"In the end," Asher muttered with faint pride, "the territory I built eventually became almost one-third the size of Ivy's own base."
Not only did he successfully establish it, but he had also started managing and ruling it personally.
From time to time, he would return home and proudly share updates with his parents and family.
However... everything eventually fell apart.
"A rebellion broke out," he muttered coldly.
Ivy quietly looked at him.
Asher clenched his fists tightly before continuing,
"And the one who organized it... was my own best friend. Garrett."
Bitterness filled his voice heavily.
Apparently, Garrett had secretly grown jealous of him for a very long time.
According to Garrett, Asher was nothing without the support of heroes and powerful awakeners standing behind him.
He believed that if Asher were truly forced to handle things alone, he would fail miserably.
Hearing such accusations had enraged Asher completely.
