This individual happened to be none other than the esteemed Witch Emperator of Flame. Founder of the Infernal Sect. The individual in question is identified as Zhao Yun.
In the context of this continent, it is customary for individuals to place their surname before their given name.
Yun is a high ranking Magister. She had only lost once in a battle. That was when she fought against the 'Tyrannous Empress'. Following the conclusion of that confrontation, her admiration for her grew. That is the exact moment the contract was created.
Her subordinates, with furrowed brows and bowing deferentially at a ninety-degree angle, conveyed, "Empress, we have received reports of an unknown Tiered S ship arriving. The person who was inside sent a voice transmission. He introduced himself as Zenryx Raverdieu."
The empress frowned, as she had never heard of a name like Zenryx that was from the Riverdieu family.
Zen had never appeared to the outside world before. He only once showed himself during his birthday banquet. So the whole planet was not yet aware of his presence.
Yun asked them, "Where is he right now?"
"The ship is currently docked at the Defense System of Outlander."
"Ok, start getting all the ships ready and head there."
Yun did not want to neglect this persons arrival. The reason for that was because Zen was from the Raverdieu Family. Her Infernal Sect is now a subsidiary of Raverdieu's. She believed that this person was really from that family, as he arrived on an S Tier ship.
She summoned many of her subordinates, all of whom embarked upon a multitude of ships. They proceeded swiftly in the direction of Zenryx's location.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUpon arrival, each of them disembarked from their ships and assumed a motionless position, anticipating the presence of Zen.
Zen cast a cursory glance towards the window of his ship, observing the numerous vessels that had descended and witnessed the disembarkation of several people. They were currently maintaining a respectful stance outdoors, patiently awaiting his appearance.
He opened the door and got out of his ship.
Seeing his figure appear, they all had the same shocking reaction as those people from the Astre continent whenever he showed himself. His appearance was just too perfect.
Yun also saw this and hurriedly walked to his front to introduce herself. She neither prostrated herself nor engaged in any form of excessive veneration towards him. She was still high-ranking Magister, she refrained from engaging in such actions, even though she was presently employed by the Raverdieu's. She would only voluntarily submit if it were Elle.
Although she was also shocked at his appearance at first. She eventually regained her composure.
Zen nodded at her salutations and said, while chuckling and feeling amused, "Why are there so many? You brought an army. Such an extravagant welcome just for me?"
Yun then inquired, "Pardon me young master for asking, but could you kindly elaborate on your connection to Elle, as you bear a resemblance to her?"
Zen then took out his phone, showing Raverdieu's Crest, and conveyed, "Allow me to formally present myself. I am Zenryx Duragny Raverdieu. I have the distinct honor of being the son of Elle Duragny and Randell Duragny.
Yun was dumbfounded, as she did not know Elle already had a child with Randell. This son of theirs was also already this old.
After hearing him say his identity. Her tone and behavior had become a bit more respectful.
After calming down, she then said, "So you are Lady Elle's son, but she had never notified me that you would be coming here?"
"Ah that? Well, I came here on my own accord. I have come here for you."
"Me?! Why?"
After hearing her say his mother's name, his suspicions were cleared. The Infernal Sect that this Witch Imperator founded was really backed up by his family.
Zen then proceeded to tell her something with an indifferent expression. Not a single trace of dishonesty can be seen on his face.
Zen had developed exceptional control over his poker face during his years as a successful businessman in his previous world, thus effortlessly concealing his true emotions and deceiving others.
"Actually, I have heard about you from my mother. I came here to especially tell you if you could take a friend of mine as a disciple."
"Indeed, I am capable of doing so; however, prior to accepting her as my disciple, I must assess whether she possesses the necessary qualities and capabilities."
"Actually, I don't have her with me right now. I could probably bring her to you around next year."
"Ah, alright, but you could have just told your mother about it, and she would have told me about it. You did not have to come all the way this far just to tell me this, right?"
"Well, I have my own reasons. I wanted to travel the whole world so I stopped by in this continent."
"Travel the world? If that indeed holds true, would you like to commence our endeavours with this particular continent? I can arrange for my subordinates to accompany you and provide a guided tour."
Hearing this, her female subordinates revealed an expression of joy. But then it suddenly turned into a disappointment.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Actually, I like moving alone. I can't enjoy my time if I am with people."
"Ah ok, Understood. Here is my contact information. Feel free to get in touch with me whenever you require any assistance or support."
Zen then took out his phone and scanned it, saving it in his phone.
After that conversation, all the people who arrived started leaving. Zen also stored his ship in a capsule and put it in his storage ring.
"Well the! Where should I head first. I want to try the delicacies this continent has to offer. I am quite hungry, I have not eaten lunch yet. Ah right, I forgot to ask Zhao Yun for a map!" He said.
Zen forgot to ask Yun for a map showing him all the places. It's a good thing he got her contact information earlier.
He then proceeded to call her. Zen patiently waited for her to answer.
Finally, she answered and chuckled, "Hello, young master, we just met earlier. You are already calling me. What do you need?"
"Actually, I forgot to ask you for a map."
"Hmm, ok, I will send it to you."
"Thx goodbye."
The empress, who was currently on a ship heading back towards the temple, frowned and said, "Did he really just contact me just for me to send him a map?! I thought it was something important." She sighed and thought that this kid was so unpredictable.
In fact, if she finds out what he has done so far on the Astre continent. She would be even more shocked, to the extent that she would be rendered speechless by his actions.
After being sent the map, he implemented it into his Tritonics navigation system. He started heading toward a small city. Zen knew that restaurants that are run-down tend to have better food.
