Chapter 5858
“Right. Back to business. Did we figure out the whereabouts of the beads?”
When he changed the subject, Kyren Pedler was looking at his documents on a laptop.
“There are four with Aenar Temple right now.
“Kronen Temple and Adenar Temple have one each.
“The Two-Eyed, Three-Eyed, Four-Eyed, Five-Eyed, Six-Eyed, and the Seven-Eyed Beads are included.
“The One-Eyed Bead is in the hands of a mysterious buyer.
“The Eight-Eyed Bead seemed to be with the Higgs family, and the Nine-Eyed Bead with the Klein family.”
“Tch! It won’t be right if I act before the Nine Eyed Beads are gathered. After all, this isn’t our turf. We should wait until the ceremony starts before we do anything,” said Kyren after briefly pondering the situation.
“And the other thing?”
“The competition between the four great tribes is about to start,” replied Mr. Tanaka.
“Because of the forces arriving at the outskirts, the competition would be extremely massive.
“According to our intel, Henrik Higgs, the man who left
Chinatown, brought his disciple here to sweep the competition to take authority.
“The financial group of the country’s top ten families might also show up here.
“Simply put, whoever wins the entire competition is destined to have great benefits in the outskirts.
“Maybe they’d be able to force the three great temples to assemble the beads with the forces here.
Kyren shook his head while chuckling.
“Things aren’t that simple.
“Uniting the outskirts and its resources would surely come with great benefits…
“But the three great temples aren’t as simple as they seem.
“I have an extraordinary identity, Mr. Tanaka. I can’t do anything about this.
“If we want a hand in the competition, I’ll have to ask for your help.”
Mr. Tanaka smiled.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Kyren.
“I’ve been out of battle for many years, but my strength isn’t just for show.
“Since you’re interested in the competition…
“I’ll conquer the outskirts as a present to commemorate my meeting with you and the eldest lady!”
Kyren nodded with a determined expression.
Harvey walked back to the stairs of Eden Mountain without informing anyone.
After entering the villa, he thought about the situation before giving Dutch a call.
“Kyren Pedler, the Silver Knight?
Dutch paused before chuckling.
“He’s quite a prominent figure of the Warrior Tribe.
“There are rumors that the White Robes under him are formidable, even compared to the other forces in the tribe.
“The White Robes were on par with the Border Force in every single one of their conflicts.
“Then again, Kyren was just useless filth who previously didn’t dare set foot on the battlefield.
“The five dukes of the Warrior Tribe would only scramble after seeing your face.
“Even the Great Emperor also has no choice but to pay his respect to you.
“The Silver Knight is nothing to you.
“That said, there were two dukes who fell ill during the recent years. The Silver Knight had been trying to force a conflict so he could accomplish a feat enough to be nominated as a duke.”
