CHAPTER 2381: CHAPTER 2279: NOT TAKING ADVICE

As they were speaking, a few of the Family elders, including Mattie Brown, came over.

After the greeting and sitting down, Mattie Brown looked at Peter Brown and said, "Earning the centurion position is far beyond our expectations for the Windsor Family. Even if you do not participate in any further battles now, it would still be fine."

Stone Brown also said, "Indeed, the purpose of our Windsor Family this time was merely to obtain a squad leader position. However, due to your appearance, our family achieved an unprecedented victory. The centurion position is not something everyone can get; you could completely choose not to fight further."

"Is it that I must now enter the Military?" Peter Brown asked.

Mattie Brown said, "Our Windsor Family is a noble family holding honors. Obtaining a position naturally means going to battle."

Pausing for a moment, he continued, "The foreign tribes from the north are attacking our country. His Majesty plans to organize a large army to go and confront them. You all will be arranged to enter the Army, and once there, you will head to the frontline."

Peter Brown said, "If I am just a centurion, and opponents want to casually send me to a dangerous place, what can I do?"

Before this matter arose, the elders naturally had studied it. Mattie Brown sighed and said, "This time, I just wanted to speak about this issue. Among those you killed, some were coming from the Northern Battlefield, and their fathers are all from military families."

Seeing the solemn expressions of the elders, Peter Brown understood in his heart. He had killed the children of the northern military families, so if he goes to the northern battlefield next, wouldn’t their fathers want to deal with him?

Now, Peter Brown really shakes his head at this struggle for the throne initiated by the imperial court. Although it effectively eliminates some children of military and noble families, even cutting down some elites of these families, it also creates conflicts of interest among families, making it harder to maintain friendly relations.

The Emperor is pleased to see this, but for the families below, it becomes a troubling matter.

"Sigh, I wouldn’t have imagined you could come so far. If only we had advised you earlier to avoid killing people if possible."

An elder sighed, shaking his head at how many people Peter Brown had killed.

Yet Peter Brown didn’t pay much attention, smiling as he said, "It’s nothing all that significant. What’s done is done; saying anything now is too late. For me, it’s about striving for a better position."

Looking at Mattie Brown, Peter Brown asked, "What positions do the fathers of those I killed hold?"

"They all hold thousand-man commander positions, one is a ten thousand-man commander."

Peter Brown smiled, "Since that’s the case, I’ll seize a thousand-man commander position too. With a thousand-man commander rank, not just anyone could do anything to me."

"What?"

All eyes turned to Peter Brown with surprise at his declaration to seize a thousand-man commander position. They had never imagined a Windsor Family child could achieve such a rank.

Stone Brown said, "Peter, there are ten people for the thousand-man commander positions, chosen from among your hundred. However, the contest for this position tomorrow will be fiercer, as everyone is strong. We’ve seen it; at least twenty people possess considerable combat strength."

Mattie Brown added, "Peter, having a centurion position is already commendable. If you remain cautious in the Military, you should face no great risks. Struggling for the throne is too dangerous. You’re unaware that the ranks there are filled with more frontline military heirs. They fight to the death and are accustomed to killing, even more ferocious. Since you’ve killed several military family heirs, they definitely harbor revengeful intentions. If they target you, they’ll go all out."

Mattie Brown’s point was clear. If Peter Brown truly contends, impending crisis will be unavoidable.

"Yes, Peter, you are a rare talent for the Windsor Family. Safety first, don’t be impulsive."

The elders all advised Peter Brown.

Listening to their advice, Peter Brown smiled and said, "My stance remains unchanged; if I’m only a centurion, they could assign me to dangerous places on a whim. However, if I become a thousand-man commander, there will be fewer people who can order me around, and I’ll have far less trouble. Most importantly, having a troop of a thousand under my command means no place would truly be dangerous for me."

"Do you really want to contend?" Mattie Brown’s emotions became complex. Of course, he hoped someone from the Windsor Family could seize a thousand-man commander position. If someone did, the family’s noble title would be secure.

But he was deeply worried about Peter Brown’s potential defeat. If Peter Brown lost, the Windsor Family’s loss would be too great. After finally producing such a talent, the family could not afford to let him perish.

"Indeed, I must contend, and I have this capability." Peter Brown exuded a powerful aura.

Everyone initially wanted to persuade him further, but upon sensing Peter Brown’s aura, they fell silent, knowing no further persuasion was possible.

Mattie Brown looked at everyone and said, "Since that’s the case, we can only hope for your victory. During the contest for the thousand-man commander, no one outside can interfere, and His Majesty will be watching closely. Within this large army, each unit will include you as potential thousand-man commanders, ensuring that securing a position will naturally be safer."

Stone Brown looked at Peter Brown and asked, "Are you truly confident?"

Peter Brown said, "You’ve all witnessed my struggle for the throne; you should know, very few are my match, and that colorful sphere must include my share."

The elders left, and the Windsor Family sent some more servants, clearly showing their great concern for Peter Brown.

Peter Brown entered his room alone and then sat cross-legged, adjusting his breath.

As more energy surged from the Elixir Sea, Peter Brown’s whole body transformation accelerated. Peter Brown believed that with his current physical condition, even being slashed would not pose a significant problem.

As time passed gradually, the power of the Rule of Gold within Peter Brown’s Elixir Sea began to merge. After this power merged, its force moved towards the Elixir Sea.

The sealed part within the Elixir Sea, under the power of the Rule of Gold, was slowly dissolving.

So that’s how it is!

Peter Brown finally understood the method to lift the sealed power. The seal within the Elixir Sea could indeed be broken. With enough power of the Rule of Gold, the seal could naturally be broken, thereby allowing him to recover.
