“Sir Murray has given the Cherusia away.” Mrs. Patty shook her head. “He gave it away? To whom?” Caden’s smile froze. “A young man named Dustin.” Mrs. Patty told him the truth.
“What? He gave it to that brat?” Caden frowned, and his expression turned dark. How could he give a precious treasure like the Cherusia to a loser like Dustin? He was too foolish!
Even if Dustin had saved Sheila before, they had already rewarded him. Was it necessary to treat him that well? “Can we get it back?” Caden couldn’t accept it. He had even confidently promised Diego. He didn’t expect problems to arise so quickly.
“You know Sir Murray’s personality. He would never get something he’s given away back.” Mrs. Patty put down that thought.
“Damn it! Just what makes him worthy of such a treasure?” Caden was fuming. “Mr. Caden, who is this Dustin? It seems like General Murray favors him.”
“He’s no one. My father likes him just because he saved my daughter once,”
Caden explained. “From what you’re saying, it seems like I’m not fated to get my hands on the Cherusia.” Diego narrowed his eyes.
“Not exactly…” Caden seemed to have thought of something. In a lowered voice, he continued, “Mr. Diego, while we can’t acquire i openly, we can always get it through dirty means.
“That Dustin brat is no one. With the Bourbon family’s influence, it shouldn’t be hard to steal the Cherusia from him.”
“Steal?” Diego raised an eyebrow. “Isn’t he on good terms with General Murray? Won’t I be offending the General by doing so?”
“If you and I don’t say anything, who would find out?” Caden smiled meaningfully. “Besides, my old man is just interested in him now. He won’t go to war over some poor kid.
“There’s no need to worry; I’ll cover for you. Nothing would go wrong!” “Oh? Is that so?” Diego was intrigued.
“Since you put it that way, I’ll take the risk and try it.”
“Mr. Diego, please find a good opportunity to act. And if possible, after acquiring the treasure, it would be best to…
Instead of finishing his sentence, Caden made a throat-slitting gesture. Since Dustin was so ungrateful, there was no point in keeping him alive. Fortunately, this was the chance to get rid of him through someone else.
“I understand. I will follow your request. I shall be leaving now.” Diego nodded before leaving with his two bodyguards.
“Mrs. Patty, you are to keep today’s matter to yourself, understand?” Caden glanced at her.
“I understand.” Mrs. Patty nodded. “Alright, I’m going to train my cultivation now. Wait outside, and don’t let anyone disturb me.” Caden waved dismissively.
After Mrs. Patty left, Caden hid the Raikiri well. He then sat on the bed and began to train silently. Soon, a layer of dark energy appeared on the surface of his body. The ominous and chilling dark energy immediately lowered the temperature of the room, turning the room into an ice chamber.
As he continued to train, his body suddenly trembled, and he broke out in sweat. Veins bulged on his face, and his expression contorted in pain.
The next second, Caden spat out a mouthful of blood and fell unconscious.
