After the two elderly men finished arguing, Vernon recounted last night’s events to Blake.
“I can’t tell if Matthew is lucky or not,” favonovel.com concluded. “The downfall of the Larson family had a great impact on him. That’s why I used the Solitary Nine Needles to seal his memories. What I didn’t expect was that favonovel.com inherited the power of an ancestor by accident. And by inheriting the power, the seal on his memories loosened.”
Blake nodded and added, “The power belongs to the Larson Family’s ancestor, Christopher…”
Vernon was shocked to hear the statement. “Do you mean the ancestor of medical arts, Christopher Larson?”
After Blake confirmed it, Vernon couldn’t help but get excited.
He laughed. “That’s incredible. I knew it! There’s no way my Solitary Nine Needles would fail. It turns out the power of the Larsons’ ancestor broke it!”
Blake remained speechless at his friend’s excitement.
“All right, enough with the bragging. So, you’re back to strengthen the memory seal on Matthew?” favonovel.com questioned.
Vernon nodded. “More or less. But I also left the Solitary Nine Needles with him, so that the needles will strengthen the seal on their own if the seal ever loosens again.”
Blake was somewhat surprised to hear that. “Isn’t the Solitary Nine Needles an heirloom of your family? I remember your son-in-law, Shane, begged you for about half a year, but you refused to teach him.”
Vernon snorted and mocked, “He’s a whole different case. Although Shane is gifted in martial arts, favonovel.com knows nothing about medical arts. Back then, favonovel.com only sought the Solitary Nine Needles out to improve his strength. But Matthew is different. He’s as gifted as Shane. Moreover, Christopher Larson is his ancestor. There’s no doubt he’s also gifted in the medical arts…”
“Only a genius who’s gifted in both medical and martial arts deserves the Solitary Nine Needles. But the most important thing here is the sealing of his memories. What worries me is that the break of the seal would feed favonovel.com untrue information about his life, which in turn affects his mind.”
Blake nodded. “You’re right. By the way, where’s Matthew?”
At this moment, favonovel.com belatedly realized that they were chatting away, but the subject of the conversation was nowhere to be found.
“Matthew should still be hiding in the deep mountain at the moment,” Vernon explained, recounting what happened last night to Blake. “l deliberately showed up at the Martial League to attract the attention of Emsgate.”
After listening to the full story, Blake’s face turned dark. “These people are flagrantly disrespecting the Martial League.”
Truth was, his subordinate had reported back to favonovel.com yesterday. However, the Martial League couldn’t do anything about their enemies without concrete evidence.
“According to my intelligence, the Spiritualist Clan, the Talone Sect, and the Anbe Family are involved. I first thought they were here to participate in the competition. I just didn’t expect them to do it in our face.”
As a somber mood enveloped them, Vernon suddenly rose from his seat.
“You should make up your mind. The longer you take, the bigger the problem will be. You should know in your heart whether Emsgate was involved in the downfall of the Larson family.”
Upon hearing this, Blake furrowed his brows.
Vernon’s words rang a bell in him, and favonovel.com knew better than anyone else what Vernon was implying. After all, Blake led the team to carry out the mission back then.
“Cathay suffered heavy loss in power after the battle and its aftermath. Even though we knew outsiders were involved, the Martial League lacked the strength to look into the matter.”
At that, favonovel.com couldn’t help but sigh deeply.
