SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

Inside the brightly lit hall of the Stokes family...

Fatty Ben stood before the dining table, where his mother and father sat opposite him. As Ben revealed his intention of going to Golden Bamboo City, the faces of his parents turned grim.

On one side, Ben is shaking nervously, worried that his father would beat the shit out of him. Last time, he just missed the onslaught due to his mother. Otherwise, he could have beaten Red for selling the family land for 200 gold.

On the table, a small pouch of gold coins is placed as a witness to his earnings in the Sky Family Combat Tournament. Fatty Ben is observing his father from the corner of his eyes, getting ready to escape from his slap.

But before his father Liam, could react, his mother, who always supported him, erupted with a loud cry. "Ben, the capital city is a very dangerous place. I won't allow you to go there. If you want, stay inside the home, your father will take care of earnings. We will also marry you to a beautiful girl."

But Fatty still stood like a wall, waiting for his father's response. Ben is confident that he could convince his mother, Noma. But his father's decision is final in the house. While staring at his father, who is looking down at the shining table, Ben gestured for his mother to calm down.

"Liam, why are you not saying anything? He is our only son. How can we let him go to that dangerous place? Ben, listen to Mother. You don't need to take this dangerous path to earn coins. Promise me that you won't leave home."

Noma, Ben's mother, walked around the table and reached Ben with an extended hand. Streaks of tears flowed down her worried face.

Ben felt a little guilty while staring at his mother's face. "Mother, stop crying. It's just a capital city, which is just two days away from here. Also, I'm not leaving permanently. I will definitely visit you regularly, and in the future, I will stay with you guys. Please understand my ambition." Ben said in a serious tone while trying to convince his mother.

But his mother is not in a state to be convinced by his words. With a loud wailing, she moved towards her husband, Liam. But just as he turned back, she saw Liam standing up from his seat.

"When are you leaving?" Liam asked directly while staring at Ben.

"F-Father…!!!?" Ben's eyes went wide as he turned his head and stared at the determined look on his father.

But before Ben could confirm what his father asked, his mother erupted with an angry roar. Her emotional sobbing turned into fury when it came to her husband. "Liam, what nonsense are you speaking?! Aren't you worried about his life?" Noma asked while staring with bloodshot eyes.

"Noma, calm down. I stayed in this small town all these years for the sake of taking care of my parents and family. I don't want my son to become a frog at the bottom of the well." Liam declared in a serious tone, ignoring the emotional outbreak of his wife Noma.

"But Liam, what if something happened to him? Who is there to protect him? The capital is not a small place and is filled with swindlers. Our son never left this city. How do you think Ben would survive in that cruel place?" Noma questioned Liam loudly in a worried tone as she gripped his hand.

"That's not a problem. I will ask my brother's family, who are living in the capital, to take care of Ben if something happens. Also, our son is not a child. He will learn to adjust in that place." Liam said in a consoling tone while touching the chin of his wife, Noma.

"I won't trust your brother's family. Do you think they still remember you after so many years? They didn't even come to see your parents when they died." Noma complained while turning away from Liam.

Ignoring his wife's sulking, Liam turned towards Ben. "So, when do you plan to leave?" Liam asked while staring at Ben.

"Father, mostly before this weekend. I befriended young master Kent, who won the Sky Family Tournament. He is leaving for the Eternal Sun sect. I want to follow him along." Fatty replied in weak tone while controlling the excitement.

Liam fell into a thought after hearing Ben's response. "Ben, wait until I gather some coins. I will personally drop you off in Golden Bamboo City and introduce you to your uncle's family. After that, you can go wherever you like." Liam said, as he is thinking of arrangements he could make for Ben in the capital city.

After a little thought, Ben bowed before his father and accepted his suggestion. Noma, who failed to stop the release of Ben from family, made an angry grunt and went inside her room.

"Ben, console your mother. She is definitely going to cry until midnight." Liam suggested, while picking up his coat, to leave the house. Ben nodded in response and went to console his mother.

Gray Family Pet Store...

On the 13th floor, a fire Kirin and a white swan were standing before large bowls of food and happily munching with a loud noise.

In a short distance, Kent and Lucy sat side by side on a small wooden plank. Kent nostrils were filled with the feminine scent of Lucy, who is almost touching his shoulders.

"Why are you looking dazed? Are you worried about something?" Lucy asked while observing Kent from the side. Kent, who is staring into the horizon, thinking about the Lionheart locket and his aunt Eila's reaction, hurriedly turned after hearing her voice.

"What did you say?!" Kent asked with a confused look.

"Shhh… No doubt, you are definitely worried about something. What is it?" Lucy asked with a curious look.

"What?! No… Nooo… I'm just thinking of the capital city and the Eternal Sun sect. As it is my first time leaving the silver leaf city, I'm a bit obsessed with it." Kent replied, covering his story with lies.

Lucy placed her palm over his hand and said, "Relax... The sect life is 100 times better than this school life, and there are many interesting things in the capital city.

By the way, which elder did you get recommended to?" Lucy asked, as she is a former disciple there, she wanted to tell Kent about the Eternal Sun sect.
