Chapter 5715
Dutch smiled.
“There’s something you don’t know, Head Coach. As a sect, the Aenar Temple has peculiar habits. It’s said that they have a lot of magical instruments hidden in one of the statues.
“The statue broke, causing a lot of those instruments to fall out. They needed to perform a ritual so they could take the instruments away to be rebuilt.
“The entire process is extremely important for them. That was why they requested the government to bring us for their security work.”
Harvey pondered the situation.
“Out of all those instruments, is the legendary Two-Eyed Bead also included? It’s also going to show up at their ceremony later, right?”
Dutch froze.
“How did you know about that? Even in the Aenar Temple, this is a huge secret.
“It’s said that the top ten families, the five hidden families, the four cornerstones, and the sacred martial arts training grounds are interested in the bead.
“I’ve been catching a lot of thieves because of it, too. Security work is grueling there…
“The top ten families, the five hidden families, the four
cornerstones, and the sacred martial arts training grounds…” Harvey muttered.
He was a little shocked after hearing all those names. Were all powerful forces of the country about to gather in this very place?
“You’re not here for the bead too, are you?” Harvey asked.
Dutch froze, showing a look of surprise. He immediately realized what was going on after hearing the question.
“You can say that, but I’m not really interested in the bead either. Still, I came here to take a look since someone’s been desperately trying to get it,” he replied.
“What do you know about the bead?” Harvey said.
Dutch thought about it for a moment.
“You should know that I’m on par with a King of Arms. I’m a pretty good fighter, too.
“I haven’t been coming in contact with the bead, but… I felt my stamina being sucked away as soon as I take a closer look at it. It’s as if there’s a built-in black hole inside the bead.”
“Your stamina?” Harvey said.
He frowned for a moment.
“The Two-Eyed Bead will show up at the ceremony, right? Will you be in charge of security by then?”
Dutch nodded. “Yes.”
“From now on, claim that you’re sick. Let someone else deal with the security work.”
Harvey clapped.
“When that happens, even a God of War might not be able to deal with the situation, let alone you.”
Dutch froze.
“I don’t understand, sir. No matter how far away the outskirts is, it’s still part of Country H. It doesn’t matter what kind of powerful forces are coming…
“They wouldn’t dare ignore the law and do as they please, right?” Dutch said.
“Normally speaking, you’re right…” Harvey said.
“But throughout the country’s history, people have been chasing after one thing.
“Since ancient times, every single king would fight for the first half of their lives just to rule forever. And to be immortal, they kept fighting for the latter half of their lives as well.
“If kings are like this, what do you think of the powerful forces that are coming here? The bead’s all about everlasting life, after all.”
