Shortly after that, Diana woke up. "Mmm…"
Ren's face immediately broke into a smile. "Good morning, my naughty girlfriend."
He thought she would return the greeting immediately.
To his surprise, she cupped his face and pressed her lips against his.
"Good morning, my awesome boyfriend." Diana's face blossomed into a smile because there was nothing better than being greeted by the man she loved after waking up.
"You are indeed naughty, Diana!" Ren smiled as he pinched her cheeks gently.
"I'm indeed a naughty girl!" She didn't feel shy when she said this, as if it was something to be proud of.
"Hehe." He chuckled.
As they giggled softly, Scarlett woke up.
"Good morning, Scarlett."
"Good morning, sister Scarlett."
They greeted her together.
"Good morning." Scarlett returned their greeting with a smile.
Then, the trio continued talking.
At 6:30 am, they took a shower together.
Ren and his women didn't have sex in the bathroom this time.
They only soaked and chatted happily.
Shortly after they finished bathing, five servants knocked lightly before stepping into their chamber to serve breakfast.
Once they were full, Ren and his women headed to the main hall to meet Vaelen and the elders.
Even though the main hall had been destroyed yesterday, they managed to rebuild it in just one night, as some of them were skilled in earth magic.
"Branch Leader, is there a teleportation portal that leads to the Vlizica Continent here?" Ren asked.
Ren was currently sitting on the main seat with Diana and Scarlett standing on either side of him.
Since he was their Young Palace Master, his status was the highest there.
"Unfortunately, we only have a teleportation portal to the main continent, Young Palace Master," Vaelen replied.
Ren let out a sigh when Vaelen explained that the other teleportation portals he knew of only connected to places within the Virelya Continent.
"Is there a Dragon race in this continent?" Ren changed the topic of conversation.
"Yes, Young Palace Master," Vaelen replied. "Half of the continent is under our control, while the other half belongs to the Dragon Kingdom."
He began explaining the regions in the Virelya Continent.
He said the Virelya Continent was divided into four regions: northwest, southwest, northeast and southeast.
The northeast and southeast were under their jurisdiction, while the northwest and southwest were under the Dragon Kingdom's rule.
"Maybe the Dragon Kingdom has a teleportation portal leading to the Vlizica Continent." The first elder added.
"Really?" Due to how happy he was, Ren almost failed to control his emotions.
"But we have been on bad terms with them for over a hundred years," Vaelen said. "I doubt they will be willing to let you use it, Young Palace Master."
"Don't worry. I know how to make them agree." Ren was half dragon, so it was an easy task for him. "Ah, right. I met an old man from the Crimson Sun Organization after I arrived here."
He began explaining what had happened when they met Lucas, including the token of authority.
"How dare he!" Some of the elders were furious.
Ren was their Young Palace Master, yet Lucas tried to make him their leader.
"The Crimson Sun Organization is only mid-level organization. They are not worthy of you, Young Palace Master." Vaelen didn't want Ren to become their leader either.
Their previous Palace Master had chosen Ren as his successor, so there must be something special about Ren.
After all, Finley had never accepted even one disciple during his time as master of the Moon Palace.
"I'm not going to become their leader. I just want to return the token of authority to them." Ren replied.
Vaelen and the others let out a sigh of relief after hearing his answer.
"Well, I intend to make them our ally because that old man has entrusted his organization to me." It was Lucas' final wish, so Ren wanted to make sure their organization would survive from generation to generation.
At this moment, Vaelen and the elders disagreed with his plan because, from their point of view, the Crimson Sun Organization was not worthy of being their ally.
However, they didn't dare to voice out their disagreement as Ren had decided it.
"Young Palace Master, how about we send someone to return the token?" The third elder tried to stop Ren from meeting them.
"That's right, Young Palace Master." The second elder added. "You just need to wait here. We will take care of delivering the token to them."
They were afraid that Ren would change his mind after meeting them, so they tried their best to stop him.
"No." Ren refused instantly. "I will go there myself. Just tell me where their organization is."
Vaelen and the elders exchanged glances with each other before finally telling him the location of the Crimson Sun Organization.
After that, Ren changed the topic again.
At first, he wanted to ask about the main branch, but he changed his mind because he had told them that he was from the main branch.
"Young Palace Master, our two genius disciples just returned. We would like to introduce them to you." Vaelen said politely.
"Oh! Genius disciples?" Ren raised his brow. "Bring them in."
Shortly after, two people who appeared to be in their early thirties entered the main hall.
The man had red hair and yellow eyes, while the woman had long blue hair and grey eyes. The duo immediately greeted Ren politely, as Vaelen had told them Ren's identity.
"He is Cassian Valemont, and she is Lyra Dawncrest." Vaelen introduced them. "They are only one hundred and sixty years old, yet Lyra has already reached 5-star, while Cassian is already at the Unity rank."
"Hmm? A one hundred-and-sixty-year-old Unity rank warrior and a 5-star mage are considered geniuses?" Ren didn't know the criteria for being called a genius, so he had no idea whether he should be surprised or not.
"They can indeed be considered geniuses, Ren," Scarlett spoke abruptly. "Normally, awakeners are already three hundred years old or older by the time they reach Unity rank or 5-Star."
"That's right, Handsome. Not everyone is like you." Diana added.
Ren turned to Scarlett and said, "Then, doesn't that make you a monstrous genius, Scarlett?"
She was still in her early forties, yet she had already reached the Grandmaster rank.
Considering the ages and ranks of both Cassian and Lyra, she was clearly much better than them.
"Well, I'm special after all." Scarlett praised herself.
The corner of Ren's lips twitched after seeing her expression.
At this moment, Vaelen and the others were curious about their ages.
Since the first elder could not suppress the curiosity in his heart, he asked politely. "Lady Scarlett, may we know how old you are and what your rank is?"
"I'm forty-two." Scarlett gave an honest answer. "And I'm already at the Grandmaster rank."
The first elder and the others widened their eyes in disbelief because they had never heard or met a forty-two-year-old Grandmaster-rank warrior before.
"Then, what about you, Lady Diana?" The second elder was curious about Diana, as she was also Ren's woman.
"I'm just an ordinary awakener. But your Young Palace Master is a genius like sister Scarlett. No! Genius is not the right word to describe him because he is the best awakener in the world." Diana was only slightly above average before Ren shared the Mark of Divinity with her, so she didn't praise herself.
"Exactly!" Scarlett said with a nod. "Ren is the greatest awakener in the world. He is an unparalleled genius."
"Unparalleled genius?" Vaelen and the others said in surprise.
"Yes. Unparalleled genius! You are lucky to have him as your Palace Master, because with him as your leader, your organization's future is limitless." Diana kept boasting about Ren's bright future. "There is even a high possibility that your organization could rise to the very top, because he has the qualifications to fight for the throne."
Vaelen and the others were stunned by Diana's words.
'He has the qualifications to fight for the throne?'
They slowly turned to Ren.
The corner of Ren's lips twitched again.
'These naughty women…'
He didn't expect them to praise him like that.
"Handsome, tell them your age and rank. Show them how amazing you are." Diana wanted to show them that she wasn't lying.
"Un." Scarlett nodded. "Tell them, Ren."
Vaelen and the others paid attention to him carefully because they wanted to hear the answer.
