73: Chapter 72: Elegance (Second Update)

Actually, in the afternoon, the revered Lord of the Horizon Bureau had already arrived outside the village entrance.

After inquiring about the situation of Burning Hillock, Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow suggested: “General Bertram, who is most familiar with the situation of Extinct Village and Burning Hillock, can be summoned by Lord Algernon for questioning.”

However, Lord Jeffery Cooper gave her an indifferent glance and said, “What insights can such a wild cultivator have?”

Vanessa’s eyebrows furrowed, but she said nothing more.

Jeffery Cooper sneered again and said, “Bringing such a person of unknown origin into the Horizon Bureau is reckless on Prescott’s part.”

“Born in Extinct Village, he is likely to have been corrupted by the pervasive evil energy here, turning him into a monster.”

“Tomorrow, we must conduct a thorough inspection and not allow monsters to hide in my Horizon Bureau!”

Abigail Turner and the others remained silent, not daring to speak.

Vanessa secretly snorted, understanding the reason for Jeffery Cooper’s words: the man had a narrow mind.

“How troublesome,” she thought to herself.

“Little aunt, you’ve caused trouble, but I’m the one who suffers.”

She had heard long ago that Jeffery Cooper had pursued her little aunt; he considered himself a noble and handsome man, but her little aunt simply did not have eyes for him, so he held a grudge and made life difficult for her wherever possible.

General Bertram was brought in by her little aunt, so this was done by Jeffery Cooper on purpose.

At night when they were resting, Abigail Turner secretly found Jeffery Cooper and reported, “General Bertram has a Chain Lock Magical Instrument specifically targeting ghosts, and the Repair Ghost was captured by him.”

She betrayed General Bertram without hesitation, pledging loyalty to Jeffery Cooper.

As for her previous recruitment plan…between General Bertram and Jeffery Cooper, the choice was not difficult.

What Abigail Turner currently cared about most were those 500 Meritorious Copper Coins.

If she had known earlier, she would have embezzled the coins and not given a single one to General Bertram. novelbuddy.cσ๓

Jeffery Cooper glanced at Abigail Turner and didn’t want to look any further: she was too ugly, with a tub waist and pancake face.

Such a person could only be a lackey.

“I see,” he said indifferently, and then asked, “What level of cultivation has he reached?”

Abigail Turner recalled what Vanessa had said: “It should be the Heterotext Hierarchy, and I heard that Heterotext is not bad.”

“Heh heh,” Jeffery Cooper showed disdain and said, “At his age, I was already at the Second Level of the Ignition Acupoint Level.

When I was 16, I had already ignited 150 acupoints.”

Abigail Turner thought of the rumors about Lord Jeffery Cooper within the government office: He was from a noble background, and his acquaintances were all from powerful families and sects.

He looked down on cultivators from impoverished backgrounds, let alone wild cultivators.

But how many resources did your family give you?

How many famous teachers did they invite?

When comparing yourself to a mountain village kid, were you proud of winning?

While Abigail Turner understood this in her heart, she couldn’t speak it out loud.

Instead, she smiled fawningly and said, “He doesn’t deserve to be compared with Lord Algernon.”

After daybreak, the still uninformed General Bertram came to find his immediate superior for a meal, only to encounter the impressive entourage of Lord Algernon from the Horizon Bureau.

Abigail Turner was overbearing: “Come and pay your respects to Lord Algernon.”

General Bertram cupped his fists and paid his respects, Jeffery Cooper rudely asked: “Where does your cultivation come from?”

There was clear suspicion in his tone.

General Bertram didn’t get angry, because he knew he’d have to explain it sooner or later.

Although Abigail Turner and Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow hadn’t asked, they must have had doubts in their hearts.

The Horizon Bureau’s recruitment required a thorough investigation of prospects’ backgrounds.

Vanessa worriedly looked at General Bertram, fearing that if he couldn’t answer well, Lord Jeffery Cooper would directly judge him as a monster hiding among humans!

“A while ago, a man came to our village.

He needed to go to the Large dirt mound, and he was a good person.

Before he left, he gave me some things, including a small booklet and three bottles of pills.

He instructed me to take one daily, practice the techniques in the booklet, and said it could ward off the Cold Poison in the village.”

A mocking look appeared in Jeffery Cooper’s eyes: “Is that really true?

Every child from a poor background has a story of an encounter and an opportunity.

Heh, are there really so many such opportunities in this world?”

General Bertram frowned slightly; did Lord Jeffery Cooper have a hidden agenda?

With such status, it was quite petty of him to make trouble for a Trial Training General.

Vanessa suddenly remembered something and asked, “What’s the name of that uncle?”

General Bertram shook his head: “I don’t even know his name, I only know his surname is Eastwood, I call him Uncle Eastwood.”

Abigail Turner exclaimed: “Wealth King Ethan Eastwood!”

“Three months ago, the super expert of the Fifth Great Domain suddenly disappeared, and it turned out he entered Burning Hillock.”

“If it’s him, it’s really possible!”

General Bertram was also surprised in his heart; Uncle Eastwood was so powerful!

He had originally intended to fabricate a plausible reason—Uncle Eastwood indeed came to Extinct Village, indeed went to Burning Hillock, and indeed gave him a Brocade Pouch.

However, his current strength had little to do with Uncle Eastwood.

Yet, it unexpectedly turned out to be a perfect explanation.

Abigail Turner also asked: “And that Chain Lock, did Wealth King Eastwood also give it to you?”

“Yes, he said it was not very peaceful around the village and left it for me to defend myself.”

Abigail Turner suppressed the intense jealousy in her heart; this kid was so lucky!

Why did Wealth King Eastwood choose him?

Ethan Eastwood was known as “Wealth King”, having countless treasures!

Even in the Wood Dynasty’s Cultivation World, there was a saying: Wealth King is luck!

Jeffery Cooper showed a contemplative expression.

He had originally come for the Burning Hillock, but he didn’t expect the situation to involve a top expert of the Fifth Great Domain, which exceeded his expectations.

“Why would Ethan Eastwood, at the peak of the Fifth Great Domain, enter Burning Hillock?

Moreover, he gave treasures to General Bertram, as if arranging his affairs.

Could it be that he had already given up hope of survival?”

Abigail Turner said, “According to the confidential information in our department, Ethan Eastwood had been involved in a regretful event in his early years.

His beloved elder brother died because of him, and for many years since then, Ethan Eastwood had been trying to find his brother’s soul to help with his reincarnation and Cultivation.”

“It’s probably related to this matter.”

General Bertram showed a look of recollection: “When Uncle Eastwood headed towards Burning Hillock, he did give a feeling of having no other choice.”

Jeffery Cooper waved his hand: “No need to say more, let’s first check whether there are any issues with this Trial Training General himself.”

Then, his eyes emitted a green light as he stared at General Bertram, observing his reaction.

General Bertram smiled openly: “That’s only fitting.” As someone hailing from Extinct Village, anyone would have their doubts.

Vanessa sighed with relief; she was worried that General Bertram might be impulsive, but it turned out the guy knew his place.

Jeffery Cooper simply said, “Fabian, you do it yourself.”

One of his subordinates, a cold-faced man named Fabian, stepped out and said, “Yes!”

Fabian suddenly made a move, and nine thin iron chains flew out from his body, making a hissing sound like poisonous snakes as they aimed for General Bertram!

General Bertram’s eyes narrowed: The visitor was ill-intentioned.

He remained still.
