Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang told Jerald everything that had happened, and he could see Jerald's rage and hatred in his eyes.

"The Council," Jerald said with a venomous voice. Shang had never heard Jerald become this emotional before. He had always been very polite, friendly, and jovial, but now, he looked absolutely enraged.

Shang didn't say anything.

"Are you going to take revenge?" Jerald asked with a dark voice and narrowed eyes.

Shang slowly shook his head. "Not yet."

"Not yet?!" Jerald shouted in outrage. "George died, and you're not going to do anything about it?!"

Shang furrowed his brows and looked at Jerald. "I've told you of the Path I have chosen. Going now would be suicide."

Jerald clenched his fists until blood poured out, but then, he took a deep breath.

"I'm sorry," Jerald said. "I've lost control over myself."

"Me asking you to take revenge was stupid and hypocritical of me. I could do it just as well with my power. I'm genuinely sorry, Shang," Jerald said.

"I don't fault you," Shang answered. "We all say horrible things in horrible situations. You were the one that told me that even High Mages lose control over their emotions and do stupid things sometimes."

Jerald released a chuckle, but it sounded very unnatural and forced. Obviously, he was not in the mood to laugh or joke around.

"Do you have any plans?" Shang asked.

Jerald looked to the side. "I've made several plans over the past decades, but it isn't time yet to put them into motion."

Then, Jerald looked at Shang. "All of them require you to reach the True Path Stage first. I need someone that can kill a Mid High Mage."

Shang nodded. "What plans?"

Jerald took another deep breath. "I was stuck between three of them, not sure which one I should choose."

Then, an aggressive light appeared in Jerald's eyes. "But now, I'm sure which one I will choose."
