The Unexpected Ultimacy Chapter 43
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

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

"I was... It was..." Gordon was stammering, even though he had no idea why the icy lady was so enraged. He was more afraid of offending another heiress of the Collins family on the same day."Get out of here now!" Stephanie snapped at him, and he lost control of the direction he should head.Then, Stephanie turned to see Austin and felt irritated. "I never knew the scion of the Graham family visited parties uninvited."This hit Austin hard, but he quickly composed himself and tried to change the topic."Don't get it wrong, pretty. Wealthy and influential people come together for business collaborations."Stephanie nodded. "You're right, but people like you cannot be counted."Austin's heart broke into pieces. He never expected her to look down on his family's worth that much.Austin's legs were still shaking with anger, and his mind went blank as he searched for a reply.Then, Stephanie ignored him and pleaded with Michael as she sat. "I'm very sorry for the mess, Mr. Quinn. The prepa

Having a very strong man like Steelheart would be very helpful for the challenging journey Michael was about to embark on. Therefore, he welcomed Steelheart wholeheartedly."Thank you for your help, strong one. We can be on our way now."Steelheart bowed slightly to him in respect and requested to drive the car.Michael agreed, and Steelheart jumped into the driver's seat while Michael sat next to him.Sage, in the passenger seat, heaved a sigh of relief as Steelheart's presence eased his mind.King James wished them a safe and successful journey under his breath as he watched the SUV zoom off.Inside the car, their faces looked determined and focused as their thoughts revolved around the challenge before them.Just then, Michael broke the silence, "After conducting a lot of research, I was able to find Zak's location."The others nodded slowly as Michael took out his phone and showed them the route to the wizard's residence on Google Maps.Zak's residence is located in a deep and sca

After a conclusion had been reached, Michael intended to return home to prepare himself for the challenge ahead. Even though the information about the wizard was very scary, Michael never doubted his abilities.After all, with the genuine black opal in his possession, his spiritual strength would grow to a greater level.Michael set aside all thoughts and was about to exit the palace when Patricia, Liam's elder sister, met his gaze. The beautiful princess gave him a fleeting glance before turning and heading in her own direction.Despite it being just a glance, the air in the atmosphere felt charged at that moment. The meaning of the glance was incomprehensible to both, leaving the duo in a state of uncertainty........It was already the next day. Michael had taken his time and did what was needed overnight. At this moment, his spiritual strength had grown to the extent that he could unleash a powerful blast of energy from his bare hands.As soon as he arrived at the palace, a quick

The king felt extremely disgusted with Sage immediately. Undoubtedly, such a greedy fellow wouldn't mind ending the king's life if he got paid for it.Before the unexpected could occur, James had already resolved to end Sage's life first.Michael was still dumbfounded as he found it hard to understand how an elderly man could be so greedy. 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
Chapter 118
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
Chapter 117
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
Chapter 114
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
