Seth and Leora returned to Maya’s office, where the others had already gathered, receiving news of Seth’s return. After exchanging a few words with each of his wives, Seth explained his current situation, condition, and further plans.
The news of another seclusion, even longer than the previous one, immediately dampened the mood in the room. Maya and Hollie were already aware that was bound to happen eventually, so they were expecting it more or less. Still, for the others looking forward to his recovery so they can spend time together, this came as a huge blow.
After promising to spend some time with each of them to make up for the time he was going to be secluded, Seth also made some concessions about his seclusion this time after getting the girls to promise to focus on their cultivation.
The peaceful situation of the continent made this period the best time to cultivate, and everyone understood that, so they quickly agreed after extorting some more benefits from Seth.
