Wolves, Maces, And Blood

Chapter 128 The Real Reason Sean Retired

The elder Campbell did not look back, but he seemed to have eyes in his back and could see Sean’s

surprised expression. He reached for a cup of hot tea and explained with a smile, “You don’t have to

panic.”

“You should know that there are two Masters of Complete Stage in Dark Energy in my Campbell family.

One is me, who is responsible for guarding the ancestral home.”

“And the other one, he is far away in the Capital City, and he has an important position.”

“I can’t tell you exactly what the position is, but what I can tell you is that he had enough access to

know what he knew about you…”

“Including the Bloody Wolf Group!”

At this point, the elder Campbell put down the teapot and stood up. With his left hand on his chest, he

gave Sean a Buddhist salute and said, “Please have a seat.”

“Thank you for your honest answer.”

Sean had an Epiphany. It seems that another Campbell family predecessor of Complete Stage in Dark

Energy should have a very high position in the Capital City. Otherwise, how could he know something

so secret?

They had enough access to Sean’s identity, but Sean didn’t have access to their identity. Therefore,

since the elder Campbell family did not say, he naturally did not ask more questions.

Sean sat down on a stone bench opposite the elder Campbell. The Campbell family’s predecessor

pushed one of the cups of hot tea to him and said, “To tell you the truth, we are the only Campbell

members of the Complete Stage in Dark Energy who know who you are.”

“The reason why we asked Zackary to protect you and help you is related to your status as General

Wolf of the North and your great potential as a Master of Complete Stage in Dark Energy.”

“I hope you are aware of this.”

To put it bluntly, the Campbell family didn’t go out of their way to help you for fun, and it wasn’t just to

repay you for saving Charles Campbell’s life. What was more, they actually saw you as a person of

extraordinary status, outstanding strength, and young, and when you grew up in the future, you would

be a powerful big shot.

In time, it might be your turn to return the favor and help the Campbell family.

Sean knew all this, even if the Campbell predecessor didn’t say it. He was not a fool. And he knew that

there was no such thing as hatred or love without any reason or cause.

And there was no free lunch!

However, the Campbell family predecessor was worthy of the centenarian. He was open-minded and

he made no secret of the unpleasantness of the remark.

Sean nodded and said, “I got it.”

“Rest assured. Whether there is a favor or a grudge, I will repay. This is my motto, and also the way I

conduct myself.”

“Those who bullied me will be punished!”

“Those who helped me will be repaid!”

In the face of the candor of the elder Campbell, Sean had nothing to hide and everything was for real.

“That’s great.”

The elder Campbell smiled and said, “Enjoy your tea, please.”

“Thank you.”

Sean took a sip of hot tea from the stone table, put it down, looked up, and asked, “Before I came here,

I heard from Mr. Campbell that you were very familiar with York Rodriguez’s swordsmanship routine

and would like to give me some advice.”

“I’d be grateful if you could.”

Although Sean was sure to beat York Rodriguez, he would be willing to win more easily if he could

know his enemy and understand York Rodriguez’s weaknesses in advance.

“Oh, no, no.”

The elder Campbell, however, smiled and shook his head, “I brought you here to talk about something

else actually.”

“Oh?”

Sean was stunned, “And what’s that?”

The elder Campbell said, “Your identity as General Wolf of the North may be secret, but there are a few

people in the Capital City who have access to it. The other day, at the Rodriguez family villa, the old

monster who attacked you, his master, is one of them.”

“You have a guess, I suppose, as to his identity?”

What happened at the Rodriguez family’s villa was a big deal. And it seemed that After Zackary

Campbell came back, he had told the elder Campbell immediately.

Sean nodded and said, “Yes.”

The elder Campbell didn’t ask who he was, and apparently, he had the answer. So, he went on, “Do

you know why that person sent a Master of Complete Stage in Dark Energy to sneak up on you in the

Rodriguez family?”

“Do you know?”

This time, Sean wasn’t so crisp.

The elder Campbell nodded, shook his head again and smiled, “Yes, and not.”

“What do you mean?”

Sean frowned. He thought a little tired of chatting with the old monk over tea because he always put on

an air of inscrutability.

The elder Campbell explained, “I had an answer in mind, so I said yes.”

“But you also have an answer, and the truth is the third answer. If these three are consistent, then yes, I

know who he is. If my answer and your answer do not agree with the truth, then what we know is false

knowledge, so we don’t know who he is.”

His words were like tongue twisters.

But it sounded like it made sense...

“So?”

Sean rolled his eyes.

The elder Campbell said, “I want to know if your answer is the same as mine.”

Sean asked, “What if it is? What if it’s not?”

The elder Campbell said with a smile, “Your answer, as the client, is closer to the truth, and if I want to

know the truth, I can only hope you’ll be honest.”

Fuck!

All he meant was that, “I got it, but I’m not sure if it’s right, so could you please tell me you answer?

Let’s check our answers!”

This related to the real reason why Sean retired, which Sean was not going to divulge. So, he said, “I

want to know what your answer is first.”

“In that case, I’ll say it first. If there is something wrong, please correct it.”

The elder of the Campbell family was unflinching. He said directly, “In my opinion, the person sent the

Master of Complete Stage in Dark Energy to assist the Rodriguez family in killing you, but their

intention was not to actually kill you.”

“Killing is only the means, but the purpose, is to push you into a corner, in the life and death, let you

show your cards, reveal you full strength.”

“Temptation!”

Sean’s heart twitched at the words. It was exactly as he guessed.

The elder Campbell continued, “You are a young man with great achievements and a promising future,

but you suddenly chose to retire and left gracefully. Obviously, some people are suspicious and

uneasy.”

“They are also suspicious of you, in order to remove the doubts in the heart, they can only come to the

test.”

“I wonder if my answer is wrong?”

Then the Campbell elder looked at Sean. There was still a kind smile on his wrinkled face, and his

deep eyes still had an inscrutable air.

Sean said calmly, “I’ve always been an honest man. Why should I be suspicious?”

“Well…”

Said the elder Campbell suddenly, “Your talent and power made you the target of others.”

“In just five years, at the age of 26, you have reached the Complete Stage in Dark Energy, which is

beyond the reach of ordinary people in their whole life. You fought and won, earning yourself the title of

General Wolf of the North.”

“This is your blessing.”

“However, happiness is the source of misfortune. You’re too good, you have too much potential, and

you might threaten someone’s position, so you have to retire.”

“Even if you retired, someone’s heart was still troubled.”

The elder Campbell family spoke in a leisurely and well-grounded manner. This was obviously not pure

speculation, but he had learned a lot about Sean from the top Campbell in the Capital City.

Sean turned a little solemn and shook his head, “I’m not sure what you mean.”

“Well.”

The elder Campbell smiled and said, “Well, let me make it a little clearer.”

“Earlier in the villa of the Rodriguez Family, when you faced the old monster and could have easily

won, but in order to hide your strength, unexpectedly, the old monster hit you in the left shoulder.”

“Seriously wounded, you were forced to hit a Phantom Punch. And Phantom Punch is definitely not for

Master of Dark Energy.”

“Even Master of Complete Stage in Dark Energy!”

At this point, the Campbell family’s elder finally stopped smiling. He looked up, looked Sean in the eye,

and asked, “So, your real strength now is that you have half a foot out of the Dark Energy, into the

legendary Bright World!”

“Right?”

Hearing this, Sean’s pupils darted and there was even a killing flash in his eyes!
