After briefly pondering the situation, Harvey York spoke again.“Since you’re aware of the incident there…“Then, you should know that it doesn’t matter if I have your family’s support or not.“What makes you think that I’d accept your loyalty in the first place?“This isn’t a garbage disposal, right?”“You will.Ledger smiled brightly. He planned to show his family’s worth then and there.“The Wolven Tribe and the four great tribes may seem all-powerful in the outskirts…“But this is just at first glance!“The three great temples have the strongest background in reality. More precisely, Adenar Temple.“The Border Force has the most powerful combat strength.“The most mysterious and terrifying organization is no doubt, Evermore!“With these three forces, even if you’ve already united the outskirts, obtaining the Nine Eyed Beads on the ceremony would prove difficult.“Besides, based on the information I received from my sources…“Your information has been spread to these b
“Directed toward me?” asked Harvey York right away.“I’ve done nothing to Adenar Temple.“Why would they go out of their way doing something like that?”Ledger York looked stern.“This is about Adenar Temple. Or rather, this is about an ancient myth of all the sects.“It’s said the founder of the most ancient sect had died.“But if the sects could flourish again and regain the glory they once had…“The founder would reincarnate.“Someone like that could only reincarnate inside the sects!“The three great temples brought up consuls and maidens for this exact purpose.“Then again, the sects suspected the person might come from outside the sects.“They naturally wanted to eliminate the person no matter the case.“If the Nine Eyed Beads were to end up with that person, it’d be the world’s end! Faith itself would be completely destroyed!“That’s why they don’t want to see the beads end up in your hands.”Harvey burst into laughter.“You’re saying that to Adenar Temple, or rat
Harvey York squinted. The information that Ledger York told him was definitely new.There was no way to determine whether the information was accurate, but that was most likely the case judging from Ledger’s attitude.Wealthy families aren’t the strongest in the outskirts. Rather, it was only natural for the sects with more than a thousand years of history to be just that.“If all you’re telling me is information that I’ll be able to find out sooner or later…“Then, it won’t be enough proof of loyalty.”Ledger nodded.“I know that much.“That said, I do have something that will.”“Tell me.”“We’ll divert their attention.Ledger showed a bright and ambitious gaze.“If you allow me, I have a way to get Evermore and the Border Force involved with the sects.“Amos won’t return to Adenar Temple unscathed either.”“What do you need?”“The two beads that you have right now.“This is an opportunity to gather the rest of the beads and also the best way to get everyone involved.
Romina Klein stared strangely after seeing Ledger York leave.“What was he here for?“Does he really have hidden motives?“He even brought up such a huge secret from his sect.”“You’re a prominent figure yourself, yet you didn’t get to see through that old fox’s goals.“He tried to tell me all that as proof of loyalty…“But he knows that once Amos shows himself in public, I’d be able to learn all that in the shortest time possible.“With that, he wouldn’t lose anything for divulging all that information in exchange for my trust.“Besides, he said he needed my Eyed Beads to stir conflict between the Border Force and Evermore. How much of that do you think it’s true?”“Probably half of it…?” replied Romina.“Not even one bit.“I guarantee if I handed him the One-Eyed Bead and the Nine-Eyed Bead…“All nine beads will be united in just half an hour.“Amos wouldn’t even have to show himself.“The destiny of the sects would finally be complete!”Romina frowned.“Wouldn’t they
After a while, in front of the No. 1 villa.Ledger York sat in the back seat of the Rolls Royce Phantom while profoundly squinting at the front door.“Should we leave now? Or should we bring the young master with us?” asked the butler beside him respectfully.Ledger’s expression kept changing for a long while.“We needed to put on a show.“But since there’s no way to continue the act anymore…“Then, there’s simply no point.“Tell Welt to head to Adenar Temple and report everything that had happened.“At the same time, tell the Young Master…“That the York family did its best.”Ledger seemed instantly older after saying those words.If he had a choice, he would stay away from the situation.In his eyes, the sects with a deep history and the unfathomable man he spoke to were insurmountable beings.They could crush the York family if they wanted to.It was a shame. Ledger simply didn’t have a choice.-Under the peak of Scuva Mountains.It was dubbed as Seasons’ Peak.Th
“You haven’t been outside for a long, have you?“Well?“Does this place suit you?”Welt York showed a pampering look, as if it would be a blessing for the young master even to look him in the eye.The two beautiful women beside the young master squinted around them before showing utter disdain.It was clear that after living in a constant paradise, everything in the real world seemed utterly filthy.The two other men, who seemed like protectors of the young master, gave a cold chuckle, staring at Welt as if he were a small ant.The young master, Amos Augustus, squinted at the outskirts’ district far away, then gave a short sigh.“Why do I have to show up for something this trivial…?“The subordinates really are getting more and more useless…Then, Amos glared at Welt.“Aren’t you pretty capable out of the entire Adenar Temple?“How did you get crippled and your arms broken like this?”Welt instinctively trembled before gritting his teeth.“There’s something you don’t know
On the second day of Amos Augustus’ arrival.Harvey York sat in the back seat of a Rolls Royce while heading toward Royal Clubhouse.Ledger York told Harvey he had prepared something to prove his loyalty and wanted Harvey to see for himself.Harvey did not know what Ledger had in store, but he did not mind taking a look either.After leaving the No. 1 villa, Harvey told Romina to send a few people to protect Harlan Higgs and his family.He did not have to worry about many people in the outskirts anymore, Mandy Zimmer included.She sent Harvey a text the last night, saying she would head to Wolsing at night after meeting an important guest.Harvey pondered the situation momentarily, thinking that he could have a meal with Mandy and send her off after meeting with Ledger.Around noon, Harvey reached the Royal Clubhouse.It was said that the place was designed based on an actual royal garden. Even in the outskirts, it was still a delightful place.Walking around the place would
Harvey York casually glanced at the picture.“Did you cripple him?“Or did you kill him?”“About that…Ledger York paused awkwardly.“You must be kidding, Sir York.“Amos aside, even the protectors at his side are Gods of War!“The maidens serving him are also unfathomable!“Other than that, he even brought thirty-six Brazen of Adenar Temple!“It’s said their Exorcism Formation can easily eliminate any God of War too!“I can’t just go up against people like that, Sir York!“Even if the York family does its best, we wouldn’t even be able to hurt let alone get close to them!”Harvey heaved a sigh.“You’re not telling me that this information is your so-called proof of loyalty now, are you?”“Why can’t it be?Ledger seemed determined.“You should know a prominent figure like Amos is completely secretive!“The people he brings and their strength are top secret as well!“We live in the age of information!“With enough information, you could stand your ground in the impend
