Way of the Knights

Chapter 636 - Council Summons

---

"The Sunken City of Atlantis..." Raven muttered as he gazed at the massive golden doors in front of him. He stepped forwards and felt the doors opening by themselves. 

Atlantis is another location within Mount Olympus where disciples converge to deal with Devils. At the title entails, it is located at the sea bed, protected with an aqua-marine barrier the prevents the sea from flattening out the entire place. 

Once the massive golden doors opened, Raven laid his eyes on a majestic city filled with hustle and bustle. He saw tall buildings with unique architectural designs. The whole city looked advanced but in reality, it's just some small nuances and the unique designs which makes it have this kind of impression. 

Far off the distance, Raven could see a tall and majestic castle, the most eye-catching place in the entire city. Raven walked inside the city and the golden doors automatically closed off behind him. He could feel the stares of people as he walked past them but he chose to ignore it. 

He observed the living conditions on the people here. From what he could tell so far, it doesn't appear that bad. This place is just like Tartarus without the foul odor or Greece but under the sea. The whole city was lit up brightly so there were no need for a sunlight. The air was fresh and there were vegetation everywhere.

The disciples here wore the same maroon uniform for the sect and they also have their badges, however most of them appear as if they were the really intellectual people which could be seen from the way they stand, talk and their mannerisms. It's like he surrounded by 'Elites', and honestly Raven was a bit confused but he didn't say anything since this doesn't concern him. 

As he walked around the city, Raven was being stared at by everyone who saw him. Although Raven didn't concern himself with this, he was being stared at since he was the real odd one out. First and foremost, Raven was not wearing any disguises. Meaning that his beauty was out for everyone to see and ogle at. 

Raven wouldn't know how many women and men, were swooning as he walked past them. Just from a simple glance, everyone could tell that this was Raven's first time in here. They've never seen someone like him before since they did then everybody's going to recognize him. 

The other reason why he's being stared at is because of his uniform. Unlike regular disciples, Raven is an official Heir, and he's not just an Heir of any other ancestor, he is the Heir of Chronos. His uniform was a bright crimson robes which hugged the sharp angles of his body, this made a stark yet fascinating contrast with his aqua-marine hair.

There's also a crest on the back of his uniform which looked like an hourglass in the middle of a ritual circle. His badge was also different. It's not the usual black badge but crimson colored one with golden rims. 

Those were what sets him apart from them. Of course when you add the fact that people of his status doesn't appear that often in public, and how a person of his status arrived here unannounced and with no entourage or an official welcome from the officials of this place, makes sense as to why he's caught everybody's attention. 

Like what was stated earlier, Raven had little to no interests on what they think of him. Even if he does hear about it, he's probably just going to ignore it. 

Raven continued to leisurely walk around, studying the Atlantis and memorizing the place. There would be times when he would stop on his tracks and stare at the bubble that is protecting and hiding this place from the sea devils freely roaming around. His gaze would pierce right through the protective barrier to stare at the large and probably dangerous creatures that are swimming about. 

'I am interested to see how these people deal with those.' Raven mused to himself. 'Ah, I've seen some sub-marine shuttles somewhere, there's a lot of it too. That's probably what they use to travel about.'

Raven continued on his leisure walk until he arrived at another set of gates and doors. He tilted his head and confusion and thought to himself: 

'Weird, why am I having some strange flashbacks when I saw this kind of division? Huh...' Raven shrugged and walked towards it. 

Just like before, the gates and the doors automatically opened up for him. It was only now that Raven noticed that there were actually no one who's manning these gates. In fact, he hasn't even seen a single guard doing patrols around this place. 

Raven thought for a bit and stared curiously his surroundings with his ocular vision active. He then discovered something pretty interesting which ended up with him starting at the tallest tower in all of Atlantis. An indiscernible smile appeared on his face as he murmured:

"I see...I get it now." Raven shook his head and didn't say anything more. He just walked through the gates and doors which closed up behind him as he did so. 

Raven thought that he entered what could be described as the 'Noble' district of Atlantis. The abodes and infrastructures here are more architecturally sophisticated and more advances. He could see some factories which are building ships that looked more advanced and expensive compared to the versions he saw earlier. 

He could also see numerous statues, gardens, benches made out of expensive materials, and so on as he looked around. 

'Yep, definitely the 'Noble District', and for some odd reasons I could really feel a strong sense of nostalgia in here. How weird...'

Raven continued his pace and just like before, he was the center of the attention wherever he goes. Not even the nobles were immune from his elegance as he walked past them leaving several people delusional.

"Hey, handsome!" Raven suddenly froze in his tracks as he felt an arm wrapping around his shoulder. He glanced sideways and saw a fat bellied man who reeks of alcohol and throwing some lecherous stares all over his body. "Are you new here? I know you are. Say, why don't I give you a tour of Atlantis, eh? I'm pretty well known in here and I can introduce you to many people who would 'definitely' love to know you."

Raven almost retched when he heard his words. In his mind he couldn't help but exclaimed: 'Really? Is this really happening to me right now? Being sexually harassed by this fat idiot?' 

A cold smile appeared on his face. Raven glanced around and saw some people hesitating on whether to step-in to interfere or cower in fear when they saw the cold smile on Raven's face. 

"Pretty famous eh? Alright then, can you tell me your name?" Raven asked. 

Although he was smiling, the people around him could tell that his smile is hiding something far too insidious. Some people even retreated upon seeing that and could only pray for the soul of this fat idiot. 

"Hah! My name is Genesis Wolfstein! The richest and the most famous celebrity in all Atlantis!!" The fat idiot patted his drunkards belly in pride as he announced his name. "How about you, handsome? Don't be shy, I can guarantee that with me here, no one will dare to lay a finger on you."

"Uh huh, yeah for sure." Raven inattentively said as he swiped away the man's badge and sank his perception on it. The fat idiot saw what he did and as he was about to ask what he was doing, Raven continued: "Genesis Wolfstein eh? A pretty unique name."

All of a sudden, much to everyone's horror. A boundless pressure descended not only in the Noble's District but to the entire Atlantis as a whole, alarming everyone who felt it. The fat idiot was the one who suffered the most from it, he was snapped out of drunken stupor and recalled what he was just doing right now and when he saw the uniform of the man in front of him, that's when he realized that he fucked up big time and lost all color on his face. 

"Hear me, Council. I hereby declare that Genesis Wolfstein, shall be punished to five years of forced service for violating three out of five major sect laws. He shall be sent to Tartarus to experience humbling and rehabilitation. I ask you, Dear Council, do you agree with my decision?" 

As Raven's deep voice echoed across all Atlantis, causing everyone to tremble in fear while they knelt down at the presence of the Council Summons, they looked up and saw multiple green lights descending around Raven. 

When everyone saw these green lights, they all thought of the same thing: 'That fat idiot's done for.' 

That's because those green lights meant the overwhelming support of the 'ENTIRE' council with Raven's decision. 

Raven glanced at the trembling guy prostrating on the floor as he said: "This punishment will start as early as now. All of your belongings will be confiscated and you'll only get them back by doing meritorious services. I hope you learn your lesson from now on, Dear Celebrity. Away with you."

As soon as he said that, a portal opened up from beneath Genesis and swallowed him up, that portal will take him to Tartarus where he will spend his time sentenced into forced service. 

Raven then looked up and at the tallest tower with cold piercing gaze as he said:

"Was that entertaining for you? Little Poseidon?"
