Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

"What did you do to him?" The Arena Master asked curiously after seeing Richard like he was frozen. He hadn't even noticed Richard's sneaky move since his vision was blocked by Vincent's body.

They only felt a few energy fluctuations from VIncent before he realized that Richard became like that. He was still in the motion of throwing the dart and they could see the purple liquid smeared on its tip. It is definitely a poisoned dart even without appraising the liquid.

Vincent smiled mysteriously.

This is his legendary robe's Chaos Night… He can maintain this for a minute but in Richard's mind, it was longer than that.

The only problem with this skill is that once the affected's body was disturbed, he will be able to wake up from the nightmare even if the one minute hasn't finished yet.

Of course, Vincent has no reason to explain his item's ability.

"It's just a simple trick…" Vincent vaguely answered.

Turhan made a bright smile after hearing Vincent's answer as he looked at the Arena Master.

"Alright… I'll take this guy to the interrogation room. Arena Master, you can now announce the winner of the duel."

The latter nodded at Turhan as he immediately announced the result of the battle.

"Richard can no longer continue and lost the duel. Vincent is the victor of this match!"

As soon as this was announced, the employees of the Black Tower cheered and applauded Vincent.

On the other hand, the people from the Zemin Clan had mixed feelings about this Victory.

They know that this duel is quite complicated from the beginning. Now, with the addition of the Eighth Sword, it became even more complicated!

They also felt the Patriarch's mood just now so they didn't dare to cheer for Vincent. There weren't even sure if the Patriarch was actually the one who ordered Xander to kill Vincent!

They didn't want to offend their Clan Head so they decided to remain silent at the announcement.

Vincent didn't find this surprising as he took a deep breath.

It wasn't over yet. He needed to draw a clear line between him and the Zemin Clan today!

The Arena Master has already received a hint from Turhan so he immediately turned to Vincent.

"Vincent, the winner of this duel, do you like to say a few words to your fans?" The Arena Master said as he almost chuckled.

"Yes, Arena Master. I would like to thank the Zemin Clan for allowing me to meet you and the Black Tower." Vincent said and everyone knows that it wasn't sincere at all.

He paused for a moment as he took out the bronze medallion that his Grandpa Raizen has given him.

It is the same medallion with an image of a winged serpent coiling around a mountain. This is the 'proof' that he has about prenatal engagement.

Many people realized what this item was and they immediately sighed.

As expected, he really wanted to assert his right to marry Miss Lesley…

This is what everyone has in mind after seeing him take the medallion out.

However, his next action stunned them…

He flipped it in the air as his cane smashed it into many pieces…

Crash~

They were shocked not just by the sudden destruction of the medallion but they realized that the attack he used was not simple… Normally, the bronze medallion would only be thrown away if it was smashed like that in the air.

However, upon contact with the cane, it immediately shattered into pieces!

Finally, Vincent continued to speak.

"Since none of us wanted to continue the marriage, we can forget about it. From now on, I'm no longer related to your clan."

Vincent didn't want to continue staying here anymore so he started walking away with Rem beside him.

Although he's blind and couldn't see their reactions, he still didn't like the feeling of being glared at by numerous people.

The crowd then looked at the VIP room above.

They don't know where Lesley was but they know that she's watching this battle. They waited for some kind of reaction from the Patriarch or any elders of the Clan.

However, none of them made their move.

No one spoke until Vincent was almost out of the arena…

"Very well… The Zemin Clan will no longer support you."

The Patriarch finally said as Vincent continued walking away.

'Support me?' Vincent laughed in his mind as he returned to his cabin.

***

Several days had passed after the duel and Vincent was finally informed that they were about to arrive at the Parason Continent where the Black Tower is located.

He has no idea what happened within the Zemin Clan after he did in the arena but it appears that Turhan stepped up to ensure that he wouldn't be attacked again. He even faintly remember that Tara had also taken action.

Anyway, it wasn't important now as Vincent learned a few things about the land they were heading to.

Based on Ayla's introduction, this continent isn't divided by kingdoms or nations. The continent's land is ruled by multiple organizations and one of them is the Black Tower which occupied the majority of the northern continent's shorelines.

Within the continent, there really were only six large organizations that has fixed borders…

The Black Tower, Solomon's Pillar, Red Alliance, Demonic Cult, Martial Arts Alliance, and Star Garden Peak.

If Ayla wasn't mistaken there should be over a thousand organizations within the continent but these six were the most stable ones or solid control of their borders.

If it was a land outside the six organizations, its owner can change every time once a stronger force made an appearance. Furthermore, their borders can easily increase or decrease depending on their strength or negotiation, or business skills.

Vincent wanted to see the map of the continent but obviously, he can't see it even if he wanted to.

He can only ask Rem to compare the Parason Continent to their Tudor Kingdom.

"The Tudor Kingdom is only a small island… Based on this map, the Kingdom wasn't even a third of the Black Tower's territory."

This was how she described it.

"Sir Vincent, Professor Turhan wanted to see you. He's currently in the main deck."

About half an hour before their floating ship docks at the nearest shipyard, a servant of the Black Tower came to his cabin.

"I understand… I'll be there in a moment."

Vincent then packed all his things within the cabin as he headed to meet Turhan.
