525 My piece of advice for you
That was why their parents absolutely wanted them to enter the Sun Sect which was now the new Sect being favored by their King.
To continue to be able to grow their family business, they needed the support of their new King, only like that could they keep their auction houses good reputation… And use the name of the King to attract rich people to buy their goods.
But this is something Irina didn’t foresee… How could Kevin be the new King when he just started his apprenticeship? How could he possibly use the 7 elements, it was impossible…
Chris then said to answer both Nolan and Axel: “Well, my little sister and I are here to try to negociate in order to enter the Sun Sect, since we didn’t pass the tests to enter the Capital’s Academy.”
Nolan then said to Kevin and Axel: “I don’t know his sister, but Chris is a good friend of mine, he often came with me to the border and fought alongside us… Moreover, he is a Mage who can use the light element, and he has helped heal a lot of soldiers each time he has joined us, he is a good and brave man.”
Kevin and Axel then looked at Dilan who told them: “I was about to tell Chris that he was welcome in the Sun Sect, as for this girl, like Nolan told you, I don’t know her either, but as I just reminded their parents, their daughter can apply in all the other sects or wait for the former Capital’s Academy to establish a new sect, they will try to get their old students back anyways.”
The aura of Axel then became threatening just like the one Phil demonstrated earlier, and he grabbed Chris’s father throat before slamming him against the wall which cracked under the strengh that Axel used.
He then said as the women started screaming: “It seems that this man didn’t learn his lesson, I’m going to say this just once, leave the capital and never come back, you’re not welcomed here.
Your family was powerful only because you had the support of the former King who valued money more than people, but this period is over, we will give everyone equal chances to open a business, there won’t be any monopoly anymore and you will have to change your habits if you want your business to stay open.
I will give you one week to leave the capital, after that don’t ever try to come back here, understood?”
He then let the man go, and he showed them the door for them to leave.
Irina before following their parents then told Axel and… Kevin: “You might be strong but you will see soon enough that you need a lot of resources to run a whole territory, you will need the money, the resources, and the power that the powerful families who live in the Capital had, when this time comes, my family will be ready to help you…”
Kevin then chuckled and he told them: “I think being a mage really doesn’t suit you, you should just stop your apprenticeship and work in your family business… As for the money, the resources and the power needed to run both the human and demon territory, do not worry about us, we have more than enough to handle everything on our own.
Now this is my piece of advice for you, my husband is so powerful that he can hear easily the thoughts of the people as weak as your father, and even if I don’t know what your father’s thoughts were, I can easily guess them.

Irina then clenched her fists but the new King had made up his mind and so, she bowed her head to him.
Time will work for them, soon Kevin who was clueless about how to run a city will come ask for help, she was sure of that, before leaving she asked her older brother: “Are you not coming with us?”
Chris then told her: “Our new King is right, you should be the one to inherit the family business, I never cared for it and always managed on my own, so don’t worry, I’m not going to start asking you now to share our parents’ money.”
Irina smirked then and she told him: “You’re going to regret this decision Chris.”
Chris didn’t add anything but as soon as Irina left to join her parents, Chris heaved a sigh of relief and Kevin then said to him: “Since Nolan and Dylan have recognized your value, you can stay in the Royal Palace until the Sun Sect is settled, then you will have to follow the same rule as everyone else, is that understood?”
Chris then bowed before saying: “Yes, my King, I will work hard to be able to become one of your personal guard!”
Kevin then looked at him surprised and he asked him: “Is that your goal?”
Chris nodded and he rolled up the right sleeve of his shirt that hid his arms.
Kevin then saw the characteristic black bandage of the resistance, and Chris also removed it, showing them that the pentagram was well tattooed in the hollow of his wrist.
Chris then said to Kevin as he knelt in front of him: “Serving you my King has always been my goal, I hope one day I will be strong enough to be of some use to you.”
Kevin then held out his hand and while helping him up he said: “I’m sure you will Chris, welcome to the Sun Sect.”
Nolan then said to Chris: “Come with me, I will show you your temporary room, our new King and my father still need to take care of something important.”
