The Unexpected Ultimacy Chapter 40
The next day, Michael was sitting on his balcony, absorbing the energy of his natural surroundings.Immediately after he was done, a new task alert popped up before his eyes.Ding![New Task Alert!][Quench the fire burning at Silvana Palace][Reward: 30 gems.][Task must be completed in the next three hours. Your time starts now!][Failure to complete the task within the given duration will result in a pause of tasks for several weeks.][Failure to carry out the task will lead to the host losing any of his previously granted wishes.]Michael was somewhat surprised. He had never heard any news about Silvana Palace being attacked by fire.However, he set aside the question and found his way to the destination.A few moments later, he arrived at the exclusive reserved and well-secured area where the palace was situated.Despite the limitations on the monarch's power in modern times, Silvana City's royal authority remains significant.Surprisingly, Michael didn't see a sign or trace of a

Ding![Ten gems deducted.][Wish granted.]Instantly, Steelheart felt a subtle relaxation in his chest. His heart became calm as he looked at Michael, unlike how enraged he had been a minute ago.He wondered why he had been mad at Michael in the first place. Michael had willingly come to the palace to lend a helping hand. Why should he be stopped?At that moment, Steelheart turned to his subordinate, and his heart hardened."Both of you should lock yourselves up right now!" he ordered, rage evident on his face.The guards were shocked upon hearing that. They never expected the matter to head this way."We are so sorry to let this nonentity trouble you, sir. We should have cut off his legs before your arrival." They both fell to their faces, pleading.However, what they had just said only provoked Steelheart further. "You! Get them locked up forever! Without food or water!" Steelheart beckoned at one of the guards peeking at the scene.The guard hurried forward and picked up his collea

Sage's hatred for Michael multiplied at that moment. He wondered how Michael came to know about a matter that was completely a secret.The king scrutinized Michael more thoroughly and asked, "How capable do you think you are?""I will try my best, Your Highness," Michael calmly responded.Sage voiced his annoyance as he couldn't hold it in any longer."I don't mean to be rude, my king, but since Elysian is here..." The king raised his hand, cutting Sage off.Sage slowly lowered his head, feeling disappointed.However, the king had his own perception as well. Several spiritual doctors had been invited, and none of them had been successful.Is it sensible to depend on only one person now?Elysian, who had been quiet, decided to speak up as well. "My king, this kid doesn't look like he has any basic knowledge about leaves, let alone their usage. He's just a distraction. I suggest we send him away."The king nodded and said, "You're right."Elysian was pleased.Then the king continued, "I

They were still in a daze when the king picked an apple from the bowl of fruit beside him and placed it on the table."How many seeds are there in this apple?" the king asked, and they were all stupefied.The contestants were more surprised, as they never expected such a challenge.Elysian quickly cleared his throat. "We don't have to waste much time." Then he began to chant.After he spent close to eight minutes on the chants, he said, "My king, this apple has seven seeds.""Are you sure?" Sage asked worriedly."There are seven seeds in the apple. I'm very sure," Elysian confirmed.Then Sage turned to Michael. "It's your turn."Michael nodded in response. This test truly required inner wisdom, which meant he needed to level up his abilities.He remembered he had ten gems left, then he whispered a wish."I wish to be bestowed with inner wisdom."Ding![Ten gems deducted!][Wish granted!]Right away, the answer came to Michael's mind."Why is it taking you forever to say something?!"

In a moment, the king's wives and daughters flooded into the room as soon as the news reached them.They all loved Liam as the only male child in their family and also as an adorable prince.King James had eight wives and ten children in total: one son and nine daughters.James' family had these numbers when he was desperate to have a son.In the first year after James became king, his first wife, Victoria, gave birth to a female child. A year later, she gave birth to another female child.Then, James married his second wife, Catherine, the night Victoria had her second daughter.Some months later, Catherine gave birth to a female child, too.This made James somewhat worried. Then, Sage advised him to marry more wives.The advice was put into action, and James married five more wives on the same day.Surprisingly, all five new wives gave birth to female children.At this time, the king found it difficult to sleep at night. He thought that with all the women giving birth to female chil

Sage sprang into action and rushed out immediately.A few minutes later, he returned with everything Michael had requested.Michael collected it from him and placed it in the middle of the room. Then, he sat Liam before the tray.Everyone had their eyes on Michael, wondering what he was doing.Just then, Michael gathered the dry leaves in the middle of the tray. Then, he placed the beetles and crickets on the four corners of the tray.He ignited the dry leaves, and a thick smoke billowed out, covering the whole room.Patricia was agitated and wanted to kick away the nonsense he was doing. However, she couldn't risk offending her father. This made her swallow her anger.The thick smoke evaporated and turned into a wisp. The thread of smoke began to swirl out from the middle of the burning dry leaves.Michael studied the tiny smoke as it went straight up. Soon, the smoke lost its direction.Then, he traced the smoke again from the bottom.The tiny smoke rose and then waved in a directio

Patricia and her mother were about to rush to him when Michael's voice stopped them instantly."Don't go close to him!"The women stopped in their tracks, shifting their gaze to Michael."For what reason? Can't you see that he needs help?" Patricia was furious.Michael didn't argue with her; instead, he explained, "Prince Liam is in a recovery state. Interrupting him at this time might lead to disorganized memory recovery. Be aware that memory loss is a serious condition that needs to be handled carefully."Listening to Michael's explanation, they all fell silent.They wondered how the young man had so much knowledge about the condition. Undoubtedly, they could tell that he knew what he was saying.At that moment, Liam gasped and woke up from his unconsciousness.His eyes opened slowly like a hibiscus flower. His mind was so blank that he didn't remember even a trace of everything that had happened to him in the past.With squinted eyes, he looked around at everyone on their feet befo

Michael was amused by his mockery. Everything Austin said showed how small-minded he was. However, it would be foolish to reply to a fool like him.Seeing how indecently the two women beside him were dressed, Michael knew who they were.He felt Hannah had done well for herself by accepting a ring from a spoiled brat who slept around with promiscuous women.“Haha! It feels so good to see you sad. You were so unlucky that you couldn't get the job. You even ended up being thrown out by the guard commander. I saw everything!”Austin mocked more loudly, hoping that Michael would disclose all the information.He aimed to provoke Michael because he saw how respectfully Steelheart bowed to him from a distance. This left him with questions.His first surprise was how Michael got the chance to enter the palace. How did a nobody like him get such an opportunity?The Graham Company had an interest in a piece of land on the outskirts of the reserved area, which was under the king's authority.Howe

Ding![Ten gems deducted!][Wish granted!]In a flash, Zak's camouflage body began a rapid spin in place, and the air blew Michael away, causing him to land on his back."What's going on?! Somebody help me!" Zak shouted as his voice echoed through the air.The wizard couldn't fathom what had led him to this sudden, nonstop spin.This time, Michael got to his feet, watching the wizard in his helpless situation. He never had any intention of hurting the man in the beginning; all that mattered to him was the protection mirror.However, given the clash between the duo, it was no surprise that Zak was determined to send Michael to his grave.It was great luck for Michael that he was able to put his enemy in his place.If only Michael had known where the wizard had kept the mirror, he would have gone for it right away. This was because, as soon as the air blew him away, he felt his spiritual energy awakening slightly.Zak, who had been crying for help, suddenly accepted the truth that no on

Meanwhile, Michael was still in the darkroom, trying his best to escape the difficult situation he was in.At that moment, not only was the heat in the room becoming more intense, but his throat was seriously drying out, and he nearly coughed up blood.This left him in a completely uncomfortable situation, with his life hanging by a thread.It was clear that Zak wasn't taking it lightly with Michael. He wanted him dead, and in a horrible way.As Michael continued to wander around the room, trying harder to find a means of exit, he accidentally stepped on a pressure-sensitive switch on the floor.Suddenly, a part of the wall shifted slightly, and a little light entered the room.Michael's brows raised slightly in surprise as he couldn't discern the reason behind the sudden shift.He was devastated, as his clothes were already soaked with sweat, but he couldn't give up at such a dangerous moment.Michael gasped loudly as he turned to try passing through the shifted wall, hoping it would

After the dancing session with Sage, an arrangement was made for refreshments. The elderly man was invited to the dining table, sitting next to the gang leader and his lover."You requested some fun earlier. Here's some for you." The gang leader said to Sage, pointing at the bottles of wine and other hard liquor on the table.Sage responded with a gentle smile as he maintained his drunken act. "Haha! What a good day to be alive! Thank you for the warm treatment."The gang leader waved his hand in the air and stated genuinely, "Mammie deserves the gratitude. If not for her, there's a high chance you would be in a pool of blood by now."The gang leader flashed a wicked smile at Sage before turning a calm gaze at his lover sitting next to him.At that moment, the elderly man felt a shift in his heart. He couldn't deny the truth behind the gang leader's remark.If it weren't for Fiona, the ruthless gang leader would have blown Sage's head off with his gun.Given that, the elderly man reco

A sudden pause took over the room immediately.Michael glanced around but couldn't find any trace of the wizard. Then, he taunted, "Isn't it early for you to go behind the veil now, Zak? The show hasn't even started yet."His voice was a mix of seriousness and ridicule. However, all he got in response was total silence.He turned to look around quickly, anticipating the wizard's attack, but nothing happened.Just then, Michael stayed in place, paying attention to the direction where Zak had fallen. Then, he began to hear the sound of blood dripping on the floor.That gave him a glimpse into the reason why the wizard had suddenly disappeared. Zak had hidden himself in the darkness as he lost his strength so quickly.His strength drained away rapidly due to his injury and loss of blood.Michael was about to head in the direction of the sound when the wizard's terrifying voice suddenly echoed, "There's nothing in this world that can save you from visiting your grave today. However, getti

The room became illuminated instantly as the wizard appeared. It became clearer to Michael that the deep darkness in the room was all Zak's doing.Having a glance at what the wizard looked like, Michael felt a little concerned as he was still battling with the strike that had attacked him unexpectedly. His whole body was hot from within, to the point that his skin nearly burned away.Michael was staring at Zak at that moment, trying to understand whether he should be called a human being or an animal.This was because he had the shape of a human, while his face closely resembled that of an elephant. His nose was ridiculously long, and his ears nearly touched his shoulders. Moreover, he had two long horns on his head, making his kind of creature strange.Michael slowly stepped backward as the pain of the strike sank deeper inside him. He clenched his fists, aiming to gather his spiritual strength to help himself.However, Zak never let him be. The scary wizard walked closer to him, add

Michael hurried to his feet as the scary voice echoed. He glanced around the dark room, but he couldn't see a thing.The room was so dark that he couldn't even see his palms.He was trying to confirm if he was hallucinating. Probably, his mind was playing tricks on him due to the strange voices he had heard earlier before entering the building.The only thing he could note was an awful smell in the room. Just then, the previous voice came up again without revealing the direction of its owner."Those who trespassed into Zak's abode in the past never made it out of here. Now, you can have a bite of the pie, too."Instantly, a bolt of frightening lightning struck the dark room but couldn't harm Michael as he was quickly enclosed in a purplish transparent sphere.His eyes opened wide with concern as the lightning gave him a glimpse of what the room looked like.He felt a shift in his heart as his eyes flashed at several dried and decayed human skeletons lying on the ground.This time, Mic

Steelheart was momentarily stunned. He wondered how someone could be so selfless, laying down his life for the sake of his city.Before Steelheart could emerge from his train of thought, Michael had headed into the scary forest.Paying attention to the quiet surroundings, the guard commander stood more alert against any forthcoming troubles.Meanwhile, inside the thick forest, Michael had only walked a short distance when he suddenly noticed something strange.He discovered that he had been walking in the same spot for the past few minutes.He realized this after paying attention to his surroundings and found that he had been seeing the same trees over and over."What's going on?" Michael whispered to himself and tried another route in the forest.However, despite the attempt, the problem persisted. This time, he had to consult his inner knowledge to find a solution to the issue at hand.Browsing through his knowledge, Michael found that the forest was in this state because it was loc

Michael was mind-blown and wondered how she got to be in the midst of the deadly group. Not only was she in their midst, but she was also the gang leader's lover.After Fiona left Skyline Restaurant that night, Michael tried hard to reach her, but all his efforts were to no avail.Finding her among the gangsters now made him feel worried and concerned.Even though he had no idea how Fiona came to be with Don Leonardo's men, he felt it was against her will.This time, his mind went straight to no one else but Jack Harris, who used her as a weapon against Skyline Restaurant.After the incident that occurred at Skyline Restaurant that night, Vivian disclosed to Michael why Fiona had to comply with Jack Harris's orders to carry out his scheme against the restaurant.It turns out that Jack Harris had trickily taken a nude picture of Fiona when she was in the changing room. Ever since then, he had always pressured Fiona to sleep with him or risk having her nude leaked on the Internet.He al

A quick pause took over the atmosphere immediately.The gang leader's face became ugly, and he sniffed, shifting his gaze to the lady next to him while his gun was still pointed at Sage."Why do you think so, Mammie? What do you observe?" the gang leader asked.The lady chuckled, taking a thorough look at Sage, who had turned ice cold on his feet. "Taking a look at his bottle of local liquor says a lot about him. Also, take a look at his outfit..."The lady hadn't concluded her statement when the crowd's gaze fell on the elderly man's cowboy outfit, and they burst into roaring laughter."What the f***?! Hahaha!""Laughing my f***ing ass off!"The crowd continued to make tons of surprising comments while Sage remained frozen on his feet.Nothing was funny to him at that moment. The sight of the gun before him had already made him lose his soul even before his death.Just then, wide laughter suddenly appeared on the gang leader's face as his eyes traveled from the elderly man's shirt to
