“Please have a seat, everyone!” The woman named Presley Richmond stood up.
As she spoke, she nced at Billy and hispanions, a hint of curiosity shing in her eyes.
As the shop owner’s wife, she interacted with all kinds of people on a daily basis, honing her ability to read people.
At first sight of Billy and Harleen, she knew they were no ordinary people.
“Thank you, madam!” Harleen responded with a smile.
“You all look unfamiliar, are you not from Royal City?” Presley Richmond asked after pouring them tea.
“With so many people in Royal City, you can’t have met everyone, right? How do you know we’re not from Royal City?” Stout interjected.
“You’re joking, young man. Of course, I haven’t met everyone,” Presley Richmond smiled.
“But, I’ve been in Royal City for quite some time, and people with your grace are notmon here.”
“If you’re from Royal City, I should have heard something about you,” she continued.
“Madam, you tter us!” Harleen smiled as well. “We have indeed arrived in the royal city not long ago.”
“Indeed!” Presley Richmond smiled again. “So, may I ask what brings the three of you to visit my humble abode and inquire about my husband?”
“Is Mr Cahan not in the store?” Billy asked.
“He’s out on a quick errand, but he should be back soon,” Presley Richmond responded. “If you have any business, feel free to speak your mind.”
“Madam, you alsoe from Pr Domain?” Billy asked abruptly after taking a sip of tea.
“Huh?” Presley Richmond paused slightly upon hearing this question. “Are you all from the Pr Domain?” she inquired.
The fact that both she and Zak Cahan hailed from the Pr Domain was no secret, as many in Royal City were aware of it.
So she wasn’t surprised that Billy knew her background; she simply inferred that the three were likely from the Pr Domain based on Billy’s words.
“Indeed!” Billy confirmed.
“No wonder!” Presley Richmond looked relieved.
After a brief pause, she inquired, “What brings you three to seek out Zak Cahan?”
“We have a few things to ask Mr Cahan about,” Billy exined.
“What matters?” Presley Richmond inquired.
“Presley, I heard someone’s looking for me?”
At this moment, a male voice sounded outside.
Following the voice was a man in his forties walking in, revealed to be none other than Zak Cahan, also known as cksmith Cahan, apanied by an elderly man in gray robes.
“You’re back!” Presley Richmond greeted him with a smile as she got up.
Billy and hispanions also stood up, turning to the door.
Billy discreetly assessed the martial arts prowess of the two individuals, his gaze narrowing slightly.
Zak Cahan should be at half-step Divine Realm, but Billy sensed that he might be concealing his true strength through some means.
The elderly man in gray robes, on the other hand, was a seventh-rank Saint, not particrly remarkable.
“What can I do for you three?” Zak Cahan asked after sizing up Billy and hispanions.
As he spoke, a hint of surprise shed in his eyes, clearly taken aback by Billy and Harleen’s aura.
“Huh?” Almost simultaneously, the elderly man behind Zak Cahan disyed a look of astonishment.
After a momentary pause, still looking astonished, he asked, “May I ask if you are from the Pr Domain?”
“How did you know? Do you know us?” Stout queried, slightly bewildered.
“Is it true?” the elderly man eximed once more.
He then turned to Billy and asked, “May I inquire if your surname is Stuart?”
“How did you know that?” Stout was astonished once again.
“Brogan Cahan, greetings to Lord Dragon!” Upon hearing Stout’s words, the elderly man bowed deeply to Billy.
“Huh?” Surprised by the title, Zak Cahan and his wife also showed astonishment.
“Do you know me?” Billy asked, puzzled.
“Do you remember the battle in Mysthaven City, Lord Dragon?” Brogan Cahan asked in return.
“Are you from the Cahan family in Ironstone City in the Central Part?” Putting the pieces together, Billy figured out the man’s background.
Previously, in the Central Part, Mysthaven City’s Lord Reit lured many powerful individuals from the Central Part to ck Phoenix City with an unverified rumor, intending to seize their cultivation. However, Billy and his team arrived in time to save them, including members of the Cahan family in Ironstone City.
Later, in gratitude, Osian Cahan brought a group of his family members to assist the Skydragon City forces in attacking Mysthaven City.
“That’s right!” Brogan Cahan nodded. “I went to Mysthaven City with Mr Cahan before but did not converse with Lord Dragon.”
“Soon after the battle, I was entrusted by Mr Cahan toe to the Forbidden Ruins Space, and unexpectedly encountered Lord Dragon here!”
“I see,” Billy nodded.
“Elder Brogan, is this Lord Dragon from vale?” Zak Cahan inquired, turning to Brogan Cahan.
“In response to the young master, yes!” Brogan Cahan nodded vigorously.
“Young master?” Hearing this title, Stout looked surprised as he gazed at Zak Cahan. “cksmith Cahan, are nyou ot Mr Cahan’s son?”
“Yes!” Zak Cahan affirmed.
He then turned to Billy and bowed deeply.
“Zak Cahan pays respects to Lord Dragon and thanks Lord Dragon for saving my father and family!”
Evidently, he had learned about the recent events in ck Phoenix City from Brogan Cahan.
“cksmith Cahan, you’re too kind!” Billy was equally surprised by the serendipitous revtion.
“Forgive us for intruding without invitation,” he added.N?velDrama.Org holds this content.
“Lord Dragon, you are an esteemed guest!” Presley Richmond chimed in. “Please, have a seat and let’s chat!”
The group then resumed their seats.
Zak Cahan began by introducing himself to Billy and hispanions.
Zak Cahan was a rare genius in the Cahan family for hundreds of years, not only excelling in martial arts but also mastering the family’s forging techniques at a young age, second only to the Elder Osian in skill.
However, Zak Cahan was somewhat rebellious in his youth, leading to a strained rtionship with the Elder Osian. The situation worsened after his mother’s passing, driving a wedge between father and son.
Ten years ago, a mistake made in a fit of anger led to Zak Cahan’s expulsion from the family by his father.
In response, he ventured into the Forbidden Ruins Space with his beloved, where he established himself in Tengamine Kingdom with his superb forging skills. Nearly half of Tengamine Kingdom’s military weapons came from cksmith Cahan’s shop.
With age came understanding, Zak Cahan grew remorseful for his past actions and the rift between him and his father. However, he knew he could never return to Ironstone City.
“Lord Dragon, did youe to the Forbidden Ruins Space for Old Stuart and Lord Stuart?” Zak Cahan inquired, having heard of the two prominent figures in Skydragon City before arriving in the Forbidden Ruins Space.
Billy nodded. “Mr Cahan, do you happen to know the whereabouts of my father and grandfather?”
