Chapter 1407: Chapter 526: Great Soul Ring Protection_1

Owen Bertram rolled his eyes at Princess Amelia: Getting into trouble and attracting such a young playboy, making him jealous with me, is it really amusing? Besides, we still have important matters to deal with.

Princess Amelia gave him a bored look, as if complaining: I’ve been waiting here for you for a long time, bored, and had to find something fun.

Just show your domineering side and send this youngster away, and we’ll get down to business.

Owen Bertram wanted to say that she should solve her own troubles, but looking at the harmless appearance of the fellow, if she were allowed to handle it, she might immediately turn into a "tusk" state, right?

Owen Bertram sighed, always the people of my Greater Wood Territory. Owen Bertram looked at the group of people and said, "Thank you all for taking care of my sister. Let’s part now, and if we have the chance, let’s meet again."

But the young man was very attentive: "Please stay, brother! I just learned from chatting with your sister that we are on the same path. Why don’t we go together? The two of you are weak in numbers on your journey, and if you join us, my household guards can provide protection."

Owen Bertram glared at Princess Amelia, you even mentioned "on the same path," and you still want me to send them away? You’re just digging a hole for me.

However, the next things indeed are not suitable for outsiders to follow along. Owen Bertram once again made it clear that he refused: "No need, both my sister and I have the ability to protect ourselves."

Owen Bertram has already hinted to the young man: You have been fooled, "my sister" is not a weak girl, she has the ability to "protect herself," and her timidity just now was just an act. But the young man seemed to have fallen into some kind of love-struck state, completely oblivious to Owen’s hint, and still persistently said: "Brother may not know the current environment here. The Demon Clan has been defeated and fled, but there are many remnants of the Demon Clan’s defeated soldiers still lingering near Customs City. They are extremely fierce, and it is not just a matter of plundering wealth. If the two of you fall into their hands, your fate will be unimaginably tragic..."

Owen Bertram grew impatient and simply said bluntly: "Young master, I have some status in Greater Wood Territory, and I really don’t need you to make a scene."

"Ha!" The young man laughed, "Your Excellency, you really don’t know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is. My family didn’t allow me to reveal my identity easily when I was outside, but I didn’t expect anyone to show off in front of me." He turned to face one of the elders among his entourage, and said, "Mr. Jamal, this is not me bullying others, but someone wants to use their status to oppress me."

The elder cultivator nodded: "If the young miss asks later, the old husband will testify for the young master, the young miss also said, we absolutely do not bully others, but we also cannot be insulted by others."

The young man turned back, raised his head, and said to Owen Bertram: "I am the fifth young master of the Devin Family, Chrit Devin. Now, do you think I am qualified to protect your sister?"

Owen Bertram’s eyebrows twitched and he asked, "Which Devin Family?"

Chrit Devin said, "Exactly the Devin Family you think of, with Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow, revered Lord of Summit Metropolitan Office, the newly prominent Devin Family of Greater Wood Territory."

When Chrit Devin and the household guards behind him mentioned "Devin Family," their expressions naturally showed a bit of arrogance. The Devin Family nowadays can be said to be hot in Greater Wood Territory, and everyone flatters them. The Devin Family members themselves don’t even remember when they started getting all kinds of privileges whenever they went out and reported the name of the Devin Family. Not only were sects and prestigious families actively making friends, but even many government offices were willing to help.

Later they gradually figured it out, because there were rumors in the neighborhood that Miss Vanessa of the Devin Family was well-reputed under that Owen Bertram and was very likely to be one of his red-faced confidantes.

This kind of "reputation" made Vanessa very troubled. At the beginning of their acquaintance, there was indeed some ambiguity between her and Owen Bertram. However, as Owen Bertram stepped into the top ranks, Vanessa, Nathan Lane, and other early "servants of the dragon" gradually fell behind Owen Bertram’s pace.

The limitations of their talent were not because Owen Bertram did not support them. In fact, their group of old colleagues who still held important positions now had priority access to all kinds of cultivation resources, which was enough to show Owen Bertram’s memory.

Now Owen Bertram’s most trusted subordinates were the Heaven’s Chosen on the Dragon and Snake List.

However, Vanessa was stuck with the title of "red-faced confidante"...which was very frustrating. Several times, she wanted to go to Owen Bertram and ask him directly: Do you really mean that, and if so, why haven’t you taken any action? If not, why don’t you order an end to these rumors?

But in the end, she was too thin-skinned as a girl, and hesitated several times without daring to go. Vanessa found that her time under Owen Bertram was becoming more and more cowardly.

In fact, she didn’t know that Owen Bertram was getting busier and busier and had no energy to take care of these "trivial matters." And concerning these kinds of rumors, no one in the Horizon Bureau dares to report them to Owen Bertram. Isn’t that chewing on his tongue right in front of him? Is life too enjoyable?

Vanessa returned home several times and strictly ordered her family not to use the Devin Family’s name - in fact, it was her own name - to act recklessly or even expose the Devin Family’s identity casually.

However, with Vanessa’s experience under Owen Bertram, there were many "business opportunities" in the Summit Metropolitan Office, as long as the Devin Family was willing to participate. For example, this time Chrit Devin followed the army closely and arrived at Customs City just as the battle was over. He wanted to continue northbound, using the old slaver routes to expand some business.
