Chapter 1683


    After a brief celebration, Patrick carefully tucked the Thousand Gods Method and the Dispel Demon


    Method away and led Leon out of the study and back into the living room.


    Damian and Iris approached them as soon as they reappeared.

    Ever since the unpleasant events that had transpired, Patrick had been behaving in a sorrowful manner


    and rarely ever smiled. Now, however, by the looks of his enormous grin and the spring in his step,


    everyone could clearly tell that he was in a splendid mood!


    “What happened, Father? Why are you so happy?” Damian asked incredulously, unable to understand


    how such a great change had urred in the few minutes they spent in the study.


    “Nothing. You’ll find out soon enough…” Patrick replied, beaming from ear to ear.


    One should never expose their deck of cards, and considering how weak the Scammells were


    compared to the other ancient families, he did not intend to reveal their possession of the Ultimate


    Power ss methods just yet, lest the other families get wind of this and attempt to steal it from them!


    Therefore, he intended to tell the truth to Damian in private.


    “Well, if there’s nothing else, Grandpa, Iris and I shall be off now,” Leon piped up. After bidding


    everyone goodbye, he and the girls left.


    Since he had taken the Dragon Pill before hisbat, he needed to get home as soon as possible


    before the effects wore off. With that in mind, he handed his tasks over to Iris and Roanne, then


    returned home with Snow, who was assigned to look after him.


    The side effects of the Dragon Pill usuallysted for two days, but with the Spiritual Pearl, Leon could


    easily use it to replenish his true energy and hasten his recovery. If things went well, he could easily


    recover just after a day’s rest.


    Meanwhile, at the Spears‘ residence, the Southern Boss was in the middle of a meeting with a few


    Guardians and some of the other Spears.


    All of a sudden, frantic footsteps rang out as the Fifth and Sixth Guardians burst into the room, followed


    by Linus and the few guards who were carrying Charlie on a stretcher.


    “Sir, something terrible happened…” the Fifth Guardian yelled, his face was filled with fear. He wanted


    to describe everything that happened but he did not know where to begin.


    Ever since the Dragon Corps ced one of the Spears‘ properties under investigation, the Southern


    Boss had specially assigned the Fifth and Sixth Guardians to protect Rodney at all times. Somehow,


    they allowed the Dragon Corps to take Rodney away from right under their noses!


    One could only imagine how furious the Southern Boss would be, and none of them even dared to


    break the news to him.


    “What happened to you, Charlie?” The Southern Boss soon caught sight of Charlie on the stretcher,


    and a bad feeling arose in his heart.


    Charlie had informed him of his ns to help the descendants of the Scammells‘ second bloodline


    before this. When that happened, the Southern Boss thought that it would not be a difficult task to pull


    off,


    considering how powerful the Martells were inparison to the Scammells!


    He never once imagined that things would not go as nned. Judging from how feeble Charlie looked,


    it seemed he must have suffered significant trauma!


    It did not take him long to put two and two together, and realize that something must have gone terribly


    wrong with Charlie’s ns!
