Meanwhile, Thorold engaged in a pleasant conversation with Kiyu. Though the former was from the


    Deifirm Sect and thetter, the Grandiuno Sect, they shared a close association as leaders of


    Southsky.


    Thorold expressed his gratitude for the advice Kiyu gave prior. “Thank you for your guidance, mayor. I


    am very grateful that you-

    “Mister Thorold!” came a voice, interrupting Thorold’s sentence. “Severin has gone too far! I asked him


    toe and meet you, but he refused and said that you were not worth his time. He even threatened


    me and hurt me!”


    Everyone was shocked to hear that, especially Thorold’s followers. They were surprised that Severin


    had rejected Thorold’s invitation and went so far as to harm their elder.


    The Gahrrs‘ elders, who always believed themselves to be infallible, were outraged at the intolerable


    acts.


    “This is ridiculous! Allow me to drag Severin here and apologize to you!”


    “He must think too highly of himself if he could make such remarks about you!”


    “Death is the best punishment for him!”


    Thorold frowned at his moring underlings and snorted coldly as he held his teacup.


    “Be quiet!” he eximed as his face darkened with a murderous intent. “First, he rejected two direct


    entries into the sacredke. Then, he rejected my invitation to meet him. Let’s see if he can keep up his


    arrogance tomorrow!”


    A new day had dawned, and the day of the sacredke tournament had finally arrived. Severin, after


    spending the night with She, held his back as he walked out of the room. He had been ‘busy‘ the


    past few nights after she and his other wives hadpleted their seclusion. After freshening up and


    having breakfast, he went to the Chorteaus‘ hall with his group.


    Rourie and other Chorteau elders awaited Severin’s arrival, and Rourie was still a little rueful that


    Severin had rejected Kiyu’s proposal. However, he knew that dwelling on the past was of no use


    whatsoever, and the focus had to be ced on the tournament.


    Rourle took a deep breath and informed Severin, “Based on the information I received, there will be five


    participants each from the Gahrrs and Lischalts and about eight others from the other families. All are


    level nine royal saint attainment.”


    Severin listened attentively, knowing that the tournament was a significant event in Nontwo City. Many


    elders from sects such as the Grandiuno Sect would be attending the tournament as observers to


    ensure


    A vast crowd had gathered at the center of Nontwo City for the tournament. A nce across the


    tournament arena revealed many contestants who were raring to vie for a spot in the top ten. The


    stakes were high, and everyone was determined to secure a ce for themselves. Anyone who fell


    outside of the top ten would receive mere constion prizes like pills, spiritual stones, and spiritual


    weapons. Before long. Severin, his group, and the Chorteaus were led by Roune to the waiting area.
