“Come in!”

Sean sensed that there was more than one person – Maclean Lyons, and behind him, an old man in the accomplished realm that Ashby brought from the capital.

Clearly, Ashby was cautious and didn’t fully trust Maclean Lyons.

Therefore, Sean took off the blood-stained clothes from killing those poisonous insects and beasts, and went to the bathroom across the room. He hung the clothes next to the desk, deliberately exposing the corners of the two command tokens.

He wanted the old man to discover the existence of the two command tokens without making it too obvious.

This was a delicate task.

“General Mason!” After Maclean Lyons and the old man entered and didn’t see Sean, they heard the sound of running water in the bathroom across the room. They understood instantly. They exchanged glances, and Maclean Lyons started to speak, “We heard that General Mason left Fort South on the Black Rhino Tiger this evening and headed south, seemingly towards the mountains…”

“Correct!”

Sean’s voice echoed from the bathroom, “Is there a problem?”

“Not at all!” Maclean Lyons chuckled. “With the disorder in Fort South yet to be quelled and danger lurking in the mountains, General Mason had ridden into the storm only to return alone. I’m just a tad worried about General Mason’s safety, and so, I casually asked…”

“Really?” Sean replied coldly. “At the city gate earlier, wasn’t it you, General Lyons, who personally said that the fate of the Black Rhino Tiger was in the hands of Lilies Archer?”

“So…” Sean continued, “I’m going to seek an antidote from her!”

Hearing this, both Maclean Lyons and the old man were taken aback. Their faces simultaneously revealed a skeptical, “I’ll believe your ghost stories” expression, yet they responded, “So that’s how it is…”

“Is there anything else, General Lyons?” Sean was growing impatient.

In a hurry, Maclean Lyons replied, “While General Mason was away, we, along with the Crown Prince, devised a plan to quell the unrest at Fort South. We hope that General Mason will consider it.”

Sean was the General of the South, the leading commander. Moreover, the main target of this plot was Sean himself, and naturally, his consent was required. If Sean refused to go along, what then?NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

This was also the reason why Ashby had sent Maclean Lyons and the old man to find Sean immediately.

“Good,” Sean responded, “General Lyons, wait a moment.”

While Sean was speaking with Maclean Lyons, the old man scanned the room with his sharp gaze, immediately noticing the blood-stained uniform hanging on the coat rack. His pupils dilated, especially when he noticed the two corner-exposed military tokens in the pocket of the uniform. The old man and Maclean Lyons exchanged glances and, holding their breath, cautiously approached the blood-stained uniform.

Earlier, Gloydius had called Ashby, informing him that Sean had ventured into the mountains for a secret meeting with Lynx and Cheetah. Hence, the old man wanted to confirm who these two military tokens belonged to.

However, just as the old man was half a meter away from the blood-stained uniform, about to touch the two tokens, Sean’s icy voice suddenly reverberated from the bathroom, “Stop! Dare touch my things! Looking for death?”

Almost instantly, as the words fell, the bathroom door was opened, and the room’s air seemed to freeze. A fist materialized from a strong bright energy, like a shocking thunderbolt, directly smashed towards the old man.

In an instant, the old man’s face dramatically changed, his hairs stood on end, and a chill ran up his spine from his feet. It was too late to dodge, so he instinctively urged dark energy to block. Alas, his hastily summoned dark energy was no match for Sean’s bright energy.

With a loud bang, the old man was directly blown away by the fist, flying three meters away before hitting the wall behind him, and then bouncing back. He fell flat onto the hard ground, coughing up a mouthful of blood. It was an utterly pitiful sight.

“General Mason! This…” Maclean Lyons was startled, hastily saying, “He was just driven by curiosity and accidentally offended General Mason. I hope General Mason can be magnanimous and overlook this.”

“After all,” Maclean Lyons added, “He is also a member of the Crown Prince’s circle. If we cause a rift, it might be difficult to explain to the Crown Prince.”

Maclean Lyons brought up Ashby. Sean, of course, didn’t take Ashby seriously. However, he needed this old man to relay information to Ashby. Otherwise, the punch could have killed the old man instantly.

“It was my impulsive action!” the old man coughed out a few mouthfuls of blood at Sean’s feet. “I have offended General Mason. Please forgive me…”

The old man had been in the capital city when Sean had killed Fergus Archer. He had narrowly escaped death then and the fear of Sean was deep in his bones. Of course, he dared not be defiant. His life was at stake.

“Get out!” Sean yelled. “Go back and tell Ashby that his head is mine! I have decided it!”

The old man, as if pardoned, staggered to his feet and began to walk away. It was at the moment he stood up that he suddenly noticed, Sean’s punch had not only injured him but also shattered the coat rack and the blood-stained uniform nearby! The two military tokens that were in the pocket of the blood-stained uniform had fallen onto the floor! Just right, they were facing upward! In his panic, the old man merely glanced at the tokens and instantly recognized the conspicuous symbols on them. As expected, it was those two bastards! Fearing that Sean would notice, the old man didn’t dare to look closely. He dashed out of Sean’s room and fled in a panic.

“Fool!” Sean muttered under his breath as he watched the old man’s retreating figure. He then bent down to pick up the two military tokens and released bright energy to envelop the entire room, preventing outsiders from spying or eavesdropping.

“General Mason is wise!” Maclean Lyons could naturally tell that Sean had done this intentionally, letting the old man “accidentally” see, to personally inform Ashby and thus gain Ashby’s trust.

Afterward, Maclean Lyons explained, “At the city gate this evening, I too was trying to gain Ashby’s trust. That’s why I deliberately provoked General Mason and conflicted with him… Please forgive me, General Mason!”

This point, Sean had already guessed when he learned of Maclean Lyons’ real position from Lilies Archer.

So, Sean shook his head and said, “No harm done.”

“Thank you, General Mason!” Maclean Lyons asked, “Gloydius and the others should have already spoken to General Mason about the details of this plan, right?”

“Yes,” Sean replied, “Proceed with your plan.”

“Great!” Maclean Lyons stayed in Sean’s room for about ten minutes before excusing himself to leave. When he returned to Ashby, the old man had already relayed all he had seen and heard to Ashby. Coupled with Gloydius’s phone call and the two military tokens, Ashby indeed saw Lynx and Cheetah, the two tiger generals who sincerely wanted to cooperate with him, as traitors.

“General Lyons!” Ashby ordered with a cold face when Maclean Lyons returned. “During the negotiation later, follow my command and wipe out those two traitorous dogs who are ripping me off from the inside out, along with their twenty thousand savage troops. Not one should be left alive!”

In his icy voice, there was an unmistakable rage. “I obey!” Maclean Lyons bowed to take the order, but he couldn’t help but mock in his heart: Damn, with such intelligence, he can be a crown prince? Want to inherit the throne? Want to be the Padishah? Damn! It’s so unfair. Even I could do a better job than him!
