Chapter 716: Chapter 424: The Second Authority_2

"Humph!" Owen Bertram, snorted coldly, took the Broken Mirror, and strode out. After thanking the King of Souls, he left Ghost Zone immediately.

Since he decided to take on this cause and effect, there was no need to fear anymore, and he would deal with it with full force.

After bidding farewell to Owen Bertram, the King of Souls returned to his own building and saw the Lord of the Skeleton Sea waiting for him. In the eyes of his skull, an uncertain green flame flickered.

"Why does Master Bertram have to do this?" The Lord of the Skeleton Sea muttered.

Owen Bertram’s actions in the Ghost Market were not hidden, and everyone knew about them. Although the Ghost Knight and the others couldn’t understand why he did so, the King of Souls and the others could guess the truth.

In the Lord of the Skeleton Sea’s opinion, there was no need to take on such a heavy cause and effect just for the sake of Cooper Clan.

Although he could not bring himself to destroy the entire Cooper Clan, he still felt that there might be other ways. Besides, before Owen Bertram killed Walter, the ruffian was genuinely scared and wanted to beg for mercy. As long as Owen stopped, he could get the treasure without taking on the cause and effect.

The King of Souls shook his head slightly and said, "This is precisely where you and I are inferior to Owen Bertram. That’s why, in just a few years, he stepped into the Sixth Great Realm and has the Seventh Realm in sight, whereas we... took thousands of years to reach Tier-6 and are stuck here, never breaking through to Tier-7!"

The Lord of the Skeleton Sea was impatient: "I’m not here to listen to you brag about Owen Bertram; just tell me why he has to do this?"

"It’s because his heart is as firm as a rock! If we follow your suggestion, what will be the outcome if we spare Walter? Have you thought about that?"

The Lord of the Skeleton Sea, reminded by him, suddenly realized: "Yes, with Walter’s temperament, even if he changed his mind and saved the Cooper Clan from extermination, he would still demand a generous amount of precious treasures from Owen Bertram. With these treasures, Walter would need only to concentrate on Cultivation for a while to gain enough power to single-handedly destroy the Cooper Clan!"

The King of Souls nodded: "That’s right. So, when Owen Bertram warned Walter for the last time and Walter still refused to agree, Owen realized that keeping Walter alive would sooner or later bring disaster to the Cooper Clan.

That’s when Owen Bertram resolutely decided to bear the cause and effect, and kill Walter!"

The Lord of the Skeleton Sea sighed, "But this will cast a shadow over Owen Bertram’s Cultivation." He hesitated and asked, "Should we... still follow him?"

We don’t want to spend all our time serving him only for him to meet an early end. Not only would our efforts have been in vain, but we could also be implicated.

While it is normal for the Lord of the Skeleton Sea to worry, the King of Souls laughed: "You’re wrong; it’s precisely because of Owen Bertram’s responsibility that I’ve decided to follow him at all costs!"

The Lord of the Skeleton Sea shook his skull head, "This is quite a gamble..."

The King of Souls said, "If you don’t want to, you can drop out now."

"Pah!" The Lord of the Skeleton Sea cursed: "Are you looking down on me? You’re an old thing with such courage. I was born in the Ancient Battlefield, so how could I be weaker than you?"

The King of Souls smiled: "I believe Owen Bertram will not let us regret today’s decision."

...

Owen Bertram emerged from the Ghost Zone and hurried back to Raleigh City with his "Breaking Void" Divine Powers. When he left, he only left a letter informing Leroy Baker and the others that he had to deal with some matters and that they should wait patiently.

Leroy Baker and the others were kept in the dark and couldn’t possibly wait patiently. They were all very nervous.

However, this group of Heaven’s Chosen from the Wood Dynasty’s Dragon and Snake List displayed excellent potential. They came together to discuss the matter and managed to cooperate with one another to create the illusion that Owen Bertram was busy investigating a case at the East Prison Town department. Not even soldiers loyal to General Finnegan Chase who were guarding the outer perimeter were aware that Owen Bertram had been absent from the department for days.

Kim Dean’s men had long been subdued, and the soldiers inside and outside the East Prison Town department had all been replaced with Finnegan Chase’s men.

As Leroy Baker and the others pretended to be calm in front of outsiders, they were actually panicking inside. Finally, they saw Owen Bertram walking in from the courtyard and breathed a sigh of relief.

Leroy Baker grumbled incoherently. No one else could understand what he was talking about, but the main idea was that they were glad Owen Bertram had returned, so their massive investment wouldn’t go to waste.

Greystone was very calm and didn’t understand why the others were so worried. With Owen Bertram’s unparalleled plotting skills in the Sixth Great Realm, what surprises could there be?

Owen Bertram asked: "Where are Matthew and the others?"

Leroy Baker immediately used the Communication Talisman to inquire. He then reported to Owen Bertram: "They have joined forces with the Feather Cavalry General. In another seven or eight days, they should arrive at Raleigh City."

David had secretly left halfway to meet up with the two thousand military officers sent by Master Lane. When the two forces met, they totaled three thousand seasoned Horizon Bureau soldiers who would form the backbone of Owen Bertram’s rule in the new East Prison Town department.

Owen Bertram nodded in satisfaction: "Ask General Finnegan Chase to come and see me; I have some questions for him."

Once Finnegan Chase arrived, Owen Bertram asked him a strange question: "Are there any places around Raleigh City that have clear waters, beautiful mountains, and excellent Feng Shui?"

Finnegan Chase looked puzzled. With clear waters, beautiful mountains, and excellent Feng Shui? Was Owen Bertram planning a sightseeing trip, or intending to bury someone?
