”Something happened, Dad? I was asleep.” Travis said a little angry, but still afraid of his father.

Ashton was in a hurry and ignored the rude way the son spoke to him, this kind of thing could be solved later. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

”Tell me again, what happened to you during the Annual Event.” Ashton said in a serious tone.

Travis seeing the serious tone that his father was using, quickly adopted a serious posture and began to narrate what had happened. ”I was buying some stuff and heard that an interesting battle was going on in the arena. Then I met with the servants and we went to see what...”

Before Travis could finish telling his story, Ashton interrupted him. ”Skip the useless parts and get to the important point.”

Travis understood more or less, and I still do. ”As we were leaving, I felt all the hair on my body get chilled as an uncontrollable sensation of cold shone over me.”

Hearing this description, Robert nodded his head accordingly, having felt the same way. This reaction did not go unnoticed by Ashton.

Robert felt a chill when he remembered the same feeling a few minutes ago.

Ashton felt that they were exaggerating, it was not possible for a cultivator to achieve this strength without at least centuries of cultivation. And from what Robert had described, this cultivator seemed no more than 30 years old.

”All right, you can go back to sleep.” Ashton said while ordering Travis to leave.

Travis came out of there still trembling a bit, tonight he wouldn't sleep.

”So... what do you suggest? Since you've already faced it.” Ashton asked his old friend.

”Look, for the almost a hundred years of cultivation that I have, these eyes of his probably waste a lot of energy and should put a very heavy load on the body of those who use it. I don't doubt that he will be incapacitated after using a few seconds of this technique unless he has a count level cultivation. But that's impossible, as the number of Counts in our country can be counted on the fingers of a single hand.” Robert said.

”You mean he can't use this technique on all of us...” Ashton said thoughtfully.

”Yes... I can't believe he'd be crazy enough to attack us here, since we'd have some cultivators to keep him busy and if he tried to come straight to me, we'd still have you to catch him while he was weakened by using his eye technique.

”Well, if what you said is true, we can do that. But I'm not gonna risk my family's life for some carelessness. I'm hiring some Golden Fox mercenaries to protect Travis and Tina.” Ashton said with a deep frown.

”Are you sure about this? The price they charge.... as their names say, would be enough to buy a life-size fox-shaped gold sculpture.” Robert said worried.
