SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

"Phat…"

A loud slapping sound reverberated in the closed room, Larry. The patriarch, who held Larry's collar with his left hand, slapped his cheeks with his right hand. Even Joya was taken aback by the sudden aggressive reaction of her husband.

"Tell me, where is Ria? Yesterday, she went with you to the Arena. Where is she now?" The patriarch's eyes turned red as he glared at Larry with a murderous look.

More than missing, the patriarch is worried that someone might have violated Ria and gained the yang essence from her. That's why his demeanor changed entirely when he found that Ria hadn't come home last night. Enjoy new tales from m-v l'e|m,p-y r

The drowsiness in Larry vanished with one slap. He held onto his father's hand in fear and spoke in a shaky tone. "Father, believe me. She left me in the middle while I was speaking with Zi Chen during the night. I thought she came back home before me. I really don't know where she is now." Larry began sobbing like a child while trying his best to answer his father.

"Joya, assemble all the servants and send them to look for Ria. I will request the wizard club to send a search party for Ria. Hurry…" The patriarch instructed his wife, Joya, without moving his gaze from Larry.

Joya took a last look at Larry and ran away from the room to gather all the servants. The patriarch stared at Larry for a long time before tossing him back on the bed fiercely.

"I won't spare you if something happens to that lady. Think hard about what happened last night, and tell me if you remember anything about her." The patriarch showed a threatening finger and left, walking away from the room in long strides.

After the patriarch left, the sobbing face of Larry slowly changed into a mean, narrow look. Last night, Larry heard the conversation between Ria and Zi Chen. But he stayed unconscious purposefully, as it is not time for him to go against Zi Chen.

"Zi Chen must have done something last night. He won't say anything if I ask him directly." A murderous look appeared on Larry's face as he thought of a plan against Zi Chen. Moving his hands, he took out a small glass veil in the size of a finger from his storage ring. There is a black liquid moving inside that veil.

"Peng... Peng... Peng..."

Inside the training room, Kent releasing the arrow spells non-stop. The target boards were shaking due to the power of his spells. The training room placed in Kent's residence is a level five training room that can withstand strong attacks from a peak grand master magus. Due to his sudden rise in cultivation, all spells of Kent's became more powerful.

The surprising thing is that the Victor bow turned a golden color, and all seven lights lit up, showing his improved mastery over the bow. It is all due to his experience of fighting a massive war and wielding the phoenix bow.

Even though he lost the memory of spells, the skill and experience helped him a lot. After a long time, Kent put down his bow and took out the sky orb to check the situation at the Arena.

Surprisingly, no fights were going on at the moment in the central Arena, but it is filled with a large number of spectators. The images of Kent and Zi Chen were playing on Arora Glass, and the news of Fatty's 1:5 betting ratio is flashing from time to time.

"What time is it?" Kent muttered while staring at the crowd, which had gathered pretty early for the fight.

What Kent couldn't see is that there is still a large crowd lined up outside the Arena, before Fatty's gambling store. The total betting amount crossed 10,000 spirit stones due to a sudden deposit by a mysterious lady who placed 7,000 spirit stones as a bet!. No one knew about her identity, and she appeared very mysterious.

Even though Fatty hesitated to accept her bet, the arbiter lady preached him some bravery, and Fatty accepted those 7,000 spirit stones with shaking hands. If Kent wins this war, Fatty's wealth will reach a second-tier family in the capital city.

Sighing heavily, Kent closed the sky orb and began practicing the three legacy spells gifted by the dying phoenix. At first, he thought of checking forums to know what was going on. But after remembering the burning sect disciple who will appear everywhere to boast about their peak and Zi Chen, Kent closed down the glass orb.

But what Kent doesn't know is that the healing Sun Peak disciples are working hard to raise his fame in the forums by commenting on his deeds and scenes of his fighting in the Arena.

On the top of Burning Sun Peak...

The patriarch of the Chen family stood opposite to his son, Zi Chen. The peak master of the burning sun peak, Nicholas, is also there.

"Do you have any sense? The inheritance ground is not even one month away. Do you know how important it is? Our entire family future depends on you, and you were playing with your future." The patriarch roared angrily while controlling his urge to slap his son.

"Master Chen, please calm down. Zi Chen took a calculated risk. It is impossible for him to lose this match. Please trust your son." The peak master, Nicholas, spoke in a calm tone while holding hands with Master Chen in a friendly gesture.

"Pak master, you don't need to cover for him. He really did a careless thing. Even if my son wins this fight, people will prize his opponent, saying that he [Kent] is very low on cultivation and still fought bravely. And what if my son loses? Isn't it a shame for my entire family?

Where can I bury my face if that happens?" The patriarch spoke emotionally as he fell back on the chair and held his head in frustration.

After a long silence, Zi Chen opened his mouth to console his father. "Father, if I don't take this challenge and beat that fellow named Kent, he will continue to adhere to Sophia. I want to set that fellow as an example. Once I beat him like a dog, no one will dare raise their eye and look at my sister badly." Zi Chen spoke in a proud tone, like he is doing a sacred thing.
