Chapter 365: Chapter 329: Promotion Strategy (Three in One)_4

Abner Lane was so angry that he wanted to strike through the air with his sword, "You rebellious rascal! Are you now meddling with my personal affairs? Do you have a death wish? And when have I ever craved anything?"

Actually, Master Lane was already feeling a bit guilty...

As expected, Owen Bertram said, "Lord Liam has extorted a great sum from me!"

He embellished the "transaction" he had with Nick Liam, but it only resulted in Abner Lane breaking into hearty laughter, "Hahaha..."

How refreshing!

We couldn’t handle you, so now someone else can!

Hurts, doesn’t it, with your heart bleeding out? It serves you right!

"Master..." Owen Bertram said in a low voice, "I am your subordinate, but you are obviously gloating over my misfortune, which is not very honorable."

Abner Lane said, "That woman just wants your money. Who asked you to provoke her? However, since you have already reached an agreement with her, I will propose a plan for you immediately. Upgrading Summit Command Office is not a big issue, just wait for the good news."

Then Abner Lane quickly extinguished the Communication Talisman, not giving Owen Bertram the chance to gossip about Nick Liam.

Owen Bertram pouted his lips and put away the Communication Talisman, "Feeling guilty now, aren’t you? Hehe!"

...

Old Fisher and David speculated that with Lord Algernon’s temperament, he would probably suppress the seven Prescott Groups upon his return with thunderbolt force.

However, after Owen Bertram asked Old Fisher about the situation, there was no news from him.

After Rachel and Emma Scott arrived at Looking Cloud Cliff, they were also waiting for Lord Algernon’s arrangement.

Both of them had expectations and concerns about the positions that Lord Algernon could grant. Now that they were tied to Owen Bertram’s chariot, they had to accept whatever position Owen Bertram gave them.

But if the position was too low, they would surely feel disappointed.

But as they waited, Owen Bertram did not bring up the matter.

After resting at Looking Cloud Cliff for a day, Owen Bertram gathered everyone, leaving David to guard Looking Cloud Cliff and sending Old Fisher to guard Black-water County, while the rest of his men returned with him to the Summit Guard Post!

Everyone was unsure of what Lord Algernon’s intentions were, but they dared not ask.

With the help of the same Iron-Shell Battleship, assisted by Old Two underwater, the group followed the river downstream and returned to the Summit Guard Post after several days.

Verna burst out of the outpost, opened her arms, and exclaimed happily, "Brother!"

Then she crashed headlong into her elder brother’s arms.

In front of so many people, Owen Bertram had to maintain his commanding officer persona, so he had no choice but to endure Verna’s collision – thump!

Owen Bertram felt as if he had been hit by a flying pig – scratch that, how could he describe his own sister like that?

It was more like being hit by a prehistoric giant boar, with his whole body feeling like it was about to fall apart, and the pain almost bringing tears to his eyes!

And he who is in the Fourth Great Realm!

But when he saw his sister’s smiling face, warmth filled Owen Bertram’s heart. He ruffled her hair and said, "You’ve lost weight."

Verna pouted, "I had no appetite since you weren’t around."

Matthew, Alvin Morgan, and Bennett Basil followed behind with colorful expressions on their faces - which eye of yours saw her lose weight?

Owen Bertram let go of his sister and introduced Rachel and Emma Scott to the others. Tabitha happily gathered around Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow, "Sis, did you bring anything delicious for me?"

"Yes!" Vanessa had been saving a lot of treats, "I’ve been having people hunt for me and always save the tastiest parts. I’ve used magic to keep them cold, just waiting to share them with you. Let’s roast and eat them!"

Tabitha’s eyes were glowing, and her saliva was flowing continuously.

Matthew took care of settling Rachel and Emma Scott, secretly marveling at the group’s strength: the Fourth Great Realm everywhere they looked, and even two Fifth Great Realm experts.

Then on the ship, Ethereal Devin escorted a group of chained criminals down, calling for other Military Officers to help. When Matthew took a look, his eyelids twitched: there was even a Fifth Great Realm among the prisoners!
