The Legendary Man

Chapter 934

Chapter 934 Threat

Concurrently, at Edenic Heights, Zidane and Sirius were drinking tea with Lauryn in No. 8 Villa.

“There's no way the other families will stay silent after our family donated one point five million kilograms of broken spirit stones to aid Asura's Office,” stated Lauryn with worry after serving the two coffee.

“They've already made their move,” said Zidane while holding a fan. “On our way here, both of us were ambushed. Based on their attack style, they're either from the Salladay or Osborne family.”

“Are you two all right?” Lauryn asked.

“What can possibly happen with Uncle Sirius around?” Zidane chuckled. “The broken spirit stones weren't their goal. Their objective was to prevent the development of Asura's Office, which was why they didn't intend to fight us to the death. As long as they don't give it their all, they won't defeat us.”

Upon hearing that, Lauryn smiled resignedly.

The Blackwood family owned twenty percent of all the spirit stone mines in Chanaea.

Hence, unless their adversaries were hellbent on destroying them, they could keep fighting by using the spirit stones they own to restore their spiritual energy.

Lauryn turned to Sirius curiously. “Why have you been staying at home, Uncle Sirius? Who's been taking care of the external matters?”

After putting his cup down, Sirius stared at her with a tinge of heartache.

Women born to the respectable families had rather tragic fates.

Lauryn was sent to Spirit Sword Sect when she was just a girl to cultivate and successfully became a Grandmaster Realm cultivator through her hard work and talent.

However, it was all pointless because only a cultivator on the level of God Realm and above would be helpful in a battle between the respectable families.

Hence, being a Grandmaster Realm cultivator was only akin to having a lovely resume for her.

When she returned from Spirit Sword Sect, she was supposed to marry a descendant of the Osborne family.

While she did escape the arranged marriage, she was kept in Edenic Heights by Jonathan as a hostage.

It was why Sirius felt sorry for her. “Due to Jonathan, the family is making some adjustments. Jonathan and I have a history, so I'm temporarily barred from leaving and am solely tasked to interface with Asura's Office. There's no need for you to worry, Lauryn. Now that the broken spirit stones have been delivered, your value as a hostage will depreciate. When the time comes, I'll bring you home—”

Before he could finish his sentence, a hoarse voice interrupted, “Mr. Sirius!”

They turned around and saw Zachary.

Promptly, Zidane and Lauryn stood before bowing at Zachary. “Greetings, King of War!”

“Are you satisfied with Edenic Heights' hospitality, Mr. Zidane, Ms. Lauryn?” asked Zachary.

“We're all on the same side, so there's nothing to be picky about.” Zidane smiled. “This is my second visit to Edenic Heights, but I've yet to admire the view. If it's convenient, I'd like to take a stroll outside.”

“Certainly. I'll ask someone to accompany you right away—”

“That's not necessary.” Zidane glanced at Lauryn. “It's been a while since my sister arrived at Edenic Heights, so I want her to be my guide. We have many things to speak about.”

“That sounds good, too.” In response, Zachary took half a step away from the entrance and nodded at the siblings.

After the duo left, he greeted Sirius. “Your family members are impressive, Mr. Sirius.”

Zidane could tell Zachary was there to discuss something with Sirius, so he asked to take a walk with his sister.
