Chapter 266: The Origin of the Trigger

Hearing Vivian’s response, the Hayes family experts frowned as one of them continued to pursue the matter. “Don’t you even have a clue as to the origin of this person who killed Kevin?”

The other two old men also had this same question in their minds. Even if someone tried to hide, there would always be something left behind, even if it was something small, almost insignificant.

Therefore, these elders of the Hayes family did not believe that Vivian had no clue as to who was responsible for the death of the young master of the Chambers family. ‘To invade a noble family base, the power behind that person must be very significant!’ The three thought about it.

And if that were the case, there weren’t many organizations that could do that and remain hidden. Therefore, these old men thought they could identify this power with more information that Vivian could give them…

On the other hand, the other person there, who had saved Vivian a few moments ago, Garrick, was also interested in the matter. His daughter urgently needed resources like the Spring of Life to survive, so if he knew what power obtained this item, he would do anything to try to get it.

Previously, he only found out about this item after news of Kevin’s purchase of it leaked. And as the Chambers had already purchased this item, it would be nearly impossible for him to obtain it.

The Chambers, despite not part of the elite of the Cromwell Kingdom’s noble families, had many contacts throughout the northern part of the Central Continent.

Dangerous contacts, by the way.

Because of that, there weren’t many willing to challenge them, including Grace’s father’s little noble family and even the Hayes.

But if that item were in the hands of another organization, even if the chances of a deal were slim, Garrick was willing to give it a try!

Anyway, seeing the reaction of the four elderly men in front of her, Vivian couldn’t help but sigh when she finally spoke again. “Do you remember the young man who was a finalist in the Spiritual Tournament and who also defeated my brother?”

“Yes.” The three elders of the Hayes family responded at once, already with strange expressions on their faces. And the strongest of them then stopped Vivian from continuing to speak, asking the obvious. “Don’t tell me that person attacked that place?”

Vivian shook her head horizontally and then continued. “No! I said I didn’t know the person responsible for Kevin’s death. But the point is, the person responsible for what happened at that Chambers base used techniques similar to that Minos.”

“Oh? Maybe they are members of the same organization!” Another elder said with interest, still watching Vivian closely.

“I think the same too.” She agreed. There was no other explanation for her. Even if Minos hadn’t gone to the Flaming Empire, given his cultivation, it would have been impossible for him to increase in strength so quickly…

So, she hadn’t even considered this absurd possibility!

Finally, Garrick asked his question. “Was there something else that caught your attention?”

“Hmm, yes. There was a spiritual beast from the 6th stage of cultivation following him!” She said this quickly, tremendously shocking these four old men.

Such a thing did not happen very often in the north of the Central Continent!

The Hayes family itself had no spiritual beasts on this level. But could the power behind that person dispatch even such a creature? Unbelievable!

“Is this… Is this really true? What was the cultivation level of this beast?”

“Level 50, but she was already halfway to the next level.”

Hearing this, the three of them stood there for a moment as they considered the possibilities. “There’s no way a beast like that can grow from level 49 to more than half of level 50 in a short time. She definitely didn’t reach that level during an escorted trip!”

That was not that unusual to occur as had happened with Leroy and Jeff. Because of this, Spiritual Kings could sometimes be seen working as bodyguards for young nobles due to these individuals have reached the 6th stage of cultivation during their services.

So, even if they had already become specialists in this part of the continent, individuals in Jeff’s condition could not simply abandon their duties. They had to continue serving as bodyguards until he and his ‘boss’ returned to the family headquarters behind them.

Only then would a subordinate’s status improve, and he would stop doing this type of service.

Consequently, these four old men had taken this possibility into account.

The old man of level 55 then looked up at the sky for a moment and uttered in a low voice. “The person you met must be critical in this organization. So, if you have the opportunity to meet him again, try to get closer to that person. Our family can gain a lot from it!”

“True, little Vivian. When we find powers like this, we have to take every opportunity we have to forge a relationship, even if it’s just business…”

After that, Vivian and that group of Spiritual Kings talked for a few more moments about how to behave with an unknown organization. They had also gone into some superficial details of the Minos fight, trying to find out more about this incident.

However, there were many questions but few answers about the invasion of that base, which had resulted in Kevin’s death.

After that, Vivian asked the old Garrick to take her to see Grace, who had motivated her to go through everything that had happened in the last few weeks.

‘First, I’ll save Grace’s life. Then I’ll see what I can do… But I swear, one day I’ll avenge your death, Samuel!’ Vivian swore it in her mind as she walked away from that place where she was before, looking at the crater that her bodyguard’s sacrifice had formed.

While Roy fled from the region where he had previously attacked, at the base that Minos had attacked, the reinforcements sent by the Chambers family’s headquarters had already arrived in this location. But not only that, the two other Spiritual Kings who had arrived at this place along with Roy had also returned.

As much as they’d agreed to return after seven days, Chase and Chad hadn’t had any luck in their respective searches, so they’d returned early.

Anyway, at this moment, in Jamie’s old room, five people were in that place talking. Of these people, three were sitting on a large sofa, while another two people were standing in front of these individuals.

Of those five, four were men, and one was a woman. Everyone was in the 6th stage of cultivation, with the weakest being at level 52 and the strongest at level 54.

Finally, at that moment, Chad, the leader of the team sent to this place previously, sighed heavily at the news about Kevin’s death. “What a pity. So, the young master really died…”

“No wonder we couldn’t find any traces of him… Others left even marks, but not the young Kevin.” The effeminate man, Chase, commented right away.

And after saying that, the woman sitting in the middle of the other two men looked at them dubiously for a moment. Then, she asked. “Where’s Roy?”

Chad then responded promptly. “Originally, we arranged to meet here in 7 days, but as we said in our report, Chase and I had no luck. So, maybe that muscular guy got something.”

“Oh? All right, this is good. But for now, let’s expand the searches…” Finally, they continued to talk about how to act on this incident.

There weren’t many clues left by Kevin’s other pursuers, who had been more careful than Vivian in their escapes.

Consequently, if they wanted to capture these individuals, these Spiritual Kings would have to do much more thorough and, therefore, time-consuming investigative work.

As things developed for the Hayes and Chambers families, hours had passed. By now, the sun was already rising over the horizon of the City of Waters.

Minos had spent a pleasant night with those three women and slept peacefully in this city’s government mansion.

Many things had happened that night when he had this unique experience of sleeping with those three beautiful women, who took turns to be satisfied simultaneously with him.

And at this moment, as the first light rays of the day began to penetrate Mirya’s room, Minos was already awake, with a lush smile on his lips.

He felt a gratifying sensation deep in his being when he had awakened and felt the three beauties that were enveloping him. “What a great manner to start the day!” He muttered under his breath, watching the situation calmly.
