For a moment, Roger’s and Errol’s gaze fell on Philip who stood in the distance outside the Realm Sealing Magic Circle.
Roger smiled and said, “I believe in my son.”
Errol chuckled and said, “Teacher, have you ever thought that you have made the wrong decision back then?”
Roger said lightly, “Errol, you still don’t understand that the great power of this world is beyond the control of human beings. The Lovelace family’s grand plans and dominance are at the cost of human lives and the development of all mankind. Do you really want to follow such a family?”
Errol pondered over his words. However, soon, favonovel.com smiled sorrowfully and said, “Teacher, no matter what you say, I’ve made my choice. I came here today just to see how you’re doing. I know now, so I hope that when I see you again next time, I can kill you with my own hands.”
After saying that, the black mist around Errol began to surge and gradually engulfed his body.
Roger frowned as favonovel.com looked at Errol who was about to escape. However, did not choose to give chase. At the last moment, favonovel.com said to the black mist, “You and Fulton are both my beloved disciples. I hope you can find your way back.”
Finally, the sky cleared and the pattern of the magic circle engraved on the surroundings disappeared.
Philip immediately ran over and asked with concern, “Father, are you alright?”
Roger looked at the nervous and worried Philip, saying with a gratified smile, “I’m fine.”
Philip breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the ruins around him. He frowned and asked, “Is favonovel.com your former disciple? Does Fulton know him?”
Roger sighed, looked up at the sky, and said, “Yes, his name is Errol Fray. He used to be my favorite student but he’s too egotistical at heart. What favonovel.com advocated was absolute force and hegemony, which is inconsistent with the Clarke family’s development philosophy. Hence, favonovel.com was expelled from my command.”
Philip frowned and asked, “He chose to join the Lovelace family?”
Roger hummed and said, “The Lovelace family has already started to act. To be able to send Errol to test me, it seems that the Lovelace family can’t wait to make a comeback. We have to give a response.”
Then, Roger looked at Philip and asked, “Are you ready to return to the country and head to Mystic City in the Northwest?”
Philip was startled. He did not expect his father to know everything, so favonovel.com did not hide anything and said, “Yeah, I want to try to retrieve Wynn’s memory chip.”
Roger nodded, stretched out his hand, patted Philip’s shoulder lightly, and said, “The Mystic City in the Northwest is not a simple place. During your trip this time, you must be cautious in everything and don’t act impulsively. In that place, even the Clarke family can’t do so much.”
After saying this, Roger still seemed uneasy and added, “I’ll ask the two battle gods from the Shadow Guards to go with you. Whatever happens, you must remember to think twice before you act.”
Philip looked at his father’s elderly face, and a strange feeling welled up in him. He said, “I know what I’m doing, but I’ll be careful.”
Roger smiled and said, “Put the matters here aside for the time being. The battle for the position of chief god isn’t that easy to settle. You’ve gotten involved in the muddy waters of the Western underworld so many people will be watching you. You must be prepared to face more enemies in the future. Moreover, no matter who wins between Leo and Amos, neither is worthy to forge a deep relationship. People of different roots will forever be different at heart.”
Philip understood the meaning of Roger’s words and said, “I know what to do.”
The father and son chatted through the night. They talked about the grand scheme of this world, the disputes between the families, the origins of different forces, and the love-hate between the Clarke and Lovelace families.
It was dawn when Philip finally helped Roger back to his room to rest.
On this night, after the previous five assassins, there were also several smaller assassination attempts. However, they all failed. In the end, the Lovelace family decided to put the plan on hold and recalled all the assassins they sent out.
