SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

Golden Bamboo City...

Inside the monkey wine palace, Zi Chen, Larry, Ria, and the three people who got defeated in Kent's hands gathered around a big round table. It is a private, isolated room.

To compensate the three guys who faced defeat, Zi Chen gave them 100 spirit stones each. On the other side, Larry, who sat between Ria and Zi Chen, put on a grim face without saying anything. Ria silently drinking the wine, as she felt out of place.

After some time, Zi Chen gestured silently to the three guys to leave. Soon, they left, leaving Larry and Ria. While Larry stared dazedly, Zi Chen picked up the wine bottle and continued to fill Larry's glass.

"Why are you serving me? please stop." Larry politely denied. But Zi Chen grabbed his cup and poured more wine.

"You really did a good job. This is my treat. Just enjoy the fine wine without complaining." Zi Chen said while gesturing for the server to bring another bottle.

With a hesitating look, Larry picked up the glass and drank the wine slowly. Ria felt something is odd with Zi Chen's behavior. But she stayed silent.

"By the way, Larry, why didn't you increase the betting ratio? As I'm destined to win, you won't lose anything, even if you announce it as 1:10. Don't you want to earn a large sum from this fight?" Zi Chen asked while eyeing Ria from the corner of his eyes.

Larry shrugged before replying. "Gambling is all about risk. While you have a 99.9% chance of winning, who would take the 0.1% risk of going against you? So, there is no use, even if I say it as 1:20. No one would dare to bet." Larry replied in a drooling tone.

Zi Chen continued to let Larry speak while filling his glass with wine. Time passed slowly, even though Ria tried to stop Larry, it didn't work. So, Larry fell on the table with a drooling mouth. Zi Chen tested Larry with some loud calls.

After confirming Larry's situation, Zi Chen's gaze fell on Black Belle Miss Ria. He directly grabbed her wrist, stopping her from waking up Larry.

"Zi Chen, what are you doing?" Ria cried out in a serious tone while trying to pull her right-hand wrist from his grip.

"Why are you resisting? You can get a better life by siding with me." Zi Chen replied while eyeing her lustfully.

"Stop speaking nonsense. I'm the promised bride of Larry. Don't you feel shame to touch your friend's bride?" Ria questioned with a scornful look.

"Hahaha… do you think this gigolo is worthy of my friend? I just want to make him my servant, as he belongs to the Moonbrook family. This idiot became a gambler instead of a fighter, even after having a powerful Moonbrook family background. You will only suffer by being with him.

Also, I'm not asking you to leave this fellow. You just need to satisfy me for one night. I will support you in the future. Don't forget that my Chen family is the number one wealthy family in this city." Zi Chen replied while licking his lips with a lustful stare.

Ria felt disgusted after hearing his words. Raze burned in her heart as Zi Chen asked her to spend the night like a happy house servant. With gritted teeth, she used her left hand and took out an inscription plate from her storage ring.

"Bastard, leave my hand." Ria shouted angrily while holding the inscription plate tightly in her other hand.

Zi Chen's heart skipped a beat as he saw the purple-colored forbidden inscription plate, which could blast the entire place along with him and Ria. He hurriedly left her hand and moved to the corner out of fear.

"Ria, be careful, if you use that, not only me, but you and Larry will also face severe consequences." ZI Chen replied while thinking of ways to escape.

"I would prefer dying if you try to touch me again. Remember, my name is Ria Semen. One day, you will pay for what you did today." Ria spoke angrily and left, walking away from the Wine Palace.

Zi Chen released a heavy sigh and kneeled on the corner with shaking hands. He wondered where a small-town girl like Ria got a forbidden inscription. Even the Chen family has only one forbidden inscription, which is reserved to save the family from danger.

After coming out of Wine Palace, Ria didn't go for the Moonbrook family. Instead, she continued to walk randomly without any thought. Tears shimmered in her eyes as she remembered how she got humiliated.

She used to be proud and arrogant in the silver leaf town with her superior strength. But in the capital city, she felt inferior to everyone. Several thoughts ran inside her brain as she muttered about gaining strength and stomping on people.

As Kent reached the top of the rising sun peak, he saw a note left by Peak Master Porus. He told him to take a rest until he called back in the middle of the night. He also mentioned, not to worry about tomorrow's fight.

Kent stood there for a long time, as he did not understand where Peak Master went, and Peak Master also mentioned that he would be called back in the middle of the night. Shaking his head, Kent mounted his pet and moved towards Healing Sun Peak.

A bit of disappointment played on Kent's face as he thought of taking the guidance of Peak Master for defending inheritance spells. Kent, who doesn't know that Peak Master Porus is preparing a big opportunity for him, left the rising sun with a dull face.

While he is moving slowly through the healing sun peak, several disciples actively greeted him with a respectful look. But Kent just waved his hand and ignored their active approach.

Soon, he knocked on the door of his residence. The door opened instantly, and Sophia appeared before him with a serious face. But Kent, who is in a disappointed state, just moved past her and walked towards his room, where Amelia is resting.

After seeing his exhausted state, Sophia paused all her questions. She first thought of acting a little tough as her love was discussed in front of the entire crowd.

While staring at the ground, Kent slowly walked to the swinging chair beside the bed and fell back on it. As he turned his gaze, Kent felt surprised as he saw Lucy, who sat beside Amelia.
