Chapter 693: Chapter 418: The Rover River Remains the Original_2

However, Owen Bertram’s true goal has been achieved: his control over the Ghost Army has been strengthened.

His control over the Ghost Market originates from the Commander’s Token, which is a suppression and domination at the Heavenly Track Rule level. All entities dwelling in the Ghost Market cannot defy him.

After the integration of the Tiger Talisman, it must also comply with this rule. With the Tiger Talisman’s control over the Ghost Army combined, there will be no more cases like that in the Magic Wave of Sharon Mansion, where the power of the Ghost Army spiraled out of control as it increased.

It wasn’t until this moment that Owen Bertram took full ownership of the Ghost Army Tiger Talisman from the hands of the Chaotic Demon. Previously, he had controlled the Tiger Talisman through the demon.

Now, even though he is still in the Sixth Realm, he no longer has to worry about being unable to control the Ghost Army.

Moreover, the "Honored Lord" doesn’t have to worry about the King of Souls and the Ghost Army discovering his true identity through communication. Because before this, the Ghost Army was controlled by the Chaotic Demon, and they didn’t know who their true master was from top to bottom.

The voice of the Honored Lord sounded again above the heads of the King of Souls: "Take out ten billion of those taxes, and use the remaining fifteen billion to strengthen the Ghost Market."

"When you encounter difficulties, you can consult the Ghost Army. They will help you."

Overjoyed, the King of Souls immediately bowed and said, "Yes! Thank you, Honored Lord! We will no longer slack off. We will work diligently to manage this place on behalf of the Honored Lord."

The Honored Lord snorted, "This is your last chance!"

"Yes, we will not disappoint the Honored Lord."

The Honored Lord continued, "I have another matter that I need you to take care of."

"Please, Honored Lord, give us your instructions."

"I have a registered disciple who is quite promising. In just a few years, he has reached the Sixth Great Realm. If you are willing, you can secretly help him a little. However, I will not tell him about this."

King of Souls couldn’t help but ask, "In just a few years, he has reached the Sixth Great Realm?"

How many years did it take for them to get promoted to Tier-6? Hundreds? Thousands? They could hardly remember.

"Hmph!" The Honored Lord snorted coldly, and the King of Souls quickly apologized, "Please, Honored Lord, forgive me. I’m not doubting you, but you have to admit that the feat of reaching the Sixth Great Realm in just a few years is astonishing."

"If it wasn’t so, would he be worthy of being my registered disciple?" The Honored Lord retorted, and the King of Souls thought that it made perfect sense. The Honored Lord continued, "In fact, you have all benefited from him. When I originally observed the Eight Desolates Destiny, I accidentally discovered this child. While searching for the child, I happened to notice this Ghost Zone. You were all quite diligent, so I decided to help you."

The King of Souls became excited, and had a faint suspicion of who it was, "Honored Lord’s disciple, could it be the Summit Commandant of the Summit Metropolitan Office, Owen Bertram?"

"Correct, he was just a child from the nearby Extinct Village back then." The Honored Lord seemed a little nostalgic and proud, "I secretly watched over him for a few years, and this child did not disappoint me. He hardly needed my help and made his way up step by step on his own. He truly embodies great destiny."

The Honored Lord suddenly stopped speaking, but the "unintentional" information leaks had already given the King of Souls enough information to make a choice, "We are willing to covertly support Sir Owen."

"Hehehe," the Honored Lord laughed, "As I said, I will not tell him about this. Think carefully; you might end up empty-handed."

"We are willing to take the risk." The King of Souls and his companions were determined. After all, he had great destiny as described by the Honored Lord. In just a few years, he achieved the Sixth Great Realm, and his future was immeasurable. They believed that helping him secretly would ensure their own success when he achieved greatness.

The King of Souls even suspected that the Honored Lord had chosen them as a way to groom subordinates for Owen Bertram early on.

"Alright, since you’ve decided, let’s expand the Ghost Market along the river and secretly support my disciple."

Pretending to be the Honored Lord’s disciple and seeking help from the Ghost Market was an idea that Owen Bertram had long considered, but the timing was not suitable earlier. For the Honored Lord, once a registered disciple was taken, there were only two choices. One was to ignore the disciple for an extended period at first, making the disciple work tirelessly to gain the favor of their master. Once they proved themselves, they could inherit all of the master’s resources.

The other was to provide full care from the start, taking responsibility for the disciple, no matter what. As long as the Honored Lord had accepted the disciple, they would be taken care of even if they were the dullest of animals. And with the Honored Lord’s help, the mundane could achieve the impossible.

Had the Honored Lord held a lower status at the Sixth or Seventh Realm level, the disciples would have been taken care of differently--- but not by the newly accepted Great Ghosts. It would have been due to a lack of trust.

As it was, the Honored Lord appeared to be higher in status than the Seventh Realm, indifferent to worldly matters, and had the ability to watch over his disciples from the Nine Heavens. He would never trust newly accepted Great Ghosts with his disciples, due to the same lack of trust.

With the King of Souls’ knowledge, if such actions had been taken at that time, their impression of the "Honored Lord" would certainly have been diminished.

But now, the circumstances have changed. By revealing the disciple’s identity at this stage, it is implied that the disciple is ready for trials. In just a few years, the Honored Lord has nurtured a disciple who has reached the Sixth Great Realm, which elevates his status even higher!
