Chapter 822
“Isn’t that just a normal spatial ring? What’s so special about it?” Yasmin folded her hands in front of her chest and remarked flippantly before Zoheb could even say anything.
Seconds later, Zoheb immediately said to Yasmin, “Hurry up and kneel to him, Yasmin.” Then, he knelt and said to Severin, “Greetings, Supreme Leader.”
“Supreme Leader?” Yasmin was confused and had no idea what was going on, but when she saw her father kneeling on the ground, she could only grit her teeth and follow suit. “Greetings, Supreme Leader!” Severin immediately smiled and said, “You may dispense with the courtesies. At ease, you two!”
“What’s a Supreme Leader, Dad? Why haven’t I been told about such a person before?” Yasmin frowned and looked skeptically at Zoheb.
“You were still young then,” Zoheb explained. “and I never really mentioned it to you when you were older, so you wouldn’t know much about it. But it all started when…”
Zoheb told Yasmin about the situation briefly.
“Are you saying that there are eleven other halls like ours and all of them are his subordinates? Didn’t you say that the supreme leader is supposed to be an old man? Why is he so young, then?” Yasmin looked at Severin in surprise and disbelief..
Zoheb then said, “I don’t have the answer to that, but I do know that this ring represents the Dracodeus Token. Anyone who bears this token is our Supreme Leader, whom all twelve halls must obey.”
Yasmin still felt that Severin was a little too young. She pursed her lips and said, “But he’s so young! Why should we obey his orders? What if he just found the ring somewhere? This all feels like a sham. In that case, I can be the Supreme Leader too if I snatch the ring from him.”
Zoheb was appalled at his daughter’s remarks and reprimanded her hurriedly, “What are you talking about, Yasmin? Age doesn’t matter here! I won’t be able to help you if he takes offense with your remarks and decides to kill you.”
After that scolding, Yasmin was so terrified that she immediately closed her mouth and lowered her head. “I… I was just joking. I wasn’t serious when I said I’d snatch it from you.”
Yasmin was so adorable that Severin smiled at her instead of getting angry with her. “It’s no big deal. It was the old wacko who set this rule back then, and I think it’s a bit ludicrous too. He’s the kind of person that just likes going against the grain.” Severin then paused for a moment before finally saying to Yasmin, You can snatch it from me if you want, but you must be strong enough to do so. If you succeed, then you’ll become the new supreme leader.”
