Arthur flipped through another page of documents on the table, glancing towards Michael, who was seated on the side. At this moment, he seemed a bit bewildered, not turning many pages of the document on the table. His face had a slight flush, his breathing was a bit rapid, and even sweat dripped down his chin onto the table.Arthur furrowed his brow slightly and asked, "Michael, if you're not feeling well, you can take a break."Michael continued to stare blankly as if he didn't hear Arthur's voice. It was only when Arthur spoke for the third time that he seemed to awaken from a daze. His eyes, still unfocused, turned towards Arthur, and he said, "Master, today feels strange, don't you think?"Arthur couldn't help but frown. Under normal circumstances, he might have just let Michael take a break. But considering the current situation...Suddenly, Arthur stood up, looking at Michael with a serious tone. "Go back and rest."Michael nodded and stood up to leave. His steps were ste
Ten minutes later, Riert appeared in front of Arthur and Case with a cold smile, followed by his army stationed in the capital. Riert casually ran his fingers through his long hair, his fox-like eyes fixed on Case as he coldly remarked, "I'm sure you caused trouble."Case maintained a serious and icy expression, not uttering a word. His demeanor made it difficult for others to doubt him. However, Riert sneered, clearly not deceived by Case's cold facade.This time, Arthur also took notice of Riert. With long, tied-up hair and fox-like eyes, he exuded a mischievous charm. Despite his youthful face, it was hard to believe he was over thirty. In contrast to his face, his towering figure was only slightly shorter than Case's by 2cm.In Arthur's eyes, Riert's body seemed to be radiating, absorbing elemental energy from the surroundings. This phenomenon resembled the behavior of the Thlu creatures at home. Arthur furrowed his brows slightly but decided not to dwell on it.He wasn't
Riert couldn't help but glance towards Arthur, then turned his gaze to the mysterious figure in the black cloak. At this moment, Arthur nodded, speaking in a low voice, "Alright, you all retreat."The person in the black cloak bowed, took a step back, and then disappeared as if they had never been there. At this point, the dragons in the sky began to grow angry as they couldn't fly out of the city. They roared loudly and then turned their attention towards the ground.Arthur glanced at Case, who was battling a giant dragon and then looked back at Riert. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Aren't you planning to fight?"Riert, just awakening from his thoughts, smiled, lifted his gun, and said, "Of course, we will fight. Warriors, attack!" His following words echoed so loudly that they could rival the roars of the dragons.The troops behind him immediately raised their guns and started shooting. Riert's army seemed to be exceptionally skilled at long-range shooting, with very few mis
At this moment, Harry is lying in the peculiar room that Arthur brought him to, and his entire body seems to be undergoing a transformation. His physique becomes more robust, and his face loses some of its youthfulness and frailty. Arthur walks through the door, exhales upon seeing Harry on the floor, and takes a moment. Surrounding them are scattered books and even a few shattered potion vials. However, Arthur doesn't pay much attention to these things; after all, he won't be leaving anything important in this room.Arthur strokes the ring on his hand and then proceeds to lift Harry and place him on the bed. He raises his hand, and the books immediately levitate before neatly arranging themselves. The magical residue on the floor is manipulated by Arthur, hovering in mid-air before being transferred into a new vial. The broken shards of glass find their way into the trash bin, and the room returns to normal in no time.Arthur glances at Harry, confirming that he seems relative
The atmosphere on the table fell into silence for a moment, then Diana spoke directly with a smile, "It's surprising how powerful the military's capabilities have become. This is also good for our people."Finishing her words, she glanced at Arthur and asked, "Arthur, why are you here?"Arthur took a sip of coffee, his eyes fixed on company documents. Nonchalantly, he replied, "Perhaps to oversee everything."Diana hesitated for a moment, almost bursting into laughter at Arthur's confidence. Standing among the strong, Arthur seemed like an ordinary person, yet he dared to claim he was there to oversee everything.At that moment, Ivan suddenly spoke, "Arthur, after yesterday, everyone has awakened to their powers. How about you?"His words were ironically amusing. Everyone in the Hastings family knew Arthur's magical aptitude was poor. Asking him such a question was like directly mocking him.Even Eslite couldn't help but give Ivan a skeptical look, then silently shook his head.No
Two weeks had passed since the revival of elemental energy. Until today, Ivan could finally get out of bed. At this moment, both he and his mother, Diana, wore unpleasant and disdainful expressions. They had been expelled from their home, and Arthur was resolute in not providing any retreat for them.On that day, right after being expelled from their home, Ivan and Diana immediately received news that their bank accounts linked to the Hastings estate were frozen and could no longer be used. Furthermore, all assets related to the Hastings estate were seized. At that point, they only had their personal savings or properties purchased with their own money.Moreover, Ivan was injured and had to go to the hospital, consuming a significant portion of their wealth. Diana had to sell many valuable pieces of jewelry at low prices, and naturally, her mood worsened. Despite the difficulties, they couldn't sell the real estate.Ivan sat on the hospital bed, packing his clothes to prepare f
According to what the military personnel said, the time the Mage Association issued the announcement was when Robert and Arthur were talking. At that moment, just in time, Robert didn't say anything more and just looked at the central 3D blue screen on the round table.Arthur, on the other hand, sat leisurely, not saying much. His eyes slightly lowered, lips curved in a smile as if enjoying something. At this moment, Joel suddenly scoffed and said, "The Mage Association is too arrogant. They say they will broadcast live on all media to announce important matters. Do they think they can hack into all communication devices on the continent? It's really laughable."Stall, hearing this, couldn't help but say, "Exactly, especially the military. Can they really hack in and broadcast live right here?"Clearly, they all felt this was unlikely.At this moment, Riert suddenly laughed and said, "If everyone feels it's impossible, then why are we gathered here?" Others didn't say a word but s
The topic related to the Mage Association has now exceeded 3 billion views, and there are countless comments below.["Does anyone feel this is real? Until now, I still feel like it's too surreal. Is there really such a magical watch?!"]["Why is everyone so focused on the watch? Doesn't anyone find it surprising that just two weeks have passed, and the Mage Association has already updated a new world map? I doubt the accuracy of that map!"]["In summary, there are still many suspicious points in this story, but I feel like it might be true. They could even hack all the media on the continent. Too magical!"]["Doesn't anyone find Finral's live broadcast to be like a direct sales pitch? It's really hilariously funny."]["Isn't anyone curious about who is behind the Mage Association? It seems like Finral is not entirely in charge..."]["Curiosity +1, really don't know who could act so fast, and it seems like there's a powerful force with strong abilities."]["I don't care that much! I he
