Chapter 709 - 653: Thank You (2/2)

Still, she has Maria, Robin, Rey, and the others by her side. Their support helped her greatly and made her what she is today… someone fit to be the Vice-master of the MoonStar sect.

In the couple's absence, she was the one who managed this city, made it prosper, and recruited appropriate disciples from all over the globe. She took care of the political and financial part of the sect, and though she's a mage, she still looks tired all the time, with large black circles under her eyes.

Thanks to the elixirs and skill books and cultivation scriptures Arthur had previously handed to her, Sonia was able to reach the Immortal Realm, further extending her lifespan and making her stronger. However, she wasn't interested in power for she found joy in managing the sect and doing what she's best at.

”We've not had much time to talk you and I.,” Said Arthur, his hand raised ever-so-slightly, casting an effective healing spell that restored some color to the woman's face.

”Well, we don't have much to talk about, right?”

Sonia put down the pen and gave a faint smile, her back slumping back on the comfortable and large chair she was sitting on.

”I saw a woman standing by your bedroom. Did one of the clones return?”

”Yes, he did… and unfortunately brought with him a slave succubus. Lucy and she are currently talking.”

”So you came to me for advice? You do know that I'm still single and bad with matters concerning romance, yes?”

Upon seeing the odd and helpless expression on the man's face, Sonia giggled, finding it comical to see a tough and ruthless man such as Arthur behave like this.

”I guess it is true that all men are afraid of their wives.”

”Honestly, it's not my fault.”

”Yes yes, that's what they all say.”

”But it isn't though. It was the clone who messed up. I was with Lucy the whole time.”

”Then try telling her that.” Sonia said, her laughter never stopping..

”You can't. Lucy is just too overprotective of you, always getting jealous. It's not a bad thing, you know. I sometimes envy you guys.”

”Really? I thought you're not interested in marriage and love.”

”All women yearn for love but it's just not for everyone.”

Sonia sighed and looked outside of the window, which was on her right. Her gaze fell on the plateau, which was starting to fill up as the competition was resuming after a good night's rest.

”I'm sure that, if you look, you'll find a man suitable for you.”

”No thanks, I have my job and I am more than satisfied with it. Maybe in the future.”

”Sure, but if there's a man you fancy then tell me right away. I'll drag him to your doorstep if necessary.”

”Hehe thanks, Arthur.”

After a short bout of silence, in which both looked at the plateau, Sonia spoke again.

”Thank you. For everything.”

”You don't need to thank me. You're part of the family.”

”After what I did to you and Lucy… I tried to kill you two yet you saved me countless times. You saved the Clan and gave us refuge. I owe you guys my life.”

”There's no need to be so dramatic. We did what's right. You, your sister, your clan… you're good people, deserving of a good life. I believe that we helped each other, through thick and thin, up until this moment, and hopefully in the future too.”

”Yes. Thank you again.”

”Okay, now you seriously have to stop thanking me.”

Arthur laughed and stood up, waving his hand at Sonia as he left the office.
