A few days later, the group from the Kenyth Empire, led by the red-haired Low-level Paragon, arrived in Metal City and flew to this place.",
As soon as they saw this city from above, the foreign group realized how different this place was from the kingdom's capital and other cities they had seen surrounded by Vicente's fences.
This place also had its fences, but it looked much more like Metal City 2 in the Kingdom of Eternal Dawn, which they had heard about through their contacts with the forces in the central region.
Seeing this place and feeling the impressive power that the city's construction had, capable of driving away powerful beings who tried to approach it the wrong way, the group was impressed.
They had expected great things from the Fuller Family's headquarters, but they were still impressed by the grandeur and power of this place.
They didn't admire the sight of this extremely secure area of the kingdom, and soon they were the only entrance to Metal City for people traveling on their own.
They attracted the attention of Vicente's men and the surrounding army, as it was not common for anyone to arrive in the cities of the kingdom as they did today. But once they explained their motives and where they came from, they were allowed to enter the city.
...
"This place is truly incredible! The mana here is 5 times stronger than outside the city!" said one of the Sky Sovereigns accompanying the red-haired man, Julian.
"Yes, and the local wealth is second to none! Just look at how well-groomed and beautiful the people on the streets are. This city is clearly doing well amid adversity.""The south seems to have exquisite women..."
While these men talked among themselves, Julian's attention was focused on the Paragons of this city, Lauren and Onyx, as well as the many local Sky Sovereigns.
Weeks after Vicente's return and the delivery of the resources his group had got in the north, including parts of superior vampires, the pills and potions from those resources had been distributed among the family members for several days.
In the past few days, several members of the family had advanced to the next level, with over 40 High-level Mages advancing to the beginning of the 4th stage and 15 magicians reaching the cultivation of Sky Sovereigns.
No one in the family had advanced to the 5th stage, and the Paragons in the group had not made any improvements in terms of power. Even though Lauren, Onyx, Erin, and Torne worked hard and used resources to improve their strength, it would still take them a long time to reach the mid-level of the 5th stage.
Even so, the local strength was far above the level Julian had expected, which impressed him at first until he understood where it came from.
'Vicente Fuller had hunted in the north before building the defenses in Trevora Kingdom and the Kingdom of Eternal Dawn. He must have returned home with plenty of resources for Mages and Sovereigns.' Julian correctly analyzed what he saw in this city.
But as he walked towards the city center, he noticed the aura of an old acquaintance of his, Heidi.
He turned his eyes in the direction of where Rory's mother should be right now and smiled. But he didn't change direction. Before dealing with personal matters, he had business with the Fuller family and the local leaders.
He made his way to the Fuller mansion, where at that very moment Nina was standing next to Killian, and Lauren with an icy expression on her face.
"Kid, if you defile her body with your filthy hands, I don't know what I can do..." she threatened Killian again, while Nina smiled bitterly at her fiancé.
Killian could only take Lauren's comments as a joke. But deep down, he knew Lauren was serious.
'What is it with this family? Do they have to threaten me every day?' He closed his eyes as he suffered through this situation and looked forward to his wedding day.
He hoped he wouldn't have to deal with this once he was married to Nina!
Eve smiled at Nina and Killian before offering advice. "You'd better get to college soon or you'll miss your schedule."
Killian thanked Eve before hurrying off with Nina.
As they left the Fuller mansion, they passed Julian's group, who had just stopped at the mansion, where Lauren and Eve were standing at the front door.
'These women are Dark Path magicians...' Julian realized as he felt Nina and Lauren's magical fluctuations. 'They must be Vicente Fuller's sisters.'
He had already done his research. Knowing Vicente had two magical forms and his sisters were Dark Path magicians, nothing was new to him.
Recognizing Lauren, he made a gesture of greeting and said. "Miss Fuller, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am Julian Bond, and I come from the Kenyth Empire. I have some important matters to discuss with your brother, Vicente Fuller."
Eve looked at the man and took a step forward. "Mr. Bond, please enter our property. Vicente isn't here, but I can help you with whatever you need."
Lauren said nothing as she walked back into the house, keeping her presence felt around these people, but letting Eve take over the situation.
Julian moved on with Eve, aware this woman was in charge there in Vicente's absence, but having said those earlier words so as not to disrespect the young Low-level Paragon there.
He sat down on a sofa while his companions stood behind him.
"What business do you want with Vicente?" Eve got straight to the point, while Lauren stood in the doorway of the living room, her arms crossed over her chest.
Julian didn't waste any time with his words, either. "I've heard about the things Vicente Fuller did in Trevora Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Eternal Dawn.
I admire what he did in those states, and I wish I could ally myself with him in the fight against the monsters. My group isn't as strong as his, but we have resources and brave people.
As long as he makes some weapons and armor for us, we'll leave some of our high-quality materials to the Fuller family. If possible, we can expand trade in the future, if there's a possibility of safe travel, of course."
"So that's it..." Eve understood what the group wanted.
