“Master Gray?”Everyone there knew who the man was—even Taylor, the patrol from Eternalporium.Guardian Palace elaborated, “Master Gray is a superb master of Eden Joy who’s practiced in charmboards, magic circles, and spells!“Master Gray’s ability in spells, in terms of his level, has already reached the standard of a warlord or smasher.“Even the owner of Eden Joy has to politely address him as Mr. Gray when they meet!”The men were shocked. Taylor asked in disbelief, “His spell-casting ability is equivalent to the level of a warlord? Are you serious?”Guardian Palace answered nonchalantly, “Of course! Would I be lying to you all?”Taylor was astonished, a huge wave of shock washing over him inwardly. He was not even this startled after learning that the owner of Eden Joy had improved in the level of a warlord. He did not know Adalon, but he knew how hard it was to become a spell-casting master.Without any exaggeration, a spell-casting master was a terrifying existence. Warl
“Alright, since everyone’s here, let’s discuss the matters pertaining to the alliance.”Falon nodded with a dark gaze as the others had no objection.Guardian Palace said, “Kayson mustn’t be underestimated. The deterioration of the Friths is the mistake and loophole of our insufficient communication.“So, the most crucial decision of this meeting is to elect a suitable candidate who everyone acknowledges to have the right to deploy all the resources and network.“As for the people under you, you should manage them on your own.”Sir Osborn wore a cryptic expression. “Who’ll be the one to call the shots then?”Everyone present was significant. No one was willing to become a subordinate. Even though this arrangement was only temporary, it was still disgruntling.Guardian Palace answered, “I think I’m not qualified as I’m only a guardian. Beckham, Mr. Wolfenden, and Mr. Miller forgive my straightforwardness, but I’m afraid you guys aren’t qualified either.”Falon glared at Guardian
Beckham was fearless. “Aren’t you telling me that you’re sending someone from Eden Joy to take over my place in the company?“I’ll have you know right now that it’s impossible! I’ve been painstakingly running this company for years, and you want me to hand it over to you just like this?”Sir Osborn frowned. “Mr. Yoder, this is only for the time being. You don’t have to oppose it so strongly.”“For the time being?” Beckham snorted icily. Others did not know what Eden Joy was like, but would he not know?It would be next to impossible for anyone or anything controlled by Eden Joy to want to leave. Eden Joy’s domineering ways had never been shown outside, so outsiders did not even understand what it was like!Only people with sufficient status and level who worked under Eden Joy—like him—were aware of how difficult it was to leave Eden Joy. It was similar for the grandmasters as well, and some were even killed directly!If Kayson had not saved him, the businesses and assets he had s
There was also Swenson, who had not shown himself yet. Due to Master Severin and Randall’s death, Kayson had almost caught up to the number of experts they had on their side!Beckham pulled out the chair behind him and asked respectfully, “Mr. Yarde, have a seat.”As Kayson went over and sat down, it was as if the table of people who had been fussing about killing him earlier turned mute.“You guys are really putting in a lot of effort just to tackle me. A young lad like me from the far countryside is surprised by the attention.”He then lightly placed his palm on the table.A wave of power not unlike a blade of wind tore the solid meeting table directly and swept toward Guardian Palace.Guardian Palace was alarmed and frantically churned his inner energy to defend.The next second, Kayson’s powerful steel energy destroyed Guardian Palace’s inner energy like the sharpest blade in the world and cut his right arm off.“Argh!” Guardian Palace’s legs gave out, and he fell to his kn
Taylor suppressed the thrill he felt and kept an angry front.“Okay. Since you’ve chosen betrayal, I believe that you’ve thought about the consequences.”Seth did not want to argue with him. They were just fighting for a better future. The Cadogans did not prioritize them. Why else would they send them here to keep an eye on the Wolfendens? They were nothing in the eyes of the Cadogans, unworthy of a mention.When the Cadogans wanted to use them, they had to properly and reverently receive the person sent, even if it were only a child. The Cadogans could easily wipe them out if they did not want them anymore.Perhaps, working for Kayson could warrant a different future. The man knew how to repay favors and was a prodigy in martial arts. His future was bright. In addition to his miraculous medical skills, he seemed a better bet than to work for the Cadogans.At least, with Kayson, they had the chance to be one of the first people who worked for him and be prioritized.Kayson took
Nobody dared to make any sound after the commotion. The initiator of the meeting had lost an arm. He dared not to utter a single word and cowered in the corner alone, gnashing his teeth.Taylor, the strongest of them, took a few steps back after receiving a punch. He was no match for Kayson at all.What’s worse, two of his allies had already turned their coats.After all, they did not see any need to join forces since they couldn't defeat Kayson no matter what.“Are you scared now, Mr. Miller?” Sir Osborn indifferently asked after he came around to his senses. “Did you not see how powerful he is, Sir Osborn?” asked Falon.“Yes, I saw it.” Sir Osborn did not seem as shocked and solemn as he was before. Not only that but there was also a faint smile on his wizened face.“Then why you—” Sir Osborn stopped Falon before he could even finish his sentence.“Joining forces isn’t entirely meaningless.” Everyone turned their heads and looked at him in shock.A trace of light flashe
Kayson replied, “He’s my bait. Right now, we just need to wait for the bigger fish to take the bait.”Besides, if we kill him, other people will be left. Do I have to kill them all as well?” Kayson shook his head. “If they want to join forces, I’ll let them have what they want. When the time has ripened, I’ll get rid of them together.“People always say that if we don't kill a snake thoroughly, it'll come back and bite us. I don't have the time and energy to get rid of them one by one.”Beckham said worriedly, “But Mr. Yarde, if they join forces, it'll be a force to be reckoned with. You need to be careful.”He had faith in Kayson’s strength, but it did not mean that Kayson was fully capable of handling them all by himself.Bryson let out a cold snort and chimed in. “You guys need to have faith in Dr. Yarde, like me. I am confident that Dr. Yarde is able to solve the problem himself.”“We have faith in Mr. Yarde, but—”Beckham wanted to say something, but when he saw the frown
Hell Doyen had been meditating. When he heard Adalon’s voice, he opened his eyes and shouted excitedly, “Adalon! You’re finally here!”Adalon let out a sigh of relief when he saw that Hell Doyen was safe. He then turned to look at Taylor and asked, “Patrol Yost, I’m going to take my junior out of here. Admiralporium won’t have any problem with it, right?”Taylor let out a laugh and said, “Sure! You can take anyone you want with you. After all, I’m the one who makes the call in Admiralporium right now!” Adalon did not like to deal with the people from Admiralporium, but this time, he offered Taylor a polite smile. “Thank you very much, Patrol Yost. I’ll return the favor to you one day in the future.” Taylor hastily made a bow and said, “My pleasure, Master Gray!”After that, he opened the door, and Hell Doyen’s face sank.He gnashed his teeth tightly and hissed. “Adalon, you need to kill Kayson!” Adalon let out a cold smirk and said, “That’s my purpose for coming back here t
