SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

Hanging Pearl Palace

Kent sat alone in the central hall, thinking about his future. He doesn't know when he can meet his aunt or where she lives. Whereas, there is more uncertainty in his thoughts when he thinks about elder Porus and his enmity with the Poison clan.

He felt a little empty when he remembered Thea, who had already left the silver leaf city. He never expected that both Thea and him would leave the silver leaf city one after another. -exclusive

The Lionheart locket still lay in his hands as he stared at it dazedly.

"Shhh… I better start preparing everything for departure." Kent muttered with a deep sigh as he stood on the same sofa where the yin-yang battle occurred last night.

Kent decided not to sell the hanging pearl palace, as in future he might come back to Silver Leaf City. Keeping his thoughts aside, Kent began checking out each room in preparation for his departure.

Except for a few daily needs, there are no valuable things inside the palace. It's not even been a month since he bought this palace. But he is already leaving it alone.

After checking out everything, Kent decided to visit the old wooden house where all his memories were attached. Just then, his sky orb vibrated with an incoming tinkle. As he saw the image of his aunt, Kent hurriedly answered, settling down on the sofa.

"Hai, Aunt…" Kent replied with a stoic face, unlike his usual smiling face when he received his aunt's call.

"Sorry, Kent. I shouldn't have disconnected like that. I'm just shocked that you possess that item." Kent's aunt Eila replied in a sorry tone.

"So, you know this item?" Kent asked while showing the Lion head locket in his hands.

"Yes…" Eila nodded his head. "That locket won't be useful to you now. But when you become Mortal Sovereign Magus, it will help you to quickly reach the Supreme Magus realm." Eila said while taking a closer look at the lionheart locket in Kent's hand.

"What…?! How did such a powerful item end up with Grandma?" Kent uttered in a shocked gaze. "Also, Thea said it belongs to me. By the way, do you know about Thea? Aunty." Kent asked in a surprised tone while digesting the news about the small locket in his hands.

"Yes… I know her from childhood, and I have already gathered all the information for your safety. Legally, that heirloom in you hands belongs to you. That locket confirms your identity and your relation to your father clan. But there is also a danger involved with it. You must not show this to anyone randomly." Eila said in a serious tone.

"Wait, how is it related to my father's clan?" Kent asked with wide open eyes.

"I can't answer your question now." Eila replied sharply, dismissing Kent's question. "Not only that, I can't tell you any details about your mother, her suffering, or her fight against your father's clan.

One thing you need to understand is that your life is always in danger from your father's clan. So, be careful with that heirloom. Do not show it to anyone in any case. Do you understand?" Eila said with a serious face while staring at Kent's face in the projection.

"Why…? I'm not a child anymore. Why are you hiding all these details from me? I still didn't know how I ended up in this small place. How many days are you going to prolong this mystery?" Kent questioned me with an aggrieved look.

"Until you become a Supreme Magus. Without strength, you are just a burden to your mother. Without strength, you can't do anything. Why do you think your powerful grandma died like a nobody in that small town? To protect your life.

To save you from the clutches of Asura slaves, she took a dagger to her heart. If your father clan knows your location, your mother might need to sacrifice hundreds of lives to save you. So, stop asking questions and become strong enough to save your life on your own."

Kent's world turned upside down with the lashing of his aunt. Even though she didn't explain everything to Kent, She left several clues in her lashing, so that Kent would understand the danger.

A deep silence filled between them as Kent became silent, absorbing the seriousness in his aunt's angry remarks.

Eila, who felt that she acted more than needed, controlled her emotions and changed her tone to calm down Kent.

"Kent, I didn't mean to blame you for what happened. But I…" Before Eila finished her sentence, Kent interrupted her with another shocking thing.

"I also found this one along with the locket." Kent showed the transparent crystal orb, which contained a tree-like structure inside along with spell inscriptions.

Eila stared at it for a long time, and she asked Kent to show it from all sides. But even after observing the orb for a long time, she failed to identify the crystal orb.

"What sort of things did that old lady steeled from the Quinn family before leaving?!" Eila muttered while trying to identify the glass orb in Kent's hands.

"Kent, I don't know what it is. I will inquire about it. Until then, keep it safe with you. By the way, did you spend all the coins?" Eila asked, putting all the headaches aside.

"No… Aunty. But I want to buy a big business in Silver Leaf Town. Can you send me 10500 spirit stones urgently?" Kent asked in a requesting tone.

"Ohh… That's good news. I actually wanted to buy a few business places in your name so that you could understand the function and management. It's good that you asked me earlier. I will deposit 15000 aura stones on your golden piggy card. Use the remaining for business operations." Eila said in an encouraging tone.

Kent smiled in response and said, "Aunt, tomorrow night, I'm leaving for another place called Golden Bamboo City. I got a recommendation to a sect called 'Eternal Sun sect'."

Hearing his responses, Eila really felt happy. She warned him to maintain a low key in the sect and suggested not to reveal about his parents or family to anyone.

Soon she disconnected the tinkle, and just after ten minutes, Kent received an alert in the sky orb for deposited aura stones.
