Chapter 222 Ashby and Roscoe
Nora was almost 70, her face wrinkled, her hair gray. She looked like a granny from an ordinary family.
However, her icy and intense eyes always sent a chill down others’ spines.
She was expressionless but dignified.
Although Bernardo was on the scene and Bell was his henchman, he bowed at Nora first before answering the question.”Madam Nora…”
Then he answered, “Sean Mason is on the way to Jade Restaurant.”
“However, he didn’t make any choice at the entrance of the Coconut Hotel. He didn’t sit in either car but drove towards Jade Restaurant by himself…”
Bell told Bernardo every detail he had heard.
“I see.”
Bernardo squeezed the remark between his teeth, “Sure enough, he’s indeed cunning.”
“I guess he also finds it difficult to take sides. He must be afraid of making the wrong choice and ending up miserably in the future.”
Bernardo had thought of it before.
Sean’s choice wasn’t only related to his own destiny but also to the safety of the Mason family. Once Sean chose to follow Prince Ashby, the Mason family would be in an awkward position.
Therefore, the longer it took Sean to decide, the more Bernardo was tortured.
“Continue watching him. Keep us updated on time,” said Nora.
Then she closed her eyes again.
“Yes, Madam Nora.”
Bell left immediately.
Bernardo glanced at her and parted his lips, but he bit back the words that sprung to his lips.
Nora suddenly sought refuge with Prince Ashby. However, she didn’t discuss it with Bernardo before making the decision. Instead, it was her own opinion. Bernardo was annoyed by it but dared not to complain.
“Calm down. Don’t be afraid.”
Although Nora closed her eyes, she seemingly saw Bernardo’s expression and read his mind. She muttered, “I watched Sean Mason grow. I know him well.”
“He’ll definitely choose to follow Prince Roscoe.”
Bernardo was surprised by her certainty. In fact, he also watched Sean grow up and thought he knew Sean well. However, he wasn’t confident that Sean would follow Prince Roscoe instead of Prince Ashby.
After all, Prince Ashby had become the heir of the Padishah, so he had more advantages to winning the competition.
Of course, Bernardo wished Nora’s judgment was correct. Only after Sean became Prince Ashby’s foe could the Mason family eliminate Sean through the crown prince’s power.

On the other side. Porter’s Villa.
Like in the Mason Manor, a man and a woman were also sitting in the hall of the main house–Pierce Porter and his daughter, Luna.
Pierce was also uneasy like Bernardo, afraid Sean would take Prince Ashby’s side. In that case, Sean would do something to the Porter family by using the crown prince’s power.
On the contrary, Luna was as calm as Nora. Holding a cup of coffee, she took sips from time to time, full of confidence.
“Luna…”
The relationship between Pierce and Luna continued to worsen in recent days. As her father, the family master, he didn’t want to apologize to Luna first. Unfortunately, Luna knew more details about Prince Roscoe’s plan.
Therefore, Pierce bit the bullet and asked, “Do you have the confidence?”
“What kind of confidence do you want, Father?”
Luna curled her lips into a smile, put down the coffee mug, and asked, “The confidence to be friends with Sean Mason or kill him?”
“Well…”
Pierce replied awkwardly, “No matter what happens, we should have the confidence to deal with it.”
In his opinion, Sean was life-threatening.
The Porter family had four masters of the Complete Stage in Dark Energy. However, Sean could fight against three of them at the same time. He had arrived in the capital. Like a time bomb, he could explode anytime.
Not to mention Pierce and Bernardo, Prince Ashby and Prince Roscoe had concerns about Sean.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have sent their sons to invite Sean for dinner and pushed him to take sides as soon as Sean arrived in the capital.
The two princes didn’t stop competing in recent years, but their forces were matched. Therefore, there was a weird balance between them, and they hadn’t fallen out with each other.
However, once Sean joined either side, the balance would be broken, and the competition would go white hot.
Luna giggled after seeing her father’s worried face, as if the more Pierce suffered, the more delighted she was.
After laughing for a while, she pointed at her laptop and said, “Sean Mason has arrived at Jade Restaurant.”
“We’ll know the result soon.”
“Father, since you can’t wait to know it, watch yourself.”
Pierce’s heart skipped a beat. As he was too worried to care about his dignity, he rushed to Luna and looked down at the laptop screen, on which the scene at the entrance of Jade Restaurant was shown.
A black Bentley Mulsanne slowly stopped. In front and behind it were more than 20 luxury cars, respectively.
The doors of the Bentley Mulsanne were opened. Sean, Pupil Wolf, and Spirit Wolf got off.
Then they strode into Jade Restaurant.
Pierce’s pupils constricted slightly, his heart in his mouth.
…
Meanwhile, the scene where Sean and the other two entered Jade Restaurant was shown on the big screen in a coffee shop.
Only two mid-aged men were sitting there.
They were the most powerful men in the capital — Ashby McAllister, the crown prince, and Roscoe McAllister, the sixth son of the Padishah.
They were from the McAllister family, the royal family.
When they were young, they always hung out in this coffee shop.
It had been years since they had coffee together the very last time.
Sean had arrived in the capital. The McAllister brothers, who had competed for many years, appeared in the coffee shop again to watch the show.
While enjoying the coffee, they watched the show together.
“Look. He entered.”
Ashby narrowed his eyes at the screen, chuckling.
Ashby was the second son of the Padishah, almost 60. He was gifted. Fifteen years ago, he reached the Complete Stage in Dark Energy when he was only 40. His cultivation speed was one time faster than that of the gifted master of Dark Energy in other influential families.
After all, the cultivation resources for the royal family were far better than other families.
Besides, royal blood was another advantage.
“Ehn.”
Roscoe nodded and said, “The good show begins soon.”
Roscoe had just turned 40, still in the Late Stage in Dark Energy, only one step away from upgrading. He was also excellent. If he hadn’t been born 10 years later than Ashby, he wouldn’t have been in the lower level.
That was why Ashby and Roscoe were followed by others among the rest six sons of the Padishah.
Only the talented, powerful princes were qualified to enter the Bright Realm, which was required to become the next emperor.
In Shirine Empire, Ashby and Roscoe had the top talents and speed during the cultivation.
However, Sean was indeed a black horse.
He was only 26, but he had reached the Complete Stage in Dark Energy. Of course, others would fear and pay attention to him.
Even if Sean wanted to keep it lowkey, he couldn’t.
Gazing at the screen, Ashby watched Sean, and the other two go to the second floor and suddenly suggested, “Well, Roscoe…”
“Shall we take a bet?”
