SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

After finishing everything, the manager placed the 1000 spirit stones before the patriarch and left the Gray family estate, after greeting Kent.

In the large hall, only the patriarch, Lucy, Manager Gus, and Kent remained. The patriarch stared at the empty hall with a solemn gaze.

"Lucy, take 10 spirit stones and hand them over to Gus." The patriarch ordered with a deep sigh.

"Master Liam, I don\'t want to leave you. Since my grandfather\'s time, my family has served you loyally. I don\'t want to be a sinner by breaking such tradition. It\'s okay even if you didn\'t pay me anything." Gus said in a hurry.

"Gus, you don\'t need to show pity on this old man. With your skill, you can become part of any aristocratic family. Don\'t waste your time here." Liam replied, dismissing Gus\'s request.

"Patriarch, if you don\'t mind, I can hire Gus." Kent proposed.

"Sorry, young master. I\'m not ready to leave the Gray family." Gus interjected in a determined tone.

"Elder Gus, I\'m not asking you to leave the Liam family. As I\'m leaving the silver leaf town, I need a loyal manager to look after my business accounts. Also, I\'m not changing the Gray family name for the properties. So, you are free to work for me while serving the patriarch. How is it? Is it okay for you?" Kent asked while staring at the patriarch.

Without speaking nonsense, Gus bowed and greeted Kent with respect. "Thank you, master. I promise on my family name that I will look after your business without partiality."

As the patriarch nodded, Gus became the manager of Kent Business in Silver Leaf City, saving time and energy for Kent in finding a capable business person.

"Gus, take Kent to our garden and explain all the ins and outs of the Gray family business. I want to speak privately with my daughter." Liam said in a serious tone while holding Lucy\'s hand.

After exchanging a look with Lucy, Kent followed Gus to the front garden. As Kent and Gus left, Liam picked up the bag of spirit stones and placed it in the hands of Lucy. -exclusive-content

"Father?!!! What are you doing?!" Lucy uttered in a shocked gaze while rejecting the pouch of spirit stones.

"Take it. This is my gift to you." Liam said, forcing the bag of spirit stones into Lucy\'s hands.

"Father, it\'s a lot of wealth. I don\'t need it." Lucy said it unwillingly.

"Lucy, don\'t reject this old man\'s gift. I know your heart. I don\'t want you to depend on that young man economically. You will feel burdened every time that young lad spends his coins on you. I want my daughter to be independent and strong." Liam said with fatherly love.

"But, father, 1000 spirit stones is too much for me. How can you live without this wealth?" Lucy asked in with a sad look.

"Shhh… Don\'t be sad. This old man doesn\'t need any wealth. You are my wealth. If you are happy, I will be happy here. By the way, did you pack everything for the journey?" Liam asked while touching Lucy\'s cheek with a smile.

Lucy nodded her head with eyes full of tears. "Good girl. It\'s better if you start early. Don\'t forget your father just because you have a boyfriend. Understand?" Liam said with a teasing smile.

Lucy\'s cheeks turned pink with shyness. She put on a sulking face and turned away from Liam.

"Okey… okey… I\'m sorry." Liam said hurriedly in a pampering tone.

After spending 10 more moments with her father, Lucy said good-bye to Liam and came outside to meet Kent.

By the time she came outside, Kent and Gus were in a serious discussion. Lucy dragged Kent away from Gus, and they both flew towards the "Idol plaza" on their own pets.

As they were having a delicious meal before leaving, Fatty came to give a sendoff and also to enjoy a free meal. Ben is in a super excited state, as his family agreed to his request to leave for the capital.

"Master, you won\'t believe it. I almost peed in my pants to reveal my request to my parents. But I never expected my father to agree so simply without any lashing. Definitely, that is the best moment of my lifetime." Fatty said with an excited smile while holding a meat stick.

Kent and Lucy were laughing nonstop, hearing the narration of Fatty. By the time they finished eating, it\'s already late afternoon. After paying the bill, the trio came outside of Idol Plaza. The white swan and Fire Kirin were waiting patiently for the long journey ahead.

Just as Lucy moved to mount her white swan, Fatty hurriedly stopped her.

"Sister, if both you and brother-in-law travel on one pet, you can save the energy of the other pet, and you might not need to stop for rest during the journey. How is it?" Ben suggested with a wise look.

Staring at Fatty with an angry look, Lucy turned towards Kent. Kent gestured for her to sit on his pet with a playful smile. Controlling the shy feeling, Lucy stored her white swan in her pet pouch and approached the Fire Kirin.

Holding Kent\'s hand, she mounted on the fire Kirin. Unlike her pet, which has a large base for free sitting, Fire Kirin\'s sitting space is very small. While Kent sat like a normal horseman with legs on either side, Lucy sat before him at a right angle.

As Fatty showed a thumbs-up gesture with a weird smile, Kent acted like nothing happened. Understanding the situation, the Fire Kirin flew with more jumping momentum, pushing Lucy into the embrace of Kent.

With blazing fires, the Fire Kirin rushed towards the outskirts of the silver leaf city. While holding on to Kent, Lucy guided the path.
