The families were waiting for the water to detoxify before they sent all their people to enter the secret realm. They were behind the academy in timing, so they had to make up for it with numbers.
“Old Hobart, why don’t I see anyone from your academy coming?” Seeing only a few people around Mr. Hobart, the Millen family taunted him.
He knew that those were the lecturers of the academy. They came here in a hurry just to make their presence known. They had no way to enter the secret realm.
Mr. Hobart chuckled and said, “We’ve sent enough people inside. Besides, they entered one day in advance, which is more than enough for them to seize any opportunity they can find. Maybe they’ve found more than what we can deal with by now.”
His remark made other families and factions very angry and rueful.
Why were they unable to recruit talents like Philip?
Philip had obviously just joined the academy. If they were more powerful, they could snatch Philip away from the academy.
Anyway, Philip did not have a sense of belonging to the academy yet. Outstanding talents should be awarded to the highest bidder. That was the unwritten rule in practice.
Other than major families and factions, many powerful people also arrived at the scene. It was the time for old friends to meet and catch up.
“I wonder who will get the heritage this time!”
“Yeah, the last opening of the secret realm happened hundreds of years ago. I saw some records in ancient books.”
“The old master of the Zucker family predicted that something big would happen this time. Are they involved in this?”
“Did someone from the Zucker family make an appearance? I don’t think they sent anyone into the secret realm, but they didn’t mention if this big event is good or bad for us.”
Everyone discussed it anxiously.
For a while, the Zucker family’s prediction caught everyone’s attention.
The Zucker family had never been interested in the disputes between major families, but they had to make an appearance following Philip’s return.
The old master had nothing better to do and made a random prediction one day. He found that something big would make an appearance in the secret realm. Coupled with their knowledge of Philip’s whereabouts, they guessed that it must be related to Philip. However, the Zucker family did not go into details but merely sent some signals.
Others knew the rules of the industry and merely listened without asking questions.
“Okay, let’s not stray from the topic. Who do you think is most likely to get the heritage?” an old man said.
Everyone stated their opinions.
Of course, the major families supported their own people. Everyone threw out names of various talents, but no one mentioned Philip. After all, favonovel.com was just lucky to come up with those pills, which did not display his true strength.
Mr. Hobart did not join the discussion but stared at the lake fixedly. Although favonovel.com was not involved in the discussion, his mind was very active.
