[Jacob Remock Hays]

The emperor and his regent walked into the downstairs area fluidly. When they walked in, they found all 69 in the room's center, chatting happily.

Kaze chuckled when he saw them. After his last session, everyone was so excited, nervous, or [afraid] that they assembled in the cultivation area an hour in advance.

"Kaze!"

"Hey, Kaze!"

"Emperor Scrawn!"

An explosion of hellos and suck-up statements assaulted him instantly.

However, everyone quieted down when they saw a familiar face.

Jacob Hays.

The scrawny geek with pockmarks, messy hair, and glasses less than a month ago was half as transformed as Kaze—so completely different.

He wore a light green button-up shirt, charcoal grey slacks, black leather shoes, and a matching belt.

His haircut was professional and well-tailored and suited his dirty blonde hair.

Most importantly—

Jake wasn't a virgin anymore, and everyone didn't need to know that Veronica seduced him to sense that.
