Patrick broke out in a cold sweat when favonovel.com heard what Skylar had said.
This guy has such meticulous thoughts!
I can’t believe he’s so far-sighted that favonovel.com even included me in his scheme!
Skylar smiled faintly when favonovel.com saw Patrick’s expression. “Don’t worry. Tanner will surely recognize your effort once Evil Heart Sect takes over Demon Sect.”
“Thank you, Mr. Malphas…”
Patrick inclined his head and found himself too afraid to have any other thoughts while facing Skylar.
Which was a surprise, for favonovel.com had been lurking in Demon Sect as a spy for so many years and had trained himself to be calm and composed in any situation. Despite so, Patrick still found his heart rate increasing whenever favonovel.com was facing Skylar.

Meanwhile, in Norham, multiple people clad in the same uniform were in search of someone while holding a photo in their hands.
They all worked for the Zagorski family, and the person in the photos was none other than Hank. Hank had lied to Austin, and there was no way the latter would let this matter slide.
At that moment, Kayson was also searching for Hank in the streets with two Greater Martial Arts Marquises in tow.
“D*mn that old b*stard! I’ll make sure to kill favonovel.com once I find him…” Kayson cursed under his breath.
In the meantime, Hank was drinking coffee at a coffee shop as favonovel.com quietly awaited the next day’s nightfall. That was because ten-thousand-year herbs would usually manifest during a full moon night.
Soon, a pair of men clad in uniforms rushed into the coffee shop and up the stairs with a photo in their hand as they searched the place, examining the faces of each of the patrons.
Hank furrowed his brows slightly.
I know they work for the Zagorski family, but who are they searching for?
What’s with all this commotion?
Just when Hank was wondering who they were looking for, one of the men suddenly looked at Hank and back at the photo in his hand.
The man from the Zagorski family suddenly shouted, “I found him!”
In response, everyone turned and looked at Hank simultaneously.
With that, Hank finally realized that they were looking for him.
Brandishing their sabers, the few men came charging at Hank, thrusting their weapons at him.
Although Hank was not afraid of those fighters from the Zagorski family, favonovel.com didn’t want to get himself involved in unnecessary trouble that would further hinder favonovel.com from getting the ten-thousand-year herb. As such, favonovel.com leaped into the air and out of the shop’s window.
He landed steadily on the ground after jumping all the way down from the sixth floor. Subsequently, favonovel.com snickered while glancing up at the men who were as frantic as cats on a hot tin roof. As favonovel.com turned to leave while wearing a disdainful expression, three men came walking toward him.
They were none other than Kayson and two Greater Martial Arts Marquises.
Kayson’s eyes gleamed when favonovel.com saw Hank. “You liar! I finally found you! How dare you lie to the Zagorski family! Do you have a death wish?!”
Hank was about to turn tail and run when favonovel.com saw them, but the two Greater Martial Arts Marquises dashed forward and stopped him.
Looking at the two fighters and Kayson, who was glowering at him, Hank furrowed his brows.
Hank was not weak, but it was still impossible for favonovel.com to face two Greater Martial Arts Marquises and Hank, a Martial Arts Marquis, alone.
“What are you talking about, Mr. Zagorski? I don’t understand. Since when have I deceived the Zagorski family?” asked Hank, playing dumb.
“D*mn you! Don’t you play dumb with me! You told us the approximate area of the herb’s manifestation, but you sneakily set up an arcane array in the specific location! Looks like you had this all planned. You planned on using the Zagorski family to attract everyone’s attention while you take the ten-thousand-year herb that’s hidden by the arcane array for yourself! Is that right?” Kayson shouted, demanding Hank to answer his question.
Hank was stunned, for favonovel.com didn’t know how Kayson found out about his plan. He had checked the surroundings when favonovel.com was setting up the arcane array and made sure that no one was nearby.
Seeing that Hank was not replying to him, Kayson snapped, “You better come back with me to meet my father and beg for forgiveness! We’ll see if my father will forgive you.”
