Chapter 244 Humble! Sean’s Test
“Yes!”
Prince Roscoe gave an order, and the Complete Stage old man naturally wouldn’t obstruct any further. He stepped back and gestured with his hand, “Mr. Mason, please!”
“Thank you.”
Sean nodded with a smile and strode into the main building.
Tim Lewis followed closely behind Sean, his heart pounding. He couldn’t understand what Sean wanted him to do by bringing him along. Was it to be a witness? Could it be that after sealing his dark energy at Jade Restaurant, he had said something he shouldn’t have said while in a daze?
He was terrified!
On one side was Sean, and on the other was Prince Roscoe. Both were powerful figures he couldn’t afford to offend. One word from either could determine his life or death. He couldn’t imagine the consequences if he said or did the wrong thing later!
In the main building’s living room, sitting on the sofa was an extraordinary middle-aged man. Sean recognized him at a glance!
Prince Roscoe!
Five years ago, when Sean was still the young master of the Mason family, he had seen Prince Roscoe several times, although they had never interacted. He had only seen him from a distance, following behind his grandfather, Williams Mason.
Behind Prince Roscoe stood two Complete Stage elders, guarding his safety closely.
It was no wonder that Prince Roscoe, who was on par with Prince Ashby and had the ability to compete for the throne, could gather so many Complete Stage fighters around him. Even the princes and grandchildren of the capital’s major families couldn’t gather that many fighters!
“Your Highness.”
Sean cupped his hands, bowed, and paid his respects to Prince Roscoe.
According to the rules, ordinary people were supposed to kneel when they met a prince!
But Sean didn’t!Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Sean was a military man, and a military man’s backbone couldn’t bend. Even when facing princes and their children, he didn’t need to kneel!
This was also a rule!
Moreover!
It was a rule set by Padishah himself!
The purpose was clear-it was to prevent princes from abusing their noble status to interfere in military affairs!
A soldier only obeyed the commands of Padishah!
So!
As the former General Wolf of the North, there was only one person in the entire kingdom who was qualified to make Sean kneel-Padishah!
Tim Lewis, following behind Sean, was startled by Sean’s actions!
Damn!
He didn’t kneel before Prince Roscoe???
You’re so bold!!!
Sean was indeed bold, but Tim Lewis didn’t have the courage. His legs went weak, and he knelt on the cold floor, kowtowing deeply to Prince Roscoe without even daring to lift his head!
“Your Highness!”
His voice was extremely respectful!
Pierce Porter, who was walking behind them, couldn’t help but frown when he saw this scene. The contrast between Sean and Tim Lewis was too stark-one kowtowing, the other merely cupping his hands and bowing!
Pierce Porter couldn’t help but wonder, “Hasn’t Sean already chosen to side with Prince Roscoe?”
“Where does this guy get the confidence to act so arrogantly in front of Prince Roscoe?”
“Disrespecting a prince is punishable by death!”
Sean’s identity as General Wolf of the North was a closely guarded military secret. Only his Bloody Wolf Group comrades and the royal family knew about it. Clan leaders like Bernardo and Pierce Porter were unaware!
Otherwise, Bernardo wouldn’t have underestimated Sean and blindly attacked him, resulting in heavy losses!
Pierce Porter glanced at Luna Porter beside him, only to see her calm face. Her slightly swollen face showed no surprise, as if she knew something.
This made Pierce Porter’s heart sink!
“Wretch!”
He cursed inwardly, “You got Prince Roscoe’s support, getting into his bed, and becoming his woman, you have learned some secrets and kept them from me!”
“You are a disaster!”
“You can’t stay around!”
Pierce Porter felt even more that Luna Porter’s existence wasn’t a good thing for him or the Porter family!
“Mr. Mason, please don’t do that.”
As Pierce Porter was lost in thought, Prince Roscoe nodded with a smile and gestured to Sean, “Mr. Mason, please have a seat.”
Mr. Mason!
Prince Roscoe’s way of addressing Sean and his attitude towards him shocked Pierce Porter.
What was going on???
Sean was so rude to Prince Roscoe, yet not only did the prince not blame him, but he also treated Sean with great respect!
What made Sean worthy of Prince Roscoe’s title of “Mister”?
Could he be worth Prince Roscoe’s invitation?
Was it his strength?
With Sean’s power, he was undoubtedly a standout, even among practitioners of the Complete Stage. His strength was truly formidable. Yet, Prince Roscoe had no shortage of highly skilled individuals around him, including a multitude of Complete Stage practitioners. Had he ever been so polite to any of them?
“Thank you, Prince Roscoe.”
Sean wasn’t one for pleasantries. He turned and sat down on a nearby sofa.
Prince Roscoe chuckled, “Mr. Mason is a few years older than Carl. As Carl’s friend, you’re a guest in my place and should feel at ease. When you have time, you should let Carl show you around our home.”
In the presence of Sean, Prince Roscoe was easygoing, devoid of any royal arrogance. And what’s more, Sean had always emphasized that he was just a friend of Carl’s, not a follower. Thus, Prince Roscoe invited Sean on Carl’s behalf. Their mutual understanding was unspoken, yet perfectly executed.
However, Prince Roscoe didn’t extend the same courtesy to Tim Lewis. Throughout the encounter, he didn’t even glance at Tim, who knelt trembling on the cold floor, not daring to move an inch. Such was the difference in their status.
Tim Lewis’s heart bled. He and Sean were both Complete Stage practitioners, but in front of Prince Roscoe, their treatment couldn’t have been more disparate. Sean was treated as an esteemed guest while he was relegated to a position of utter humility.
“Your Highness, rest assured,” Sean glanced at Tim Lewis, stating, “Once I have settled my affairs, I’ll be sure to visit.”
“Good!” Prince Roscoe nodded and then asked, “May I know what matter Mr. Mason needs to address? Perhaps I can be of some assistance.”
This was less of a question.
Sean didn’t bother with niceties, stating directly, “Five years ago, my grandfather passed away due to illness, my father disappeared, my mother died tragically, and I was wrongfully imprisoned…”
“I believe Your Highness is aware of these events.”
Prince Roscoe nodded.
Sean continued, “Having survived against all odds, I have come to the capital to uncover the truth, seek revenge for the past, find my father, and make those responsible pay. I hope to give my grandfather and mother peace in their afterlife.”
“The truth?” Prince Roscoe’s brow arched, “If I remember correctly, after your grandfather’s death, internal strife within the Mason family led to the subsequent tragedies.”
“So, Mr. Mason’s enemy… isn’t it the Mason family, now controlled by Old Mrs. Mason and Bernardo Mason?”
What he implied was, with the truth so apparent, what more did he seek?
“Your Highness is correct,” Sean responded solemnly, “the Mason family is indeed my enemy.”
“However,” he added, “My enemies might not be limited to the Mason family.”
As he spoke, Sean turned to glance at Pierce Porter, abruptly announcing, “Because, after my investigation, I can now say with certainty that there were suspicious circumstances surrounding my grandfather’s death!”
“It wasn’t an illness. It was murder!”
As the word “murder” fell from Sean’s lips, Pierce Porter’s heart gave a violent start, his face blanching. Although he quickly suppressed his shock, he couldn’t escape Sean’s keen gaze.
