Chapter 2191 Report

The next day brought new developments as Magus Rosia, Chumo, and Yuria returned from their respective tasks. Emery wasted no time in gathering his friends and the officers of Terra City to discuss the situation. The meeting was held in the Terra hall, with the atmosphere tense but hopeful.

Magus Rosia, tasked with investigating the legality of the Nephilim claim on Terra's land, presented her findings. She had delved into a labyrinth of bureaucratic and historical complexities, uncovering crucial information.

Eight hundred years ago, Lord Izta had completed his 1,000 years of service to the Nephilim faction. With his earnings, he purchased the land and established the Terra faction. Like any fledgling faction, Terra needed substantial backing and a guarantor. Given his ties to the Nephilim family, Lord Izta was forced to rely on their support.

Rosia's investigation revealed that about 300 years ago, the Terra faction faced severe financial difficulties. During this period, the ownership of Terra's land temporarily reverted to the Nephilim faction as collateral. For a few years, the Nephilim faction held ownership of the land until Lord Izta managed to repay the debt and reclaim full ownership.

Magus Rosia revealed a critical complication: the Nephilim claimed they never received the repayment from Lord Izta, and the records supporting these transactions were mysteriously absent from the capitol building's archives. This revelation caused a stir among the gathered officers and friends.

Emery immediately recalled the document mentioned by Victoria Qin during his infiltration of the Croft family estate, a piece of information he had already shared with his inner circle. The others couldn't help but see a connection between the missing documents and the Nephilim's current claim.

Speculation buzzed around the room as they discussed the possibilities. Many believed that the Nephilim had either destroyed or hidden the crucial documents to strengthen their claim. However, without concrete evidence, their hands were tied.

Hearing this, Grand Magus Fantasme shared her concerns. "Lord Emery, while your strength and the support from Zodiac City are reassuring, Terra needs more Grand Magus warriors. Our current strength is barely that of a peak grade 1 faction. Not including the Nephilim, even fighting the full force of the Croft family would be foolish. We need more allies."

Emery nodded in agreement, acknowledging her valid point.

The Qin and Croft families were grade three factions. Although they didn't have any Supreme Magus within their ranks, they still had a dozen Grand Magus, which was a significant concern. To be completely safe, Emery needed at least three Cosmos Grand Magus to support him or another major ally within Golden City.

His thoughts returned to Tessa and the Karat faction.

Turning to Yuria, who had been tasked with investigating the Karat family situation, Emery listened closely as she provided her report. Yuria explained that there was an inner conflict within the Karat family, forcing Tessa into hiding. Yuria had been unable to locate her, but she had managed to get in touch with Armand, who had become one of Tessa's trusted guards. She expressed hope that they would receive news soon.

While the tension in the meeting room lingered, Emery received a sudden guest; Cedric the apothecary senior who manages his apothecary shop. His face was grim as he delivered the alarming news. He held a letter in his hand, his face filled with frustration and concern.

Emery read the letter and found that the council's decision was harsher than expected—they not only rejected their application to remove the 5-year penalty but unreasonably demanded the immediate closure of the apothecary shop.

"Emery, they've sent people to seal the shop! What should we do?!"
