Chapter 5785
Miley Surrey instinctively shivered after hearing Stefan Augustus’ words.
She realized all the upperclassmen had profound meaning in their words.
She thought Stefan was being too reckless previously, but she had not expected that he was only faking a persona.
It was a shame that Harvey York was no ordinary person either.
“If that’s the case, how should we proceed?
Miley gazed sternly.
“Are we just going to watch as the three beads are sent to the Aenar Temple?
“It’d be no different than us accepting nukes.”
Miley’s head started to spin.
She would naturally be willing to accept the beads before. After all, this was her true goal for trying to take over the Surrey family in the first place.
But times had changed. With Conrad Surrey making such a strong comeback using his identity as an American…
The beads were definitely no good to have.
At least, all sorts of influential figures had come just for the Nine-Eyed Beads.
Whoever obtained half of those beads first would be inviting their own deaths.
“Maybe I should refuse the beads in Aenar Temple’s stead…”
Stefan shook his head before opening the window, gazing at the statue behind him, basking in sunlight.
“Why should we?
“Aenar Temple is one of the three great temples. It’s an actual sect.
“Why should we refuse the legendary beads and stop them from showing up at the ceremony? What good would that do us?
“And if we do, what would happen to our reputation and identity?”
“But…
“If we take the three beads, the situation after that…”
Stefan briefly thought about the situation.
“We can’t refuse, but we can’t let it happen either.
“After all, watching the big show would reap greater rewards than joining the fight.
“How about this? Help the Surrey family pick a good time. Tell them that they can only send it then.
“I’m sure nobody would say anything about us then, right?”
Miley froze for a while.
“That’s true…
“And to prevent the Eyed Beads from going missing, Aenar Temple will send The Eighteen Brazen to the Surrey family as reassurance,” reasoned Stefan.
“But Mr. Stefan…”
“This is what we have to do.
Stefan smiled.
“That said, to show our thanks, everyone in Aenar Temple will be reciting our scripture on the same day according to our rules.
“That means that the Surrey family has to bring the beads here themselves…”
Miley’s eyes lit up after hearing Stefan’s remarks.
“Another thing; go look for Conrad. He belongs to the family, after all.
“Make sure that he doesn’t go against Aenar Temple. Whoever goes for the beads will be met with our full force.
“That said, we wouldn’t be responsible to look for the beads if they went missing before we provide our protection…”
