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?!" S
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
In a few minutes, Stephanie drove into a luxurious hotel. As soon as they got out of the car, she led the way inside, and they entered an elevator to the top floor.Michael was still a bit confused about where they were heading until they stopped in front of a grand hall.The hall looked so calm and welcoming. It had high ceilings, shining chandeliers, and large windows. The beautiful tables in the hall were arranged in rows, with the VIP space in the middle.The table setters were all focused on their job, doing the decoration. Undoubtedly, the hall was fascinating.Stephanie led Michael to one of the VIP tables and offered him a seat. "Please, take your seat, Mr. Quinn."Michael sat down gently, then the young lady made a request. "Please, spare me a minute to inform my mom that you're here. She will be so happy to see you."Michael nodded, "No problem, Miss Collins."Then, she left in excitement.Shortly, Michael was looking around at the beautiful hall, with some questions in his
Despite the rage burning in Gordon's mind, he couldn't leave his work to fight Michael. He dared not risk it. He had a lot of bills to pay.Just then, he saw a figure walk into the hall. It was none other than Austin. His face frowned, and he looked extremely frustrated.Austin had gone through hell on his way before he found out where Stephanie and Michael were headed."Huh? Mr. Graham!" Gordon was surprised to see the billionaire's son.He rushed to him and greeted respectfully, "Mr. Graham, you are most welcome."Austin didn't even glance at him, let alone a reply. He was busy scanning the hall for Michael.However, Gordon didn't take his arrogant manner to heart. After all, he was the scion of the Graham family. He thought that it would be a great benefit to him in the future if he could leave a good impression on him."Come and have a seat here," Gordon offered, leading the way to the VIP tables.At that moment, Austin had found who he was looking for at a distance. His head expl
