Chapter 197: Chapter 195: Burning Paper Money for You

Lord Prescott hurriedly greeted them outside the entrance of the outpost, bowing and saying, "Prescott of Quinn Base, Matthew, respectfully welcomes all the distinguished guests."

Several Demon Beasts descended with a rumbling thunderous roar. One of the riders threw a token at Matthew and coldly asked, "Where is Owen Bertram?"

Owen Bertram, the Commander, was still in his closed-door Cultivation, but when Matthew saw the token, he couldn’t help but tremble and wanted to kneel down.

"Find him!" The rider who was clearly the last in rank in the team still had a terrifying pressure. With just three words, Matthew immediately turned around to find Owen Bertram.

On the way, cold sweat gathered on Matthew’s forehead: Could it be that Master’s identity has been exposed? Otherwise, how could these big shots from the General Government have come all the way to this place?

Matthew had faith in the Master, but these people... after all, they were big shots from the General Government!

Even York Gordon, the Lord, and I would probably be implicated.

In his panic, Matthew knocked hard on the door, and Owen Bertram, displeased, said, "I told you I’m in closed-door Cultivation!"

Matthew stammered, "Master, something happened! People have come from the General Government specifically to see you."

Owen Bertram was taken aback, then asked, "Who has come?"

"The Chief Flag of South Prison, Commander Liam."

However, Owen Bertram’s eyes brightened: "Let’s go."

Matthew was puzzled: Why does Master look so eager?

He followed the Master, and suddenly remembered that Commander Liam was also from the Guardian Hall. The Gold-medal Arrester from the Guardian Hall had once specifically come to recruit Master... Could it be that Master had also joined the Guardian Hall?

But that doesn’t make sense. Others don’t know Master’s true identity. From the time Orson Everett came to recruit, how long has it been since Master got the attention of Commander Liam?

Matthew was reassured by the thought, and even more in awe: As expected of Master!

What others couldn’t do, Master could do easily, and he must have done so without revealing his identity.

After Owen Bertram came out, the Demon Beast riders examined him with the hidden eyes behind their masks. Owen Bertram greeted with a fist, "Where is Master Lane?"

The Demon Beast riders turned around and coldly said, "Follow us."

The Demon Beasts under their hips leaped into the air, stepping on the clouds of fire, and they took off two miles away. They suddenly realized something was wrong when they turned their heads to look back; there was nothing behind them!

Where was the little Commander?!

How dare he disobey the orders and not follow; or is his own strength so weak that he can’t keep up with the speed of our Demon Beasts?

Looking back at the outpost again, that fellow had no intention of following them in the first place; he had already turned around to go back and was about to enter the outpost...

"How dare you!" The rider who had been upfront burst into anger, took the Chain Lock reins, and the Demon Beast beneath him roared and rushed back to the outpost in a flash.

He pulled out his whip and was about to strike, but he saw the other man looking at him calmly, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"David," A majestic voice suddenly echoed in the void, and the whip in the rider’s hand stopped.

That voice said, "Give him your mount and come to me together."

Although the rider, David, was furious, he did not dare to defy that voice, and he replied, "Yes, sir." Then he got off the Demon Beast, threw the whip to Owen Bertram, and silently joined another rider on a different mount.

Owen Bertram caught the whip and took a look: this was the treasure to control the Demon Beast? He commented, "It’s just passable."

David the rider gave him a glare and turned his head away with a cold snort.

Owen Bertram mounted the Demon Beast and, to the astonishment of everyone at the Outpost, rose into the air on the clouds of fire.

It wasn’t until they had disappeared that Matthew dared to move again, wiping the sweat off his forehead with his sleeve. As expected, the Master was extraordinary. If it had been me in that situation, I would have obediently followed behind and completely forgotten about any dignity.

The voice that came through must have been from one of the big shots in the General Government, Commander Liam, who seemed to attach great importance to Master.

...

Thirty miles away, by the riverside, dressed in a scholar’s green robe, Commander Liam stood with his hands behind him on an isolated lonely peak. The River Wind blew, dancing his robes and long hair together. From a distance, it gave an indescribable ethereal quality, like a deep and far-reaching ancient painting.

The Demon Beasts rumbled and landed at the foot of the rocky peak.

The riders dismounted together and knelt on one knee, "Commander, Owen Bertram is here."

Owen Bertram followed them down and found that the Commander of South Prison, Liam, was staring intently at a small temple in the town across the river: The River God Temple!

Elder Brother couldn’t help but feel guilty for no reason. Could it be that he wanted to destroy my younger brother’s wicked worship?

Fortunately, Liam withdrew his gaze and looked at Owen Bertram, a mysterious force seemingly locking onto him.

He stared for a long while before slowly saying, "As expected, you are extraordinary, with an unfathomable depth of cultivation!"

Although Owen Bertram was startled, Liam didn’t mind and waved: "This is the cultivation world, everyone has their own chances of fortune, so I don’t care about your secrets."

"I only ask you this: how confident are you in this matter?"

Owen Bertram thought of his brother, "At least eighty percent."

Liam’s eyes remained cold for a long time, and he asked again, "What is the key to breaking the deadlock?"

"The confidant adviser of Prince Henry, Chunyu."

Liam’s expression remained unchanged, "How can we make Chunyu confess?"

"I have my secret methods."

Liam’s eyes were filled with disappointment, "Do you know that for a core adviser like Chunyu, Prince Henry must have arranged various secret methods to control him? Among them, there will be ’soul-confining curses’, not to mention making him confess; if he has any slight behavior impeding Prince Henry, he will be killed on the spot, and Prince Henry will immediately perceive it."

A few riders knew about the purpose of the trip and couldn’t help but feel angry when they heard Owen Bertram mention his "secret methods".

Unable to contain himself, David scolded, "A frog at the bottom of the well has misled both of our Lords! Your crude techniques have probably already fallen into Prince Henry’s sights. By now, he must have set a trap, waiting for you to step into it!"

"If it were that simple, just using the Puppet technique to control key figures, then there would be no difficult case to solve in this world."

"You’re incompetent and have implicated my Lord. You deserve to be killed for being so useless!"

Yet, Owen Bertram was calm and contemptuously glanced at David, "A rash man, unfit for great responsibility."

Enraged, David was held back by a companion next to him, "Don’t be disrespectful when the Lord is present. Whether this person lives or dies, it’s up to the Lord to decide."

Owen Bertram took no notice of them. Instead, he gave a fist salute to Liam on the lonely peak, "Master Liam, I admire you and Lord Dunn very much, but just admiration is not enough. If it weren’t for the treasures in Prince Henry’s Mansion, I would’ve turned and left, and never meddled with any affairs of the Guardian Hall again.

If both of you were to die for your country, every year, I will burn money as a tribute to you both."
