"Stop spurting nonsense!" Jordan's father instantly rushed out and cursed at Caspian. Then, he pointed at Caspian and roared, "That's just a third-grade weapon, so why would Jordan be interested in it! Stop trying to find excuses!"Keith warned, "Casper, even if you want to find an excuse, you should make up a believable one. Do you think that Caspian would be interested in your third-grade spear? Or perhaps you think the Lawrence family members are all fools?"Previously, Keith treated Caspian ruthlessly. Now, he was aiming at Caspian. With one sentence, Keith managed to put Caspian against the entire Lawrence family. Hence, his viciousness was evident.The atmosphere in the council chamber instantly became denser, and all the pressure was on Caspian. If he did not provide a satisfactory explanation, Caspian might die a horrible death! However, there was no panic on Caspian's face. Instead, he looked at Keith and sneered, "Master Keith, are you sure that my spear is just a third-
The words, my child, already explained many problems. Moreover, James spoke to Caspian with a negotiation tone, which was completely different from the previous hostile situation in the council chamber.Jordan's father, Keith, and those Lawrence family members who were cheering, all looked miserable at the moment.Caspian bowed as he cupped his hands. "Uncle James, the matter should be obvious now. Jordan saw that my Silver Scales Spear had an inscription on it, so he wanted to covet it, forcing me to give it to him. Nevertheless, this Silver Scales Spear was given to me by you, and you placed hope on me with this spear, Uncle James. Thus, Silver Scales Spear is not just a spear, but a spear of hope, which represents your hope for me, and I'll never give it away. However, no matter how hard I tried to explain, Jordan wouldn't listen, and he even reached to grab my spear. In the end, I had no choice… After all, it was not easy for me to reach the fourth stage of the True Martial Rea
Those that were present in this council mainly were the Lawrence family's seniors. Hence, they knew that each time the Lawrence family visited the Oceans Chamber of Commerce to purchase inscriptions, they would need to pay a hefty price.Those lower-grade inscriptions were still affordable as they just needed to buy those inscriptions drawn on paper.However, once they wanted to engrave the inscription on a weapon, the Lawrence family not only needed to pay for the inscription material cost, but they also needed to pay a high price for the inscription itself. Moreover, the cost of inscription itself was usually much more costly than the inscription materials.However, Caspian suggested drawing four pieces of inscription for the Lawrence family. In contrast, he only took one for himself, which was simply a charity.After all, drawing inscriptions required a lot of energy.Under James's order, someone quickly brought over the materials that Caspian needed.The council chamber was
"No! That's not it!" Chris did not expect that Maisie would have such a big reaction, and he was startled. He hurriedly blocked her path and explained, "He didn't come, but someone else did."William noticed something fishy and asked, "Eh? What's going on? Are you saying someone else is here to sell the same weight inscription?"Maisie stopped in her tracks, and her expression turned solemn.Chris quickly answered, "That's not the case. A Lawrence family member brought this weight inscription over, and he wanted me to verify its authenticity. I noticed that the pattern was the same as the teenager's, so I rushed over to let you two take a look at it.""I see." Maisie felt slightly better.She had the same reaction as William just now, thinking that someone else was selling the weight inscription. If that was the case, it meant the youngster was a cheat.When Chris mentioned that someone else was here, Maisie felt an ineffable pang of disappointment in her heart. Nonetheless, af
After pondering for a while, William answered, "Maybe he has his struggles." As William could tell that Maisie admired the teenager named Casper, he put in a few good words for him.Maisie nodded. "Mm… Maybe that's the case. Otherwise, I really can't understand why someone who achieved the fourth stage of the True Martial Realm and an inscription genius would want to enter another family's house as their son-in-law. But, I can't say much now that I know his status."When he heard this, William instantly understood Maisie's worry.Maisie indeed admired Caspian, but if she showed up, anyone would easily think of the influential person behind her.Moreover, if that influential person connected with Caspian, she might only bring him trouble, not pride.William agreed, "Lady Maisie, your concerns are valid. Besides, there must be someone amazing behind Casper since he has such accomplishments in inscriptions, and he could be engraved on low-rank weapons.Maisie nodded.Some people we
It was a gilded gift certificate in the letter.James saw the gift certificate from afar. After all, he was only qualified to look at it from a distance.It was a gift certificate that could be used for William's inscription.By using the gift certificate, one would not only get William's inscription, but they would not need to pay any fee either.Moreover, not more than three families in the entire Evergreen Town had received the Oceans Chamber of Commerce gift certificate.James felt as if his knees went weak. Besides, he knew well that William did not give the voucher to him for no reason. He did this because of Caspian! At that moment, those elders behind James's back could not utter a single word. Instead, all of them stared at the voucher in surprise, and their eyes glistened with terrifying lights.These people felt as if blood was surging into their heads.With a loud thud, Keith fell and sat on his chair. His face was so ashen as if he had lost his soul."What happe
James was unbothered, and he did not even spare Keith a glance. Instead, he was still looking at Caspian, waiting for Caspian's reply.Keith was so anxious that his face was flushed as red as a beetroot. He moved agitatedly as he argued, "James! That's against the rules! Casper is not a Lawrence! How can he… How can he represent our family! He can't even…"At this time, Caspian suddenly answered, "Thank you, Uncle James. I'll not disappoint you." Although his voice was not loud, it had an indescribable momentum, and it instantly suppressed Keith's shouting.Keith stared at him wide-eyed and pointed at Caspian with his trembling hand. Caspian glanced at Keith, then spoke to James, "If I have the chance to enter the gateway to immortality in the future, I'll remember you and the Lawrence family's support." Keith was so angry he almost blew his head off. He wanted those family members that supported him before to help him now, but when he swept his gaze across those people, every
Caspian narrowed his eyes as he looked at Yoel, giving him a warning.The surrounding air around them seemed to have frozen.Yoel could not explain why but he felt as if a boulder was pressing onto his chest when Caspian was staring at him, and he felt suffocated.At this time, Yoel could not help but regret what he said just now."Provoking you—" Caspian suddenly smiled and took out a dagger from his chest. "That's the one. Yoel thought Caspian gave in, but just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly saw Caspian tightening his grip on the dagger.Crack—An uncomfortable sound rang, and that first-grade weapon was twisted and deformed.Then, Caspian rubbed his hands together, and the initially sharp and straight dagger was rolled into an iron ball easily as if it were dough.Bang! The iron ball fell beside Yoel's foot, and he was so scared that he jumped.Next, Caspian sneered. "This is provoking, okay?""You… You… You… Casper! You dared…" Yoel stuttered, and his f
