SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

Chapter 554 The Pledge of Loyalty

The situation inside the cave was torn between hesitation and doubt. They were at a crossroads, torn between obeying Kent, the young leader who had just revealed his vision for their future, and the uncertainty of forging their own paths.

The harsh reality, however, was that surviving outside the current situation seemed impossible.

Everyone's gaze was fixed on Kent, their faces a mix of curiosity and apprehension. It was then that a petite figure, no more than three feet tall with a

youthful

appearance, stepped forward.

"Young One, My name is Kumari. My family, the women of our clan, are cursed to never grow beyond three feet or never get old. But it is not just our physical limitations that have defined us; it is the tragedy that has befallen us. My precious family was wiped out by the Quinn family."

Kumari's eyes locked onto Kent's, her gaze piercing. "Before I pledge my support to you in this quest for revenge, I must ask you one question."

Kent's curiosity was piqued, and he nodded for her to continue. "Please, speak your mind, My Lady."

Kumari took a deep breath before posing her question. "If we succeed in this war and take our revenge against the Quinn family, will you be the one to occupy the throne and lead this 7th realm?"

The room fell silent as all eyes turned to Kent, awaiting his response. The weight of Kumari's question hung in the air like a challenge.

After a moment of contemplation, Kent spoke, his voice clear and resolute. "I will not occupy the throne. This 7th realm will be a free land for everyone to live a happy life. A collective association of strong men, under the name of the Wizards' Association, will take the lead. Many realms follow this rule, and it will be our path once we defeat the current ruling family."@@@@

As the main minister of the palace continued to speak, Emperor Ryon's face turned a deeper shade of red, his anger barely contained.

"Underground tunnels? How could this have happened under our noses?" he thundered.

The minister tried to explain, but the emperor roared angrily to shut the minister's mouth.

"Stop your bullshit. I am not a kid to listen to your sweet talking. Definitely, a member of the Royal Palace Guards helped with this culprit. Otherwise, how could anyone miss the sounds of someone digging under their feet?"

The room fell silent, the tension palpable as the emperor's words hung in the air. The main minister swallowed hard, knowing he had to tread carefully.

"I understand your concerns, Your Majesty. However, we must consider all possibilities and investigate thoroughly. We cannot jump to conclusions without evidence."

Emperor Ryon's anger boiled over once more. "I don't want to believe any one of you from now on. Execute a realm-wide blockade. Stop using all teleportation Gates and ask people to stay in their homes for the next three days.

Go to every home, every place, every mountain, and every tree in my kingdom and find the culprit in any case. Issue a command to all the 33 Kings. I want them to search with all their army and training people to find the culprit and the escaping prisoners."

The room erupted into a flurry of activity as the orders were relayed and the ministers and guards scrambled to comply.

Due to the new command of the emperor, the 7th realm business and activity is going to pause for 3 days and there will be big losses of revenue. But Emperor Ryon was not in a state to think about this as the name Jamba Zi, keep fearing him.
