The Medallion

Upon asking for the other elders and the five stewards to head back to the Sword Spirit Sect, Timothy and Harrison left first and went straight to the Arcane Sword Hall.

At the same time, Hannah walked into the competition area and sought Rocky. After finally finding him, she said, "Here you are. Come with me. The leader wants to see you."

"Huh? The leader?" Rocky actually didn't expect that his battle with Xavier would catch the attention of the sect leader. In his honest opinion, it came as a big surprise.

But at some point, he knew that he was going to be summoned by the higher-ups because of everything that he had displayed in the entire competition. Thus, upon hearing what Hannah said, he just simply nodded with a smile. Then, the two of them left the competition area under the watchful eyes of the crowd who had just witnessed the recent battle.

As soon as they entered the Arcane Sword Hall, Rocky saw that Timothy and Harrison were already there, seated and patiently waiting for their arrival. There was no one else except the sect leader and the governor. With this, Rocky immediately discerned they were trying to keep this conversation a secret one.

"Thank you, Hannah. You may leave now," Timothy ordered at once.

Hearing her father's command, Hannah cast a slight glance at Rocky before she bowed and left the hall. She was actually concerned about how their meeting would turn out, but she knew that her father was a sensible person. Hence, as long as Rocky told the truth and explained everything accordingly, there shouldn't be any problem.

At this point, there were only three people left inside the hall—Timothy, Harrison, and Rocky.

Despite being in front of the two powerful figures of the Sword Spirit Sect, Rocky looked rather calm, and there wasn't any hint of fear or panic in his eyes.

I was swindled and they managed to take all of my belongings. My bad luck didn't end there. Later on, I was abducted to the area just outside of the Sword Spirit City. I was actually almost on the brink of being sold as a laborer. Fortunately, I was able to escape just in time. At that point, I didn't have any money on me and so I suffered from hunger for a while. Realizing that I needed to do something about my situation, I tried my luck to see if I could meet some rich people who could spare me some food and money. Then, that was when I bumped into Ally. I was surprised that I was taken here in the Sword Spirit City by the kind-hearted lady. Before that incident, I already heard about the Sword Spirit City because of its good reputation. So, when I saw that I was brought here, I thought
