Within the living rooies, Director Maia,” Linley said humbly, “But for now, I really do not wish to put this sculpture on auction, nor do I wish to display it But I can guarantee that if in the future I do desire to auction it off, or to put it on exhibit, I will beseech the Proulx Gallery to assiston his cane, Director Maia s you to consider displaying your sculpture in our gallery was only a secondary purpose My prienius, the likes of e ht see once in a trillion years”

Just at this tier humbly smiled towards Director Maia, then turned to Linley and Yale “Youngmaster Linley, representatives from the Rhine E , Director Maia stood up “Linley, seems like you’re quite busy nowadays Then I won’t disturb you for now I’ll take my leave”

As he spoke, Director Maia led his attendants out of the hotel

Linley looked at the hotel ht now, I do not wish to meet with representatives of the Four Great Empires or the Dark Alliance” Linley very bluntly refused to meet with any of the people who had come to see him Linley knew very well that if he were to meet with representatives of the Four Great Ereat dissatisfaction with the Radiant Church

After all, as soon as he met with them, even if he refused their offer in the end, the Radiant Church would still be suspicious of hi

And the Radiant Church had trehout the Yulan continent It was no weaker than any of the Four Great Empires There was no need for Linley to join with the Four Great Empires or the Dark Alliance

………

Three days later Within a carriage headed towards Fenlai City were Linley and Yale, while Reynolds and George remained at the Institute

“Third Bro You are wise indeed These past two or three days, representatives from the Dark Alliance and the Four Great Ehed The people who had come to meet with Linley were all people with soanizations, albeit they were based in the Holy Union

None of those people, however, were ures After all, the news of a seventeen year old dual-ele period of ti its way to the Four Great Empires and the Dark Alliance This was because the distance was simply too far

All of those people who attempted to meet with Linley had made the decision to contact him on their own authority

Unfortunately, all of them were stopped at the door by Linley’s directive

“Yale, that family which collected the ancestral heirlooet back the ‘Slaughterer’ fro to be that difficult?” Linley was heading off to Fenlai City for the express purpose of taking care of this affair

Yale nodded “Right At first, I was so eager to share the news that I didn’t look any deeper into this clan But now, it appears this Lucas clan is quite extraordinary”

Linley nodded slightly

A clan which had purchased his own clan’s ancestral heirlooo clearly was not a recently established minor clan

“The Lucas clan is also a fairly ancient clan, with about a thousand years of history In the entire Kingdo, but in terst the nobility, they are quite powerful Most importantly of all…the clan leader of the Lucas clan is an extremely obstinate old man, and a serious hoarder That ancestral heirlooonblood Warrior Although it’s been over a thousand years since a Dragonblood Warrior has appeared, this weapon is still so quite special And what’s more, that weapon of your clan is worth at least a few hundred thousand gold coins”

“But even if you had the money, based on the obstinate nature of the clan leader of the Lucas clan, you hed as he spoke

Some people couldn’t be moved by money alone

“Linley, if my Second Uncle lends a hand and utilizes the connections that our Dawson Congloeezer sonificantly” Yale suggested

Linley knew that Yale spoke out of good intentions, but Linley truly did not wish for anyone else to assist in this matter

“Let me try first If I absolutely cannot convince hihed

Suddenly, Linley felt a shudder next to him And then, Bebe’s tiny for sleepily at Linley and Yale At the sae is so slow I’ve slept for a good while now, but we still aren’t at Fenlai City yet”

Hugging Bebe, Linley said, “Alright, that’s enough After a while, we’ll be there”

Suddenly…

“Aaaah!” A e cae, Linley and Yale both felt the carriage suddenly shake The look on Yale’s face changed “Not good”

“We would like to invite youngvoice elances For their opponent to be able to surround and stop the demonstrated that the opponent clearly was more powerful than thee

Right now, their two bodyguards of the seventh rank had both collapsed onto the ground, staining it with their blood Even the carriage driver had collapsed For a warrior of the seventh rank to be killed without even being able to react was a clear indication of their opponent’s strength

“Young masters Linley and Yale, we come without any ill intentions We just want to invite Linley to co master Yale, naturally on’t harreenish-black clothes Their leader, a man covered in knife scars, was the one who had spoken
