Slumdog Billionaire Husband by Rayden Berg

Chapter 935 Reward

At the door in front of the endless palace of the Archaic Tribe, when Gerald and Anabel first arrived,

they were not even qualified to enter from there.

However, at this moment, countless people were standing on the streets in front of the main door of the

Archaic Tribe. They stood separately and cheered for the people who participated in the trial.

At that moment, Gerald the others looked like heroes.

The car moved forward slowly as they received cheers from everyone!

Gerald noticed that there were even many ordinary people among these people.

“Seems like the Archaic Tribe’s sense of honor is not bad” Gerald smiled slightly.

It was obvious that their achievements had already been relayed back to the Archaic Tribe in these

past few days, hence this welcoming ceremony was held for them!

As they traveled along the way, he truly felt the power of the Eight Forces.

Among them were many Flame Decayers and even supreme Flame Decayers. There were quite a lot

of them

too.

This was the true power of the Eight Forces!

Their hover car was greeted with cheers as they passed through the streets and arrived at the front

gate.

Standing before the gate was a very tall middle-aged man. He was wearing loose clothes, and he had

short black hair as well as a beard. This man gave off an aura of majesty that made him seem like a

strong

mountain.

Gerald’s eyes couldn’t help but flicker as he saw this man.

This man was unfathomable!

Yes, he was truly unfathomable.

Gerald was sure that this man was the strongest person he had ever encountered in his life without

question!

Even with his consecutive breakthroughs, he felt like he couldn’t match up to this man.

Of course, there was also a hint of battle intent in his eyes.

He wanted to test his limits against this man and see just how strong he was.

As the patriarch of the Archaic Tribe, this man was undoubtedly one of the most formidable people in

the

entire Havotune Galaxy.

The hover car came to a stop, and the group began to disembark.

36 people had gone to participate in the trial, but only 17 had returned.

This was still considered relatively good compared to the other forces, who suffered much heavier

losses.

“What are we going to do now?” Gerald asked curiously.

“Shh!” Anabel whispered. “Just follow Darion in front of us.”

Gerald nodded.

Darion and Anabel led the way and slowly walked toward the front door with Gerald and the others

behind.

After walking for a while, Gerald saw the middle-aged man wave his sleeves, and suddenly water

columns shot up into the sky from the gate. From above, the water droplets transformed into raindrops

that began to

fall

“The Sprinkling Ceremony! It’s the most revered ceremony of the Archaic Tribe!” Skyler exclaimed in

surprise.

Gerald furrowed his brows

“Don’t avoid the water, as this is the highest courtesy of the Archaic Tribe. If you use your Vital Energy

to avoid it, it would be considered impolite,” Anabel reminded him.

Gerald was speechless.

However, he couldn’t argue with that, so he let the raindrops fall on him.

As the others cheered, he suddenly felt that these water droplets were not ordinary. He felt a sense of

tranquility and peace within him.

“The Sprinkling Ceremony not only shows courtesy, but it also has some benefits.” Skyler chuckled. “I

never thought I, Skyler Mahoney, would have the opportunity to enjoy the highest courtesy of the

Archaic Tribe.”

“Three teams made it into the top ten, which is a first in the Archaic Tribe history,” Kristian said. “But to

receive the Sprinkling Ceremony once in this lifetime is already fulfilling enough.”

The faces of the Archaic Tribe members were filled with reverence, including Anabel, who was

standing

beside Gerald.

Gerald felt a bit helpless. He couldn’t quite muster that same sense of reverence, but to not stick out

like a sore thumb, he put on a serious and solemn expression.

They walked through the streets and arrived at the front gate.

Clang! Clang!

Darion and Brigid quickly made a gesture.

“Follow me!” Anabel reminded Gerald and the others.

Gerald and the others quickly nodded and followed Anabel. They raised their right arms, bowed their

heads,

beat their chests, stamped their feet, and then knelt on one knee.

Then, Darion stood up and spoke solemnly. “Reporting to the patriarch!”

His voice was loud, as if he wanted everyone to hear clearly.

*1, Darion Collier, led the team to participate in the trial of the Eight Forces which was held in the

Nether Domain. In this trial, the Archaic Tribe, Mullen City, and the Pierce family’s side branch, led by

Anabel Pierce, along with her vassals Gerald, Carolyn, and Valery, won first place in the trial by many

points, entering the first layer of the Corona Pool. Anabel Pierce made consecutive breakthroughs and

has now reached the supreme level of Flame Decay!”

He continued, “Skyler Mahoney, from the Snowery City’s side branch of the Archaic Tribe, led his team

consisting of Gilbert Robinson, Jaron Bartholomew, and Grant Patience. They won second place, but

Grant died in the trial, and Skyler made a breakthrough to the level of Flame Decay.”

Then, he further said, “Kristian Pierce led the team…”

He reported the news in a strong and powerful voice. After finishing, he loudly proclaimed, “In this trial,

the Archaic Tribe won first, second, and eighth places, occupying three of the top ten spots, which

broke previous

records!”

The middle-aged man’s gaze swept over Gerald and the others, his face showing satisfaction as he

spoke loudly. “Excellent, everyone! You are all the future of the Archaic Tribe, and the pride of our

people”

With that, he raised his hand and declared, “Today I invite you all to join me for a meal and enter the

Archaic

Tribe!*

As his words fell, he suddenly turned around and Gerald felt a surge of Vital Energy lifting him and his

companions up.

After standing still, they passed through the gates of the Archaic Tribe, following the elaborate etiquette

led

by Anabel.

Soon, they sat down to have lunch.

Each person had a seat and a table full of dishes.

The middle-aged man spoke very little during the meal, and Gerald felt very restrained during the meal!

It was really depressing. The leader of the Archaic Tribe was quiet after speaking a few words at the

beginning, and just enjoyed the food.

When he didn’t speak, nobody else dared to speak

The meal was fairly quiet.

The meal lasted for about an hour. After about an hour of eating, the middle-aged man put down his

fork.

When he did, everyone else quickly put down their cutleries, and Gerald followed suit.

Regardless of whether Gerald and the others had finished eating, some servants came in and took

everything

away.

At this point, the middle-aged man finally showed a smile and his gaze slowly swept over everyone as

he spoke. “In the Archaic Tribe, rewards and punishments are clear. You have all brought honor to our

people, and you shall be rewarded!”

anter

As he spoke, a person walked into the hall, followed by a group of elegant silver-haired women, who

carried various items, such as clothes and weapons.

The person who walked into the hall smiled slightly and said, “In this trial, you all have achieved great

results and brought glory to our tribe. The team leaders, Darion Collier and Brigid Pierce will be

promoted to rank one and gifted a pair of Silver Wings!”

Darion was overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down. “Thank you, Patriarch”

“The first-place winner, Anabel Pierce of Mullen City, will be promoted to rank five! You will be gifted

five pairs of Silver Wings! of flying wings and the Soul Saber which is ranked sixth on the Divine

Weapon list! The Pierce family of Mullen City will be promoted to the main branch of the Pierce tribe,

and Anabel Pierce will

enter the elder level…”

“Gerald Kenneth, a subordinate of Anabel Pierce of Mullen City will be rewarded. Gerald’s family is a

side branch of the Archaic Tribe. You will be promoted to the fifth rank and gifted a pair of Silver

Wings…”

Gerald knitted his brows.

At this point, Anabel stood up and said, “Patriarch, I’m sorry!”

“Hmm?” The head of the Archaic Tribe looked at her and asked, “Are you not satisfied?”

“No!” Anabel hurriedly said. “It’s just that these three friends of mine don’t want to join the Archaic

Tribe. They

only want to be my vassals.”

“Oh?” The head of the Archaic Tribe narrowed his eyes and looked at Anabel.

A menacing pressure enveloped Anabel at this time.

“How so? Do you plan to cultivate your own force, or is it that…” He suddenly turned his gaze to Gerald

and

the others and continued, “Or is it that you three look down on the Archaic Tribe?”

Gerald’s expression changed. He did not expect the head of the Archaic Tribe to say that.

As his voice fell, a terrifying aura instantly shrouded Gerald and Carolyn.

Just as Anabel was about to speak, the middle-aged man glanced at him.

“You three are all remarkable young talents. As the leader of the Archaic Tribe, I, Declan Pierce, value

talent greatly. I personally invite you to join the Archaic Tribe.” He smiled at them.

Although he spoke in such a way, the pressure he exuded carried an irresistible force.

Gerald furrowed his brows. He never expected things to develop into this situation. After all, he thought

coming back was just a formality, and they could leave afterward. He never thought that the head of the

Archaic Tribe would want to forcibly recruit them.

Under the overwhelming pressure, Valery, who was not at the supreme level of Flame Decay yet,

turned pale.

Gerald was filled with anger. Taking a step toward Valery to block her, he then lifted his head to face

Declan. He asked, “What if I refuse?”
