Chapter 5898
Three hours later, the bell was finally pressed.Romina Klein casually opened the front door.She pretended she did not see Welt York, on the verge of passing out after kneeling outside for so long.“Hello. May I ask who you are?” asked Ledger York while showing a slightly horrible expression.“This is private property. The owner doesn’t welcome strangers here, either.“If there’s no important business, I must ask you to leave.”“How dare you?!A person who seemed like the butler could not help but speak after hearing Romina’s words.‘My master’s the Underground Monarch of the outskirts!‘How dare a mere woman from the villa act this arrogantly?!‘Don’t these people know the master’s been standing outside for three hours?!’Ledger quickly waved his hand.“Enough!“Watch your attitude!“We’re here to meet Sir York, not to cause trouble.”Then, Ledger smiled at Romina.“Good afternoon, Ms. Romina.“Maybe you don’t know me, or you’re just pretending you don’t.“It doesn’

Two small chairs and a table were placed in the middle of the gazebo.A few dishes were also seen on the table.They were extremely ordinary dishes, no less!There were also two plates of rice with sesame seeds sprinkled on top. It was an incredibly dull sight.After hearing faint footsteps, Harvey York calmly turned around to look at Ledger York.Ledger’s heart skipped a beat after seeing Harvey.“Good afternoon, Sir York.”“Master York, right? Perfect timing!“I was just about to enjoy my meal…“If you don’t mind, you can join me too!”Ledger’s eyes twitched when he started cursing at Harvey in secret.‘This bastard’s just showing off!He smiled after thinking of his purpose for coming here.“I don’t like anything fancy anyway. I’m old now.“Us old folk like dishes like these the most.“Since you’re inviting me already, don’t mind if I do.”Ledger casually sat down before eating the dishes.Harvey squinted at the sight before smiling.“Aren’t you afraid of the dishe

“You’re exaggerating, Master York.”Harvey York smiled.“The Yorks of Hong Kong will always be theirs. I have the same surname but do not intend to get involved.“Besides, if I were to take over, the previous master of the family wouldn’t just sit back and watch either, would he?”Ledger York pulled out a half-smoked cigar before lighting it, smiling profoundly.“You might not be interested…“But, things don’t just happen because of your interests either.“They’re involuntary.“You have responsibility.“If you do end up rising to power, I do hope you remember that the outskirts’ York family also come from the Yorks of Hong Kong.Harvey set his utensils down before casually making some tea. When a faint fragrance wafted, Harvey picked up his cup again before speaking.“What do you mean by that?“You’re trying to push me?”Ledger shook his head.“That depends on the situation, time, and destiny. A mere master of the family like me can’t influence things like that.“I’m jus

After briefly pondering the situation, Harvey York spoke again.“Since you’re aware of the incident there…“Then, you should know that it doesn’t matter if I have your family’s support or not.“What makes you think that I’d accept your loyalty in the first place?“This isn’t a garbage disposal, right?”“You will.Ledger smiled brightly. He planned to show his family’s worth then and there.“The Wolven Tribe and the four great tribes may seem all-powerful in the outskirts…“But this is just at first glance!“The three great temples have the strongest background in reality. More precisely, Adenar Temple.“The Border Force has the most powerful combat strength.“The most mysterious and terrifying organization is no doubt, Evermore!“With these three forces, even if you’ve already united the outskirts, obtaining the Nine Eyed Beads on the ceremony would prove difficult.“Besides, based on the information I received from my sources…“Your information has been spread to these b

“Directed toward me?” asked Harvey York right away.“I’ve done nothing to Adenar Temple.“Why would they go out of their way doing something like that?”Ledger York looked stern.“This is about Adenar Temple. Or rather, this is about an ancient myth of all the sects.“It’s said the founder of the most ancient sect had died.“But if the sects could flourish again and regain the glory they once had…“The founder would reincarnate.“Someone like that could only reincarnate inside the sects!“The three great temples brought up consuls and maidens for this exact purpose.“Then again, the sects suspected the person might come from outside the sects.“They naturally wanted to eliminate the person no matter the case.“If the Nine Eyed Beads were to end up with that person, it’d be the world’s end! Faith itself would be completely destroyed!“That’s why they don’t want to see the beads end up in your hands.”Harvey burst into laughter.“You’re saying that to Adenar Temple, or rat

Harvey York squinted. The information that Ledger York told him was definitely new.There was no way to determine whether the information was accurate, but that was most likely the case judging from Ledger’s attitude.Wealthy families aren’t the strongest in the outskirts. Rather, it was only natural for the sects with more than a thousand years of history to be just that.“If all you’re telling me is information that I’ll be able to find out sooner or later…“Then, it won’t be enough proof of loyalty.”Ledger nodded.“I know that much.“That said, I do have something that will.”“Tell me.”“We’ll divert their attention.Ledger showed a bright and ambitious gaze.“If you allow me, I have a way to get Evermore and the Border Force involved with the sects.“Amos won’t return to Adenar Temple unscathed either.”“What do you need?”“The two beads that you have right now.“This is an opportunity to gather the rest of the beads and also the best way to get everyone involved.

Romina Klein stared strangely after seeing Ledger York leave.“What was he here for?“Does he really have hidden motives?“He even brought up such a huge secret from his sect.”“You’re a prominent figure yourself, yet you didn’t get to see through that old fox’s goals.“He tried to tell me all that as proof of loyalty…“But he knows that once Amos shows himself in public, I’d be able to learn all that in the shortest time possible.“With that, he wouldn’t lose anything for divulging all that information in exchange for my trust.“Besides, he said he needed my Eyed Beads to stir conflict between the Border Force and Evermore. How much of that do you think it’s true?”“Probably half of it…?” replied Romina.“Not even one bit.“I guarantee if I handed him the One-Eyed Bead and the Nine-Eyed Bead…“All nine beads will be united in just half an hour.“Amos wouldn’t even have to show himself.“The destiny of the sects would finally be complete!”Romina frowned.“Wouldn’t they

After a while, in front of the No. 1 villa.Ledger York sat in the back seat of the Rolls Royce Phantom while profoundly squinting at the front door.“Should we leave now? Or should we bring the young master with us?” asked the butler beside him respectfully.Ledger’s expression kept changing for a long while.“We needed to put on a show.“But since there’s no way to continue the act anymore…“Then, there’s simply no point.“Tell Welt to head to Adenar Temple and report everything that had happened.“At the same time, tell the Young Master…“That the York family did its best.”Ledger seemed instantly older after saying those words.If he had a choice, he would stay away from the situation.In his eyes, the sects with a deep history and the unfathomable man he spoke to were insurmountable beings.They could crush the York family if they wanted to.It was a shame. Ledger simply didn’t have a choice.-Under the peak of Scuva Mountains.It was dubbed as Seasons’ Peak.Th
