It was mandatory, and they knew better than to refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, the carriage rolled to a stop in front of the Crimson Lotus Clan’s newly established main base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After paying the driver, they all walked in calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The place... Grey hadn’t had the time to properly scan the surroundings earlier due to the rush surrounding the portal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, he surveyed it carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging from the exterior and now the interior, the base appeared to be two stories tall with two distinct levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several doors lined the corridor on the lower floor, seemingly leading to different sections of the base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Ash, who had written to Grey a few weeks ago, the lower level housed various facilities ranging from a personal bar where the clan members relaxed, a few training rooms, a kitchen, a dining hall, and a meeting room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the upper floor contained their personal rooms— a place meant strictly for rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About eight rooms occupied the upper level, with every member having their own space and still an extra room left afterward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where they currently stood was the hallway on the lower level, having just entered moments ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I feel we should all go freshen up before we begin anything,\" Alba suggested as she glanced around the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several nods followed as they acknowledged her words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, everyone split up, moving in different directions to wash off the exhaustion, grime, and blood from the battle they had been involved in just moments earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, they grabbed something to eat and, as usual, went off in separate directions, choosing to chow down in peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment they were done, a few more minutes passed, and it was already past evening with the sky gradually getting darker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was when they all gathered in the meeting room, which had a round table dominating the center of the space, with about ten chairs surrounding it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No chair was higher than the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything was on the same wavelength as everybody took their respective seats, including Grey and Fenrir, who sat across from the Supreme Magus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room wasn’t that big—just a small space large enough to comfortably fit maybe twenty people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The curtains had all been drawn aside, allowing cool air from outside to waft gently into the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few lanterns dotted the area, bringing with them not just light, but warmth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everybody stared at each other, wondering how to begin and who should even be the one to start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey cleared his throat while glancing at Fenrir with a somewhat calm look on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t forgotten the short conversation they had in the beast world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mage’s words had kept ringing in his head over and over again during the entirety of their journey back here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fenrir, catching the mage’s gaze, let out a sigh while scanning the room, his eyes briefly lingering on the other members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know you all—the Crimson Lotus Clan. A fearsome independent clan of just seven members that somehow cemented its position as a reliable force,\" Fenrir began as he stared particularly at Alba for a few moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... If there was any reliable clan that wasn’t compromised, it would be yours. So I can confidently say everything I want to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by how much he hates the Otherworlders, I’m sure if you all were one, you would be six feet under by now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alba scowled at the remark. It felt as though her strength—and by extension, her clan—was being belittled by this strange man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, she forced herself to remain calm, knowing she needed to extract whatever information she could from the conversation Fenrir intended to have with Grey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I would appreciate it if you just got on with the reason for this gathering. I don’t have a lot of time, and I need as much information as I can get,\" Grey cut through the calm silence as he stared directly at Fenrir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... So begin. Who are you really? How do you know about the Otherworlders? Why do you hate them—and Orion?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did you say the Midnight Sun Clan is one of them? Everything. I want everything, and not a single answer withheld,\" he ordered as his left eye began glowing with fierce intensity while locked onto Fenrir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, the man wasn’t scared in the slightest as he stared back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few seconds of tense silence, Fenrir exhaled before finally speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Like I said, my name is Fenrir Stormspear. I’m the current vice clan leader of the Waterfall Clan from the Aetherian faction. And about my hatred for Orion—\" Fenrir paused, staring at Grey for a few moments before continuing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... I want to take him down because he was the one who murdered the creator of the Aetherian faction and academy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice lowered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He killed my mentor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wh—?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1109,"2026-06-05T15:21:41.579Z",1,"novelbin.me","4aca5f3b18e64d26c078ed8cd967fedce4b5f7d8d4ecabf5db340c2f88a9e38d","magus-supremacy-chapter-769","magus-supremacy-chapter-767",1068,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmagus-supremacy-cover.jpg"]
