Kaden’s appearance as the Sage of Sacred Wrym Summit stirred up quite a buzz. Everyone, regardless of age and gender, stood to congratulate him and saluted with respect.

Even though Sacred Wrym Summit rarely got involved in the martial world affairs, it held a revered place among martial artists. Regardless of Kaden’s past, wearing the Sage’s robe commanded respect.

“It’s an honor to have you all here at Sacred Wrym Summit,” Kaden said, facing the crowd with a smile and a respectful gesture. “If my hospitality falls short in any way, I ask for your understanding.”

“The Combat Tournament at Sacred Wrym Summit is a fantastic opportunity for us to show off our skills. You really know how to set the stage.”

The compliments came pouring in as everyone eagerly flattered Kaden. After all, staying on good terms with Sacred Wrym Summit was a wise choice.
