Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2334

Vastor was still overweight, but no one would mistake him for an egg come to life anymore. His belly was reduced to the size typical of a beer enthusiast but his limbs and eyes brimmed with vigor.

"What can I do for you?" He asked.

"Leave us, Lomar, and inform the rest of the staff that we don't want to be disturbed." Jirni ordered the butler. "Whoever gets in here will leave this house in the morning. Feet first."

Lomar had often seen the lady of the house annoyed or angry, but she had never threatened a member of the staff. Jirni was a woman of thought and action. She spoke little and the few words she said held great weight.

He gave her a deep bow and closed the door, activating from the outside the lockdown arrays that could be only undone by the masters of the house.

"I have no use for you, Zogar." Jirni's cold eyes were in stark contrast with the blazing mana they emitted. "You are a failure. You couldn't stop Balkor from slaughtering your precious students.

"You were oblivious to Nalear's betrayal and stood helpless like an idiot while she killed Linjos and orchestrated Yurial's death." Jirni stepped closer to him, her voice dripping venom and rage.

Yet none of those words could hurt Vastor.

He had long since accepted his past mistakes and had worked hard to never again repeat them. He just felt curious because he knew Jirni better and waited for the delivery of her speech.

"You couldn't help Phloria with her trial nor Lith with his treason charges. Despite all of your powers, you left Phloria alone like I did, and we let her die with our incompetence." Only when their noses were centimeters apart did Jirni stop.

"I need the Master. The man who made the whole Garlen continent piss its pants. The man who haunts Thrud's dreams and whose power threatens even the Guardians. The Master has risen to a level of skill that puts him on par with Manohar and Balkor.

"He succeeded in saving Zinya and protecting his children from unstoppable monsters. He's the one I called here in search of help."

"Then let me ask you again. What can the Master do for you?" Vastor asked.

"I need you to Awaken me and my husband without anyone knowing." She replied.

"It's feasible, but why me?" The Master tormented his waxed handlebar mustache while Orion was too shocked to utter a word. "Lith is Awakened. Your daughters are Awakened. Heck, the Gernoff household is filled with Awakened. You have no need for my help."

"I sure do." Jirni gritted her teeth. "Lith has no idea how to Awaken Orion and even if he did, we would be under his service for 100 years. Our daughters would never Awaken us. They fear both what we might do in our grief and the authority they'd hold over us.

"As for the Gernoff, I already asked them and they turned me down! They said that my forefather Oghrom left precise instructions not to Awaken people like him to which they abide to this day."

"Shouldn't that make you think?" Orion said.

"Please, that fucker killed himself with no care for his descendants. Oghrom loved Valeron more than his own family. It's his fault if no one was left to keep the Kingdom in check.

"They both abandoned us in Arthan's hands and today's situation is the result of their foolishness. If I could meet Oghrom today, I would kill him first."

"The Master, instead, is not affiliated with the Council and has no scruples. You can Awaken us and leave us free to do whatever we want as rogue Awakened."
