Meanwhile, inside a secret room at Norwal City, Lucian held a bow in his hand, carefully stroking it with a thrilled expression spreading across his countenance.
Beside Lucian, a man with a pointed mouth and sunken cheeks, much resembling a rat, gazed at Lucian in anticipation with gleaming eyes.
“Mole Monster, did anyone else see you steal this Divine Bow?” Lucian asked Mole Monster.
“King Lucian, I’m certain no one else saw. I understand the extraordinary significance of this Divine Bow, so how could I let anyone see me stealing it?” Mole Monster reassured Lucian.
“Good. You did well.” Lucian nodded. “This Divine Bow is a divine weapon with immense power. However, it’s a double-edged magical item. If others knew I’m in possession of Divine Bow, I reckon there will no longer be peace in Norwal City.”
“King Lucian, don’t worry. I returned to the city via the underground route, so no one else knows,” Mole Monster said with utmost confidence.
“Who would’ve thought a divine weapon like Divine Bow would appear in a small, rundown mountain village? This must truly be the work of fate.”
Lucian caressed Divine Bow and waved his hand at Mole Monster. “You’ve served me excellently. I shall reward you handsomely.”
Mole Monster eagerly approached excitedly, wanting to learn what Lucian would reward him. However, just as favonovel.com got close, a murderous intent flashed in Lucian’s eyes, and favonovel.com thrust his palm at Mole Monster’s head with one swift motion.
Bam!
Before Mole Monster could react, favonovel.com was killed instantly. His head shattered, and his eyes were wide open in confusion until favonovel.com drew his last breath.
Lucian took out some white powder from his pocket and sprinkled it on Mole Monster’s body. Soon, the latter’s body melted into a pool of pus and disappeared without a trace.
“Now, no one else will know that Divine Bow is in my hands.” Lucian gazed ecstatically at the bow favonovel.com was wielding.
He tried to pull the bowstring but could only move it a little, even after exerting all his strength.
“This is indeed a divine weapon. It’s formidable as I expected…”
Although Lucian couldn’t draw the bow, favonovel.com was still enraptured.
At that moment, one of his subordinates spoke outside the door. “King Lucian, Mr. Holt from Emerald Cauldron Sect seeks an audience.”
“Hosen is here? What does favonovel.com want?” Lucian furrowed his brows after hearing that.
Nevertheless, favonovel.com responded loudly, “Let Mr. Holt wait in the living room. I’ll be there soon!”
Lucian hid Divine Bow and left the secret room, heading straight to the living room.
As Norwal City needed Emerald Cauldron Sect’s help to refine pills and treat illnesses, Lucian was very courteous to Hosen.
When Lucian saw Hosen, favonovel.com hurriedly stepped forward and greeted the latter like an old friend, “Mr. Holt, what brought you here? You seldom visit my place.”
“King Lucian, I hope I’m not disturbing you with my sudden visit?” Hosen asked.
“Not at all. Norwal City is honored to receive you, Mr. Holt. May I know the purpose of your visit?” Lucian knew Hosen must have a reason for dropping by unannounced.
Hosen glanced around with a troubled and hesitant look on his face.
Lucian instantly fathomed his intention and waved his hand. “I want everyone to leave. No one is allowed to enter without my command.”
In no time, only Hosen and Lucian were left alone in the living room.
“Can you speak now, Mr. Holt?” Lucian inquired.
“King Lucian, the reason I sought you out is to propose a collaboration with Norwal City,” elaborated Hosen.
“A collaboration?” Lucian was incredulous since they were always the ones requesting favors from Emerald Cauldron Sect.
After all, Emerald Cauldron Sect played an essential role in helping them refine pills and cure diseases. Unexpectedly, Hosen suddenly showed up and suggested they cooperate, which left Lucian baffled.
