Chapter 1909: His Time is Running Out
“To be honest, I came here specifically to visit Old Alfie. There’s something I need to ask him,” Billy responded.
“Mr. Billy, are you also here about the City of the Dead?” Isaac Kaur asked after a brief pause.
“Hmm?” Billy was surprised and looked at Isaac Kaur. “Has someone else already come for this matter?”
“Indeed, before Mr. Billy, someone else did inquire about it,” Isaac Kaur replied.
After a moment, he added, “But Mr. Billy might be disappointed. My father doesn’t know much about the City of the Dead either, except that it might contain many treasures.”
“Master Isaac, does Old Alfie truly not know?” Aarav Lyons asked from the side.
“You all have done a great favor for our Heavenly Secrets Pavilion. If my father knew, he certainly wouldn’t hide it,” Isaac Kaur smiled at Aarav Lyons.
“Master Isaac, is Old Alfie in seclusion?” Azure Dragon asked.
“My father came out of seclusion three days ago,” Isaac Kaur replied with a faint smile.
“However, he enjoys a carefree life, so he went traveling after coming out of seclusion. He’s not in the sect right now; otherwise, he would have shown up earlier.”
“Alright,” Azure Dragon replied.
“I’m sorry to have made Mr. Billy come here for nothing,” Isaac Kaur said, looking at Billy.
“If Mr. Billy isn’t in a hurry, why not stay at the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion for a few days? It would allow me to show some hospitality and repay Mr. Billy for saving my life.”
“Thank you for your kindness, Master Isaac. Since Old Alfie doesn’t know either, we won’t disturb you any further,” Billy said as he stood up.
“We have other matters to attend to, so we’ll take our leave now.”
“Mr. Billy, wait!” Isaac Kaur also stood up.
As he spoke, he took out an animal skin scroll from his storage ring and handed it to Billy.
“Mr. Billy, you’ve done a great favor for our Heavenly Secrets Pavilion. We have nothing to repay you with. If you don’t mind, please accept this set of martial arts techniques as a small token of my gratitude.”
“Martial arts techniques?” Stout’s eyes lit up. “What kind of techniques?”
“This set of techniques is called the Five Elements Sword Array. It was created by the first pavilion master of our Heavenly Secrets Pavilion,” Isaac Kaur said, looking at Billy.
“I noticed that several people around Mr. Billy are skilled with swords. This sword array might be useful.”
Everyone was stunned by his words.
Earlier, Stout was thinking about negotiating to buy this sword array with sovereign-grade spirit stones.
Now, they were getting it for free.
“Master Isaac’s kindness is appreciated. This sword array should be a secret of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion. It’s not appropriate for us to take it. Please take it back,” Billy responded.
“Mr. Billy, you’re overthinking it. It’s not really a secret; it just hasn’t been passed on to outsiders before…” Isaac Kaur replied.
“In that case, I’ll accept it gratefully,” Billy interrupted him and took the sword manual. “Thank you, Master Isaac!”
Azure Dragon and the others couldn’t help but cough lightly.
Since when did the boss learn Stout’s trick?
“Mr. Billy, you’re too kind!” Isaac Kaur said with a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.
“Mr. Billy, since you’ve killed people from the Northern Domain King’s side, it’s best not to stay in the North Domain if you have nothing urgent to do. Otherwise, there might be complications.”
“Thank you for the reminder, Master Isaac!” Billy nodded in response.
After a few more words, Billy and his group took their leave.
Shortly after they left, Isaac Kaur turned and headed towards the back of the manor.
Soon, he arrived at an ancient-looking building and quickly entered a room.
Inside the room, an old man with white hair and a white beard sat cross-legged on a mat, his eyes closed. His breath was uneven, indicating that he was injured.
The old man was none other than Old Alfie, the previous pavilion master of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion!
“Father!” Isaac Kaur bowed in greeting as he approached.
“Has he left?” Old Alfie opened his eyes and asked.
“He has,” Isaac Kaur nodded and continued, “Without your permission, I gave him the Five Elements Sword Array. Please punish me…”
“You did well!” Old Alfie interrupted him. “Such good karma is always welcome!”
He then pointed upwards. “According to my calculations, he will eventually reach great heights. Building a connection with him now will surely pay off in the future!”
“Thank you for not punishing me!” Isaac Kaur nodded and continued, “Father, regarding the City of the Dead, can we let someone else inform him?”
“As long as it’s not from our own mouths, those people shouldn’t go too far, right?”
“Don’t underestimate them!” Old Alfie shook his head.
“Apart from them, very few people in the Great Blue Star Domain know about this matter. If the information leaks out, they will first suspect us.”
“But they have no evidence to prove it was us…” Isaac Kaur replied.
“Do you think they need evidence to act?” Old Alfie glanced at his son.
“I understand!” Isaac Kaur nodded.
“We’ll wait and see for now,” Old Alfie said thoughtfully. “Besides, knowing about the City of the Dead now might not be good for him.”
“Alright!” Isaac Kaur continued, “Father, your injury…”
“It’s nothing serious. A few more days of rest will be enough,” Old Alfie replied. “The other party just wanted to warn me; they were very measured in their actions.”
“Understood!” Isaac Kaur nodded again and changed the subject. “Father, the Northern Domain King won’t let this go easily. What do you think…”
“It doesn’t matter anymore!” Old Alfie waved his hand. “His time is running out!”
“What do you mean?” Isaac Kaur was slightly taken aback.
“The moment Billy set foot in the North Domain, his fate was sealed. This is his destiny; I’ve already calculated it for him-there’s no escape!” Old Alfie explained.
“Do you mean that Mr. Billy will fight the Northern Domain King?” Isaac Kaur was stunned again.
“Don’t forget that Billy not only has something from the City of the Dead but also a Sacred Object!” Old Alfie replied. “If the Northern Domain King knows he’s in the North Domain, how could he remain indifferent?”
“It’s said that the Northern Domain King has already broken through to the fifth-rank Heaven Dao Realm. What about Mr. Billy and his group…” Isaac Kaur asked.
“Don’t underestimate Billy!” Old Alfie interrupted him again.
After thinking for a moment, he continued, “How about this: send a message to Samuel Sparks at Sky Cloud Pavilion in Northern Abyss City and briefly tell them about Billy.”
“What do you mean by that?” Isaac Kaur asked.
“Northern Abyss City has millions of people; it can’t be thrown into chaos!” Old Alfie said with a serious look in his eyes.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“The Sky Cloud Pavilion has been behaving decently these years; consider this an opportunity for them!”
“Whether they can seize it or not is up to them!”
“Understood!” Isaac Kaur nodded again and took out a sound transmission stone.
While they were talking, Billy and his group had already returned to their starship.
“Boss, I feel like Isaac Kaur is hiding something from us!” White Tiger said to Billy.
