Chapter 3248 Keeping Lawrence In Suspense
Jared let out a wry chuckle upon realizing he had been too desperate. The idea that one could comprehend nascence just by slaying a nascence beast was just too good to be true.
With that, Jared continued to journey deeper into the forest to hunt for more nascence beasts. Even if he couldn’t comprehend metal nascence, it was still good physical training for him.
While Jared busied himself in the Seizon family’s ancestral land, the sky gradually brightened outside. Cloud was all dressed up and ready to join the foray into the Seizon family’s ancestral land. Before departing, Cloud wanted to let Jared know but couldn’t find the latter in his room.
“Ms. Feenix, where’s Mr. Chance?” Cloud asked.
“I don’t know. I’m looking for him too. Master was already gone by early morning,” Feenix replied with an anxious look on her face.
“Where has he disappeared to?” Cloud frowned slightly. Logically speaking, Mr. Chance would never leave without saying goodbye. Hence, there is only one possibility-he has sneaked into the Seizon family’s ancestral land. I know very well that he wants to go there, for the independent nascence is something he can’t resist getting his hands on.
Holding that thought, Cloud said to Feenix, “Calm down, Ms. Feenix. Mr. Chance probably has something to do that he didn’t inform us about. He will probably be back once he’s done.”
“I have to go join the others now. You should stay here; don’t wander off by yourself.”
Upon reassuring Feenix, Cloud hurried to the Seizon residence’s grand hall. Right then, the grand hall was crowded with people, including dozens of the Seizon family’s young disciples. All of them were prepared to enter the ancestral land.
Cade had been waiting outside the door for Cloud’s arrival. Upon noticing the latter, Cade led him in and stationed him in the line. No one harbored any suspicions concerning the latter’s identity.
After settling Cloud in, Cade stood outside the door once more with an anxious look on his face. Soon, Livya hurried over and shook her head at Cade.
“Where’s Miya? How can she be absent on such a grand occasion like this? Does she think any Tom, Dick, or Harry can be allowed into the ancestral land?” Cade grumbled.
“Cade, Miya has been missing since last night. She never came home at all!” Livya whispered. Cade was enraged by what he heard. “Why didn’t you inform me beforehand that she hasn’t returned? Where am I supposed to look for her now?”
Cade’s brows furrowed, while his face reddened from anger. Why can’t this sister of mine behave for once?
The furious look on Cade’s face terrified Livya into silence.
“All right, you should go in now. I’ll inform Father about it.”
After settling Livya into the group, Cade walked toward Lawrence, who was sitting in the main seat. After he whispered into Lawrence’s ear, the latter’s expression drastically changed.
“That girl has gone overboard! I’m going to punish her the next time I see her!” Lawrence snarled.
“Mr. Lawrence, it’s about time. Shall we get a move on?” an elder of the family inquired after checking the time. Lawrence nodded in response before turning to the nearby Enrique, asking, “Enrique, it’s time for us to set off.”
“Wait a moment, Lawrence. I would like to deal with something before we enter the ancestral land,” Enrique answered.
“What is it?” the curious Lawrence asked.
“You’ll know soon enough!” Enrique merely flashed a slight smile, keeping his brother in suspense. A short while later, a group of tall and well-built men arrived at the Seizon residence’s grand hall.
From their figures, Lawrence could immediately tell that they were from Behemoth Palace. Leading the troop was an elderly man who was none other than the sect leader, Gideon Quattlebaum.
