“Why do you need one million now? Are you planning any revenge on those girls?” Kent asked Fatty with a funny look.
“No master, the gambler’s syndicate is conducting a prize pool named “Inheritor’s Fortune.” All gamblers need to deposit one million mana stones to participate in that. The gambler whose master receives the inheritance will get all the deposited mana stones. If you succeed in getting the inheritance, our return will be more than $100 million!”
Excitement played on Fatty’s face as he explained details about Inheritor’s fortune to Kent. He didn’t put down his extended hand, as he believed that one million mana stones were sure to come.
As expected, Kent took out one million mana stones after a long pause and placed it in Fatty’s hands.
“If you go out next time, take Jabil with you. Understand?” Kent said.
Both Jabil and Fatty stared at each other with weird looks. Jabil left a loud sigh as he remembered his heavy journey with Fatty.

Inside a luxurious magical mansion that stood close to the wizard association tower, both Kelly and Julia stood before an old man with depressed faces.
With a grim face, ornamented decorations, and a long smoke pipe in his mouth, the old man appeared authoritative and commanding.
“Why are you gathering all the strong men of your family here? Do you forget who resides inside the wizard tower?” The old man asked in a serious tone.
“Master, you shouldn’t stop us. Me and my…” Julia tried to talk back to the old man. But with a snap, the old man muted Julia.
“I’m not your master, and you are not one to answer my questions. Kelly, answer me… Do you forget why you are here? Or do you forget the promise you made to your father?” The old man asked with a furious look.
Tears filled Kelly’s eyes as she remembered the promise she made to her father. Controlling her emotions, she lifted her head and replied, “I’m sorry, master. I acted on impulse. This won’t repeat again.”
The old man stared at Kelly for a long time. “Don’t be sorry. I know what happened at the gambler house. You don’t need to suppress your rage or fury. Wait until the inheritance ground awakened and finish that silly fellow once he enters inside.
That young man seems to be a body cultivator. He won’t be a match for you in weapon casting. After finishing off, move your focus onto the real task. Understand?” The old man asked while staring at Kelly.
Kelly clenched her fists and nodded her head in response to the old man’s suggestion.
“Very well… go and practice in your room. Also, your spoiled sister will stay in her room for the next two days. Do not let her out.
The ‘Supreme Spear Magus’ is here to look after the Inheritance ground awakening. As your family has past grievances with him, it’s better to act low.” The old man declared and walked out to meet someone.
After the old man left, Julia turned towards her sister with a sad face. But Kelly is not in the mood to care about Julia’s freedom. Kelly began cursing herself for acting on impulse.
“Sister, please let me go out. I need to meet my distant friends who came here from miles. Please…” Julia asked in a pitiful tone.
But her actions failed to succumb the elder sister. Kelly turned towards Julia and stared at her seriously. “Juli, did that fat guy really molest you in front of all people? Tell me where he touched you.”
Julia was perplexed with the sudden questions of her sister. She immediately put on a victim face and replied, “Sister, that fat fellow first tossed the soup on my face. While acting like a good man, he said he would clean the soup and placed his hand directly on my chest.” Julia explained while pointing her finger at her upper half of her shallow breasts.
Kelly felt like beating her little sister on the spot as she stared at the flat chest of Julia. But she controlled her frustration and moved into her room. Before leaving, she placed a bind in Julia with her staff to restrict her inside the mansion.
Loud cries of Julia came from behind. But Kelly ignored everything and closed her room door. Even though Kelly understood that everything happened because of a misunderstanding and exaggerated act of her sister, she didn’t let of her grudge on Kent.
As Kent smashed her pride in front of all people, Kelly decided to take her revenge in any case.

After locking his room door, Kent took out his Phoenix fire cauldron and began concocting powerful poison pills and elixirs mentioned in the Poison God Tome, which he received through poison god ritual inside the poison sect.
Till now, Kent restricted himself from making deadly killer poisons, as the poison god’s consciousness warned him not to depend on poison too much and only use it for saving his life and in necessary situations.
But today Kent decided to make those powerful poisons for added safety and to encounter the army of the KAN family if they really come for revenge.
His brows knitted as Kent began using the rare herbs and materials he purchased during auction. He paid 1.5 million mana stones just to get those rare, expensive herbs.
The Nirvanic origin flames burned like hellfire below the large phoenix cauldron. One after another, Kent began making poison of different potencies and dangers. He is extremely careful in extracting the poison.
Dark purple clouds filled the sky and began rumbling with lightening energy. Many people thought those purple clouds were signs of the inheritance ground awakening.
‘A middle-aged man who is silently cultivating inside the central tower of wizard association opened his eyes. Beside him a six-foot-long golden spear with a sky blue coloured diamond-shaped spearhead hovered in the air. [Supreme Spear Magus]
“Alchemy clouds…!”
Surprise filled the middle-aged man’s eyes as he stared at the purple-clouds rumbling in the sky.
