Chapter 104 - -Mental Distress Compensation

As Clinton’s soul perception spread out, the situation within the fortress quickly surfaced in his mind.

Two Heroic Rank female Awakeners.

And two Ascended Rank Awakeners!

Sensing the presence of those in the fortress, Clinton was utterly shocked.

The fortress indeed had a considerable number of people, but all of them were elites!

Leaving aside the three Ascended Rank Awakeners he had already detected, those two Heroic Rank female Awakeners—though young—had already reached such a level.

Even top-tier forces would struggle to produce such supreme prodigies!

Moreover, there was that Ironback Centipede, a spellbeast that had survived two waves of Thunder Tide!

And that rabbit with an extremely peculiar aura!

This fortress was too extraordinary!

It was far too powerful!

It completely exceeded Clinton’s previous expectations.

"No, this place is too dangerous. I need to leave immediately!"

After careful consideration, Clinton concluded that this was a place beyond his comprehension!

However, at that moment, an extremely eerie and chilling aura swept over from afar. Everyone’s souls trembled slightly, sensing an immense and terrifying danger!

Immediately, Robert, Aiden, Anastasia, and Victoria all rushed over from different directions, fully alert.

Under their watchful eyes, a figure wrapped in a fearsome aura charged into the area.

"Finally, I’m back!"

Ethan stopped before the fortress, standing on a Level 9 Forge, holding a Ghost Box in his hands. The bone-chilling aura that unsettled their souls was emanating from it.

Seeing that the berserker Ethan had suddenly acquired such a bizarre aura, everyone was startled.

Especially Clinton, who immediately recognized the abnormalities in Ethan.

Particularly, the Level 9 Forge beneath his feet and the Ghost Box in his hand.

He looked like an unrivaled menace.

"Senator Ethan, where did you get that evil artifact in your hand?"

"You haven’t been corrupted into a dark cultivator, have you?"

Anastasia and the others all focused their attention on the Ghost Box.

The aura emanating from it gave them an immense sense of oppression.

Upon hearing this, Clinton, who had been quietly remaining vigilant, was even more taken aback.

Such a terrifying individual was also a senator of this fortress?!

What else was there in this fortress that he didn’t know about?

"Velen, how did you return before me?"

Seeing Velen already present, Ethan’s face flashed with surprise.

He had managed to return so quickly only because he used a special secret technique.

But how did Velen get back even faster than him?

Then, his gaze shifted to Clinton standing beside Velen.

"Velen, don’t tell me this guy is another senator you brought back to the fortress?"

The aura radiating from Clinton was rather unique, exuding a powerful sense of oppression, clearly distinguishing him from ordinary Awakeners.

At this moment, Anastasia and the others also shifted their focus onto Clinton.

Velen glanced at Anastasia and introduced him with a smile, "Lord Anastasia, this is Clinton. He is a Soul Master who has survived nine waves of Thunder Tide. From now on, he will be a senator of the fortress."

Upon hearing this, Anastasia and the others were utterly astonished.

Did they hear that right?

A Soul Master who had survived nine waves of Thunder Tide?!

That statement was difficult for them to comprehend.

Logically speaking, someone of Clinton’s level should have long since entered the Upper Plane Universe!

And Soul Masters were an incredibly rare and powerful class.

With both factors combined, Clinton was undoubtedly one of the most extraordinary Awakeners in the galaxy!

Yet Velen had managed to recruit such a powerful figure into the fortress!

They could hardly believe their eyes.

But the unfathomable aura surrounding Clinton made them wary nonetheless.

Under the shocked and slightly reverent gazes of Anastasia and the others, Clinton suddenly felt a sense of elation.

It seemed that despite being sealed for over three hundred years, the world hadn’t changed much.

Strength was still the ultimate determinant, and during his years of being sealed, he had already become one of the strongest.

The admiration and respect directed at him after his long solitude felt immensely satisfying.

Suddenly, he started to feel that joining this fortress might not be such a bad idea.

At that moment, Velen opened his system interface and prepared to draw a lottery!

"System, lock onto Mana Planet and don’t stop until I’ve drawn a hundred of them!"

This was a great opportunity to acquire Luxury Points through Clinton, and since Velen had a favorable impression of him, he was planning to give him a real spectacle!

"The probability of drawing a Mana Planet is 15%. Beginning extraction!"

As the system prompt sounded, the lottery wheel began spinning rapidly, like a little windmill.

Before long, as the system continued to provide notifications, the wheel gradually came to a stop.

"Congratulations, Host! You have spent 83,000 Luxury Points and obtained one hundred Mana Planets!"

Hearing the system prompt, Velen nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he turned to the gathered senators.

"Senator Robert, take Senator Clinton around the fortress to familiarize him with the environment!"

"Senator Aiden, Senator Ethan, come with me. I have something I need your help with."

Following Velen’s orders, the three senators immediately took action.

Meanwhile, Anastasia watched Velen and the others leave in astonishment.

Good heavens, Velen was the leader of the fortress, wasn’t he? Or was he her fortress’s leader now?

But upon second thought, this might not be a bad thing.

Under Velen’s leadership, the fortress was thriving like never before.

"I never intended to establish a fortress!"

Suddenly, realizing this, Anastasia felt a wave of frustration!

But in the end, she could only sigh helplessly.

Since Velen had entered the fortress, it had transformed from a barren wasteland into an entity capable of rivaling top-tier forces.

And now, they had even recruited a powerhouse capable of breaking through space-time barriers and entering the Upper Plane Universe.

Anastasia couldn’t even imagine how shocked Duke Anthony would be upon hearing this news.

Or what Velen would ultimately turn the fortress into.

She was finding Velen harder and harder to decipher!

"However, this won’t last forever. Once I enter the Upper Plane Universe, I can finally focus on leveling up and enacting my revenge!"

Taking a deep breath, Anastasia suppressed her emotions and returned to her courtyard, resuming her daily grind of leveling up.

As the gathering dispersed, Kevin glanced at the small white rabbit left behind and couldn’t help but sigh.

"Even though you’re just an ordinary little white rabbit, gaining Velen’s favor might be a greater fortune than being born as one of those top-tier spellbeasts. Now, even an old man like me has to become your mentor."

"Velen wants you to become the number one spellbeast in the galaxy. Let me help him gradually realize that goal!"

Since he had nothing else to do and no mentees, tutoring this little rabbit wasn’t a bad choice.

After all, its bloodline and mana had been greatly enhanced by the various potions Velen provided!

Calling it a promising candidate wasn’t an exaggeration.

Under Kevin’s intense gaze, the little white rabbit suddenly had a bad feeling.

Kevin had previously been so dismissive of it, so why had his expression changed now?

As its bloodline and level improved, so too did its intelligence, making it exceptionally adept at reading people.

Could Kevin actually believe Velen’s nonsense about making it the number one spellbeast in the galaxy?

That was just something Velen said offhand!

All it wanted was to cling to a powerful backer and enjoy an easy life!

...

"This will be Clinton Senator’s new residence. But before that, tear it down!"

After bringing Aiden and Ethan to an unoccupied senator’s courtyard, Velen immediately issued his command.

Aiden and Ethan had assumed Velen had a grand task for them and had been gearing up to showcase their skills to earn rewards.

They never expected Velen to order them to demolish a courtyard?!

But why tear it down when it was perfectly fine?

"Velen, are you preparing a residence for the newly awakened Senator Clinton? Even if this courtyard isn’t aesthetically pleasing, there’s no need to demolish it. It could just be renovated."

As a master blacksmith, Ethan looked at Velen in confusion.

Velen didn’t respond immediately. Instead, he communicated with the system.

"If I’m making two Ascended Rank senators do the work of ordinary Awakeners, I should at least compensate them with some hardship pay and mental distress compensation, right?"
