Chapter 462: Chapter 354 Tender Family Love_1

Matthew handed the address to Owen Bertram: "You can find them when you get there. Their level of cultivation may not be remarkable, but they are all natives of the capital and familiar with it."

Owen Bertram was satisfied: "Good, you will be credited for this."

Matthew secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that the Commander was content. Lately, he had been under immense pressure with the Commander’s power expanding greatly. Once an old hand by the Commander’s side, Matthew had been sent away due to the Fern incident, and was relentlessly trying to regain the Commander’s trust.

After Matthew left, Owen returned to the Summit Guard Post the following day, picked up Verna, and embarked on a journey to the capital.

Verna was overjoyed. Like most kids, she loved to travel far to play. More importantly, her elder brother had been occupied with official duties lately and was rarely by her side. Now it was just the two of them on the trip and she could stick with him all the time.

David strongly disagreed with the Commander’s idea of going to the capital alone and wanted to personally lead infantry and cavalry to escort him. When fierce competitors on the Dragon and Snake List had Guardians of the Path by their sides, the Commander could not be without pomp!

However, Owen stifled his objection with a counter-question: If we encounter danger on the way, should I protect you or you protect me?

David left, dejected but determined to increase his cultivation efforts as he couldn’t let the Commander get too far ahead.

Moreover, Owen was not rash. Upon reaching the capital, he would have a powerful Guardian of the Path: Nick Liam. On the road, he informed Rachel’s father, Ferdinand, the Master of Lioyd Sect and a Tier-6 Great Cultivator, to rendezvous with him.

Although Ferdinand was not adept at direct combat, his mechanistic skills were not to be underestimated, and he was a solid Tier-6. Even if someone wanted to harm Owen by deploying a Tier-6, the combination of Owen and Ferdinand would be enough to cope.

If it was the Seventh Level... surely not. After all, how many possess the Seventh Level in the Wood Dynasty?

So, on this morning, Owen led Verna by the hand. With a large pot on her back and a wooden spoon in her other hand, they left the Summit Guard Post, heading towards the capital.

They hadn’t gone far when they encountered Magpie waiting by the road.

Upon waking from a deep sleep, it was as fierce as ever, but its steel-like plumage was shiny and extraordinarily majestic.

After a long separation from his master, Magpie was as exuberantly happy as a fawning dog. It tumbled and wagged its tail around Owen and the little lady. Owen grabbed it by the neck, laughing: "Okay, okay, stop messing around. You can only escort us to the outskirts of the capital, then wait for us outside."

Magpie hopped twice before obediently nodding.

Owen pulled his sister onto Magpie’s back, then observed the three phoenix tails of Magpie. One of the eyes on a tail was conspicuously open.

"What divine powers did you awaken this time?" Owen speculated that each of the three eyes on the phoenix tails should each seal one divine power.

Magpie flapped its wings and flew. Upon hearing Owen’s question, it let out a chirp in mid-air, twitched its tail, and opened that eye. That eyeball emanated a faint yellow light. A twirl emanated a gentle Anchient Spirit that draped over them like a gauze. Owen immediately felt an obvious enhancement.

If he could quantify this using data from the games he played in his last life, it would be a substantial increase in "constitution". The implication is an overall enhancement in strength, health, defense, speed, hearing, and vision.

What’s more, Owen found that Magpie can control this special Anchient Spirit. Not only could it enhance itself, but it could also strengthen others.

"Impressive divine powers." Owen praised with a smile, making Magpie even more cheerful, and it sped up its flight.

Verna sat on Magpie’s back, giggling happily, directing Magpie, "Hurry up and find some prey, we’re having a big pot of meat soup at noon!"

Magpie obediently nodded vigorously. It wasn’t focusing on the flight now, but instead scrutinizing the ground alongside Verna: How about this one?

Verna was drooling, "No hurry, let’s wait and see. There will be even tastier ones."

By noon, they had hunted a large deer, its antlers as big as ancient trees. Verna spoke from her experience, "Deer meat is better than wild boar, tiger, or bear."

...

Colby Dominic had been wearing a grave face for some days. Everyone in the government office was extremely cautious, moving stealthily as if they were treading on thin ice, to avoid being caught by Colby for venting his spleen. Only he knew why: Howell Owen was out of contact.

Howell was his right-hand man and likely to ascend to the Sixth Great Realm. Laws and authorities in the Central Prison were relatively weak. With only Colby, the Sixth Great Realm, in their ranks, Howell’s ascendancy could help Central Prison shake off its "weak" label.

He selected Howell to "discipline" Owen after thoughtful consideration.

Nothing is secret under the sun. The fact that Lord Liam asked Owen to participate in the Dragon and Snake List to target Wayne Malvin was soon known by Colby.

The primary responsibility lied with Lord Liam who was somewhat complacent. During a drinking session with a group of beauties in the Capital’s Education Bureau, he gleefully shared this matter with others.

Yes, our North Prison Commander was the first honored guest of the Capital’s Education Bureau, and over the years, the revenue from successful "business negotiations" was mostly invested in the Education Bureau.

However, according to "wise men", it might have been deliberate on Lord Liam’s part. His confidentiality measures had been too successful. The inside story that "Lord Liam commands Owen Bertram to beat up Wayne Malvin on the Dragon and Snake List" had not spread, which annoyed Lord Liam because it made him feel as if he was doing good deeds secretly.
