Chapter 86 - Ozuna City (2/2)

After realizing all this, Shad had decided to train and strengthen his body all over again to increase his stamina and endurance so he can fully use the red lightning energy.

Currently, there was an immense power within him but because his body wasn't strong enough, he could not unleash his full power. Also, after he has fused with the eye of the red lightning dragon, his mana has drastically increased as well. Right now, when Shad reverted his red lightning energy back into mana, the amount of mana was comparable to that of a 7th class mage, but because of his unique situation and constitution, Shad could only be considered as an early 6th class mage at most. However, when he uses the red lightning energy, even a 7th rank warrior or a mage would have some trouble in defeating him.

While Shad was undergoing his morning training session, a small black hole suddenly appeared within the courtyard and a devasting beauty came out of it.

” Di you get it?” Asked Shad without even looking at the person coming out from the black hole while being immersed in his training.

” I am sorry young master, but Lady Lisa couldn't get the rest of the books from her family, especially after the rumor of the treasure left by Henry in the Black Mist Forest. Also, she asked me to tell you that she was truly sorry for not being able to help you any further.” Answered Monalisa with an apologetic look on her face.

” It's ok, she has done more than enough and next time you see her, tell that I owe her a favor for her help.” Answered Shad with a disappointing look on his face.

After he has heard the rumor about the treasure left behind by Henry in the southern region of the Mulan Kingdom, more precisely, the Black Mist Forest, Shad was in rush to read the rest of the diaries because he knew more than anyone esle that the rumor circulating about the treasure in the black Mist forest wasn't baseless. Henry had indeed left something there, but it wasn't a treasure like they thought but the Pod that he had used to make it into this world.

Shad didn't care that there were a lot of people looking for it even though there might be something of value inside, what bothered him the most was the fact that they had found someone out there that could read Henry's diary. In another word, someone had already beat him to it and already know everything about what Henry had left behind.

Shad knew the importance of Henry's research and his findings which was why he was a little worry about those things falling into the hands of someone else other than him.

” Monalisa, I want you to go back to to the imperial capital and tell my great-grandpa that I want to talk to him urgently,” Shad said after making a decision.

” Yes young master,” Answered Monalisa. she looked very tired and her face was a little pale.

Seeing the look on her face, Shad couldn't help but felt a little guilty. Monalisa was his most trusted subordinate and also the person that worked the most even without possessing any actual combat power.

During the fight against the bandits, it was because of her that the Lightning Corps was able to move to one village to another in a blink of an eye which allowed them to keep up with the bandits attacking many villages at the same time and day. Aside from that, she was the one that was running Shad's all errands as he trusted her the most and her ability allowed her to get things done in a flash.

Before Monalisa could even open the portal to travel to the imperial capital, Shad quickly moved next to her and softly kissed her on the lips in front of all the Lightning Corps and said: ” Please forgive me for making you work that much.”

This sudden kiss took the bold Monalisa off guard. She was completely flushed, especially when she saw that the members of the Lightning Corps including the four imperial knights were looking at her.

She quickly opened the portal and left in a flash without saying anything like a cat that had her tail stepped on. Even though they have done it already, but no matter how daring she was, she was kinda shy being kissed like that in public. Nonetheless, she was very happy right now because her young master had truly accepted her if he was daring enough to kiss her in front of people.

” Mark, after you are done with your training, I want you to take the Lightning Corps and give the Marquis a hand in handling the security of the city.” He said before he went inside to change himself and head out.

Even though Ozuna City was governed by the Tulip Family. However, in the last ten years, the Tulip family's overall strength has gone down the hill. They have lost many of their talented soldiers, generals, and younger generations fighting against the bandits and beast tides to keep the city safe from harm.

Currently, among the two powerful nobles family that resided in the city such as the Arthur family and the Ascathon family, the Tulip family was the weakest of them all. While the Tulip's family overall strength was slowly decreasing, the other two families were getting stronger and stronger and even control more than half of the city.

Furthermore, even though the Tulip family was considered as the overlord of Ozuna City, it was in name only. The true ruler of the city was none other than the two families. There was always disputed between them and the other two families even tried various methods to lower the Tulip family's prestige in the city as well as their power.

As such, Shad knew that they did not have enough manpower to secure the city with all these people coming in. He didn't really care about what family rules the city or their fight, as long as they were loyal the Mulan kingdom and the Djage Empire. Furthermore, he did not plan on getting involved.
