Chapter 339 Confronting Lana
However, just as Kent turned the throne towards Autumn wind sect, his aunt Eila's image glowed on his sky orb. With a quick swipe, he accepted the communication request.
"Kent, we're getting late. Come fast. Your mother will be waiting for you."
Kent sighed heavily, his excitement tempered by the urgency. He stopped in mid-air, the Storm God throne hovering steadily beneath him. He took a moment to look in the direction of the Autumn Wind Sect, a pang of regret tugging at his heart.
He reluctantly turned the throne around, heading back towards Eila.
As Kent turned his throne around, a sudden gust of wind swept across the sky. From the distance, a colourful bird with vibrant feathers flew swiftly toward him, stopping just before his throne.
Standing atop the bird was a familiar figure that made Kent's smile vanish instantly. It was Lana, the girl he had violated for the golden goose.
Her eyes, filled with a mixture of anger and pain, locked onto Kent's. The intensity of her glare spoke volumes—she knew about the events of that fateful engagement ceremony night.
The colourful bird beneath her struggled to maintain its position against the sheer presence of Kent's mighty throne, its feathers ruffled by the powerful aura emanating from him.
With clenched fists and unwavering determination, Lana jumped onto the steps of Kent's throne. Her bird, sensing the throne's overpowering aura, flew back in fear, leaving Lana to face Kent alone.
Lana began climbing the 32 steps, one at a time, her eyes never leaving his. Kent could have easily thrown her off the throne with a mere thought, but he chose not to.
As she reached the 32nd step, Lana stopped, panting slightly from the exertion and the emotional turmoil. Kent stood up from his throne, his eyes meeting hers with a mixture of regret and resolve.
"Don't try, you can't walk past that step." He said firmly, walking towards her.
Lana's eyes turned red as she stared at Kent face. She reached into her storage ring and pulled out a small coat button, holding it up for Kent to see.
"You don't need to doubt. I'm the one who violated you. I'm the culprit." He said while staring back.
Lana's expression softened slightly, a pained look crossing her face.
He stopped a few steps away from her, his presence imposing yet regretting. "Tell me, what do you want to do now?" he asked sincerely, his voice calm but carrying the weight of their shared history.
"What can I do now? You are stronger than me. But I want to know why you did that? I didn't do anything wrong," Lana asked in a sobbing tone, her eyes filled with a mixture of hurt and confusion.
Kent took a deep breath, his heart heavy with the burden of the truth. "Lana, I was tricked by Larry of the Stokes family. He slipped an aphrodisiac into my drink. I tried to control my urges, but I failed to hold back. That night, I actually came to steal the golden goose, but things went out of control."
Kent continued to explain for a long time, while trying his best to sound polite.
Lana's anger began to subside as she listened to his explanation. Her breathing steadied, and a look of realization dawned on her face. Knowing the truth allowed her to relax, even if only slightly.
"I'm sorry, Lana," Kent continued, his voice filled with genuine remorse. "I know I can't undo what happened, but I want to make it right. I'll accept any punishment you deem fit."
Lana fell silent, her mind racing as she processed everything Kent had said. Till know, she only thought how to fight Kent for the wrong doing. But she never thought of what punishment she want to give.
Her mind raced with possibilities. At first she thought of some cruel things. But her heart couldn't agree to them.
After a few moments, she looked up at him, her eyes softening. "Marry me, in front of everyone." she said, her voice barely above a whisper.
Kent was taken aback, but he quickly composed himself. He could see the sincerity in her eyes, the vulnerability. "I promise you, Lana," he said, placing his hand over his heart. "I will marry you in the future. But I have to leave now for a long time. I will come back, I swear it on my dao heart."

Lana nodded, her eyes welling up with tears. Kent stepped closer, gently taking her hands in his. "I will come back for you," he said, his voice steady and full of conviction. "I promise."
She took a deep breath, feeling a sense of peace wash over her. With a final look at Kent, she turned and commanded her colorful bird to come closer. The bird landed, and Lana mounted it, looking back at Kent one last time.
Her filled with a mix of sadness and hope.
As Kent watching, she flew away, feeling a sense of determination and resolve.
As Lana disappeared into the distance, Kent stood there, his heart heavy but his spirit unwavering.
After sending Lana off, Kent's throne moved with swift speed, and he soon met with his aunt, Eila, who was waiting with a warm smile.
As they prepared to leave, Mohini and Lambu were staring at them from a distance. Mohini's eyes were dim, and even Lambu seemed to share her melancholy. With a heavy sigh, Mohini turned and began her journey back to the island of the Deity Sect.
Kent and Eila, soon reached the closest teleportation point of the Wizard Association. Eila directly placed a million mana stones in front of the guards and ordered them to transfer them to the central teleportation point at the heart of the Wizard Association summit.
The soldiers immediately bowed and followed her command. Within moments, they vanished and reappeared on the other side.
It is the summit of the wizard association tower. A tall water fall falling behind teleportation point.
The wizards around the teleportation point hurriedly bowed after seeing her 9th rank healer robes from 9 realm healers association.
