, "Uncle, this is the premium card you gave me when I first came here. I will return it to you. In the past 6 years, I have not used a single penny from this card."

Despite being in the Interstellar age, banks specially established for the elite upper class still cling to the antiquated practice of offering premium cards.

"I think this should be enough to clear all the efforts you have put for me..."

Fredrick looked at the red card with a dark expression, "You want to sever ties with this family?"

Imanuel presented the facts calmly, "Uncle, I never had any legal ties with your family to begin with. So, I don't think there is a need for such a question to arise."

Fredrick wanted to criticize him, but he could not, because Imanuel was indeed right about this thing. Imanuel is his younger sister's only child, but he does not hold the surname Anderson.

Therefore, he does not belong to Anderson family from a legal perspective. Above all, they were only declared as Imanuel's temporary guardians by his sister, so technically, they do not have the right to make any decision for Imanuel.

Helena noticed that Edan was crying silently at some point. She immediately hugged him and heard him say, "Mom, does second b-brother h-hates me so much? hic...hic... he does not even want to stay here...anymore... am I a nuisance to him?"

Helena was heartbroken seeing her beloved son crying, and she hated Imanuel even more for hurting her child. She stroked his head gently, "No, how could anyone hate our beloved Edan. It is just that he has always been jealous of you, so he has always been trying to put you down..."

Liam, who had been listening to the whole conversation, couldn't help but doubt his ears when he heard this, "Is Mrs. Anderson blind? Why would someone like Imanuel be jealous of her son? Shouldn't it be the other way round?"

Even though Edan can indeed be called a top omega in the circle, even a blind person can tell who is better between the two. Don't get him wrong. He is not trying to put Edan down. But be it appearances or the temperament, the difference between them is as vast as the heaven and earth, with Imanuel being the former. So, who is jealous of whom?

While comforting her son, Helena did not forget to reprimand Imanuel," Imanuel, what has Edan ever done to you? He is obviously the one who cares about you the most in this house. Then, why are you so mean to him? Have you forgotten your responsibilities as the big brother?!"

Imanuel frowned after hearing this, "Aunt, I admit that I have never really treated him like my own brother, but I have never detested Edan. And... you should clearly know the reason why I want to leave this family."

Helena fell silent after hearing this. Even Edan froze for a second when he heard this. Fredrick, on the other hand, frowned. He was obviously unaware of the situation.

Imanuel sighed as he saw their different expression. Finally, he put the premium card on the table and stood up.

Only now did Liam discover how impressively tall the young man was, standing at around 185 cm. Dressed in a full-sleeved black shirt neatly tucked into straight black trousers, he created a striking silhouette that highlighted his slender yet elegant figure, completely enveloped in dark attire.

As he prepared to leave, he made sure to express his courtesy with a few polite words, "Alright, then I will be going back, please take care uncle, aunt..."

With the grace of a supermodel on a runway, the young man strode out, his long legs moving effortlessly. His silken silver-white hair flowed down past his waist, swaying delicately in the air as he walked.

"No! I can't let him go back?"

"Brother!!"
