After Barbara finished speaking, the four people around her were silent, with their different thoughts.

All of them had already finished eating their respective desserts that had been served before. At this point, one of the employees of Minos' residence was already removing all the empty utensils from that table. At the same time, sighing sounds sounded around there.

'Ah, so this is Barbara's story…' Joey lamented internally. Even though his past had been pretty tough, that didn't stop him from feeling sorry about other people's sad stories!

On the other hand, Abby felt like her eyes were finally open. As a young noblewoman of the Miller family, she had never thought of this organization in a vulnerable way.

It wasn't like she thought that power would be invincible, but she felt pretty confident of her family's strength. However, hearing how the Schmidt family had met its end, this young friend of Minos could not help but rethink her way of acting.

'There is always a power greater than yours... That surely seems to be the truth.' She thought inwardly, feeling a little sorry for what had happened to that family of bankers.

As for the remaining two, Robin was impressed by how unstable the status of a large family could be, and Minos thought of this organization that had already appeared in front of him more than once.

'First, there was the situation with Emlyn, then the group that kidnapped Peter, and now this…' He pondered blankly. 'The first situation was just a coincidence. They wouldn't have come here if a storm in the North Sea hadn't thrown them to the Kingdom of the End. This situation with the Schmidt family was the consequence of the first situation...'

'But why would this group, Blood Triangle Pirates, finance a group like the one that kidnapped Peter? Such a thing is bizarre...'

Anyway, it didn't take long, and Minos put those thoughts aside. "Well, I'm sorry for the trouble you guys went through, but I appreciate you letting me know that." He said, looking over at Joey and Barbara. "Anyway, I'm glad you guys decided to join my army. Unfortunately, you could not make your registration in these past days given the moment we are in. Still, tomorrow this matter will be resolved."

"Oh? Does this apply to me too?" Abby asked surprisingly. She had been expecting this for a few days now, but she had not received any feedback.

And hearing his friend's questioning, Minos nodded in agreement and said. "Hmm, tomorrow, you will all be able to join the Black Plains Army officially. Before that, those responsible for this were busy with the selection, but the first stage of this event has already been completed..."

After that, they talked for a few more moments until they finally said goodbye. The three who had come to share some of their past had gone to their respective homes while Minos and Abby returned to their training activities.

Abby had gone to the apartment where she was staying in this mansion, while the young Stuart had gone to the Spatial Kingdom.

...

In the Spatial Kingdom, the sky was still clear in this location. At the same time, the temperature was much warmer than in the Dry City's mansion where Minos had previously left it.

At this time, the young sovereign was meditating beside that big house by the lake as he circulated his cultivation technique, Solar God Breath.

As he did so, the rays of light converged around him, while a golden glow filled his surroundings, simultaneously in which the air seemed to distort.

It was as if the temperature in the area around Minos was much higher than it should have been, as streams of spiritual energy continued to flow into his body from various crystals.

And while the crystals glowed, gradually losing their intensity due to the absorption of energy by Minos' body, two foxes were there near him.

Kyla was running around with her four tails dangling, playing with a ball made of wool. She had already reached level 30 and had grown even more since the attack on that Chambers family's base.

Unlike humans, who depended on the minimum age to start cultivating, most beasts were already able to do so a few days after they were born. In fact, some beasts were born with a cultivation level higher than level 0, as happened with dragons and other first-rate races.

Elves also had that same quality.

Anyway, due to this characteristic, even though Kyla was just over a year old, she was already half the size of Emlyn. And this was not just something external, but the whole body of this little fox could already be considered as an adult at this point.

All Nine-tailed Foxes' organs would fully form when one of them reached level 30, including being able to reproduce! However, just as high-level and talented humans can have difficulty procreating, so did beasts.

In fact, for high-level beasts like Emlyn and Kyla's cases, the reproduction difficulty was even greater than it would be for humans of the same potential rating!

Therefore, it would not be so easy for these beings to reproduce, even if they had all the conditions in favor of it.

However, even though Kyla could already be considered an adult within the race of the Nine-tailed Foxes, she still behaved very differently from Emlyn. After all, her mother had outlived her for many years, and certain characteristics would only develop after many experiences!

Anyway, while Kyla was playing in that spot, Emlyn was sitting grimly. At the same time, her eyes were closed, and her muscles trembled slightly.

Right now, around her, there seemed to be a sphere of energy, slowly contracting and concentrating inside the body of this great fox.

Crack!

And after a few moments, finally, a characteristic sound came from where Emlyn was standing. The sphere of energy that was subtly visible earlier had vanished entirely inside her body when Kyla's mother finally opened her eyes.

"Au! Au!" Emlyn then made several sounds in her native language, feeling euphoria in her body, which was filled with energy she had never felt before.

'I'm finally level 51!' She thought inwardly, feeling glad for her progress.

Due to her cultivation level, this fox had to stay a lot longer without advancing than before she reached the 6th stage.

And because of this, with less constant advances, anyone, whether human, beast, or elves, would be thrilled to increase strength!

In addition to being desired, it got even better at higher levels, when one would have to train longer to achieve such a thing!

Anyway, after a few more moments, Minos ended his cultivation session too.

However, he still hadn't made a breakthrough. 'I'm getting closer and closer to the next level, but it will still take me a few days to get there...' He thought for a moment as he evaluated his cultivation level.

After that, he felt that the strength of that fox had increased considerably, and soon he went to talk to her. The difference between levels 50 and 51 was about 30%, so this advance of a Spiritual King would be significant!

And as the leader of the Black Plain Army, Minos couldn't help but be happy to feel Emlyn's new strength. Previously he might have had a disputed fight with her, given the fact that his techniques mainly depended on spiritual power and not physical strength.

However, with Emlyn's new level of cultivation, she had moved a little further away from him, and if the two of them fought, he probably wouldn't even get a draw!

...

The night quickly passed in the Dry City, and daylight had already set in when a group of five people was lined up in one of the identification rooms at the local army's headquarters.

At that moment, four women and an old man were there, being attended to by two elderly men, who wore uniforms with the rank of Corporals indicated on their shoulders.

It was finally time for this group to join the army of Minos officially!
