Chapter 245: Chapter 243: Low-Level, Poor Ability_1

David suddenly let out a cold laugh and said, "Earl Harrison sure is a tough nut to crack, we’ve traveled a thousand miles to get to Looking Cloud Cliff, but he wouldn’t even let us through the gate. I’ve been with Master Lane for many years and this is the first time I’ve encountered such a thing.

Could it be that Earl Harrison is hiding something in the Prescott Group that he doesn’t want us to see, that’s why they’re not letting us in?"

Startled, David realised: he’s all alone right now, could these two fellows have intentionally created this scenario?

He had casually led them to Elmer Mountain, and these two took advantage of that...

He forced himself to stay calm and said, "Feather Cavalry General jests."

"No jests here." David’s face turned cold, "I’m someone who repays kindness with kindness and grudges with grudges. What if I killed you here and Owen and I report to the authorities that you suddenly attacked Owen. I had no choice but to protect Owen and had to kill you, do you think the authorities would punish us?"

The more Harrison thought about it, the more he was assured: That damned Owen, he’s been wanting to make a move on me all along! How stupid of me to walk right into their trap, and even give them the perfect conditions, - a deserted place and the chance to be alone - perfect for an assassination!

However, Owens softly shook his head and spoke, "Feather Cavalry, you misspoke. The report should say this: Earl Harrison had evil intentions, attacked me in an attempt to monopolize the mine. Despite his reckless madness, his strength was simply too weak. Being just on The Third Great Boundary, and me in the Fourth Great Realm, it was a simple counter-attack that he could not handle and ended up dead.

Unfortunately, because I just broke through to the Fourth Great Realm, I couldn’t control my strength and accidentally didn’t leave him alive, such a shame!

So, the reason why Earl Harrison was so hellbent on attacking his colleagues from the Horizon Bureau remains unknown - isn’t this a more logical narrative?

If you, being at the Fifth Great Realm, faced a minor cultivation at The Third Great Boundary and couldn’t manage to leave him alive, that would definitely raise suspicions."

David thumbed up, "Brilliant, truly brilliant, Master!"

Harrison clenched his teeth and felt a deep resentment in his heart. So what if I’m inferior in cultivation, do you need to keep flaunting your superiority over me!?

But he could really feel that Owen and David, these two bastards, weren’t joking around when they said all that, they were truly exuding a murderous intent- they weren’t just trying to scare him, they were actually planning to kill him!

Moreover, both Owen and David were casting an eye at Harrison the way a hunter would look at his prey.

Harrison felt a chill down his spine: These two madmen, they were actually planning on doing it? Make up a bunch of lies and then kill a powerful Earl of the Horizon Bureau?!

"Hahaha..." Owen and David suddenly burst out laughing. Their murderous aura vanished instantly, Owen gave Harrison a pat on his shoulder: "Just messing around, you’re not actually scared, are you, Earl Harrison?"

Harrison finally let out a sigh of relief, internally, he was furious, externally however, he dared not show it: "Of course not."

"That’s good then," Owen continued. "Earl Harrison tricked us into going to Elmer Mountain for nothing, we joked around with you a little, consider us even."

Harrison forced a reply: "I received an actual report of the Element-devouring Bee sightings..."

"Haha!" Owen interrupted with a cold laugh, waving his hand dismissively.

This time when Owen scared Harrison, it was his last test before he commanded the Divine Heavenly Soldiers. From Harrison’s reaction, it was clear that he really thought Owen and David wanted to kill him!

This reaction just happened to prove that Harrison had something to hide!

In that case, Owen didn’t have any doubts about making a move on him. As long as he captures him, there will definitely be gains.

All the positioned military officers who were out searching the mountains returned one after the other, reporting: "Sir, we found nothing." Owen’s face was as still as water, every now and then shooting Harrison a cold glance.

But, all of them had come back, except for Ethereal Devin’s squad.

They waited for half a Shichen (an hour), Owen raised his hand: "Use the Communication Talisman."

Nathan Lane immediately took out the Communication Talisman, after several tries, he finally got through. Ethereal Devin excitedly whispered, "Please wait, sir! We found something, we promise, you’ll be satisfied!"

He hung up the talisman before he could elaborate further.

Harrison was stunned: Could it be? They actually found something!

Harrison didn’t know whether he should feel relieved or worried: Ethereal Devin and his men found something, he could finally escape Owen’s accusations of having tricked them; but deep down, he did not want Owen to make any progress.

"As you can see, sir, I did not deceive you. There are indeed Element-devouring Bees lurking in these parts," Harrison spoke.

Owen didn’t respond, and waited for a whole Shichen, then he saw Ethereal Devin and a few others carrying something, excitedly running back: "Look, sir! Look what we found!"

Both Harrison and Owen were speechless, it wasn’t until they got closer that they could see clearly, these men had killed a wild pig-looking demon beast, which was most likely a Tire-1.

Their cultivation levels were too high for them to hunt.

"This is a Great Strength Pig! The most delicious demon beast stated in legends! It’s rare to encounter one of these. Decades ago it was almost hunted to extinction by the cultivators because its meat was so tender and tasty, I didn’t think we’d encounter one on Elmer Mountain, hahaha..."

"Sir, why not use ice magic to freeze it? Once we return to the outpost, we can have it cooked."

Ethereal excitedly said: If I could provide this fine food material, the master would certainly give me a share of the meal, right?

But slowly, he realised something was off, he was getting more and more excited, talking louder and louder, but the surroundings were getting eerily quiet. That’s when he finally noticed his own Lord Prescott’s glare had grown quite scary.

"Uh... sir?"

Owen coldly asked, "So this is the ’finding,’ the ’finding’ that held you up for hours, the ’finding’ you promised us we’d be pleased with via the Communication Talisman?"

Ethereal Devin replied, "After all, it is a Tire-1 Demon Beast, naturally it took us a while to set the trap and hunt it."

A military officer behind gently tugged at him, signaling him to stop talking.

Ethereal Devin shrank his neck as he saw Owen’s icy stare. From the side, Harrison laughed and said, "The soldiers under Owen’s command are indeed worthy. While everyone else is looking for the trails of the Element-devouring Bee, they thought of food- what’s the word for people like them... oh yes: ’Booze and food bags!’"

Owen, filled with disgust, shot Ethereal Devin a stern glance, then turned back to Harrison and said in a monotonous voice, "They naturally can’t compare to the elite soldiers under Earl Harrison. There’s nothing we can do about it, after all, with the head officer being so weak in cultivation and at low realms, his subordinates naturally have to fend for themselves, since the head officer can’t provide them adequate protection.

My subordinates are indeed a bit useless, but it isn’t their fault, it is my fault. I probably protected them too well."
