Sadie deadpanned, “Be serious!”
“I‘m being honest, Ms. Wolfenden.”
Kayson‘s expression was utterly serious. “That‘s what he said. But I didn‘t agree to it immediately. Seth Jackson isn‘t exactly a good man.”
Sadie furrowed her brows. She was not buying what Kayson said at all and assumed that he was reluctant to tell her the truth, so she did not pursue it but asked, “ How did you get acquainted with Mr. Jackson?”
She had gotten a glimpse into the background and influence of the Rivspring Chamber of Commerce when she went out with Sia. Sia did not seem to mind talking to her, so she told her a lot of things— including how the Rivspring Chamber of Commerce was linked to plenty of business tycoons. If outsiders were intending to break into Skyspring, it would be much more convenient with the Rivspring Chamber of Commerce‘s help.
“Oh, I beat his son up,“answered Kayson.
Sadie rubbed between her brows, feeling an impending headache. “Can‘t you be more serious?”
‘Not like you‘ll believe it...Kayson felt speechless and told her instead, “I saved a relative of his before.”
Sadie nodded. See? Much more normal now!‘
“Mr. Jackson has the support of many tycoons. Some of them might be in construction. You ought to talk to him more often,” Sadie told Kayson and added, “There‘ll be a bonus if you do a good job. It‘ll be considered in your performance.”
Kayson‘s eyes sparkled. “Wonderful!”
Both of them returned home smoothly.
On the other side...
Seth, who had just resolved his conflict with Kayson and expressed his mind, heaved a long sigh after the couple left.
Zeke was afraid to face Kayson, so he only approached Seth after Kayson left.
“Mr. Jackson!”
Seth‘s gaze trailed after the voice, and he asked with a smile, “What can I help you with, Mr. Russell?”
Zeke only asked after he went closer, “You and Mr. Yarde
“I hope that you’re able to keep my meeting with Mr. Yarde tonight confidential,” Seth said impassively with a squint.
Zeke‘s heart gave a squeeze before he answered, “No
problem! Don‘t worry about it, Mr. Jackson!”
Seth replied emotionlessly, “I hope you keep your word, Mr. Russell. I‘m not someone great, but if you play me for a fool...
“Even if I have your whole family killed, Eden Joy won‘t possibly seek fault with me just because of you.”
There was a subtle change of expression on Zeke‘s face as he promised solemnly, “Don’t worry, Mr. Jackson. No other person will find out about your meeting with Mr. Yarde tonight!”
He did not doubt Seth‘s influence at all since the latter was the president of the Rivspring Chamber of Commerce . His status was parallel to that of Eden Joy‘s owner in Skyspring.
Seth‘s smile was friendly. “Thank you for hosting tonight, Mr. Russell. I‘ll be sure to host you another day.”
“No worries!” replied Zeke.
Seth and Lex left Moonly Olympus shortly, leaving Zeke in contemplation . The man sighed after some time. He was a higher–up in Eden Joy, but he still lacked in comparison to the core members.
He could guess why Seth was meeting Kayson, and of course, it was unnecessary to let outsiders know about these. Despite that, he had other ideas. If Seth had already begun approaching Kayson, should he do the
same?
Suddenly, he caught sight of Sia, who was nearby, and something clicked. Perhaps he did not have to do much intentionally. Sia was a good link in this case!
While Zeke thought about it, his phone rang suddenly. It was Guardian Cornelius. Surprised, he answered instantly, “Guardian Cornelius!”
“Come to Ginser Tower. There‘s an important meeting.”
“Got it. I‘ll be there as soon as I can!”
Zeke had been under Guardian Coridon, but since Kayson had killed the latter and Guardian Odele was dead as well, he went under Guardian Cornelius.
At Mansion No.18, Zone A, Serene Villa...
Kayson and Sadie went back to their own rooms upon their return. Kayson called Beckham to ask if he could help him find the last tonic herb he was missing for a medicinal bath, and Beckham was already doing his best. It was just that there was no news yet.
Kayson was disappointed, but he could only keep waiting.
The next morning...
When Kayson woke up to soak in some energy at dawn, Gael did the same. Gael‘s Gilded Guard was accomplished through his inner energy‘s steelification, so his need for energy was not exactly significant, but he still needed
some anyway. Absorbing the energy at sunrise was simply beneficial to energy or body practitioners.
As both of them sat on the roof, Kayson asked, “Gael, do you know where there is abundant spirit energy?”
–

Gael shook his head. “I‘m not an energy practitioner and have minimal need for spirit energy, so I haven‘t paid attention in regard to this.
“You practice both energy and body techniques. The way of a body practitioner is easier than an energy practitioner. This is a widely acknowledged fact in the world!
“People say that energy practice turns you into a smasher and is superior to body practitioners, but from what I know, energy practice is deteriorating in general currently
“I‘ve heard the owner say that perhaps the first stage of a smasher is already the limit to energy practice nowadays but not in the case of physical training.”
Kayson asked in surprise, “Is energy enhancement so difficult?”
Gael looked serious. “Yes, sir. It’s tough. Insufficient spirit energy and inadequate manuals are challenges all energy practitioners face.”
“In this case, there‘s no hope for me to become a smasher?” Kayson sighed.
Gael gave it a thought and answered, “It‘s not entirely hopeless since it isn‘t something too hard. But to advance further will be quite impossible.
“I heard that the head of Eternalporium used to be an energy enhancement practitioner but gave up on it later on and switched to physical training.”
Kayson frowned. Even the head of Eternalporium failed to find sufficient spirit energy for his own practice? Were spirit stones so rare in the world? That could not be. His mentor often brought back a few spirit stones whenever he left the village!
When it was about time , Kayson ordered breakfast and returned to the villa. He called Waylon after eating and thanked him before asking about Dickinson International.
Waylon replied with a kind smile, “Kayson, how did you manage to transfer Nigel back?”
“Mr. Jensen has returned to his old position?” Kayson asked in surprise.
Waylon answered, “Someone called last night and made the arrangement through the night. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“Not only that. Gibson‘s misconduct was exposed, and he was sent to jail earlier.”
Kayson was quite astonished. Seth was pretty brutal. Was the man afraid that he was dissatisfied?
Waylon suddenly spoke in a lower tone. “Kayson, there’s something. I wonder if you‘d hear me out?” “Do tell,” Kayson said with a smile.
Waylon sighed. “It‘s better to resolve any conflict than to add more when it comes to Metrocity‘s Cadogans. My favors aren‘t endless, and if you keep getting into conflicts with them...
“I‘m afraid I won‘t be able to keep you safe ultimately, no matter what I do.”
