Chapter 343 - Spiritual Essence. (2/2)

There must be some kind of catch.

But since he didn't have enough information, he shrugged away his thoughts and continued to spectate from the side. He didn't plan to join no matter how attractive their offer was.

”We don't have all day, hurry up! Make your decisions now. They will change your whole lives.”

The Elder shouted as he hit his wooden stick on the ground. These people were really too slow.

”Uh- I will join...” the youngest-looking man responded hurriedly.

”Me too,” an unimportant woman beside him raised her hand as well.

Berk clicked his tongue as he noticed everyone jumping to accept their 'generous' offer. Nothing in this world was free, they would soon find out. He couldn't ally himself with any faction without fully understanding the power structure of this new Realm.

When it came to Sarah, she shot a glare in Ozul's direction and decided that it was her best choice to surpass the man who killed her father.

'Hm?' Ozul glanced towards her as he noticed a burning glare directed at him, 'When did I provoke her...'

Nothing came to his mind as he noticed the blonde girl also accepting the young man's offer following the confident man beside her.

Sarah didn't avert her eyes when Ozul looked at her. He was the man she had already sworn to defeat.

After seeing him battling the Sovereign on such a grand scale, she had felt hopeless. However, now that they were all starting from the beginning, she had good chances of surpassing him and ultimately getting her revenge! She smiled, feeling the presence of Aakal right beside her.

The Sovereign couldn't accept serving under another human. She had no intention of accepting their offer. Since the start, she hadn't asked for anyone's help.

”We already expected you to refuse. The Beastkin all need time to adapt to this new lifestyle. You can change your mind whenever. In addition, I can tell you that you can find other Beastkin close to forests. You might even find Beastkin's settlements in case you don't believe in our sincerity.”

The young man explained patiently. His offer was obviously only limited to the Sovereign. It seemed that even among everyone here, the Sovereign was coveted.

He didn't receive any response from the red-haired lady who looked nothing like a Beastkin, but he didn't seem to mind it.

Zier noticed everyone accepting their offer and was about to do the same as well but stopped in his tracks when he remembered that Ozul, Raven, and Blaze had yet to say anything. He closed his eyes unconsciously and prayed that they would accept. He didn't want to choose between the two.

Unfortunately for him, Ozul had no intentions of saying anything. From their attitude, it was obvious what their choice was.

”You should accept.”

A voice came floating from the side when Zier was looking at the ground with slumped shoulders.

When he looked up, he was met with the most soothing yet frightening eyes he had ever seen.

Ozul wanted people to work for him, so he had no problem accepting this kid. However, he also didn't want to waste his time grooming someone from the start.

Seeing the hesitation on the kid's face, he urged him to join the royalty. He could feel that Zier would go far in the future, and since he already owed them his life, it wouldn't be a problem to make use of him later.

'Actually, now that I think about it... I can't trust these people,' Ozul remembered how all the organizations made people swear oaths that bound the people to them. There could be something similar in this Realm as well, so he couldn't risk it.

”Nevermind... Don't accept.”

”Huh?”

”Hey! Hey! If you aren't accepting, fine! How dare you stop others!” the young man suddenly shouted as he heard their conversation.

”I am not forcing him, and don't shout. It's annoying,” Ozul looked at him with a deadpan face and reprimanded like an old man sick of all the youngsters in his old age.

The young man looked around, embarrassed for losing his composure. It was then that the Elder decided to cut in.

He looked at Blaze and spoke, ”Don't you want to understand more about your special constitution? Even I cannot contend against the Imperial Masters. You don't need to follow anyone to reach greatness. In time, no one will be your match!”

The Elder then looked between Raven and Zier, ”I promise you that you will soon surpass this fellow that you are so keen to obey. Past relations are past relations. This is an opportunity for you, think carefully....”
