Chapter 19: Silversword Treasure House

"My lord, I'll stay here to look after the carriage. If you need anything, just let me know." The carriage driver said after dropping them in front of the Silversword Treasure House.

Fredrinn nodded and told him to take care.

"Let's go inside." He brought Cain and Olivia inside the treasure house.

"Woah! This place is huge!" Olivia exclaimed as she admired the grandeur of the building.

Fredrinn smiled lightly at her words. As for Cain, he didn't say anything and just followed them closely while cautiously eyeing the people around them.

While they were looking around, a familiar voice suddenly called out to him. "Cousin!"

Hearing this, Fredrinn turned around and saw Kristine and two young disciples from the Firecrown Household.

"Greetings, Lord Fredrinn!" The two young men nervously greeted him.

"Oh! It's you guys!" Fredrinn was happy to see someone he knew.

When they saw Fredrinn coming over, they quickly walked towards him.

"How have you been, Kristine?" Fredrinn asked while looking at his valiant-looking cousin. This girl was still eighteen, but she looked mature for her age.

Kristine was not used to his gentle way of speaking so she revealed an awkward look. "I am doing well. Thank you for asking." She responded.

"I'm happy to hear that. By the way, what are you guys doing here?"

Kristine and the other two stared at each other. "Lord Roland asked us to come here and try our luck to obtain the special pill." It was Kristine who answered his query.

"I see." Fredrinn nodded in understanding. It turns out that his worries were unnecessary. From the looks of it, Roland had already made preparations for this special pill.

"How about we go together? I'm also curious about the special pill that everyone is talking about." Events like this are hard to come by so he wanted to join the fun. Searᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Kristine hesitated for a moment, but she eventually agreed. "Alright." She remembered opposing Fredrinn once and it didn't end well so she could only accept his invitation.

"Great!" Fredrinn smiled at her. He wanted to get close to this cousin of his. With her superior-grade spirit root, she would definitely become an important figure in the family. She might be of great help to him in the future.

The group of six strolled around the treasure house.

At first, Kristine and the other two were still nervous, but they soon relaxed.

Fredrinn seemed to be in a good mood today. Usually, he would order them around like his subordinates, but this time, he was so polite and friendly.

At this moment, they suddenly heard a commotion. They looked at each other and followed the crowd to take a look at the situation.

"Isn't that the young miss of the Silversword Household?!"

"Holy sh*t! That's really her!"

The customers excitedly discussed as they looked at the young woman surrounded by a group of bodyguards.

Fredrinn followed their gaze.

It was a young woman who looked to be in her late teens. Her hair was tied in a ribbon braided ponytail and she wore a pair of silver butterfly earrings. The green and white cheongsam she wore perfectly accentuated her style.

"Aubrey Silversword…" Although she looked young from the woman in his memories, he would never forget her appearance. This woman would one day become a powerful figure in the Star Wind Kingdom. It was because of her that the obscure kingdom became well-known throughout the whole Great Vemune Continent.

Fredrinn sighed and shook his head.

"My lord, that young lady looks beautiful!" Olivia stared at the peerless figure in admiration.

Even Kristine who was confident about her beauty could only admit defeat. She then looked at her cousin to see his reaction, but his eyes remained calm without any ripple. This made her surprised.

She knew her cousin well. Every time there was a beautiful woman, his dishonest eyes would immediately lock on his target. He even once saw him staring at her with a similar gaze.

Aubrey seemed to have noticed their presence. She looked over in their direction, but when she saw Fredrinn, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes. She had heard all sorts of rumors about this person and he was quite famous in Red Sun City. Her brothers even showed her his photos and warned her not to get close to him.

Thinking about this, Aubrey immediately retracted her gaze. She then sat on the main seat and gave a hand signal to the old man standing with her bodyguards.

When the old man saw her signal, he nodded.

This person was the branch manager of the Silversword Treasure House. People call him 'Manager John'. Don't get fooled by his amicable appearance for this old man was a ruthless figure with unfathomable power. According to the rumors, he was a Nascent Soul expert!

At this moment, Manager John stepped forward and waved at the crowd to gather their attention. "Hello, everyone! I am the manager of this treasure house. You can just call me Manager John. Today, I'm pleased to announce that this event will have a special guest. Everyone, please give a round of applause for the young miss of the Silversword Household, Miss Aubrey!"

The crowd immediately clapped their hands and cheered.

Everyone eagerly cheered while singing praises for her.

Aubrey waved at the crowd and smiled at them.

Manager John raised his hand and the crowd immediately became silent. "I believe most of you guys came from afar. We even have guests from neighboring cities." When he said these words, his gaze inadvertently turned towards a group dressed in white and gold changshan jackets.

Fredrinn and the others also looked over.

"They are people from the Serene Jade Palace of Azure Wind City," Kristine commented after seeing their clothes.

"Oh!" Fredrinn's eyes flashed upon hearing this. He was familiar with the Serene Jade Palace. It was a large martial arts school that only accepted young students with high-grade spirit roots. Because of their strict requirements, they only have less than a thousand students. However, all of them were powerful figures in the younger generation of the Star Wind Kingdom.

The crowd also recognized the distinctive clothes of the Serene Jade Palace. Some of them even cupped their fists to greet these people.

Manager John clapped his hand to get their attention back to him. "I know that everyone came here for the special pill so I won't keep you guys in suspense." He then gave a hand signal to the servants.

Under everyone's curious eyes, the servants carefully pushed a cart that had a few bottles of pills on top of it.
