Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 2123

All nine peak masters were left with a bitter taste in their mouths. While it was initially supposed to be only nine of them vying for Severin's allegiance, a spanner was thrown in the works when Oskar—the sect leader—intervened.

His offer was not to appoint him as just an ordinary elder, but the elder of the Alchemy Chamber whose status rivaled their own! Severin had become not just the youngest seventh-grade alchemist in Grandiuno Sect's history, but also the youngest elder in the Alchemy Chamber!

At that point, Myles, Daniella, and the others were left with no other choice than to offer their congratulations. "Congratulations on becoming the Alchemy Chamber's elder, Severin!"

As Severin gazed at Oskar's smile and listened to the peak masters' congratulatory remarks, he took a deep breath and gently accepted the token. He surmised that he was probably the first disciple in the Grandiuno Sect's history to become the Alchemy Chamber's elder.

He suppressed his excitement and gestured respectfully toward Oskar, saying, "Thank you for your kindness."

Had Oskar not intervened, Severin believed that Myles and the others might have bickered for hours.

The appointment had placed him on equal footing with the peak masters, and Oskar seemed pleased when Severin accepted the token. "Now that I've officially made you elder of the Alchemy Chamber, my duty here is done."

Oskar then left in a streak of light, leaving Myles and the others watching helplessly in silence. They desired Severin for two main reasons. The first was the benefits a seventh-grade alchemist could bring to their mountain, and the second was the increased resources in the form of alchemical ingredients that the sect would likely confer on them.

With that much potential, even royal paragons would have to show him respect. Lejeune had nothing to lose by offering a few words of flattery. As he considered those aspects, he turned to Severin and said, "Haha, well said from Myles. I should call you Elder Severin now. Do come visit my Fifth Mountain as well."

Severin chuckled. "Of course, of course!"

After bidding the nine peak masters goodbye, Severin was about to return to Pearl Light Isle when a wave of gasps reached his ears. He glanced to the side and saw a group of disciples from the Seventh and Sixth Mountains gathered nearby. They were all drawn by the commotion.

The Seventh and Sixth Mountains were the closest to Pearl Light Isle, and around a hundred disciples—both men and women—watched him curiously.
