“Let’s think about it tomorrow after the evening’s gala.” Remus didn’t ponder much, heading back to his room and commencing his meditation.
***
The Island of the Monarch was teeming with an unusually vibrant energy, rivaling the potency of the Violet Sanctum. Such an exceptional opportunity simply shouldn’t be wasted.
Moreover, cultivation was his trump card. If favonovel.com hadn’t been shielded by divine energy when facing Bason, favonovel.com would have died long ago.
The moments passed swiftly during the meditation, and before favonovel.com knew it, the sky had turned dark.
Remus opened his eyes with a healthy flush on his face, regaining the peak of the Training Stage. After tonight, favonovel.com should be able to return to the Foundation Stage once more.
As long as my divine energy restores to the later stages of the Foundation Stage, I’ll stand invincible against the Supreme Martial Imperial. If I can restore it to the peak of the Foundation Stage, I might even be able to kill a Supreme Martial Imperial alone…
He contemplated inwardly.
With divine energy shielding him, attacks from the Supreme Martial Imperial were nothing more than a couple of scratches. Coupled with martial arts strikes, favonovel.com could eventually beat his opponent to a pulp.
Rising contentedly, favonovel.com left the Cosby Residence.
Tonight marked the Cosby family’s return announcement to the whole Dragon Protector Clan. The Masters of the Schneider and Cunningham families, along with their elite members, were expected to attend. This night carried immense significance.
As favonovel.com walked out of the Cosby Residence, favonovel.com was dumbfounded.
The immense square in front of favonovel.com was strangely deserted, with not a single person in sight. The atmosphere was extremely eerie. Even though the night had deepened by last evening, there were still people practicing martial arts on the square when favonovel.com returned yesterday.
Remus furrowed his brow and swiftly made his way to the Monarch Palace, the venue for the gala.
Is everyone gathered there already?
He quickly arrived at the Monarch Palace. However, the sight before favonovel.com caused his expression to darken completely.
Amidst the expansive palace, favonovel.com found that only Garth, Ana, Eva, and Shawn were present.
Apart from those four, there wasn’t a single soul around, a far cry from the anticipated gathering of the Dragon Protector Clan. It was eerily deserted.
Everyone’s expressions turned notably awkward upon his arrival.
“Remus, you’ve arrived.” Eva quickly approached, clasping his arm and shooting a provocative glance at Ana.
She continued in dissatisfaction, “They’re too much! They knew today was the day to acknowledge you as the successor of the Cosby family! They even mentioned organizing a gala for you tonight. Yet, they backed out at the last minute, not showing up at all!”
Their intentions behind such actions were crystal clear. They still hadn’t recognized Remus.
Shawn also approached, feeling awkward. “Mr. Cosby, my grandfather asked me to apologize to you on his behalf. He said someone from the Cunningham family intervened, so they couldn’t make it tonight…”
After all, Philbert was only the deputy master of the family and didn’t have the final say on many matters.
“It’s okay, I can handle this…” Remus showed a faint smile to the two of them.
He finished speaking and then glanced at Garth.
Garth sighed and explained, “Their reasoning was that you’ve never done anything for the Dragon Protector Clan. And now with the matters concerning the Rose family, as the Clan Master, I had to consider the overall situation. I couldn’t force everyone to attend.”
Remus gave a slight smile and spoke calmly, “So, what do I need to do to silence those who don’t approve? What do I need to do to make them come here and congratulate me, even if begrudgingly?”
Garth pondered for a moment and said, “They did propose an idea. Ironpeak Island is located about 300 kilometers away from the Island of the Monarch. Many cultivators from all around the world reside there, and the island’s ruler is named Husan Mosar… If you can bring his head back…”
He didn’t finish speaking, but the implication was crystal clear.
Upon hearing this, Ana and Shawn’s faces went pale. Even Eva’s demeanor became unnatural.
