Ronnie, the sect’s protector, had been in a bad mood recently, and he merely nced briefly at
Meldrick. before saying, “Do you have nothing better to do than toe here and bother me?”
Meldrick smiled subtly, sat down in front of Ronnie, and asked, “I’m curious if you are aware of the
circumstances surrounding your son’s death?”
At the mention of his son, Ronnie’s face soured and he narrowed his eyes slightly as he nced at
Meldrick. “What are you trying to tell me, Meldrick? Are you saying that you’re well aware of the
circumstances surrounding Brandon’s death?”
Brandon’s death has been bearing down on Ronnie for quite some time because Brandon was his only
son. Brandon went out to hunt for treasure with Sofia, but Sofia was the only one who made it back.
ording to Sofia, he had been killed by a spirit beast.
Though there was no evidence to prove that, Ronnie did not think too much about it because he
believed. in Sofia’s words. When Meldrick brought that up to Ronnie again, thetter finally realized
that the truth. was probably not as simple as it seemed.
Meldrick nodded. “Brandon wasn’t killed by a spirit beast. I only found out the truth when I went out with
Sofia She revealed it to me while we were on the road, but she insisted that I shouldn’t tell you about
it.”
Ronnie clenched his fist and gritted his teeth. He suppressed his anger before questioning Meldrick.
Then why are you telling me that?”
Ronnie was well aware that Meldrick was very a sly and scheming person. Meldrick and Brandon had
both tried to win Sofia’s heart, and their affection for her was an open secret even though they never
expressed their feelings outright.
As rivals in love, they were less than cordial with each other. As a result, Ronnie was a little wary when
Meldrick approached him to tell him about it.
Meldrick deliberately expressed his sadness. “I didn’t want to tell you at first, but I understand how
important it is for a father to know the truth about his son’s death. I can understand the pain, especially
if you don’t know the true events surrounding what happened…”
Then, Meldrick stood up again as if to leave. “I’ll excuse myself then if you don’t wish to know the truth.
I shouldn’t have reminded you of your pain in the first ce.”
Ronnie immediately panicked when he saw that Meldrick was about to leave. He stood up and said,
“Hold on. I never said I didn’t want to know the truth, did I? How did my son die? He couldn’t have been
killed by Sofia, right? Her attainment was not as high as my son at the time!”
Ronnie’s heart ached again. Brandon was young, and his talent was somewhat better than many of the
disciples. If he had still been alive, he would have broken through to the level one warrior emperor by
then.
Meldrick sat back down and said to Ronnie, “I’ll tell you, but you can’t tell anyone that you heard it from
me. I don’t want Sofia to be unhappy!”
Ronnie frowned. “Why would she be unhappy?”
“Well, when Brandon and Sofia went out to search for treasure, he took her to a ce where no one
was around and secretly drugged her to try and force himself on her. Just as he about was about to do
the deed, a passer-by who is unaffiliated with any sect or gang killed Brandon in the name of justice.”
Meldrick did not hide anything from Ronnie and revealed every detail.
Ronnie could not help but sigh when he heard that. “Why did Brandon have to be so impatient? Serves
him right formitting such a heinous act!”
Having said that, he clenched his fist again and said, “But that unaffiliated practitioner crossed the line.
My son might be a little impulsive, but he doesn’t deserve to be killed. Besides, that practitioner was
just passing by, so what business did he have interfering with Brandon’s affairs?”

Meldrick looked at Ronnie before ncing outside to make sure no one was around. He then asked
softly, “Do you want to avenge your son’s death?”
