A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

The execution of Cecil and the vimodials proceeded, and the arrangements made with regards to the execution proceeded as planned.

Kailen was currently in his house. He was relaxing a bit and going through several streaming channels. Most of the streaming channels were either talking about Cecil and the vimodials, or about his involvement in solving the situation. News about him was everywhere in the city. It could be said that he was very famous at the moment.

Kailen even read on some forums that some people tried to do background checks on him because of his growing influence in the city. However, news about him was unavailable for some reason. Even the aid of intelligence organisations could not help them find anything about him. This made people all the more curious about him.

Kailen concluded that this may have been the work of the Dawnseer Guild. If more people knew he was the first transcendent to emerge from the light region of the universe, it would draw more attention to him. People would get too curious, and the guild thought that may not be good for him.

Kailen also thought that another reason why the guild may have done this was because of what they discovered about him from the light region of the universe. Perhaps, they found his personality very abnormal and deemed his character, based on his methods in the light region of the universe, very consistent with someone who could cause a lot of uproar in the empire sooner or later. They didn’t want anyone to see him as a threat and try to eliminate him, since they planned on riding on his coattails. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Naturally, Kailen didn’t care about any of this. In his opinion, he was using the guild too. Besides, Dawnseer had most likely killed all those extremely strong assassins he could not handle himself. Either that, or she had some strong guild higher ups deal with them. It was a win-win situation.

Kailen shut off the holographic screen.

"It’s time to return to the guild. I’m curious about my current rank on the premium ranking list."

****

Dawnseer Guild.

Principle Fragment tower floor.

In the lounge and mini restaurant.

Chatter and a refreshing vibe, alongside some pop music, was all over the place.

"I tell you. That Kailen Darkhaven is something else."

"Is there anything that guy cannot pull off?"

"He over-completed the mission. I checked the mission board earlier. Because of that, he actually got 1500 contribution points! Instead of the previous contribution points assigned for completing the mission."

"Well, it’s fair for that to happen. Not only did he root out the vimodials, he actually caught a higher up in the city involved with them at the same time, all without lifting a finger. Just how does this fellow do it? He’s very dangerous, always several steps ahead. One can never know what he’s thinking."

"It’s been confirmed that he is entering the secret realm of the Mayor’s office soon."

"Wow."

"But still, we don’t know how strong he is."

"There’s no doubt though that he’s definitely at the rank 2 novice stage transcendent level."

"Yeah... definitely..."

"Does that mean you accept I won the bet?"

"Tsk... whatever... I’ve sent the gold coins to you."

"Heheh... thanks, girl."

"But do you think he will get first place on the premium ranking list?"

"Isn’t that a bit too soon to decide?"

"How about we bet?"

"I don’t think so. Last time I underestimated him, you took all my money."

"Heh, are you really thinking he can beat Julian?"

"It will definitely happen, but I don’t think anytime soon. However, I won’t risk my money over a measly bet."

"Look, it’s the premium ranking list!"

"Wait... am I seeing this right?"

"He actually... just how is this possible?"

"Was it not a few days ago that he was on the tenth rank?"

"Didn’t you say it won’t happen anytime soon? Hehe. Look at the expression on your face."

Several looked at the premium ranking list with shock and shook their heads. Some who were boldly skeptical about Kailen Darkhaven concerning him taking the first place on the premium ranking list earlier had very funny expressions on their faces. It was as if they had eaten piles of shit. Their faces were burning with embarrassment.

Everywhere was silent.

Kailen Darkhaven had not just taken first place. He had literally widened the gap between him and the others. It was a very big gap that no one could hope to bridge anytime soon. Ever since they joined the guild, they had never witnessed anything like this before.

Just who the hell was this guy whose background information could not be found? This Kailen Darkhaven was simply... something else. Even the word genius could not describe him.

"Does this mean he gets to spend a year in the principle fragment tower, and he can return to the principle fragment tower a week after his time in the tower is up?"

"Indeed it does!"

"I can’t wait to see the expressions on the faces of the others in the top ten when they return to the guild after they finish comprehending the profundities of the principle fragments at the edge of the mountain range."

"That’s right. They will have the shocks of their lives."

At this moment, a figure materialised in the lobby. He stared at the premium ranking list and simply nodded as if he had expected this. This person was naturally Kailen.

Everyone stared at him with various looks ranging from admiration and shock to envy. Some of the ladies even had romantic glints flashing through their eyes. However, this fellow was quite something. He didn’t necessarily frown or radiate some depressing aura that prevented people from approaching him.

However, they felt like they could not approach him. Even though he had this attractive and magnetic feel around him, there was this isolated feel around him, as if he could not be approached. Calmly, he walked past, several shooting glances his way.

Kailen was headed towards the principle fragment tower.

"I should make use of the principle fragment tower till they invite me to the secret realm at the Mayor’s office," Kailen muttered as he entered the principle fragment tower.
