Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 1800

"And you're appointing me as the deputy?" Rachel was caught off guard nonetheless. Upon careful reflection, she recalled the pills that Severin had given them when he requested their presence. He seemed to have been planning ahead because he had begun entrusting them with important responsibilities.

"Shouldn't we hold a meeting to discuss something as significant as this? It doesn't seem right to announce it without any prior discussion," Gracie said after coming to her senses.

Severin smiled. "Haha, what's there to discuss? I've already informed the sect leader. You'll all be the strongest remaining individuals in the sect once we leave, so the responsibility should naturally fall on all of you along with Heidi and Kara. They're both very promising practitioners, and they'll be appointed elders as well. Those with slightly lower attainment levels will become protectors."

Gracie could only smile sheepishly. "I'm not mentally prepared to shoulder the sudden responsibility. The pressure is huge!"

Rachel echoed her sentiments and said with a wry smile, "Exactly. The role of a deputy sect leader has never existed, and I have to assume this new position now! I'd be more comfortable as an elder though. It's a much less stressful role."

"Only those whom our Supreme Leader has deemed suitable will be capable enough to take up this responsibility. It's only fitting that the two individuals with the highest attainment among all of us are chosen," Mick said with a grin.

"I agree. Gracie and Rachel are well-suited for the role," Fiona chimed in with a smile.

"This has been decided then. I'll give each of you several fifth-grade medium-rank pills. Make good use of them and train diligently. I want all of you to have the upper hand when dealing with Horizon Sect, and I don't want to lose any of you." Severin smiled and gave them four pills each.
