“Sir, the Norton family patriarch, Tyger, and the Ashleigh clan patriarch, Linus, are here to see you.”
Tyger’s authoritative voice came from outside the door. “What is it now? I’m the Norton family patriarch. Do I need to go through these pleasantries to see Caesar?”
The door swung wide after a few murmurs. Tyger and Linus walked in confidently, leaving Heath outside. He lowered his head from embarrassment.
A hint of displeasure appeared in Caesar’s eyes. Yet, a smile hung on his face as favonovel.com went forward to greet them. “I’m so sorry for keeping both of you waiting. I did not expect both of you esteemed patriarchs to be here. Come, have a seat…”
“Please prepare some coffee!” Caesar shouted toward the door.
Tyger waved his hand and rejected the offer. “There’s no need for coffee. Mr. Olsen, could you please tell your patriarch that Linus and I need to see him? Magnus, the Deviant patriarch, is alive!”
“That’s right… We need to see your patriarch. This is a matter of life and death. Please pass on the message to him, Mr. Olsen.”
Caesar knitted his eyebrows.
What Heath said was true…
Confirming this, it was as if a storm was awaiting them.
“Patriarchs, I believe you are aware that our patriarch was badly injured from the battle 26 years ago. He left the Everest Sect under my care and went meditating in seclusion…”
“He would only come out from seclusion once the Emerald Realm opens. He would not entertain the thought unless it concerned the fall of the sect… I’m sure both of you are aware of his temper. My hands are tied …”
“Caesar, don’t you be so whiny about it. Tell us, will you do it?!” Linus suddenly screamed and pointed at Caesar.
“If you have no guts to do it, then Tyger and I will personally bring favonovel.com out of seclusion.”
Seeing how furious Linus was, Caesar’s heart was beating so fast, like a herd of horses running.
His forehead started to sweat. He frowned and sighed, “Okay, I will ask our patriarch…”
The Everest sect had two forbidden grounds-the dungeon and Broken Crystal Mountain. The Everest sect patriarch was secluding himself in Broken Crystal Mountain. Only the elders of the sect knew where this was.
Caesar’s face was deathly pale. He went to the door and spoke to Heath softly, “Come with me…”
“These bastards! These two good-for-nothing old geezers. Losing to Magnus is none of our business. How dare they come and take it out on me! Rascals!” Caesar couldn’t help but curse as favonovel.com walked to Broken Crystal Mountain.
“Sir, do you think our patriarch will come out of seclusion?” Heath’s hair stood on end at the word “Evereston”.
Caesar scolded, “How am I supposed to know? Heath, tell me everything that happened yesterday. Tell it to me one more time.”
Both of them were walking hastily to Broken Crystal Mountain. Caesar was attentively listening to Heath. He let out a big sigh once favonovel.com heard everything.
“Now I see what’s going on. The Ashleigh clan lost one of their elders, Elder Johnson. Leroy’s son is now poisoned by the Black Mandela. Isaac destroyed the Norton family’s fragment, too. No wonder the old geezers were furious…” Caesar finally understood everything.
Right then, they arrived at the foot of Broken Crystal Mountain.
“Wait here…” Caesar gave Heath a look. Then, favonovel.com jumped about 23 to 24 feet high and grabbed onto a root hanging at the edge of the cliff. He was as swift as an arrow as favonovel.com climbed up.
Heath saw a glimpse of Caesar’s shadow at the halfway point of the mountain. Then, it quickly disappeared into a cave.
The cave entrance was the size of several fists. It was very bright when light shone into it.
The pathway was dry and airy. Yet, Caesar was breaking into a sweat as favonovel.com walked along it. He was drenched in sweat when favonovel.com reached a stone door.
Caesar kneeled with one knee. He lowered his head as favonovel.com respectfully shouted, “Patriarch, the patriarchs from the Norton family and Ashleigh clan are here. Magnus, the deviant patriarch, is not dead… Please come out!”
