Chapter 300: Cheating Lovers
Finishing a few hours later. Luan told the two girls: “Sit in the lotus position in the center of the star and start meditating while you two use your techniques. In fact, if you have any questions about cultivation, now is the best time to ask.”
“Dad.” Nora asked, “I have some doubts regarding my Origin of the Spirit Tree.”
“Oh? Which would be?” Luan created clouds like a soft armchair and sat down, patting his hand beside him, he told her, “Sit down.”
Lenore sat up and began to ask her questions.
Meanwhile, Ingrid began to meditate. At the time, everything she needed to know, she had asked Luan before. She just needed to focus on getting the Nine Treasures Realm and Twelve Golden Bones Realm completed.
After she managed to complete these two, she could ask Luan how to proceed.
Meanwhile, in the City of Flowers.
“We didn’t suffer a murder attempt.” Chloe Santos said.
‘Why do I feel she is disappointed to say this?’ Elias sighed. Then he looked at Blade and said, “Bruno, go see if you find out anything about the current situation.”
“Okay.” Bruno left after drinking his cup of coffee.
He had the dark attribute, could hide in the shadows, of all the members of the Elite Squad, he was the one who excelled in seeking information.
His Origin is Underworld Wolf.
“Are you sure it’s okay to send him?” Catharina looked at Elias.
“Why?” Elias didn’t see a problem, which made him wonder why she’d asked that question.
“Very simple.” Catharina said coolly: “If he is discovered lurking around looking for information, he could be misinterpreted. We can even become suspicious.”
“…” Elijah was thoughtful: “Is it?”
“It’s a possibility,” Catharina said. She twirled her finger around the cup while remaining cool and indifferent.
Seeing her cold, indifferent expression. Elias didn’t doubt she was serious.
“Bruno.” Elijah’s voice echoed like a wolf’s howl.
Soon after, Bruno returned.
“Captain Elias, did you call me back?” Bruno looked at him strangely after he returned. He had already gone almost 1 kilometer away.
“Yes, it’s like that…” He explained Catharina’s doubts.
“Oh.” Bruno sat down.
“I’ll.” Cristiano said: “I don’t think I’m going to draw unnecessary attention.”
Cristiano was plain looking, not very flashy, and his Origin was smoke. He could use the smoke to draw attention away from him.
“Okay, you will.” It was Catharina who said it.
Elias looked at her, then at Cristiano: “You can go.”
“Okay, I’ll be back soon.” Cristiano left.
As soon as he left, Catharina had finished her breakfast and got up: “I’m going to meditate.”
For a moment there was peaceful silence after Catharina left.
However, the silence was broken shortly afterward by Elijah’s voice: “Go meditate too. It’s no use just standing here.”
Office of the Patriarch.
It was a gloomy room, at least for the moment. The frightening silence, along with the Patriarch’s ugly frowning frown, even though there were 5 people in the room together, they didn’t even dare breathe aloud.
“Toc…Toc…”
Two knocks on the not very loud door were heard.
“In between.” The Patriarch’s cold voice echoed.
“Yes!”
An average-looking middle-aged man with fair skin and black hair and a long black beard entered.
His eyes were green and he didn’t show any potency, however… He was one of the Patriarch’s most trusted men: The master of disguise, Bruce Malf.
“Bruce, what are the results of the investigation?” The Patriarch’s cold gaze grew a little kinder as he looked at Bruce, but when he asked the question it turned cold again.
“Unfortunately, the Patriarch’s suspicions were right.” The man sighed: “Your daughter and the late Princess Cedrina’s fiance are strongly linked to the princess’s death. Not only that, the other deaths were orchestrated by them.”
*BANG!*
The Patriarch was so angry that he slammed into the wall, opening a hole big enough for a water truck to pass. The suspicions had already pissed him off, but now knowing they weren’t just suspicions but a reality, his anger erupted like an erupting volcano.
The eyes of the people in the room closed and opened in shock.
“These two bastards…” Veins were visible on the Patriarch’s forehead and hands, his aura was so overwhelming that the people in the room couldn’t even breathe. “I’m going to kill these two bastards!”
It did not matter to him that the other daughter who was alive was now his only child, to the Patriarch, a rotten egg must not be bred, the sooner it is freed the better. At least he intended a quick kill.
Although…
To his late daughter’s fiance, Patriarch would not let him have an easy death.
Patriarch looked at Bruce: “Bring them here, tell them I want to discuss Cedrina’s funeral.”
“Yes!” Before leaving, Bruce changed his appearance, to a younger look with blonde hair and dark eyes.
Bruce arrived at Princess Clarice’s room.
“Toc…Toc…Toc…”
Hearing the three knocks on the door, Princess Clarice quickly walked away from her brother-in-law and lover.
“In between.” Clarice’s voice sounded as sweet as possible.
When Bruce opened the door and walked in, he saw the traitorous couple with no remorse for what they had done, even to him who had often murdered people at the Patriarch’s command, was surprised at how calm and peaceful Princess Clarice was after killing her own sister.
Despite not having direct proof that she was the one who killed, everything indicated that she did. Besides, she and her traitorous lover actually had three other women killed in the same way Princess Cedrina was murdered.
He wasn’t the one who would judge that, so Bruce said in a neutral tone, “Princess Clarice, and Marques Thaylon. The Patriarch has summoned the two of you to discuss Princess Cedrina’s wake.”
“I understand.” Clarice’s expression was sad with crocodile tears in her eyes: “I’m devastated by what happened… I didn’t expect Father to decide so soon…” She sighed.
“…” Marques Thaylon didn’t show the slightest hint of sympathy with Clarice’s death but hid it deeply while making a sad expression, soon he followed Bruce, along with Clarice.
Minutes later, they arrived in front of the Patriarch’s office.
After knocking twice, the Patriarch sent them inside.
