Chapter 49: Chapter 49 Superior golden nose

It took about half an hour of Michael explaining the creation of the Reborn company for Seberus to finally calm down. "You know, for an 8 - star wizard with the title of Tranquil Blazing King of Fire, you're surprisingly adept at water," Michael joked. Seberus sat in his chair, fanning himself to calm down. "It's your fault," Seberus said. "Who would have thought that you're the one who created Reborn Chess? I thought it was someone older and wiser than me…" Everyone in the Magic Tower thought that the owner of Reborn was a hermit who recused himself from the world. Now, that image was broken, replaced by Michael's sly smile. "What kind of monstrous genius are you? Magic, Business, Supreme Skill…you have everything, don't you? What a cheat!" Seberus could only curse his own talent. Even though he was once considered the most talented Fire mage in the world, even he felt like a fraud in front of Michael. He was the true genius. "Let's get back to business. Now that I beat you, can I count on you to help us with the Sewer System?" Michael asked, expectant of Seberus' answer. The old man nodded his head exasperatedly. He was still a little bit salty after his loss against Michael. He never thought he was fighting against the very creator of Reborn Chess - of course, he was going to lose! "Good!" Michael pumped his fist. "I'll tell Castelle that we can start the project as soon as possible." But before he could leave, Seberus raised his hand and stopped Michael in his tracks. "Wait a minute," he said. "There's still a little bit of a problem with the River Dames." Seberus waved his hand, and a parchment paper with a drawn sketch of some kind of monster appeared in his hands. "We've been having reports that people are seeing a slimy beast in the river. We've dispatched some mages to take care of it, but we've yet to completely destroy the monster. It's best if you let us take care of it for a few more days before you start the construction." The Tower Master handed Michael the parchment paper, showing him the supposed monstrous beast that was hiding in the depths of the River Dames. It showed the silhouette of a creature that seemed to be composed of sludge made out of garbage and waste. It didn't have legs and only had arms, which were up in the air as if it was deliberately trying to scare someone. And as soon as Michael saw this image, ChatJK2 suddenly said something in his mind.
