Reece knelt on the ground at the moment, his expression frozen upon hearing Wilbert's words.

He did not expect to be abandoned so easily.

Reece couldn't understand, even though Herag was a Level 4 Wizard, the Taylor Family didn't need to fear him. One person couldn't possibly contend against the entire Taylor Family.

What he didn't know was that Wilbert had a deeper understanding of Herag's power, knowing that Herag's strength had reached an alarming level.

Though the Taylor Family indeed had the background to fight, it wasn't necessary for Reece.

In such circumstances, Wilbert's choice was a natural one.

Herag nodded and said, "A wise decision, saves me some trouble."

He extended his hand and flicked his fingers, a thick bolt of lightning descended from the sky, instantly turning Reece into a pile of white ash.

Herag deliberately controlled the force, avoiding creating a crater in the ground.

After all, this was Vernon's home, no need for destruction.

His current control over his power was already very skillful, retracting and releasing at will.

This move shocked everyone around, Wilbert stared at the pile of white ash on the ground, unable to imagine that there was just a living person there moments ago.

Wilbert couldn't help but feel grateful for making the right decision; Herag's strength might be even greater than he estimated.

The Taylor Family has been around for so many years, not by being run by brainless people.

Proper humility can ensure the family's longer future.

The Taylor Family has gone through similar situations before.

To be precise, the Wizard Organizations and ancient families in the Land of Dawn today were actually just minor characters before.

Herag chose not to obliterate the entire Taylor Family because it would be too troublesome.

There are so many people in the Taylor Family, it's impossible to eradicate them all.

More importantly, it would lead to more trouble afterward.

Herag's current status was different, and he found such disputes tedious.

He just wanted to resolve the matter without hassle; he didn't have much time to waste on these trivial matters.

Since the Taylor Family chose to bow down willingly, he could be more relaxed.

Of course, if the Taylor Family wasn't honest in the future, that would be a different story.

"Herag..." Alec looked at Herag with a complex expression.

Alec was a direct subordinate of Dawn Mage Mick, at the same level as Parker but didn't manage a particular city; he worked directly under Mick.

Herag also knew Alec; they had crossed paths in various social occasions before, but hadn't had much interaction.

"Mr. Alec, I think we should reclaim what's ours, Silver Moon City should belong to Parker's line," Herag said.

Alec looked troubled; although he was a confidant of Mick, he didn't have that much of a voice.

Regarding power partitions, he had no say.

Herag continued, "Please help me get in touch with those few from Serlandir; I would like to discuss some matters with them. By the way, I am now an official member of the Sixth Ring Tower. Since Serlandir has already removed me, there's no need to retain the Serlandir identity."

Alec was surprised when he heard the words 'Sixth Ring Tower'; he obviously knew the Sixth Ring Tower still existed and was aware of the existence of the Boundary Land.

Just didn't expect Herag to be an official member of the Sixth Ring Tower; Alec seemed to realize many things in an instant.

He finally understood why Herag could disappear so cleanly and progress so rapidly.

If Herag had connected with the Boundary Land and became a member of the Sixth Ring Tower, many things would make sense.

In this light, even without Herag's current strength, merely the identity of the Sixth Ring Tower was enough to deter many.

Alec realized this matter was indeed beyond what he could handle.

He told Herag, "Please wait, I need to inform Lord Mick about this."

Herag wasn't in a hurry and said, "I'll be here for a while, let me know if there's any news."

"Okay, Mr. Herag." Alec unconsciously showed much more reverence towards Herag, far more than when he sensed Herag's strength a moment ago.

He was more aware than anyone here of what Boundary Land was and knew the power of the Sixth Ring Tower.

...

That night, the events that took place in Vernon Mansion had spread throughout the Land of Dawn, and even reached the Barren Land.

Level 5 Wizard Herag, Taylor Family's Reece killed on the spot, Taylor Family bows down...

A series of events spread, most people initially hearing the news reacted in disbelief.

No matter which part of the news, it seemed too bizarre, making it hard to believe.

But the Taylor Family's follow-up reaction, along with corroborations from various sources, confirmed the authenticity of these messages.

Two days later, Wizards in both the Land of Dawn and the Barren Land were aware of these matters.

From Serlandir's side, seven or eight top figures were deployed, including Dawn Mage Mike, Red Witch Aria, and Dark Horror Reduin.

These three were the highest rulers of Serlandir and hadn't gathered together for many years.

Now, these people arrived at Silver Moon City's City Hall, in a room protected by utmost secrecy, with Herag sitting at the highest position, waiting for the meeting to begin.

To the left of Herag sat a lady wearing a wide-brimmed pointed hat, dressed in a red body-hugging skirt, with a curvaceous figure, this was Red Witch Aria.

Red Witch Aria was younger and prettier than Herag imagined, without that aura of an old spirit, looking just like an ordinary young lady.

Aria seemed to have no hostility towards Herag, she smiled at him and said, "You're really young, have you been to Boundary Land?"

Herag nodded and said, "I've been."

"I've also been there, it's indeed a nice place. If it weren't for not being able to stay long, I would want to live there," Aria seemed to yearn for life in the Boundary Land.

"By the way, is there any policy for permanent residence for family members in Boundary Land now? If there is, how about I marry you?" Aria leaned on the table with her arm supporting her head and winked at Herag.

Herag glanced at this old woman, surprised by her unexpectedly playful personality, lacking the morbidly stagnant vibe of someone who's been alive for thousands of years.

He laughed, "Seems there is indeed, but Miss Aria seems to already have a husband, and not just one."
