128 Secret Auction (1/2)

Inside the private courtyard, Leon continue to circulate his energy and stabilize his 6th step Awakener Realm. After stabilizing his Awakening cultivation, he switched practice to Divine cultivation and elevated his strength to the peak 8th layer of Body Tempering Realm after a short two hours of practice.

Opening his eyes, Leon sighed. Without bottlenecks brought by his stronger body, it was much easier to progress in his cultivation. Once he reaches the peak 9th layer, that is when he will start to pick up on his cultivation speed.

The Body Tempering Realm was just the conditioning period to prep the body for the real energy cultivation. Although he was now cultivating with different energy, he had once reached the Divine Origin Realm.

Bottlenecks of the energy cultivation system was no bottleneck for him with his profound level of control. Only the bottlenecks of the body were hard to overcome due to the lack spirit herbs and high demand for body-forging spirit pills.

”Your highness, since you have killed Marquis Wyatt, the Solaris family will not forget this feud.” Howard reminded after seeing the prince finish his cultivation session.

Leon nodded at the palace guard's words and said, ”Even if there's a feud, they won't be able to do anything to me. But of course, it is better to remove the roots than to let it fester.”

”Send a shadow guard over to me.” He ordered.

Not long after he finished his words however, did a young shadow guard dropped down from above and answered his call.

”You called, your highness?”

Leon nodded and said, ”You came at the right time. I want the record information on the Solaris family. The more detail, the better.”

Leon wagered there was still another three hiding above on the roof.

”Err…” The young shadow guard appeared hesitant.

”What's wrong? You can't take my orders?” Leon asked with knitted brows.

”Answering his highness, the shadow guards only take orders from the King.” The young shadow guard said humbly with a fist-hand salute. He felt several shaking heads when he said this.

”Huh? Then why the fuck did you appear in front of my face?” Leon was displeased and gave the young shadow guard an incredulous look.

'I asked for a shadow guard and you appeared right away without my personal guard having to call any shadow guard over. It's clear you can listen to my orders, but you say you only listen to the orders of my father? Are you purposely trying to pick a fight with me!?' Leon thought and glared at the young shadow guard.

The young shadow guard froze at his words and didn't know how to answer the question.

”My father has been in coma for 17 years. Who have you been taking orders from, if not from my mother? Should I go ask her?” Leon continued with a stern tone.

”Please forgive him, your highness. He just completed his training and still new to the work. I will fetch the related information for you immediately.” The senior shadow guard pleaded on behalf of the young shadow guard.

”Mm, go on.” Leon nodded and waved them off.

The senior shadow guard heaved a sigh of relief, seeing that the prince was unwilling to pursue the matter.

He brought the young shadow guard and reprimanded him, ”Are you stupid? How long has his majesty been in coma? How do you think the shadow guards have been listening to her majesty's orders? Don't you also know her majesty dotes on the prince greatly? His words are as good as her majesty's!”

”Thank you for saving me there, senior. Err… I wasn't thinking straight... hahaha…” The young shadow guard said, before laughing it off awkwardly.

”Don't mind it. Next time, you better put your mind in the right spot.” The senior shadow guard advised.

”Yes, yes, I will try.”

”Don't try. Do it!”

The senior shadow guard smacked his junior on the back of the head.

The young shadow guard rubbed his head and swallowed the small grievance silently. How can his mind not wonder off when all they do is camp the roof all day? It was boring as hell!

Some time later, the senior shadow guard returned to the courtyard.

”Here is all the recorded information on the Solaris family and their activities in the past years, your highness.” The senior shadow guard presented the documents subserviently with both hands.

”Thank you. You can return to your post.” Leon said, before training his gaze on the document, no longer paying attention to anything else. His divine sense seeped out and swept through the document. All the information enters his mind without needing to open the documents.
