After circulating his combat energy, Grimm realized that his injuries had miraculously healed. He opened his eyes and saw Merlin and the rest standing in front of him with worried faces. He could not help but smile. &Quot; good stuff. I’ve recovered from all my injuries. &Quot;
Merlin and the rest could not help but sigh in relief at the same time. Merlin even said, ” “You’ve really recovered? You injured your meridians.”
&Quot; it’s really all right. &Quot; Clint nodded. &Quot; these demon peaches are really amazing. It seems like we have to use those few more sparingly. &Quot;
Zhao Hai and the others couldn’t help but laugh. Green stood up from the bed and looked at the crowd.”Young master, how are the arrangements for the slaves? This time, they’re back in the space, I’m afraid they won’t be used to it?”
Zhao Hai nodded. The slaves had gotten used to the life outside the realm. They had their own rooms and their own wealth, which they cherished. Now that they were back in the realm, they were in low spirits.
“Versailles family, just you wait,” said Clint coldly.”One day, I will definitely return what you have given us.”
Zhao Hai and the others were filled with hatred as well. The Versailles clan had gone too far this time. They had actually hired a rank 9 expert to deal with them, and they even wanted to get rid of them completely.
What they didn’t know was that the Versailles family was more troubled than they were, especially Caesar. Caesar had never thought that Grimm would still escape even after he asked a level nine expert to help. It would be fine if Boffey killed Grimm and the others this time, but if he failed to kill them, then the Versailles family would be in trouble.
Although it was impossible for Grimm to be an eighth-level contender after Boff injured him, Merlin was still one. Moreover, he was a level-eight mage.
If Merlin and the others came to the Versailles family directly, they would not be afraid. However, they were afraid that Merlin and the others would attack them from behind. The Versailles family had many businesses on the continent, and they also had trade caravans. Every year, they would send some of their descendants out to train. If Merlin and the others really wanted to take revenge, they would attack these people, and their losses would be great. They could not possibly send 8th-level powerhouses to protect these people. They did not have that many 8th-level powerhouses.
Caesar was annoyed to death. He was the one who had proposed this plan, and now, it was considered a failure. If Boff could kill Merlin and the others, it would be fine. If he could not, then his plan would be a complete failure.
However, Boff also felt that the situation was very tricky. When he arrived at the iron Mountain castle, he found that there was no one there. He walked around the iron Mountain and still found no one, which made Boff very strange.
All level nine powerhouses had a problem. Whenever they went to a place, they liked to use their own divine sense to explore that place.
The divine sense was unique to a level 9 expert. Be it a warrior or a mage, once they reached level 9, they would be able to produce the divine sense. People before level 9 could at most use their divine sense to look into their own bodies, but once they reached level 9, they could release their divine sense and use it to detect things. A normal level 9 expert’s divine sense could cover a kilometer of Fang Yuan, but when a mage reached level 9, their divine sense would be stronger than a level 9 warrior’s. It could cover up to three kilometers of Fang Yuan.
When he arrived at the iron Mountain castle, he used his spiritual awareness to explore it. Of course, he found nothing. Then he went back to the iron Mountain castle and found no one.
A mercenary might be able to tell from the thickness of the dust that Zhao Hai and the others had just left the iron Mountain castle. However, Boff did not understand this. Other than cultivation, he had spent his entire life killing people. Usually, he only killed people after his family had provided him with information. Therefore, he did not know much about this. He only saw that there was no one in the iron Castle, so he flew to the iron Mountain to look for them.
Of course, he couldn’t search the iron Mountain bit by bit like others. Instead, he flew over the iron Mountain and swept over it with his spiritual awareness. When he found no one was there, he flew over. Therefore, he didn’t find those nixies in the canyon. Even if he did, he wouldn’t recognize them.
Since he could not find Zhao Hai and the others, Boffey did not go to the corpse swamp to investigate. Instead, he turned around and flew back. Although Boffey did not know much about the world, his loyalty to the Versailles family was unspeakable. Since he could not find Zhao Hai and the others, he wanted to go back and inform his family.
Although Zhao Hai and the others had noticed that Boff had left, they hid in the medium and didn’t dare to go out. They didn’t know if Boff was still in Iron Mountain castle. If he was still there, they would be exposed once they went out. So, Zhao Hai decided to stay in the medium for a while.
However, Zhao Hai’s trade with the Versailles family did not stop, nor did he increase the price. He knew that this was not the time to increase the price. If the price increased, the Versailles family would come and find trouble with them. They were not afraid, but not for Laura. In order not to cause any trouble for Laura, they decided to trade with the Versailles family normally.
However, Caesar was not in a good mood at all. He sat in his office with documents on his desk, but he was not in the mood to care about them.
Yesterday, he had planned everything out. As long as Boff killed Grimm, he would send the eighth-level experts in his family to the blackearth wilderness to kill Merlin and the others. Then, this matter would be considered over. He would also get the support of most of the neutral elders in his family, and his position as the great elder would be more stable.
However, he did not expect Grimm to have an ancient magic tool on him and escape. Although he had never seen anyone use an ancient magic tool, he could not be wrong with what Boff said. Now, he only hoped that Boff could find Merlin and the others successfully and kill them. Then, he would have a way to remedy the situation.
Caesar sat there in a daze, hoping that Boff would come back soon and bring him good news. He had already felt that the second and third elders had changed the way they looked at him after Grimm escaped.
Caesar understood what they meant. The second elder and third elder were waiting for him to make a mistake. If Boff failed to destroy the Buda family this time, his good days would be over.
At the thought of this, Caesar couldn’t help but become more irritated and shouted, ” “Blue Princess, come in.”
Blue Princess was stunned for a moment, but she still walked in and bowed to Caesar.”First elder, what are your orders?”
Caesar looked at LAN Ji’s graceful figure hidden in her magic robe. His eyes were filled with desire.”Come here.”
LAN Ji had been with Caesar for a long time. She knew him very well. She knew what he was going to do just by looking at his eyes. She wasn’t afraid. Instead, she smiled and moved closer to him.
On this day, the Versailles family didn’t seem any different to outsiders, but everyone in the family knew that this was just the calm before the storm. Everyone was waiting for Boffey. If Boffey’s operation was successful, nothing major would happen to the Versailles family. However, if Boffey failed, there would be a storm in the Versailles family, and the power level of the Versailles family would be reshuffled.
Everyone in the Versailles family was waiting for the news, and so were the other major forces in Casar city. They were waiting for the same news as the Versailles family, which was about baphe.
One shouldn’t underestimate the power of the major clans. They had eyes and ears within the Versailles clan. If anything major happened within the Versailles clan, they would know. This was why there was a saying that circulated throughout the continent: “high officials have no secrets.”
It meant that if you were in a high position, you would not have any privacy. Of course, this was only relative to other people in high positions. Ordinary civilians would not know about the affairs of those high officials.
Laura was sitting in her study room with a frown on her face. Nicole was standing behind her as usual, and kun was sitting opposite her with a frown on his face. The three of them were silent.
“Guards!” Lola shouted after a long while. A servant from outside immediately ran in and bowed to Laura. &Quot; “Miss, what are your orders?”
“Is there still no news from the Versailles family?” Lola asked.
The servant lowered his head. &Quot; yes, there’s no news yet. Boff hasn’t returned yet. &Quot;
Laura nodded and waved her hand. The servant bowed and left. Laura turned to kun Zheng and said, ” “Grandpa kun Zheng, what do you think the Versailles clan is thinking? Why did such a thing happen at this time? it might affect our plan.”
Kun Zheng smiled bitterly. &Quot; “What else could it be? the pride of a great noble, and the way they handle things. Everyone on the continent knows how the Versailles family treats the Buda family. This time, I heard that the Buda family’s Chief Steward has already reached the peak of rank 8. If he were to break through one day, it would be a big problem for the Versailles family, so they wanted to find an excuse to kill him. However, they didn’t expect that he would have an ancient magical tool on him, and he managed to escape. It’ll be fine if Boff’s operation is a success, but if it fails, the Versailles family will be in trouble, and our plan will definitely be affected.”
Laura stood up irritatedly and said, ” these guys are really … The Buda family is already in trouble, and they still hit them when they are down. They came to cancel the engagement, but they still want to destroy them. They have caused such a big trouble. If the Versailles family really has internal strife because of this, they will have no time to worry about the food problem. At that time, those big companies will take the opportunity to make a move, and the food price will probably rise again. &Quot;
Kun Zheng smiled bitterly. &Quot; all we can do now is wait. If Boff’s operation is successful, everything will be fine. If not, we’ll have to think of another way. By the way, miss, I think we should go and inform Mr. Zhao Hai in advance, right? ”
Lola shook her head. &Quot; let’s wait for a while. We’ll wait until the Versailles family has concrete news. No matter what, this matter will not affect Mr. Zhao Hai. &Quot;
Kun Zheng sighed. &Quot; it’s a pity for the Buda family. I’m afraid they won’t be able to escape this time. After all, Boff is a grade-9 expert. &Quot;
