"You all are dismissed. Kaiser, you stay."
Patriarch Ture ordered calmly. The other juniors all stepped back, bowing once and then leaving swiftly.
Once the hall had emptied, Ture leaned forward. Locking his fingers beneath his chin, he stared at Kaiser deeply.
"Report your training."
The boy got on one knee instantly, recounting the events that occurred from the Western Sky Bridge to the Eastern Sky Bridge. The Patriarch didn't interrupt him, letting him say everything he had gone through.
"… since they didn't bother attacking, I ignored their presence and arrived in the Shattered Thrones region."
Ending his report there, Kaiser fell silent.
Ture's eyes sharpened, complicated emotions within them.
"So… someone put out a bounty against you with heavy rewards. I've heard about this."
