SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

In the Chen family's back garden, near the tranquil rock pond, a somber scene unfolded as eighteen servants kneeled before the patriarch, his son Zi Chen, and his younger brother Baldie Chen stood with their heads bowed in shame.

"Why have you brought those 18 girls here?" thundered the patriarch, his voice dripping with fury. "I ordered you to confine them in the underground dark chambers. Do you realize the consequences of your actions? Who released them?"

Koti, with a bleeding face, dared to speak up. "Master Chen, a young man attacked me in the dark. I tried to fend him off, but he overpowered me. I even managed to wound him with my poison dagger. He should be dead by now. Please grant us another chance.

We will capture him and extract the information about the girls' whereabouts through torture."

The patriarch's face contorted with rage, his eyes flashing with fury. "You fool," he seethed, his voice cold as ice. "Do you not understand the gravity of your mistake? Those eighteen girls have a background; they can easily fend off any type of poison in this world."

With a swift motion, he lashed out, delivering a punishing kick to Koti's stomach, causing him to double over in pain. The other servants quivered in fear, realizing the severity of their failure.

"Zi Chen, take your sister and leave for your sect after midnight. Baldie, instruct all the family members to stay inside the estate for the next few days. Koti, take all the servants and close down our business for the night. From this moment onwards, guard the estate with your lives."

The patriarch declared in a serious tone. He felt a fear in his back when he thought about the revenge of the enemy to whom those 18 girls belonged.

"Patriarch, I'm really sorry for what happened. As today is Zi Chen's birthday, I thought of treating him to those 18 beauties. I'm really sorry, Patriarch." The boy kneeled before the patriarch and kowtowed with an apologetic face.

"Hmmhh… Idiot. Do you remember how much wealth we spent to capture those girls? Because of your mistake, today, our Chen family is going to face a new enemy." The patriarch cursed angrily and walked away to make preparations to protect his family.

"Uncle, first search this entire area with our spies. There is no other way to leave our estate. They must have left some clues while leaving the estate." Zi Chen said while walking away from the scene. His eyes were bloodshot with anger.

By this time, he must be enjoying a sweet time with alluring beauties. But all his plans were destroyed because of an intruder. He is the one who carried out this deal in the first place, convincing his father to spend a large sum to capture these 18 beauties.

Baldie took out his glass orb and called for all the experienced spies of the family to check out for clues.

Koti, ignoring his bleeding face, took all the servants with him to close down all the business properties of the Chen family inside the Golden Bamboo city.

"Did you know each other before coming here?" Kent, who is following the two beautiful ladies, was questioned with a confused look after seeing their closeness.

Both Lucy and Sophia stared at each other for a second and began laughing while staring at Kent's confused face.

"Sophie is also a disciple of the Eternal Sun sect. More than that, she is personal disciple of Lady Irene, who is the master of healing sun peak." Lucy replied, holding hands with Sophia.

Kent felt a blood rush while staring at the laughter of two alluring beauties. While Thea has a mature charm, Sophia has a scholarly look and cute cheeks.

"By the way, where are we going now? "For 20 moments, you have kept running from one stall to the next without stopping." Kent asked.

"Stop complaining. We are checking for the best craftsman to decorate the Fire Kirin. Even though all of them are good, we are checking for the best one."

With a sigh, Kent followed the two ladies, who were jumping around like small kids. Finally, after another 10 moments, they stooped before the stall of an old man.

Unlike other stalls, there are very few people at this stall. Not because of his low skill, but because of the price chart he placed on full display at the entrance of his stall.

"Elder, aren't your prices a little too much? Who will spend 1000 coins for a single piece of pet decoration?" Sophia, who entered the stall first, questioned the old man with a serious look.

The old man, who was shining a leather ornament, ignored Sophia's question.

The trio felt surprised by the old man's attitude. Sophia felt humiliated as the old man ignored her while standing inside her family grounds.

"Old man, I'm the daughter of the Chen family patriarch. You were standing here because of my father's invitation. You should learn to respect your customers." Sophia retorted with a serious look.

"Little lady, I'm just fed up with customers who tried to bargain my price. So, don't get offended. I'm the last of the Ronin family, and all my work costs multiple times more than the price I mentioned.

As a Supreme-Rank craftsman, I know the value of my hard work. So, instead of comparing me with others, look at my crafts. All of them can handle the attack of a mortal sovereign. If you think any of it is not worth the price, I will leave your family ground right away."

The old man said while continuing to work on the leather. He didn't even lift his head to see Sophia.

"Hmmhh… Lucy, let's go. There will be much better craftsmen in the next stalls." Sophia, who got irritated with the tone of the old man, began walking out with a serious face.

"Sophie, Wait… The old man is not speaking nonsense. Look at his crafts." Lucy stopped Sophia and picked a saddle that was sturdy and had an attractive color pattern.

Kent had already begun checking out the works of the old man, ignoring the tense exchange between the old man and Sophia.
