"So, when are you leaving?" Kent asked Vexthra after sharing a few rounds with her. She was going back to the God Realm for a few days, so he wanted to make sure he sent her off well.
"I will leave tomorrow. I first have to make sure my new sisters have settled in and have received their rewards before leaving."
Now that Adina and Runa had also joined the harem, Vexthra wanted to give them a path as she did for the rest of her sisters.
Once that is handled, she can freely leave.
Of course, Kent would have to awaken their true nas later. But until then, their growth lies in Vexthra's capable hands.
Kent nodded and kissed her. Afterwards, they went one more round before he was ready to leave.
Liora and Selene were also ready to leave with him.
"I promise to co back into the tower every now and then to spend ti with you ladies; that is especially true for you three."
Kent's smile was at Arien, Indie, and Liora, causing them to smile. Unlike Adina and Runa, who cannot have sex with him yet, they can, and since they are his won now, it was only right to spend so quality ti together.
"We will be waiting for you," Arien said before hiding her face behind Indie. Kent smiled and made a ntal note to co back soon to get to know them so more.
Since he had awakened his assassin abilities now, he could even spend so ti with Indie on a mission, since she is also an assassin. So for now, he would take every opportunity he could get to spend ti with any of his wives.
'Co to think of it, taking them every now and then on missions will allow to spend more ti with them. Maybe I should do that instead.'
With his mind made up, Kent opened a portal using the Planet Teleporter, and soon, they were gone.

[Pyris Pill World]
It had been over 370,000 years since Kent had co to this planet. He planned to co back soday, but he never expected it to be this early.
Of course, to him, it is rely a few months since he had last been there. But in reality, hundreds of thousands of years had passed.
Now, he and his two wives had appeared sowhere in Pyris Pill World.
Kent quickly opened the Soul Map to see if he could recognise where they had appeared. It didn't take long for him to realise which city they were in.
"We are in the capital, Pyris City."
"I think so too. It has been 6,000 years, but I recognise so buildings," Liora said, looking around. She was now dressed in green with her true Pill Monarch Badge hanging on her lapel.
Kent only found out about her true alchemy rank today when they were getting ready to leave.
It turned out she was not only a genius when it ca to assassination, but she was also a good alchemist—sothing she learned just to blend in with everyone.
From Faceless's mories, Kent learned that one of the requirents he set for the assassins he had recruited was to have two identities that could not be faked.
Thanks to the Faceless Art, he can beco anyone he wants at any ti. However, his team of assassins had to learn. So instead of them straining themselves to copy others, he made them all learn different crafts.
So beca blacksmiths, artisans, alchemists, and many more.
This way, if they wanted a blacksmith dead, sending another blacksmith would not only allow them to get closer to their target much faster, but even the target wouldn't know there was an assassin after them.
When he killed the demon lord, he had to pose as an artisan for three years. By the ti he got the job done, he had forgotten about himself. Thankfully, one day, perhaps thanks to his subconscious, he ca back to his ho world.
The mont he got back, he recovered his true self. So, he made it a must to always rember to co back there whenever he forgot who his true self was.
So, seeing Liora as a Pill Monarch didn't co as a shock to him. If anything, he started to see her as a true assassin who deserved to beco a Faceless Agent.
She was also one of his trump cards to get back to the top chairs of the Midnight Shadows.
"Let's head to the Pyris Pill Pagoda. There is soone I need to talk to."
Neomi wanted to say sothing, but she held on, knowing Kent would find out soon enough.
They started moving toward the Pill Pagoda, still standing at the center of the city. Kent had been there multiple tis in the past, so he was happy to be back again.
"This place is amazing. I can sll only pills. It is almost as if the air here is made of pill ingredients," Selene said, looking around.
All she could see were stores either selling ingredients or herbs. "However, I can't help but notice all these stores have the sa mark on them. What are these marks?"
Even Kent was puzzled by the sa marks on every store they passed by.
"That is the mark of the current Supre Pill Family ruling this pill world."
Kent frowned upon hearing this. "Can you elaborate more on this Supre Pill Family?"
Liora nodded and started to tell Kent more about the nature of the pill world now.
"When I left 6,000 years ago, the Supre Pill Families had already monopolised the pill market in all ten Pill Worlds. They had taken over every Pill Alliance and now call them Pill Families.
In this Pill World, the forr Pyris Pill Alliance is now the Supre Pyris Pill Family, led by a Pill Sovereign, with so even saying they have Pill Legend backing them.
They have taken over the entire pill market, monopolising the entire Pill Pagodas.
The only competitor they had was the Dream Pill Empire, said to have been set up by Lady Veth and her friends. They have long ascended, but her legacy and support remain.
But even so, the Supre Pill Families are slowly swallowing her empire bit by bit. The Supre Pyris Pill Family is the strongest of them all, thanks to the legacy left by the long-ascended leaders of the then Pyris Pill Alliance."
"Oh, so it is a shit show now." Kent didn't want to show it, but he was pissed hearing what had beco of the legacy he helped build.
"There are those who still believe in the dream of the Pill Alliances. However, with the resources taken by the Pill families, they don't have any ans to claim what is rightfully theirs."
Kent scoffed.
"They have crossed a line, haven't they?" Selene asked, holding Kent's hand. She didn't care about the jealous looks people were flashing them.
She is super happy to be on this adventure with Kent.
"It will be either they pack out and leave, or I will kill every last one of them if that is what it's going to take."
Recalling how his influence back then had set the Pill Alliances straight, he now seed pissed that his efforts had turned into a mockery by these so-called Pill Families.
After a few minutes' walk, they saw the Pill Pagoda. They quickly moved toward it. In no ti, they arrived at its doors, where thousands of people were paying fees just to enter the pagoda.
This sight further angered Kent. The Pill Alliance, which he had left in Nefeli's capable hands, had now beco a mockery of its forr glory.
"Unacceptable."
Kent took a step forward and appeared before the gate. His clenched fist moved, and like a bomb, he blasted the gate wide open.
The impact shook the entire pagoda, calling out the fools who think they can take over sothing he helped build...
