Chapter 884 Never Intended To Stay


    After much deliberation, Alexander finally decided to take Emrys as his apprentice. That was a stroke


    of immense fortune, something most people would be overwhelmingly grateful for, let alone dare to


    refuse!


    However, not only did Emrys reject Alexander, but he also did so in front of the three Sword Sect


    leaders. That was a direct affront to Alexander’s dignity..


    How could Alexander possibly not be angry?


    It was fortunate that Emrys had spoken those words earlier, asking if Alexander would really make


    things difficult for a younger generation like him. Only then did Alexander find it hard to lose his temper.


    Ruben was unsure whether Emrys had deliberately made such a statement or if thetter had just


    happened to stumble upon a glimmer of hope.


    He’s too young! Oh well. What’s happened has happened. There’s nothing that can be done about that


    now. All Ruben could do was sigh in helpless resignation.


    The two of them arrived at the ce where the paling Peter had been treated for his injuries.


    The elder of Soul Sword Sect, who was in charge of his treatment, Ss, said, “Though his elixir field is


    in a terrible state, fortunately, he is tough as nails, which offset some of the damage. Thus, his


    foundation wasn’tpletely destroyed. Repairing his elder shouldn’t be a major issue.”


    “That’s good then. “Only then did Ruben breathe a sigh of relief, his serious expression finally easing.


    If his prodigious son truly ended up ruined, he would likely be driven to the brink of madness.


    up


    “You good–for–nothing! I told you to keep your nose clean, but you just had to stir trouble. Consider this


    a lesson learned. You might not be so lucky next time!” After finding out that Peter was unharmed,


    Ruben gave him an earful.


    Peter retorted indignantly, “It was Killian who provoked me first. I couldn’t possibly just shrink back like


    a scared turtle, not even letting out a peep, could I?”


    “Hey, you jerk, you think you’re in the right, don’t you? Don’t you realize Killian


    1/2


    deliberately provoked you into a fight? His sole intention was to destroy your elixir field. If it weren’t for


    my timely intervention, you’d be a cripple by now!” Ruben said furiously.


    “I just can’t stand Killian’s arrogant attitude. If he dares to provoke me again, I will…” Upon seeing


    Ruben’s expression, which suggested he was on the verge of losing control, Peter quickly changed his


    tone, although he still felt somewhat unconvinced deep down. “Fine, next time I see him. I’ll act a bit


    more submissive, okay?”


    With a grand wave of his hand, Ruben dered, “There won’t be a next time. Killian has been turned to


    ashes. If you wish to face him again, you’ll have to wait until your next life.”


    “Dad, how could you have killed him?” Peter’s eyes widened, abruptly sitting up from the bed.


    Ruben nced at Emrys, his expressionplex as he said, “I’m not the one who killed him.”


    Following Ruben’s gaze, Peter’s eyes widened in astonishment. He eximed incredulously, “Tigger,


    did you really take him down? How could that be possible?” Although Emrys was the inheritor to SwordN?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    King, his level of skill was so low. How could he possibly have killed Killian? Even I was no match for


    Killian.


    Emrys chuckled lightly and said, “I was avenging you.”


    So it’s true! Peter knew they had no reason to deceive him about such matters. With a mix of


    excitement and regret, he said, “Haha, I’ve had it in for that Killian for a long time. Serves him right! It’s


    just a shame that I didn’t get to witness such a spectacr scene with my own eyes.”


    Ruben pped him and said, “Who do you think you’re fooling with your act? You really have no


    manners!”


    Peter backed down.


    After visiting Peter, Ruben said, “Mr. Griffins, if you find the courtyard I arranged for you previously


    comfortable, feel free to continue living there in the future!”


    “No, I never intended to stay here for long in the first ce. I’ll be leaving soon.” Emrys had so much to


    do beyond Mount Kushburn.


    It was impossible for him to stay at Soul Sword Sect for an extended period of time.


    If he truly wanted to stay, it would have been better for him to remain at Crimson Sun Sect or Cloudmist


    Academy. In his leisure time, he could even flirt with thedies.
