Chapter 2089 Before The Disturbance (Part Two) (2/2)

”Puff!”

As he stepped out of the transmission array, the old man hunched over and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

”Father!”

”Grandpa!”

Apollo and Kenneth ran towards him, holding him up.

”Leave me. I'm fine.” The old man waved them off. ”Ned has ten metal meridians. If I didn't pretend I had that many too, he wouldn't have let us go so easily.”

The truth had come out. The old man was not at the level of a grade-nine Fate Character and ten metal meridians. Instead, he had used a skill to forcefully display the aura of ten metal meridians so that the members from the Yan Clan would fear him and let them go.

If Ned had insisted on taking Darren, the old man would have not been able to protect him.

”Thank you, sir,”

Darren said. Of course, he had already understood the old man's plan.

”Don't be so formal with me, Alex. From this moment on, I want you and Kenneth to stay in our clan. I think the Yan Clan will be watching you. And who knows what else may happen,”

the old man said, looking up at the sky with a worried expression on his face. Then, he sighed. ”I'm afraid a disturbance is going to happen.”

Something felt off to him. The royal family had lost so many princes, but they weren't looking for revenge. The peace was eerie.
