The Man’s Decree

“Okay. I believe in you.”This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Catina gave a firm nod. Initially, she was merely leveraging Jared’s bloodline. Never did she expect that after spending a significant amount of time together, she had genuinely fallen for him.

In truth, the Imperial Fox City had already lost its former significance to Catina. All that mattered to her now was being with Jared. She couldn’t ask for more.

“Alright, Master and Viola. You just got here, so you should rest up a little. Cloud has already tidied up the rooms, though they still look a little old.”

Feenix told Jared and the others to take a break.

“By the way, Cloud told me that Winona is from the Zeever family of Yannopolis, and that’s why you all came here together. I’ve seen how grand the Zeever residence looks, so why have you been assigned to such a simple place?” Jared asked, slightly unsatisfied.

“We only found out after we arrived that Winona had initially fled from the Zeever clan. That’s why they’re really hostile toward her. If the Foster family hadn’t occupied the Imperial Fox City, she wouldn’t have come back.” Catina let out a soft sigh.

“She fled from the Zeever family?” Jared appeared bewildered.

In a hushed tone, Feenix leaned in close to him, recounting what had happened to Winona.

Upon hearing the reason, all Jared could do was smile awkwardly in response.

Even these cultivators from the Ethereal Realm couldn’t escape the clutches of love!

Becoming immortal was simple, yet severing emotions certainly proved difficult…

With that, Jared, Viola, and Sigurd went to rest.

Meanwhile, inside the main hall of the Epean Alchemist Guild, the presidents of four out of the Five Great Alchemist Guilds were seated with serious expressions on their faces.

Only the president of the Northern Alchemist Guild was absent.

The heads of the four great families of Yannopolis were also present in the hall. This included Dylan of the Zeever family.

Hartwin Bellamy was present too. As the renowned Supreme Alchemist of Yannopolis, it was only natural for him to be part of such a meeting.

There were also heads of prominent medical families from various regions, amounting to dozens of people seated within the grand hall.

Every face was etched with seriousness.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I believe you are all aware of the situation caused by Medicine God Island. Now that we are gathered here, let’s discuss some strategies. What should we do about this? Should we hold the Alchemist Fair there?”

The president of the Epean Alchemist Guild, Thaddeus Surrey, posed a question to the crowd.

The silence was deafening; no one dared to speak. They all knew that the first to break the silence would face the most scrutiny.

After a considerable pause, Wyatt finally spoke up. “President Surrey, you understand the situation on Medicine God Island better than any of us. Tell me, if we were to defy them, would they really retaliate against our Alchemist Guilds?”

“They absolutely would,” Thaddeus responded without hesitation.

Seeing him so resolute, Wyatt was momentarily at a loss for words.

“Ladies and gentlemen, the power of Medicine God Island is something we simply can’t contend with at the moment. Even if we were to combine our forces, we still wouldn’t stand a chance against them. When the people from Medicine God Island came to speak to me, there were only three of them, but they were all Ultimate Realm cultivators. Moreover, I heard them say that their island is teeming with countless more Ultimate Realm cultivators. How are we supposed to compete against such a force?” Thaddeus exclaimed.

At this point, everyone fell even more silent. Some were inwardly anxious, their faces tense and breaking out in sweat.

“President Surrey, I fear if we venture to Medicine God Island, the people there might not let us return. Rather than reaching the island and ending up fighting them, it’s better to take the risk and stay. As long as the people from Medicine God Island dare come ashore, we’ll give our all and fight back,” Dylan proposed.

“Right! Once we set foot on that island, we’ll just be like lambs ready for slaughter.”

“Let’s give it our all. If they dare come back, we’ll fight them with everything we’ve got!”

“We mustn’t go!”

Many people began to echo Dylan’s words.
