Chapter 216 Endure

While he was deep in thought, Morden called out to him repeatedly, "Brother, are you listening?" Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

However, Oswald didn't reply. In the end, Morden could only helplessly stand still and wait for his elder brother to finish his speculations.

Adam makes friends with Edward Turner and Lisa de Clare. After listening to the girl's life story, he decides to help her. I see... it's beginning to make sense now.

He sends that elven woman to fetch Laura de Clare and negotiate with me about the release of Jamie de Clare over half a year back. This could only mean one thing!

Oswald's eyes turned cold as he started radiating a deep killing intent.

Looks like this kid has been planning to get rid of Kevin and save Lisa's family for a long time. He figured it would be the perfect opportunity to kill Kevin inside the secret plane with none being the wiser.

Hehe, did you really think I wouldn't know even if you managed to kill my nephew in the secret plane? How naive!

The next moment, he looked at Kevin and asked with great suspicion.

"You said you saw a... dragon?"

Kevin nodded earnestly. "Uncle, I know all this sounds bizarre, but I swear it! After I used the magic scroll you gave me, Adam was heavily injured and unconscious. But you must believe me, he was saved by a dragon!"

Forget Oswald, even Morden was looking at Kevin in a displeased manner. "I understand that you suffered a big loss at the hands of that commoner, but must you lie now too?"

"Father, I'm speaking the truth!" Kevin had an aggrieved expression on his face.

He knew exactly how all this appeared. He lost to a mere commoner and was now using the excuse of a dragon to get his family to seek revenge on his behalf. Anyone would feel the same way his father and uncle did.

"Silence!" Morden roared. He couldn't believe that his son could come up with such a ridiculous excuse.

"A dragon? Do you know how absurd that sounds?" He heavily reprimanded his son. "Dragons are creatures of legends, and you're telling me that you saw one in the secret plane?

"If there was a dragon residing within the secret plane, the Magi of the Southern Federation would have already known of it by now."

Kevin could only lower his head and remain silent. He clenched his fists and thought to himself, Damn it! Why won't you believe me? I am speaking the truth!

"Because that kid has powerful backing," Oswald began, "not only does Adam have the protection of Lord Berger, who is a renowned Herbalist in the Southern Federation, but he also seems to have a close relationship with a Rank 3 elf from the Baja High Forest."

Morden was stunned speechless. "W-What? Lord Berger... and a Rank 3 elf?"

"Yes." Oswald nodded. "When that female elf had come to take Jamie from us half a year ago, she had divulged Adam's relationship with Berger. And a few days back, Hemingway told me about the Rank 3 Baja Elf."

"Does that mean we have to take this lying down?" Morden spoke in an extremely aggrieved tone after a long moment of silence.

"Endure, brother, we must endure," Oswald comforted him.

The next moment, he glanced at Kevin and smiled faintly. "However, not everything is lost."

He took out a box from his space-type storage ring and said, "I spent a considerable fortune to get this item made from an Artificer from the Empire."

"What is it?" Kevin asked curiously.

"Come, take a look at it yourself." Oswald smiled.

Kevin walked forward and received the box from his uncle. When he opened it and laid eyes on the item inside, he was shocked. "This is..."

"With this, you don't have to worry about being a cripple anymore." Oswald patted his nephew's shoulder.

"Thank you, uncle!" Kevin spoke sincerely. "Thank you so much!"

"Work hard, my nephew." Oswald encouraged him. The next moment, his face turned solemn. "And I want you to bury this incident with Adam, do you understand?"

"I understand." Kevin nodded after a brief moment of hesitation.

"Good, you may go now."

Kevin respectfully bowed and bid farewell to his father and uncle. When he turned around and made his way out, his eyes suddenly flashed with sinister intent.

Bury this incident?

Heh.
