Exhaling deeply, Spencer scanned the expansive room that served as his office. This space, which once bustled with activity, now sat eerily empty and silent. Initially, Spencer was assigned three assistants to help lighten his workload. Their help ensured that he had ample time for his beloved Aria, his future wife.
However, ever since Aditya, the ruler of the Istarin Empire, returned from his brief visit to the Deep Sea Palace, Spencer's workload had drastically increased.

As a cultivator, he didn't struggle with staying awake; it was the taxing mental effort the work required that was challenging.
