With her participation, Dragonscale Bank is determined to win this Battle for Dominance,\" the Grand Steward explained, glancing at Elise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his words fell, Elise's expression shifted into one of deep complexity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of thought, she resolutely declared,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No! Imora, you absolutely cannot participate in this battle! Come back with me now! The forge has already been sent to headquarters. Continuing with this is…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elise reached for Imora's hand, intent on taking her away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Imora deftly evaded her grasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've already had the forge recalled. I became aware of your actions through the family and couldn't believe you would go this far! This plan has been over a decade in the making for Dragonscale Bank; it cannot end here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the plan succeeded, not only Imora but also her entire family would receive immense rewards. Imora herself might even secure her path to tier-sage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In a few days, the forge will arrive in Sunken City,\" Imora said, looking directly at Elise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I never imagined, Elise, that after all these years, you would become so timid and weak!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you seriously frightened by some small, insignificant force? Have you forgotten the honor of our family?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Imora's words dripped with contempt, as though she were speaking to a stranger rather than her sibling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elise clenched her teeth, unsure of what to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you're that scared, go back to the family and stop embarrassing yourself here!\" Imora sneered, her expression brimming with disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand Steward, who had been wavering, decided not to interject. Reno also remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Imora's appearance had diminished the weight of Elise's warnings in their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragonscale Bank had invested too much in this endeavor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Imora's presence, victory seemed assured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elise glanced at the others, her eyes filled with profound disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything she had said was true, yet no one was willing to believe her—not even to the point of verifying it themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What more could she say?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of silence, Elise quietly left the meeting room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew there was nothing she could do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elise could only hope now that Daniel was unaware of these events and that no one from Crossbridge Academy had been dispatched here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this battle concluded, no matter what, she would take her sister away to ensure Imora didn't remain in this dangerous situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragonscale Bank was bound to make a move on Thousand-Household City in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When that time came, they would have to face Daniel's wrath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking her head, Elise left the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a hallway corner, Elise passed by a general manager of Dragonscale Bank. The manager greeted her enthusiastically, his demeanor full of cheer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Elise wasn't in the mood and simply nodded in acknowledgment before quickly leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good news, everyone!\" the general manager announced upon entering the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? What news?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not long ago, someone came to Dragonscale Bank and bought all the pure fire stones and fire crystals. Every single one, paid for entirely in mana stones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha, now\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>that\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>is excellent news!\" Reno exclaimed, clearly pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Dragonscale Bank, nothing was more valuable than mana stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, with the forge's arrival, its operation would require massive amounts of mana stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Imora's presence has already brought us luck!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Elise was unaware of these developments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had she stayed and heard this, such a familiar extravagance—buying everything with mana stones—would have immediately brought a single name to her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the center of Sunken City lay a massive pit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From above, it appeared bottomless, though in reality, it wasn't.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pit contained numerous winding paths, allowing one to descend deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't a straight drop; its twists and turns made it feel like navigating a rocky and uneven plain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Occasionally, subterranean flames and molten lava would erupt, showcasing the world's violent power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During major flame tides, weaker mages often perished in such natural disasters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the risks, the pit remained a magnet for mages, drawn by the lure of fire stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During a flame tide, even fire crystals could emerge in abundance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For many, acquiring even a fire stone was enough to exchange for valuable treasures at Dragonscale Bank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel and his party arrived at the pit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their goal wasn't fire stones but fire crystals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fire crystals purchased from Dragonscale Bank were insufficient for Rose, just as Daniel had expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, they decided to gather more here, with Rose in tow. Enjoy exclusive content from empire\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others joined simply out of curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel, however, had his own agenda: he wanted to investigate the rumored secret realm at the bottom of the pit, as Nora would need to venture there for the upcoming battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rose, I'll help you find fire crystals!\" Nina exclaimed before dashing off ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel didn't stop her. A place like this was a fine playground for Nina to explore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No harm could come from it—or so he thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby mages smiled upon hearing Nina's words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A little girl looking for fire crystals?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fire crystals weren't something one could just stumble upon. Even finding them wasn't enough; acquiring them required more than luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment a fire crystal appeared, every mage in the vicinity became a competitor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a shout echoed from the front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fire crystal!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd's eyes snapped to attention. Where?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blinding, searing light burst forth, so intense it seemed to burn their eyelids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fiery red bird streaked into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd immediately recognized it: only a fire crystal could emit such intense heat and even take on the form of a bird in flight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quick-thinking mages began casting spells, preparing to capture the fire crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before anyone could act, the fiery bird seemed to collide with an invisible force and plummeted from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confused murmurs rippled through the crowd, but their eyes stayed locked on the fire crystal as it fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before anyone could reach it, the crystal landed neatly in Daniel's hand, transforming into a solid, fiery-red gem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd's initial envy and greed were quickly quelled by an overwhelming chill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An invisible aura radiated from Daniel, suppressing the fiery ambitions in their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if they had been thrust from a boiling cauldron into a frozen tundra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some still entertained the notion of challenging him, unwilling to believe his luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One such mage cast a spell and charged toward Daniel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd didn't even need to guess what happened next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mage met an immediate and unequivocal end.\u003C\u002Fp>",1136,"2026-06-06T15:56:16.255Z",1,"novelbin.me","e01574cf2b169decfe2fabbbfa720205278d3aaa640cafee5cafcf5215945d59","imprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-chapter-141","imprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-chapter-139",734,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-cover.jpg"]
