CHAPTER 1709: CHAPTER 1709: DOES THAT MATTER?

Shush! Shush! Shush! Shush! Shush!

...

When the guard in Anderson Hudson’s hands pointed at Trevor Baillie and said that Trevor Baillie killed Casey Hudson, everyone’s gaze, including Anderson Hudson’s, fell on Trevor Baillie.

"He killed Casey Hudson?"

"Impossible! As far as I know, Trevor Baillie is just a martial artist in the early Little Saint Realm, and he only broke through three months ago... Let alone he would breakthrough to the mid-Little Saint Realm now, even if he could, he wouldn’t be a match for Casey Hudson."

"Yeah, Casey Hudson broke through to the mid-Little Saint Realm several years ago, and he’s not far from the late Little Saint Realm... Say Trevor Baillie killed Casey Hudson, whether you believe it or not, I don’t believe it."

"It doesn’t make sense... Even if Trevor Baillie had the power to kill Casey Hudson, he was locked up in the prison, taking Sealing Origin Pills every so often. He couldn’t mobilize the True Origin within him, let alone kill Casey Hudson."

"Sealing Origin Pill? Do you think if he really took the Sealing Origin Pill, he would be able to come here with such confidence?"

...

The group of Little Saint Realm individuals present whispered among themselves; they, like Casey Hudson, were ordinary sacrificial officers of the Fletcher Kingdom’s imperial family.

Of course, although they were all ordinary sacrificial officers, normally, they did not dare offend Casey Hudson.

The only reason, Casey Hudson was Anderson Hudson’s biological nephew!

Though there were a few Middle Saint Realm existences in the Fletcher Kingdom’s imperial family, they usually remained aloof, rarely concerning themselves with mundane matters. Because of this, ordinary affairs fell on the shoulders of other sacrificial officers.

And Anderson Hudson, being the first person below the Middle Saint Realm in Fletcher Kingdom, naturally became the ’head’ of the other sacrificial officers. After all, in this world where strength is respected, the strong have absolute say.

Anderson Hudson looked at Trevor Baillie with eyes sharp as knives.

But he only glanced at Trevor Baillie once before turning to the guard in his hand and said sternly, "What’s going on? Tell me everything you know, completely and thoroughly!"

The prison guard, upon hearing this, took a deep breath and nervously told everything he knew.

Upon hearing that Trevor Baillie had taken the Sealing Origin Pill three days ago, not only did the other sacrificial officers of the Fletcher Kingdom’s imperial family, but Anderson Hudson as well turned pale.

Trevor Baillie, who had taken the Sealing Origin Pill three days ago, was now exuberantly appearing before them. Judging by his previous actions, he did not seem at all like someone whose True Origin was sealed by the pill’s power?

"Middle Saint Realm expert!"

At this moment, Anderson Hudson also realized that someone must have helped Trevor Baillie remove the pill’s power from his body, and the only ones who could do that were Middle Saint Realm existences or higher.

Apart from that, he couldn’t think of another possibility.

The Sealing Origin Pill taken by Trevor Baillie was the lowest level one, but this pill could seal the True Origin of even a peak Little Saint Realm, let alone Trevor Baillie, an early Little Saint Realm martial artist.

An early Little Saint Realm martial artist, after taking the lowest level Sealing Origin Pill, would require at least twenty days for the pill’s power to gradually dissipate.

Even a mid-Little Saint Realm martial artist would need at least half a month.

Therefore, let alone Anderson Hudson not believing Trevor Baillie could break through to mid-Little Saint Realm, even taking the worst-case scenario, had Trevor Baillie indeed broken through, he could not appear as unaffected three days after taking the Sealing Origin Pill.

Moreover, besides Trevor Baillie’s Sealing Origin Pill power being removed, his nephew ’Casey Hudson’ was dead too.

If there indeed was a Middle Saint Realm expert helping Trevor Baillie remove the pill power, then killing his nephew along the way would be logical.

Therefore, at this moment, Anderson Hudson anxiously looked around, showing deep apprehension on his face.

Are you kidding!

That’s a Middle Saint Realm expert!

To kill him is as easy as crushing an ant.

Now, a detail he hadn’t considered before started surfacing in his mind.

Like, why would Trevor Baillie dare appear so boldly before them?

If it were him, without someone backing him, he would have left this place at the first chance rather than appearing before people so audaciously and strongly.

Isn’t this seeking death?

Realizing this point, Anderson Hudson inhaled sharply, cold sweat running down his back.

At this moment, he even temporarily forgot about his nephew being killed; with his current worries about himself, where’d he have time to care about others’ life or death.

Thinking that there might be a Middle Saint Realm expert hidden in the shadows, watching him, he couldn’t help but feel anxious.

After hearing the guard’s account, Anderson Hudson could figure this out, so how could the other sacrificial officers not?

In a moment, following Anderson Hudson, they started looking around worriedly too.

Middle Saint Realm expert!

That level of existence could kill Anderson Hudson as easily as turning a hand, let alone them who weren’t even his equal.

"Do you guys think... that Middle Saint Realm expert, could they be the Sect Leader of the Floating Flame Sect, ’Amelia Tyler’?"

Finally, a sacrificial officer of the Fletcher Kingdom’s imperial family spoke softly, breaking the tense silence at the scene.

"Impossible, right? Not long ago, that Amelia Tyler was heavily injured by ’Master Cloud.’ She probably hasn’t even recovered yet. How could she come to our Fletcher Kingdom’s imperial palace again? Moreover, last time Young Master Cloud said, if she dared to return, he wouldn’t mind killing her!"

"Yes, unless she’s not afraid of death, she definitely won’t dare to come again."

"But if it’s not Amelia Tyler, who removed the Sealing Origin Pill’s energy from Trevor Baillie’s body? In our Fletcher Kingdom, the Middle Saint Realm experts can be counted on one hand, and the only one related to him is Amelia Tyler."

"I can’t figure it out either."

...

A group of sacrificial elders from the Fletcher Kingdom’s imperial family were whispering, their voices soft yet clearly reaching Trevor Baillie’s ears.

For a moment, Trevor Baillie’s heart couldn’t help but tremble greatly.

Only now did he remember that the energy of the Sealing Origin Pill in his body had been removed!

Though he had only heard of the Sealing Origin Pill before, he knew it was very difficult to remove.

Additionally, for a sixth-tier power like Fletcher Kingdom’s imperial family, they might possess a higher-grade Sealing Origin Pill, but the one used on him would certainly not be higher-grade because the lowest-grade Sealing Origin Pill could seal the True Origin in his body.

However, even for this lowest-grade Sealing Origin Pill, it would require someone above the Middle Saint Realm to remove it.

"Could it be that my junior brother has a helper behind him?"

Thinking to this point, Trevor Baillie thought to himself.

Wyatt Barnes killing that mid-Little Saint Realm martial artist, while surprising, didn’t shock him much, as he was well aware of his junior brother’s talent.

Over a year later, while it might be difficult for most to progress so quickly, his junior brother couldn’t be judged by common logic.

It’s just that, if Wyatt Barnes broke through to the Middle Saint Realm, he couldn’t even imagine it.

For this reason, he felt that Wyatt Barnes brought a helper with him this time.

In fact, early on when his junior brother let him swagger out, he already had a guess, and now, through the ’reminder’ from the Fletcher Kingdom’s imperial family’s sacrificial elders, he was convinced.

"I don’t know if the helper behind my junior brother can compare to that ’Master Cloud’.

Trevor Baillie thought to himself.

Master Cloud, the esteemed guest of the Fletcher Kingdom’s imperial family, was a peak Middle Saint Realm expert who had recently been residing in Fletcher Kingdom’s imperial palace, treating it as his home.

Of course, Trevor Baillie also knew his purpose in staying in Fletcher Kingdom; lying in wait for his junior brother’s appearance to seize the Demon Sealing Monument from his hands.

Whoosh!!

Suddenly, a fleeting sound of a sword whistle came, startling everyone, including Trevor Baillie.

As everyone gazed intently, they discovered that, at some point, a sacrificial elder of the Fletcher Kingdom’s imperial family was walking away. At this moment, he suddenly stopped, as a blood hole had appeared between his brows.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

...

Instantly, the scene erupted with a gasp of astonishment.

"So fast!"

Among those present, only Anderson Hudson caught a vague glimpse of the fleeting golden sword light. The speed of the sword light was so fast that it made him shudder, as it surpassed the realm of the Little Saint Realm.

Middle Saint Realm expert!

At this moment, Anderson Hudson’s suspicion was confirmed.

At the same time, other sacrificial elders of Fletcher Kingdom’s imperial family looked at each other, but none dared to move, each feeling like their feet were weighed down.

Having learned from past mistakes, they naturally didn’t want to repeat them, lest the hidden expert strike them down too.

"Sir, may I ask, what is your relationship with Trevor Baillie?"

Taking a deep breath, Anderson Hudson cupped his hands toward the void, his tone full of reverence, although questioning, his demeanor was very humble.

"Was it you who brought Trevor Baillie into this wretched Fletcher Kingdom palace?"

Just as Anderson Hudson finished speaking, a slightly hoarse voice, seemingly from all directions, reached his and others’ ears, causing Anderson Hudson’s face to change significantly.

Other sacrificial elders of the Fletcher Kingdom’s imperial family couldn’t help but give Anderson Hudson a sympathetic glance.

Judging by the tone of the hidden expert, they were clearly very dissatisfied with Anderson Hudson’s actions.

"Sir, Anderson Hudson was merely following the orders of His Majesty, the Emperor of Fletcher Kingdom."

Anderson Hudson heard the hidden expert’s displeasure and quickly explained. At this moment, all he could do was stall for time until several Middle Saint Realm experts of Fletcher Kingdom’s imperial family arrived.

Of course, including that powerful and extraordinary ’Master Cloud.’

"Does it matter?"

The voice came again from all directions, hoarse yet indifferent, and this indifference in the voice made Anderson Hudson’s face change dramatically, his True Origin surfacing as he prepared for an impending crisis.
