He continued to tell everyone : “We are far from receiving the same benefits as the fighters and mages of the Sun Sect, in our Sect we have to pay for everything, even for the common dormitories and food, which does not prevent them from taking 70% of the income we earn in the dungeons.”
Kevin was stunned when he heard this and when he looked at Garry he saw him frown and said : “It seems that as time goes by, these old seniles have become more and more greedy.”
He looked at Liam and he said : “I know that Ian is now the King of the Demons and they will probably need you there too, but I’m really going to need you here to help them.”
Liam looked at Ian and Ian looked at Kerry who said : “Liam can obviously stay here and handle this sort of thing, the education of our demons is something we haven’t discussed yet, but with your experience as an instructor and Liam’s, I’m sure we can also create a system that will allow the entire younger generation to study in the best possible conditions.”
Ian then put his hand on Kerry’s shoulder and thanked him saying that now that their territory was stabilized it was time to put this kind of thing in place, and then he said : “Kevin, I think banishing the leaders of these Sect is far from enough, how about you seize 70% of all their possessions and use that money to create a much better educational environment for these students.”
Kevin smirked then and he said to Dilan : “I think Ian is right, it would be really unfair to let them off the hook so easily.
Seize 70% of their possessions and put them in the new Moon Sect and Sky Sect treasury.”
The instructors were shocked at this decision but they weren’t going to complain, they too had been more than taken advantage of by their leaders… ex leaders.
Kevin then looked at Garry and asked him : “Since a black market has naturally developed in these Sects, I think they’ll need Douglas’ benevolence and expertise to help them create a warehouse with fair prices for everyone.”
Garry’s smile widened and he said to Kevin : “My King, Douglas will be really happy to help them.”
After the matter about the Moon Sect and the Sky Sect was finally settled, Dilan then proposed to Kevin : “Now that our territories are at peace and that you want to make the border a place of exchange, why not organize regular tournaments so that our best students can meet the bests students of the demon territory and measure their strengths.
These kinds of tournaments will attract a lot of people from both side and they will motivate our students to excel.”
Everyone agreed and thought it was a great idea and after a short break Kevin finally spoke up again because there was one last issue that needed to be solved that he wanted to tell everyone about : “The last issue I wanted to talk to you about is the problem of the Shapeshifters, and more specifically this Raven who seems to want to make the Shapeshifters a separate community.”
Kevin looked at Axel and said to everyone : “We want to reintegrate all the Shapeshifters who have become isolated, in the army, in the Sects, or simply in the cities.
They can become guards, teachers, students, merchants, I’d like everyone to welcome them with kindness and help them find their place in our world.
Don’t forget that the Shapeshifters are part of the human race, and I wouldn’t let them isolate themselves any more than that.
Axel and I will visit them right after this meeting and see on the spot how we should handle them, but I guess if another Shapeshifter, and by that I mean Axel of course, can beat Raven, everyone should listen to us after that.”
Dilan then asked him a little worried : “Are you really going to meet Raven and his Shapeshifters just the two of you ? Maybe Kelan and Nolan could go with you or if you prefer you can bring Alan and Erik with you…”
Axel then put a hand on Kevin’s shoulder and he said to Dilan : “Don’t worry about us, Raven and his Shapeshifters are no match for us.
Besides, anyone who can turn into a wolf will follow me on their own, and as for the others, let’s just say that your King still has many trump cards at his disposal, so don’t worry unnecessarily.”
Ian, who was aware that Kevin could at any moment summon creatures of phenomenal power or simply call his fathers-in-law to the rescue, said to everyone : “Axel is right, let them deal with this problem and besides, Kev, you can tell them that the territory of the demons will be delighted to welcome them too, after all my husband is a Shapeshifter too.”
Kevin smiled and Liam then said : “I think we can call it a day then, we all have a lot of things to do and your King has given you your instructions so everyone get to work.”
Evy immediately joined Liam, Ian and Kerry and as she had already made her arrangements and was free today, Kerry agreed to introduce her to the members of the black market.
As for Liam, after talking with Ian, he decided to stay with Garry to help him organize the transfer of the students and instructors to their new location in the capital.
Dilan left immediately because he had a lot of things to do, and he immediately contacted his sons to help him.
As for the instructors of the other Sects, as long as their leaders had not been dismissed, they could not return to their respective Sects and so Kevin told them that they could stay as long as they wished at the Royal Palace while waiting for that to happen.
When everyone was gone, Kevin then asked Axel : “Is the core of this world willing to help us or do we have to find their hideout by ourselves ?”
