“It looks like we’ve overestimated his ability by thinking he has achieved King Class. The Great Marshal knew he has
many enemies, so he wouldn’t arrange for Mr. Collins to be his only guard there. He must have assigned the snipers
to protect himself.”
Julian lowered his head, looked at his broken limbs, and sighed, “How I wish I could get rid of Zeke.”
Ares knew what he was trying to imply. Without a doubt, Julian wanted him to restore his limbs.
Ares said, “I’ve told you before, we need the Spirit Stone to restore your limbs. I asked the colonel today about it,
and he said the Spirit Stone is scarce, and he couldn’t simply give it to someone. We must prove our contribution to
earn the stone as a reward.”
Julian said in disappointment, “We’re living in peaceful times. How are we going to contribute if there isn’t an
opportunity for us?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAres also responded with a sigh, “Indeed. It’s not something that can happen at the snap of a finger. Come, let’s
make a trip to the Spirit Stone mine.”
Julian gave him a puzzled look, “Father, please don’t tell me you want to steal the Spirit Stone?”
“The guardian of the Spirit Stone mine belongs to the number one King Class warrior. Many fighters are also
stationed in that area. I don’t think we have a chance.”
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Ares asked, “Do you think I’m that kind of person?”
“So...” Julian asked curiously.
Ares said, “Eurasia’s number one King Class warrior and I are the only two persons who have achieved that level.
We should support each other and help each other out. It shouldn’t be a problem if I were to ask for a few Spirit
Stones from him, right?”
Julian was enlightened, “You’re right, father.”
“Come, let’s go. I’ll make the necessary arrangement.”
In the meantime, Zeke had been observing Julian’s and Ares’s movements.
At this point, he was certain that Ares and Julian were in cahoots with Solis and Luna.
What puzzled Zeke was why would this man, who had once risked his life to protect his homeland, betray his nation
after coming back from the brink of death?
What had happened exactly?
After knowing Ares was heading towards the Spirit Stone mine, Zeke decided to make a trip to the site as well.
It was obvious why Ares decided to make a trip to the mine. He wanted to get his hands on the Spirit Stones.
The Spirit Stone mine was Eurasia’s only hope now, and it should not fall into the hands of these ruffians.
Besides, Zeke needed to have a talk with Ares.
He needed to talk to him to understand the change in his personality.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter a day of traveling, Ares and his men finally arrived in Devonville before sunset.
They were, however, nowhere near the Spirit Stone mine when the guards, who were stationed on the outskirts
stopped them from advancing.
Julian was furious, “Are you blind? My father is Ares! How dare you stop him from entering!”
The guards were not intimidated, “This order comes from the King. No one else is allowed to enter, except for the
colonel. Whether you’re an elite or commoner, we’ll execute any trespassers.”
They were very determined, and no one could change their mind.
Ares sighed. They had no other options but to find a way to gain merit first before they could ask for the Spirit
Stone.
He already had a plan in mind as to how to gain the merit required.
Ares insisted on helping Julian recover his limbs because he wanted to win him over and have total control over
him.
With Julian’s help, he could turn the Thisleton manor into the Prince’s residence.
He gently tapped on Julian’s shoulder, “Stay here, I need to make a call. I’ll be back soon.”
