After hearing the door to that office open and the sound of footsteps coming from behind it, Ruth turned and looked at Abby. And in doing so, she could not help but notice subtle differences in Abby's appearance, things that were hard to miss between people who slept in the same bed every night. Because of this, she didn't even need to check the matter further when she promptly asked the most obvious thing that came to her mind. "Oh? You finally reached level 50, huh?" Ruth said in a soft tone while a discreet smile appeared on her beautiful face. "Hehe, congratulations on advancing, Abby!" Minos said as he got up from where he was standing so he could hug that girlfriend of his, who at the moment was looking more stunning than ever. Abby had just leveled up, something she had done outside the Spatial Kingdom. In these times of war, neither she nor most of the soldiers who knew of such a place were staying there for long. Minos himself avoided training in the Spatial Kingdom these days for too long! And due to this new routine of these essential soldiers of the Black Plain Army, Abby had made her advance at the headquarters instead of that cultivation sanctuary. In any case, after advancing a stage, she had gone through the traditional spiritual cleansing, something that had improved her physical qualities considerably. From her endurance to her physical strength, regenerative ability, beauty, and so on, everything was at a higher level at the moment, making her a much more complete warrior than before. While the advancement had made her more beautiful, the genuine smile of someone who had accomplished something so significant only made her more appealing to young Stuart. Abby was completing a childhood dream of hers. As such, she could not help but feel on cloud nine at this moment. Currently, she no longer had the 6th stage as her goal. After all, she knew she could go further with the possibilities generated by the army, the Spatial Kingdom, etc. But still, it was hard for a person not to get emotional when conquering their childhood dream, even in situations similar to hers. Therefore, she was genuinely happy, feeling good while having a contagious smile on her beautiful face. "Mmmmmm~" As she felt her great happiness for having risen at level, her boyfriend's tongue entered her mouth as he held her waist in a way that made her shiver. After kissing for a few seconds, Minos and Abby parted their lips. They looked at each other for a second, both smiling as their pupils moved synchronously. He then whispered in her left ear. "Later, I will teach you your 6th technique..." Abby closed her eyes upon hearing this as she ran one of her hands over the back of young Stuart's neck, massaging it and smelling her boyfriend's brown hair. "Hmmm." "Hey, you two! I'm here too!" Ruth said as she clapped her hands for the couple, who seemed to have forgotten her presence here. "Don't tell me you are going to start 'it' here?" "Hehehe, if it weren't for the important issues I have to deal with, I think that would happen..." Abby casually said as she winked at Ruth, teasing her. "What a good girlfriend I have... Hahaha." Minos said in satisfaction, patting Abby and then pulling her into an armchair next to where Ruth was sitting. "Too bad we're busy people..." "Tsk!" "You deserve each other..." Ruth jokingly commented as she got up from where she was and sat down next to Minos' arm that was free. After that, Minos began to tell Abby about everything he and Ruth had just discovered in those two regional periodicals, as well as his plans for the execution of Otis Silva. "Oh? So, you want to use this person's death to pave the future of the Black Plain, huh?" Abby commented in surprise, not disagreeing with Minos' visions. Unlike Ruth, who had grown up to become an elder of the Gray Cloud Sect, Abby had grown up to become one of the leaders of the Miller family. An organization focused on business operations. So, the knowledge of this blue-haired woman concerning management was somewhat superior to that of Minos' other girlfriend, despite the differences in the two's backgrounds. Hence, she had more easily understood what Minos wanted with that decision and readily agreed with it. "All right, I'll start organizing that later." "But I must say, that patriarch is either very lucky or very unlucky..." "His execution was already expected to happen in the next few days... But then this all happens!" Abby said as she laughed at Otis' misfortune. He would live a few more days because of such a decision. But even if that sounded good, it might not be the case for such a person. After all, Otis was getting the 'special' treatment from Minos' men. On the other hand, having his execution in front of the humble citizens of Dry City would be far less humiliating than having this on the cover of a regional periodical! Anyway, after they had talked about it briefly, Minos had finished what he had to say to Abby and soon after asked her about her business here. Abby was one of the leaders of his army. As such, she was one of the people who usually brought updates on the accomplishments of his forces to him. Therefore, she usually had much more official business to communicate to him than otherwise. But unlike talking about the results of the battles of the army soldiers around the Black Plain, which had been somewhat routine since the beginning of the conflict in this territory, Abby had some good news to report. "For now, the battles around our territory are still as before. Just conflicts of a few soldiers against a few enemies." "But now I am not here to talk about that. On the contrary, I have news about the level advancement of some combatants, allies!" She said in a satisfied manner. "Is that so?" Minos lost his serious expression and looked curiously at Abby. "Who advanced at level? When did that happen?" "That happened from two days ago. And since we only found out about some of this information from letters, I couldn't communicate to you about it until now." "Anyway, my mother has increased her level in the last few hours. So, with that, she has reached level 51." She said with a smile on her face, privileging the information about this person. She then continued with the other more relevant individuals who had also advanced recently. "On the other hand, Eduard reached level 53 earlier today, while we have news of Patriarch Hayes having reached level 58 two days ago." "Finally, two of the three elders from my family who came to Dry City recently have also leveled up. One of them has reached level 53, and the other has reached level 55." "That's not bad..." Ruth commented as she heard Abby finish listing all the advancements among Minos' soldiers and allies who were at the 6th stage. "That Eduard, he is your soldier, right? How strong should he be now? Equivalent to this region's experts at level 56?" She asked as she looked into Minos' brown eyes. "Probably level 55. Eduard changed techniques a few times, so his fight proficiency should be slightly lower than you would be at his level." Minos replied, remembering the vast knowledge he had. "I see... Still, that's a good addition of power to the army!" "Yes, it is indeed an excellent thing," Abby commented when she finally remembered something related to this person and asked Minos. "By the way, he and Celeste are still at that base waiting for your orders." "What do you want to do with them?" "Well, send a letter ordering Celeste to come here. Eduard will be in charge of that place for the time being." "Soon, King Brown will make his appearance in our territory. So, I will need the cooperation of that woman..." "Not only her, in fact..." He laughed at his own misfortune. "Only then will we be able to face a level 59 Spiritual King!"
