CHAPTER 536: INTRODUCTIONS

’Basically, the King of the Pirates and one of the strongest forces in the sea.’

Sabbath thought to himself while looking at him from a few seats, and simultaneously, he had a few sweat drops falling off his forehead.

’To think I had been arguing with a fucking Pirate Immortal all this time! How foolish of me; I must’ve looked like a fool in the eyes of the Old King!’

With a slight cough of embarrassment, he opened his mouth and introduced himself.

"I am Rockstar, but also known as Sabbath. I am from a tribe of non-surnames, so I only have one name."

Sabbath said with a serious look.

"Good to see you, Sabbath, and I am glad that your hiccup over in the Bulwark Land was solved peacefully."

Pankratios said.

"Yeah... Peacefully."

Sabbath sighed.

In the seat next to him, the short-haired brunette stood up and put her hands on the stone meeting table.

She smiled and said.

"My name is Amara Corrado, but all of you know me as Cold Shade. As most of you know, I am an alchemist, and with my student here, we’re the main potion brewers of the Lurian Kingdom!"

She then sat back down and nodded at her student so she could garner confidence to introduce herself.

With a nervous look, a light blue-haired young woman stood up—she looked lovely with her round eyes, button nose, and shy smile—she was wearing a long, flowing gown made of shimmering silk that glimmered in the candlelight.

"I am Azura Moreno, and some of you know me as Gentle Rose."

With that short introduction, she sat back down and fidgeted with her fingers under the table while feeling all the stares of the other members around her.

At that moment, a tall-legged woman stood up, with her hair pulled into a tight bun, and she had very royal and elegant posture.

It wasn’t hard to tell that she was a woman of high status!

"My name is Genevieve Bennett, and my codename is Small Bird. I am master of fortune telling, so if anyone wants to have their fortune read, we can trade."

With a short curtsy, she sat back down and crossed her legs very elegantly—she was another Master-ranked member of the Martial Order—and next to her, her student stood up.

"I-I am Yara Sackville, and I am known as Wingless Butterfly!"

A curly-haired brunette said with her cute face looking nervous, and without further ado, she sat right back down.

With a slight jump, a tanned man with a very chiseled face stood up—he was a very handsome one and quite strong; however, he was only a student.

"I am Lambert Ward, and I am a student of the great Xerxes. I am known as Fish Who Drowns in the Martial Order app!"

He sat right back down, and another person right next to him stood up.

This time around, it was a young girl—about fifteen years old—who looked completely out of place with these adults around.

"Hey everyone... My name is Antigone Collingwood, and I am also a student of Xerxes. My codename is Ballerina of Moon, as one day I want to go to the moon, but for now, I am here to learn from all of you.

"Please take care of me!"

With a deep bow, she sat right back down.

Kiernan looked at her silently, surprised that someone so young was part of their order, but after checking out her aura, she realized why.

’She is Martial Grandmaster already, and she is so young. Doesn’t this level of talent already seem out of this world?

’Sun Jupiter and Seo Donghae were in the Middle Stages of Martial Grandmaster during the Junior Martial Championship, but when she reaches their age, won’t she already be Martial King?

’Who in the world could defeat her?’

At that moment, a dark-skinned man stood up—he had a buzzcut and a hardened face that seemed as strong as a brick wall—and he was wearing a top hat with round-shaped glasses on the bridge of his nose.

With his finger tapping against the table, he said.

"Hello, everyone. My name is Valerian Montgomery, and my codename is Detective. I am part of the World Detective Association, and I have been successful in solving over 100 cases in my career."

With a nudge of his glasses, he sat back down, and his student rose up.

However, his student didn’t speak, and instead, the pale-looking young man pulled out a notepad and pen and then started writing.

He then turned the notepad around and showed it to everyone.

[Hello, my name is Sven Zimmer, and my codename is Craze. I am Valerian’s detective student; please take good care of me!]

’Mute?’

Kiernan raised an eyebrow.

"Is he mute? If so, I believe I can fix it."

Pankratios said.

’Surely you can, with your perverted dual cultivation shit...’

Kiernan pinched his nose bridge, and while his methods were quite unorthodox, it helped him to get together with Aoi.

So, I guess he owed him.

"No, he isn’t mute. He just doesn’t like wasting his breath in words. I hope you all can understand that, but he can perfectly communicate with a notepad or phone."

Valerian said.

"Very well."

Pankratios said with a nod, and then turned to the last person who hadn’t introduced himself—so did everyone else—and Kiernan stood up.

"My name is Kiernan Hunter, but most of you know me as Revenant. Please, take good care of me, thank you."

He finished his short introduction and sat right back down.

’Hmm? So that’s Revenant...’

Azura looked over with a curious gaze and then saw the ring on one of Kiernan’s fingers. It didn’t look like one of those rings that are just for show, as it was clearly an engagement ring!

’Engaged at such a young age... Wow.’

She exclaimed.

"I believe Grandmaster Xerxus had something to talk to everyone about."

Pankratios said and turned his gaze to the Fleet Admiral of the Navy, who stood up while tidying his suit and began to address everyone.

"Thank you all for coming here, as this meeting was originally my idea. I thought it was good to get everyone on the same page, as we’re all now known by the outside world.

"I don’t know whether any of you have heard, but I am planning to step down as Fleet Admiral of the Navy.

"I had a long talk with Pankratios, and I believe what we aim to do here in Martial Order will be of greater importance than that.

"However, before we go any further as a group, we need to discuss who we really want in the Order."

Xerxus said, and turned to the white-haired Pirate Immortal.

"I’d like to have a vote on whether we will kick Imperius out of the Martial Order. I do not trust him, and neither should the rest of you.

"However, this should be a decision made by everyone and not a singular person!"
