SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

Chapter 260: Night Shadow Pet Pouch

Late in the night, a news was posted in the Arena forum, which created an uproar throughout the capital. The news spread like a rapid fire among the four sects of the Golden Bamboo city.

The news mentioned about the group fight between the top arena rankers from each sect. As their arena ranks will interchange according to the winnings of the fight, the group fight immediately became a hot topic.

Participating in this fight is nothing but putting their chance of visiting inheritance ground in jeopardy. As the four sect fighters were involved, this group fight automatically became a sect war. More and more disciples began posting the news in school forums and business circles in the capital city.

The names of the 14 participants were also mentioned below the post, along with the rules. After seeing the top four rankers of Arena who belong to the Jade Mountain sect, other sect disciples lost hope.

Just as many people were discussing the consequences of the group fight and the influence of Jade Mountain sect-top fights, a new post landed in the forum.

"Do you guys still have coins to bet?" The title appeared in bold red colour with a symbol of the Golden Rat.

Below the title, Fatty's proud face appeared, and a daring message was delivered clearly and crisply. "My master, Kent Clark, is going to win this group fight as the final winner. Not second or third, top of the table and winner of the entire fight. If you think otherwise, I'm here offering a 1:5 return on your bet. Anyone dare to bet?"

The post ended with a red flashing 1:5 ratio, along with a taunting golden rat symbol.

"Is he an idiot?"

Many people thought the same. No one expected Fatty to offer such a high ratio for a group fight. That too, with the presence of the top four rankers of the arena, fighting on one side as a group.

"Hahaha… Finally, a chance to get back our spirit stones."

The comments flowed below the Fatty post, mocking and jeering at the foolish move. After posting the message, Fatty completely ignored what people said. He is confident that Kent would win this fight. Actually, he wanted to offer a 1:10 ration at first. But the arbiter lady, Meu Bai, stopped him from being rash.

Kent, who doesn't know about the commotion Fatty created, is sleeping peacefully on the poison clan territory.

The next morning.

"Hooah!"

Kent was awakened by a series of loud yellings as he drowsily opened his eyes and looked across the window. He could hear the disciples practicing in the vast open field not far from here. They were shouting their spells uniformly and thunderously.

'Damn, I can't sleep because of this early morning training,' thought Kent.

Kent stretched his body and got out of bed.

At that moment, Matriarch suddenly opened the door and came into his room.

Her beautiful face remained as calm as ever. It was as if nothing had happened the previous night.

'Damn it. Why was she here in the early morning?' Discover stories at ???

The matriarch wore a long red dress today, which accentuated her beautiful figure while further increasing her magnificence at the same time. Her appearance was mesmerizing and utterly alluring.

Kent looked at the matriarch for a brief moment before retracting his gaze, as he dared not be too presumptuous. He slowly said, "What brings the matriarch here so early today?"

The matriarch slowly walked toward the chair and sat down. "Kent, let me remind you that you shall bring what happened last night to your grave. Don't reveal about antidote matter. Otherwise, everyone related to you will suffer. Do you understand?"

"Yes, absolutely, matriarch, don't worry. You have my word," said Kent as he obediently nodded without thinking much.

The matriarch nodded her head in satisfaction upon hearing Kent's reply, as her voice had somewhat calmed down. "Another thing, don't forget the assignment I gave you yesterday. When you return to Golden Bamboo City, do everything you can to get that golden goose for me."

"As long as you remember our deal," Kent replied while staring into her eyes.

Stealing a golden goose, which is meant for the wedding ceremony of two big families, was easier said than done. Moreover, Kent had lived for years and had not stolen anything besides his wife Thea's books.

"You seem really troubled to steal." The matriarch laughed and pulled out a small bag of palm size.

"I'm aware this might prove to be a difficult task for you, so I've decided to give you this pet storage pouch. Perhaps you'll be able to steal the golden goose more easily with the help of this pet pouch, which has special inscriptions to vanish from others eyes for a short time," said Matriarch softly as she handed the pouch over to Kent.

Kent received the pet pouch with excitement. On the surface of the leather pouch were two bold and simple words: 'Night Shadow'.

"Thank you, Madam!" Kent answered calmly while checking the effects of the pet pouch.

"Alright, this pet pouch is now yours. Go home and think about how to steal the golden goose from the Mintleaf family," said Matriarch, whose tone sounded slightly cold as she suddenly recalled what happened last night. A pink blush appeared on her face.

Kent nodded.

An hour later, Maya accompanied Kent back to Golden Bamboo City. She hugged him tightly before saying good-bye.

Instead of going to Eternal Sun Sect, Kent went to the northern commercial street, which is under the Mintleaf family. Acting like a casual customer, Kent began gathering information about the engagement ceremony of the Mintleaf family and the Silver Stones family.

There are only three days left for the engagement ceremony, seven days for the group fight in the arena, and 17 days for the inheritance ground awakening.

Kent's schedule is very busy, and he has very little time to improve his strength. Keeping away the thoughts, Kent inquired more people at different locations about the golden goose and its importance for the two families.

He really felt surprised when he found that the golden goose was a must for the engagement ceremony. The golden goose was actually bought to correct the defect in the fate of Spurgeon, who will become impotent without that golden goose.

"It's better if I steal the golden goose after it is donated to the Silver Stokes family. Otherwise, the engagement might be called off, and Lady Lana might become the center of criticism." Kent thought while remembering Lana, who invited him to the engagement.

While thinking about his plans, Kent forgot to notice a person who was following him from a distance. It is Larry, the Moonbrook family heir, who wants the arena room key from Kent. After following Kent, Larry found that Kent was inquiring about the golden goose.
