Chapter 523 A Talk With Mother!
7th Realm's Royal Capital City...
7 Moons Royal Inn..
Kent lay on the terrace of the 7 Moons Royal Inn, staring at the night sky.
The purple-hued sky was clear, with two bright moons casting an ethereal glow over the silent streets of the Royal Capital City below.
The capital city is under deep sleep, sharply contrasted with the storm of ideas and plans swirling in Kent's mind. Sleep was a distant concept.
With the Trident Summit looming only two months away, Kent felt the preparation still not enough. He knew nothing about the other two locations for the summit beyond the battleground of ancient gods.
But what troubled him more was the Sun Moon Eclipse Arrows legacy art. The key to mastering this power lay in the five mountains, but to get there, Kent would have to pass through the forbidden army.
And then there was the royal treasury.
He smiled to himself, the thought of robbing it before his departure to the Spirit World tempting him like a thief drawn to gold. But how could he pull off such a massive heist? No concrete plan had yet formed in his mind, only vague ideas and reckless ambition.
His thoughts wandered to his father. Kent always anticipated to see a different father than his mother described. But emperor Ryon showed his true colours on their first meeting.
A flicker of light interrupted his thoughts. The newly purchased inter realm glass orb on the small table beside his bed glowed softly, casting a golden hue across the terrace. Kent sat up, puzzled.
"Who could be contacting me at this hour?" he murmured.
He reached for the orb, activating the communication link. The golden light intensified before revealing the familiar face of his mother, Madam Clark. Her image flickered briefly on the screen, her expression unreadable.
"Mother," Kent greeted her with a warm smile, though he couldn't help but notice her neutral tone as she began speaking.
Intrigued, Madam Clark leaned in closer. "What is it?"
Kent's smile grew, a glint of mischief in his eyes. "Have you ever heard of the Titan Crystal Tree?"
Madam Clark froze, her face losing color as she stood from her seat. "What?! Kent, are you serious? You've found a Titan Crystal Tree?"
Kent nodded slowly. "Yeah. It is being extracted and soon I will take full possession of it. Also, it is a suprior grade Titan crystal, and grew 10000 feet in legth."
Madam Clark placed a hand on her chest, trying to steady her breathing. "Do you have any idea what kind of power you now hold in your hands now? With it you can buy an entire realm to yourself. Are you sure you want to give it me?"
Kent blinked in surprise. He had known the tree was valuable, but not to this extent. "I didn't realize it was that expensive. I just thought it would make a nice gift for you."
"A nice gift?" Madam Clark laughed incredulously, shaking her head. "Kent, this tree could change the course of nations. With it, we could gain an immense advantage in the upcoming war. But... it also makes us a target. Every power in the realm will want that tree. You must be careful and don't leave any traces of this news. Anyway, we can think of what to do with it later. First focus on securing it safely."
Kent frowned, the weight of his mother's words sinking in. "I'll keep that in mind. I won't let it fall into the wrong hands."
Madam Clark nodded, though her worry was still evident. "I trust you, Kent. Just... be careful. The road you're walking is fraught with danger, and you're attracting attention from all sides. I don't want to lose you."
Kent smiled softly, touched by her concern. "I'll be fine, Mother. I promise."
As their conversation drew to a close, the golden glow from the orb began to fade. Madam Clark's image flickered one last time before disappearing, leaving Kent alone on the terrace once more. He sat in silence, staring up at the twin moons, his mind racing with the weight of the revelations and plans that now occupied his thoughts.
