A total fright took over the room as the revelation restricted the air in the atmosphere.

Given that the king had once witnessed Zak in action in Colston City, that made him realize who Sage described in the narration.

Zak was a popular wizard in Colston City; however, only a few people had been privileged to see him in person.

Aside from that, this ruthless wizard was known for devouring human beings on a whim without opening his mouth. Zak could manipulate time and mess with whatever he targeted.

The king tried to understand that he must have spared Sage that night so as not to leave a trace of his visitation.

The only question that revolved around King James' mind now was why Zak came for Silvana City's protection mirror.

He could remember he had never had any business with the wizard in the past, let alone had a clash with him. Why Silvana City's peace was a problem for him left him with questions.

King James sighed heavily as he let go of Sage's shoulders. He turned to Michael, w

If not for his greed, there's a chance that the protection mirror wouldn't have gone missing.As soon as Sage saw the disgust and anger on their faces, he quickly protested,"Your Highness, please don't get me wrong! That was my intention when I got the fabricated black opal, but not anymore! That was why I returned the genuine black opal to the treasury after I realized that money isn't the pinnacle of everything in life."King James' face remained stern as he stared at the unreliable elderly man. Even though there was a hint of genuineness on his face as he protested, it was still very hard to believe him.James then turned to Michael and said, "M

    All attention fell on Michael, their faces contoured in surprise."What's going on here, Hannah?! What are you doing with this spoiled brat?!" Michael thundered, gritting his teeth. His hands were clenched into fists.Austin's face changed instantly, and he jumped to his feet in anger."How dare you, a poor thing, cause trouble here? Where has a pauper like you borrowed the courage?!""I have no business with you, spoiled brat. Allow my girlfriend to answer my question. Do not intimidate her!" Michael's eyes were very red with rage."Hahaha! Even the poor long for good things. What rubbish?!" Austin sneered and then turned to Hannah."Babe, do you know this low-life?"Hannah looked exposed as her eyes blinked twice. "I'm sorry, Honey. I never told you about him. He used to be my boyfriend, but I have broken up with him."Michael's heart sank in his stomach, and his voice cracked. "We have been dating for three years. We even had quality time together last night. So, what are you talki

    The rain continued to pour heavily, beating down on Michael, yet he wasn't feeling it. The pain of rejection and humiliation engulfed him.He stared at the ground beneath him, and a sad smile appeared on his face."I've lived all my life in pain and poverty. I will find peace down here," Michael's voice cracked.He was heartbroken and wished his parents had been rich too. He could have lived off his inheritance.He snapped his left hand to his chest, grabbing the only inheritance his parents left for him: a jade pendant.He pulled at it, and the necklace broke off. He clutched the jade pendant tightly in his palm.He remembered what his mother had told him about the pendant: "With this pendant, your potential is limitless."Michael swallowed a forceful lump down his throat and felt his mother's remark about the pendant was just a fallacy.Michael opened his hand, gazing at the jade pendant. "Whether you're worthy or not, today will be the end of everything."The tears he had been hold

    After a few hours, the day became brighter. Michael was very far asleep when his phone began to ring over and over. After several attempts, the caller stopped calling.The sun was already burning hot when he finally woke up. He stretched his body, yawning when his phone began to ring again.With half-sleepy eyes, he swiped the blinded screen of his phone and picked up the call."Where the fvck are you, loser? Why haven't you resumed work by this time of day?!" A very rough and angry voice wailed before ending the call.The sleep in Michael's eyes wiped away right away, realizing it was Jack Harris, the manager of Skyline Restaurant. He glanced at the wall clock and discovered it was already past twelve.He jumped out of bed, trying to prepare, and sprinted to Skyline.He hurriedly searched for his uniform before he found it soaked and stinking where he had kept it last night."Oh, shit!!" He cursed, running out of his room.In less than twenty minutes, Michael arrived at Skyline.As s

    An impatient facial expression appeared on the king's face. All he wanted to know was the current location of the protection mirror. The longer the sacred mirror remains missing in Silvana City, the closer unimaginable disasters are likely to strike the city.At that moment, Sage's face looked so bitter, and his lips were trembling. The more he was about to speak, the more tears ran down his cheeks."On the night of Prince Liam's last birthday..." Sage bit his lower lip, trying to hold back his tears.Michael paid more attention to the elderly man as he began to explain. He was so impressed by how the king had perfectly handled the situation up to this moment.If the king hadn't been watching Sage, who would have known he had a secret to reveal?Sage was weeping hard as he continued, "While the celebration was ongoing that night, I was lured out of the celebration grounds by a stranger.""Without any discussion, he gifted me five million dollars as a kind gesture."Michael and King Ja

    King James was stunned and refused to believe his eyes. He felt his mind playing a trick on him as he walked closer to the shelf in doubt.Sage and Michael had their eyes on the king as they saw him stop before the shelf, staring in a direction.Meanwhile, the king was surprised that what he saw was real. The protection mirror was hidden behind other valuables on the shelf. It was a hexagonal-shaped mirror with traditional intricacies.Michael and Sage were still watching the king as he stood there when he reached for the mirror and turned to them.They were befuddled to see the traditional mirror in his hand. Who would have thought that the protection mirror, capable of saving the whole city, was sitting there?However, King James's face tightened in rage as he asked Sage, "The loyal one, tell me how this got here?"Sage's ocean of tears dried immediately as he rose to his feet. He wore a bland expression as he gave his two cents."It's very understandable, Your Highness. That foolis

    King James and Michael were stunned to hear that from Sage. A surprised look was directed at the elderly man as the king snapped at him in rage."What do you mean by that, Sage? Are you trying to silence her?"Sage quickly composed himself, waving his hands in decline. "Don't get me wrong, Your Highness. I meant what else does she have to say, as it was already obvious that she is a skillful thief.""If not, how was she able to steal the key card that I used a few minutes ago to sneak into the jewel room? My king, there's a high chance that she was the one who stole the protection mirror. Her skill is highly bewildering!"Sage's stance introduced a bit of confusion into the atmosphere. However, even though his points were worth pondering, they were quite unbelievable.The king wondered how it was possible for the lady to steal the key card from him without any of them finding out. That had to be magic.The king didn't argue with Sage as he realized Sage was trying to manipulate their

    They were all extremely stunned to find the gemstone with the lady.The king's face turned seriously angry at her. If they hadn't caught her here, they wouldn't have discovered the theft.King James had a cold stare at her, wondering how long she had been stealing from the treasury. He was left in the middle of his thoughts, struggling to believe that she was the one who stole the protection mirror.Then, the king angrily said to her, "So, you've been the one stealing all the valuables in this treasury!""Your Highness, that's not true. This is my first time visiting the treasury, and this is the only valuable I took. Pardon me." She quickly explained with utmost fear, letting go of the black opal.Just then, a thought came to James's mind as he confronted Sage. "King adviser, I remember we only have one black opal in this treasury, and it has been given to Mr. Quinn. Where does this come from?"Sage took a moment to think before he replied, "That's true, Your Highness. We have given

    They all quickly walked forward in that direction with curiosity."Who's there?!" King James asked sternly as they got closer to the corner. However, there was no response.Instantly, they all checked around the corner but couldn't find anyone.Sage heaved a sigh and said, "Could it be that we overheard things?""I don't think that's true. If not, why do we all react to the sound at the same time?" Michael's observation swept away Sage's point.Sage was about to further argue with Michael when they heard a heavier grunt right in that same spot.This time, they all caught the exact angle from which the sound came and walked briskly toward it.King James was closer to the direction. He saw nothing else there but a big, old carton that seemed to be empty. James doubted if his instinct was right as he slowly opened the empty carton.Boom!They were all shocked to find a skinny young lady hiding in the big carton. She was grunting heavily due to the excessive heat. She looked extremely exh
