Permission

The man who questioned Vicente's reason for seeking permission to hunt was a 9-Star Grand Magus, by far the most powerful in terms of cultivation base that he and his companions had ever seen.

They knew that in the Humfail Reef there were individuals stronger than this guy, as well as several others of similar cultivation. But they hadn't interacted with anyone like that until they came across this member of the local sovereign army, waiting for them in the room that had called his number.

Vicente became a little more serious, not worried about some kind of combat, but about the political problems he could face locally if he made a mistake with such a strong and well-placed individual.

Before giving his answer, Vicente saw how the local forces attached importance to the matter he was seeking there. The person who was receiving him was certainly one of the strongest on the whole island. Why would someone like that deal with a bureaucratic matter like this?
