<strong>Chapter 1765: Chapter 1765: Schemes</strong>
Julius Reed had just left the tea pavilion when he bumped into Tennyson Hawthorne, who was hurrying along the road.
“West Tower, where have you been?” Tennyson, leading a few disciples, looked flustered.
Seeing him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Instinctively, he wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve.
It’s urgent!
Right now, this West Tower is a treasure of the academy.
Very useful indeed!
Brant Fairbanks and others are all counting on him to break the stalemate.
The young man with triple lineage is the best tool for breaking the stalemate!
Having witnessed the prosperity outside and the world’s fanaticism for martial arts, those who came from the Ocean Academy, including Tennyson and those disciples, were tired of life in the Southern Domain.
Equipped with skills but stuck fighting beasts in the Southern Domain!
As long as they leave the Southern Domain, they can lead lives of wealth and be admired by many.
The intoxication of wealth had directly shattered the inner belief of Ocean Academy’s people.
This was exactly Brant Fairbanks’s purpose for this trip.
What he had to do next was to ry the prosperity outside through these people back to the academy.
Make the entire academy full of yearning!
Full of dissatisfaction with the existing system!
When these voices of dissatisfaction reached their peak, Brant Fairbanks would act ordingly, overthrowing the thousand-year-old rules of the academy!
Then, by using the martial arts masters he personally supported, he would create internal chaos and eliminate those who did not listen to him.
Turn the academy into a ce of his sole rule.
And afterward, head north!
West Tower’s appearance gave Brant Fairbanks and Tennyson hope.
Hope to advance their n ahead of schedule!
They couldn’t miss this!
“The dean is very worried about you. The Caldwell Family is not safe during this critical period,” Tennyson cautioned.
Upon learning the Caldwell Family had called Julius Reed away, Brant Fairbanks immediately led the academy’s disciples, splitting up with Tennyson to search.
Afraid something might happen to him.
“It’s nothing, I just went for a cup of tea.” Julius Reed sneered in his heart.
Worried about my safety?
Clearly, it’s because they haven’t exhausted my value yet.
“Nothing is good, nothing is good,” Tennyson chuckled awkwardly.
“Director Hawthorne, Mr. West Tower.”
But just then.
Preston Caldwell, the Caldwell Family steward, suddenly appeared with some people.
“What’s the matter?” Tennyson raised his head, hands behind his back, and asked icily.
Although there was cooperation in name, Ocean Academy was now defensively wary of the Caldwell Family.
“ording to the agreement, Mr. West Tower won. Besides marrying Miss Caldwell, he can choose any book from the forbidden library,” Preston said with a smile.
This was Han Caldwell’s meaning and was something that had been decided earlier.
Moreover, Preston thought he and this West Tower were both from the Ghost Martial Tribe, so there was nothing to worry about.
“Tell Han Caldwell, I…”
Tennyson’s words were interrupted by Julius Reed: “Director, I’ll go have a look. You inform Dean Fairbanks, and I’ll bring back the bookter.”
“Then… be careful.” Reluctantly, Tennyson nodded.
As Brant Fairbanks’s right-hand man, he knew Brant needed that book “Dragon’s Roar.”
This was why initially Brant Fairbanks and he chose to drug Julius Reed.
To ensure this young man secured first ce and fetched the book from the Caldwell Family.
“Rest assured, I’ll be back.” Just as Julius Reed was about to step forward, he quickly withdrew, whispered in Tennyson’s ear.
“Alright!” Tennyson’s eyes shed a gleam, and he swiftly left.
“Lead the way,” Julius Reed said indifferently.
“Lead ahead!” Preston gestured, and the Caldwell Family servants divided into two groups, walking in front.
It seemed intentional, as the distance between the groups grew farther apart.
“Han Caldwell wants to frame you. Lure you to choose a book, then use you of stealing knowledge. Such a sinister move, aiming topletely ruin your reputation!”
As the distance widened slightly, Preston spoke in a low voice.
Though the voice was soft, Julius Reed heard every word clearly.
He remained silent throughout.
The Caldwell Family’s forbidden library was built at the very center of the Dark Moon Pavilion.
The residence of Han Caldwell was just three hundred meters beside the library.
He personally guarded it, showing just how much he valued the library.
The library was seven meters high!
Magnificent and opulent!
The main door was four meters wide and five meters high.
Wolves were carved on the doors.
nked by guards on both sides.
At first nce, it was imposing.
“Halt, what business do you have!”
As soon as they approached, guards appeared, sternly questioning.
Nearby guards also looked over, highly alert.
This was a forbidden area!
“An order from the Family Head. This person here can choose any book from the forbidden library.” Preston took out something resembling a projector and handed it to the guard.
The guard captain took the small projection pen, turned it on, and suddenly an image of Han Caldwell appeared.
“This West Tower took first in the youth grouppetition, so ording to the earlier set rule, he can select one book from inside. Remember, only one. Do not wander, do not peep.” Han Caldwell finished, and the projection disappeared.
“Open the door.” The guard captain handed the projection pen back to Preston, took out a radio, and gave themand.
With a click.
The door slowly opened.
Once the door was fully open, Julius Reed realized that its thickness was actually two meters!
Even a missile might not prate it.
“Mr. West Tower, inside I cannot enter, so I’ll take you this far. Remember what I said, be cautious.” Preston briefly instructed, leading his people away.
Kunlun Caldwell Family is a martial arts lineage. The collection within is very rich.
As a child, Merrill Caldwell was forced to read books even though he didn’t pick up much skill, he could recognize numerous techniques.
Such a treasure trove, naturally, the Caldwell Family guarded strictly.
Julius Reed gazed at the structure before striding inside.
As soon as he stepped in, the door behind him was locked shut.
Before him, it seemed like a library.
Filled with books!
And many blind people were cleaning the floor.
“Are you the West Tower?”
At the entrance, an old man raised his head and asked.
He seemed to be the administrator.
“Yes,” Julius Reed nodded.
This old guy had a powerful presence, likely a top Great Grandmaster.
Which made sense, as this was the biggest treasure of the Caldwell Family, invaluable to martial artists.
“I’ve heard of you; your skills seem quite impressive.” The old man stepped out, scrutinized Julius Reed closely, and asked, “Do you have a specific book in mind? If so, I can help you find it. If not, I can just grab you any book.”
“I want ‘Dragon’s Roar,''” Julius Reed answered.
When he first met Brant Fairbanks, Brant mentioned wanting him to take this “Dragon’s Roar.”
Apparently, it had something to do with Baylor Davenport.
Or rather, it was rted to the small world inside him.
“You’re sure you want that one?” The old man seemed surprised but turned to find it regardless.
“Old Mr. Leopold, the Caldwell Family has a meeting that requires your attendance.” But just then, a servant approached from outside, announcing.
“How unfortunate.” The old man stopped mid-step, walked over to Julius Reed: “Wait here for a while, do not randomly wander! Remember, learning secretly is a grave taboo, stealing books is a capital offense! I’ll be back soon, wait at the door for a moment.”
Finished, he left with the servant.
Leaving Julius Reed alone in the forbidden library.
Of course, along with a group of blind people.
