"This kind of opportunity doesn''te to just anyone. They say that misfortune
and fortunee hand in hand. The misfortune you faced this time might be the cause of the rise of our families. Elise, what do you think?" Lindon looked at his daughter and said.
Elise was silent for a long time. In the end, she bit her lips and nodded gently.
It was evident that she was not forced into it, and that it waspletely voluntary. When she nodded, the corners of her mouth unconsciously lifted.
Lindon noticed that and nodded with satisfaction.
Connor did notment further, while Carlson looked at his son. Jaden''sst hope had been extinguished, and he started to drink heavily with a bitter look on his face.
That night, Jaden got incredibly drunk and vomited everywhere. Carlson attended to his son, sighing repeatedly but feeling helpless.
Even though they were billionaires, they could not escape all trouble and were still powerless in some situations. Regr people probably had it even harder.
That night, in a huge mansion in the capital of Westeria, an elderly man in his sixties sat on a massive chair in the hall, listening to reports from a group in front of him.
The old man had thick eyebrows and wore in clothes. Despite being barefoot on the white floor, he exuded a formidable aura that caused everyone else to feel incredibly cautious.
That man was the strongest Emperor level cultivator in Westeria, the existence that dominated the cultivation world of the country, Atrus Wood.
"Sir, Governor Wynna and Chairman Morris are both dead. They died to Wilbur Penn."
"That person killed a ten-thousand-year-old sea monster in Morburn and took away its core."
"Hans and his son are said to have surrendered to him, and he''s staying in Hans'' residence."
"The President is furious and has ordered you to take action immediately to capture him at all costs."
Atrus listened to the reports with a calm expression the whole time.
After everyone finished their reports, they looked at this legendary master.
However, Atrus still remained silent for a long time.
They were starting to get anxious.
"Sir, this person is probably at the Super Sanctuary level. However, no matter what level he''s in, killing important figures in our county like this needs to be punished."
"He even took away the core of the sea monster. It should belong to you."
"The President has ordered you to take action as well. How could we let a foreigner do as he pleases in our country?"
When Atrus heard that, he finally smiled and said, "Super Sanctuary level. Charlie has already reached that level over a decade ago. If he really submitted to someone, then that person is probably at the Emperor level."
"What?" They were all in disbelief. Emperor level cultivators were like mythical creatures. Could there really be someone so young at that level?
Suddenly, everyone was silent. If he really was at the Emperor level, then they would need to deal with him carefully.
At that moment, Atrus stood up and said, "Give out the order. Every Sanctuary level and Super Sanctuary level cultivator in the country is to reach Morburn before tomorrow night. Prepare to kill this person with me."
"Yes, sir," everyone said excitedly.
Atrus was as impressive as always. This battle was undoubtedly going to be recorded in history and be a legend.
As Atrus returned to his room, a woman who looked like a dry corpse was lying on the bed. There were tubes inserted into her body that were connected to various instruments. The whole ce was filled with the scent of medicine mixed with the scent of disinfectant.
Atrus gently leaned over the bed, caressing the woman''s face that had lost all semnce of humanity as he said gently, "Dear, the chance hase. A young Emperor level cultivator is here. Once I kill him and transnt his organs to you, you can wake up and withstand the toxicity of the Crimson Lotus. We''ll live for a hundred years together. Wait for me, I''ll definitely bring his body back intact."
