Chapter 4702
The young woman meticulously went through a multitude of rules and regulations, her
recitation spanning a full hour. James stood resolute in the main hall, while Lothar and the
other heads and elders stood in quiet attendance by the side. Eventually, the exhaustive
list of rules and regulations came to an end.
"Has Wael not arrived yet?” Lothar inquired as the readings concluded and the ceremony
was about to start. However, Wael had not made an appearance, which prompted Lothar
to question the situation.
James promptly replied, "Sir Wael went out for cultivation, saying something about inner
demons and unresolved issues. He wanted to leave the Tempris House sooner because of
that, so he left before the succession ceremony."
Lothar had no choice but to proceed despite Wael's absence. "Given the circumstances,
let's proceed with the ceremony without any further delays."
"Wait a moment," a voice resonated through the crowd in the main hall. A man stepped
forward.
He was none other than Qasim Todd, an elder of the Tactir House.

have something to share, kindly wait until it's over."
Brushing Billy aside, Qasim advanced to the center of the main hall. His gaze shifted
across the assembly of heads and esteemed elders before him. With due respect, he
began, "Esteemed heads, honorable elders, I contest James' appointment as the Head of
Tempris House."
Lothar's expression shifted into a frown. "Qasim, the decision to appoint James as the
Head of Tempris House came after careful and thorough deliberation among the elders."
"I understand that, and I'll still contest it. I firmly believe he lacks the qualifications for this
position." Qasim gestured toward James. "Sir Lothar, there are matters I need to address
with you. However, they should be discussed in private. I'm afraid I can't bring them up in
front of the entire hall."
"Whatever the issues may be, we can discuss them after the ceremony," Lothar replied.
"Sir Lothar, I'm taking this step for the sake of Tempris itself. I'm deeply concerned about
James following in the footsteps of Wael Qailoken," Qasim declared with conviction.
Lothar's brow furrowed subtly. After a brief pause, he uttered, "The ceremony is hereby
postponed."
Upon announcing that, Lothar firmly grasped Qasim's arm and exited the hall, leading the
way. Seeing this, heads from the other houses and a number of core elders followed suit,
leaving the main hall. The remaining powerhouses were left
in bewilderment, unable to grasp the intentions of the Verde Academy. James, too, found
himself perplexed. Despite this, he brushed the confusion away and chose to wait for what
happened next.
In a secret council of the Verde Academy, a sanctum reserved solely for its core members,
an assembly convened. Qasim brought up his concerns regarding Saachi before Lothar
and the other heads.
"James brought Salinese Maignes to the Tempris House without proper authorization. His
actions almost put us in a difficult situation and stirred up conflict within our house. If a
battle erupted, our academy would’ve suffered great losses, even if we were to win. To
rescue this woman with Demonic Energy, Wael resorted to absorbing her Demonic Energy
and assumed her identity before departing. Imagine what would happen if the Yhala Sect
discovered that Salinese was in the Verde Academy all along. They might bring a horde of
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmpowerhouses with them. How would we defend ourselves against that? Knowing this, I
earnestly ask Sir Lothar to consider the expulsion of both James and Salinese from our
academy."
Upon hearing Qasim's explanation, Lothar's expression turned grave. He turned his gaze
toward the heads from the other houses and asked, 'What are your perspectives on this
matter?"
Billy, the Head of Tactir House, was the first to voice his opinion. "If what Qasim says is
true, James will undeniably bring us trouble in the future. Keeping him in the academy
seems unwise.
I believe we should rescind James' position as the Head of Tempris House and proceed
with his expulsion."
'This matter is of great importance. Considering Wael's intervention and the resolution of
Salinese's Demonic Energy, Salinese no longer abides by the Demonic Path. By our
academy's rules, if she embarks on a path of reformation, she has the potential to be
accepted as an academy disciple."
"Indeed, and furthermore, James has been honing the Verde Power. It's only a matter of
time before he becomes a pivotal figure within our academy."
