"Rustle!" The sound of golden leaves colliding with the ground resonated distinctly in this not-too-wide space. Despite the layer of cloak covering, others could still sense Aucris lifting his head at this moment, his gaze seemingly penetrating everything and exploring those in front of him.Robert's group furrowed their brows slightly but did nothing as they allowed Aucris to assess them. Before long, Aucris smiled, his voice low, "Please, take a seat."As he spoke, the sudden sound of gears moving echoed. The floor suddenly split without any signs of magic, revealing a table and four chairs. Aucris had already straightened up and sat down, and the others followed suit.Arthur looked at those in front of him, realizing that they didn't recognize him, or perhaps they didn't even suspect him. This was indeed good.Thinking so improved Arthur's mood a bit. He smiled slightly, going straight to the main topic, "Contracts are a magical means that can bind us. The higher the level o
"What did he say?! You guys signed a major contract with the owner of the Mage Association without me?!" Joel, who had just returned from Nicholas's place, immediately received this news from Robert, almost instantly furious.Riert casually sat aside, observing Joel's enraged and pig-liver-colored face. He couldn't help but laugh and say, "You said you were busy yourself, so why blame us? Besides, Aucris already said we don't need you in the contract."Joel glared at Riert; he always disliked the young general with his nonchalant demeanor. Riert treated Joel's gaze like a passing breeze, paying it no attention.At this point, Robert intervened and said, "Don't be like that, Joel. After all, you still have some benefits."Although he said so, the future was uncertain, and people always disliked things that were not certain. Joel's mood had reached a critical point; he was sure that Robert knew something and wanted to use this opportunity to weaken his influence.Joel couldn't help
"Arthur, you've finally arrived. You have to see this!"Arthur glanced at Harry's grimy face for a moment and couldn't help but say, "Do I have to see this dirty face of yours?"Harry quickly shook his head, leading Arthur to the side and pulling out a test tube with a strange blue potion. "Look at this, it's something I just invented, an ice-binding potion! This potion can temporarily grant someone the ability to use ice magic! I created it based on your cat; isn't it amazing?"Arthur couldn't help but ponder as he looked at Harry. "Have you successfully tested it?"Harry looked pleased. "More than successful, my master."Arthur nodded. "Your talent is truly amazing, Harry. Wait a moment; I'll have Lance come talk to you."Harry seemed a bit skeptical, his dark eyes becoming unreadable. "What do you mean? Why would Lance talk to me?"Arthur smiled. "Don't you plan to sell this potion of yours? If you grant me the production rights for this potion, I assure you that you will receive
Nicholas glanced at Ivan's phone screen and then looked up at the sky, speaking in a low voice, "We can't know the true strength of the Mage Association for now, but it seems they've invested quite a bit in this matter."Ivan, upon hearing this, couldn't help but furrow his brows slightly and asked, "What the is the master saying?"Nicholas spoke in a low voice, "I can't find any signs of someone observing us, indicating that the person must be a mage higher than me or a member of some special race with extremely powerful abilities."However, both types were extremely rare at the current time. Nevertheless, Nicholas was not frantic at the moment. Despite being sealed for many years, he could still go out as long as he was strong enough. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to kill Arthur's parents and plot against Arthur. Therefore, he knew that the current continent was developing rapidly, including things like live broadcasts.Perhaps the entire continent was currently observin
"[Arthur's appearance truly arouses my instincts!]""[What is the girl above saying? It seems like she doesn't know about Arthur's achievements, huh?]""[Exactly, a person at a completely different level, in just two years, immediately holding the power of the Hastings family!]""[Indeed, some people are incomparable; otherwise, it would be infuriating!]"Ivan stood next to Nicholas.He always used his phone to observe the online directions.Almost instantly, he furrowed his brow tightly, hatred in his eyes so intense it seemed ready to burst out at any moment.Nicholas caught Ivan's furious and resentful expression, feeling a bit disdainful internally but saying nothing outwardly.Arthur had already taken his seat next to Robert, knowing that his position now surpassed the other generals by far.After all, wealth can truly accomplish many things.Not to mention that Arthur also had extensive knowledge of magic and contributed a lot to the government's academy.Robert smiled and welcom
Everyone had taken their seats. On the table, members of Robert's group and the four major clans sat facing each other, their lips curved into subtle smiles, their eyes filled with scrutiny and caution.At this moment, Nicholas suddenly spoke, "I feel that we should stop the live broadcast. After all, what we are about to discuss is highly confidential."Robert had no objection to this; he was in the midst of contacting someone from the Mage Association when someone exclaimed, "The live broadcast has been cut off."Nicholas couldn't help but furrow his brows, looking slightly towards Ivan, the one who had just spoken.Aware of his blunder, Ivan quickly bowed his head, feeling a mix of embarrassment and frustration.The main screen in the middle of the table had indeed gone dark, leaving only a blue hue. Others, noticing this, raised their eyebrows, their eyes subtly shifting towards one another.They had just discussed turning off the live broadcast, and now it was off. This indicat
Others who heard Arthur and Nicholas's discussion felt a tingling sensation. In their words, a colossal family was casually treated as if it were a few gold coins in a gambling hall. They could even use it as a bet...Nicholas, after speaking, continued to gaze at Arthur. Arthur, seeing this, smiled slightly and nodded, saying, "Indeed, very fair. So, shall we discuss the method of the competition now?"Nicholas nodded, "Certainly, and the contract will be of the highest level."Arthur nodded without hesitation. At this moment, Robert looked at Arthur with some concern, and Riert directly said, "Arthur, don't you think you're deciding everything too hastily?"Upon hearing Riert say this, Arthur couldn't help but glance at him. Honestly, he didn't expect Riert to speak up and offer advice.Arthur smiled and replied in a low voice, "In any case, there's no other choice now."Riert, upon hearing this, furrowed his brows slightly. On the other side, Nicholas burst into laughter, say
The creatures that spilled out from the actual space crack were indeed killed by the Mage Association. Their speed was truly fast, with no casualties among humans, and the only thing destroyed was the government headquarters building. This raised suspicions among many. Was it that the Mage Association couldn't predict the appearance of this crack, or did they know but intentionally chose not to predict it? If not, how could they eliminate these creatures so quickly? Was it merely because they were powerful?Many in the government had such doubts, but no one spoke up.It was just their speculation, and currently, they couldn't confront the Mage Association. On the other side, the four major clans quickly returned to their flying ships. The other clans didn't feel any sense of existence in front of Nicholas.Nicholas frowned; he was still thinking about the recent events.He felt that something was not right with this situation. Although the truth was that Arthur had no talent i
