After Xu Yue demonstrated an overwhelmingly superior position, Atram naturally behaved himself.
At the same time, he began using his own resources and methods to make arrangements across the globe.
This was especially true after the ritual he had prepared was improved somewhat by Xu Yue, increasing its efficiency severalfold.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, he also arranged an identity for Xu Yue as a tuner living in seclusion in Port City.
After all, Atram had come to Port City to investigate the anomaly in the first place, and the report confirming that there was no problem had only just been sent back.
Using money to pave the way while taking advantage of his own official duties made it absolutely perfect.
Speaking of tuners, one had to mention the Magic Crests—the most important inheritance of Magus families.
A Magic Crest was the crystallization of generations of Magi's lifelong research. It was practically like an organ in itself, and even descendants of the bloodline could have compatibility issues.
At times like this, a tuner was usually needed to provide assistance and greatly reduce that rejection.
