Chapter 82: Rise
Her future self had considered the situation quite thoroughly. The array formation left behind in the magic stone was just enough to heal Cangzhu’s injuries, and it could also nourish the gap in her heart.
Audrey was now even more certain that the damage to her heart was her future self’s vicious attack.
It did not matter anyway. She would not hurt herself.
But at the same time, after she said that she would take Cangzhu away from here, the strange feeling of being stared at suddenly disappeared.
Although Audrey was puzzled, she did not care too much.
She had never expected that after she and Cangzhu left the plot of land, on the wall of Cangzhu’s cave, the man who everyone supported slowly turned his head.
He looked at his people with an almost sorrowful expression. “There’s someone who wants to bring change to the Jones Empire, but you don’t want to see such a thing happen, do you?
“I need, I need to do something –”
With difficulty, the man turned his heavy eyes and walked down the stone wall step by step, stumbling behind Audrey.
The young man was stunned when he saw this ridiculous scene. “What’s going on… why can the people on the wall of the Davis family still move?”
Shadowless Ghost Hand followed the young man’s instructions and ran forward quickly to block the stone man. “Who are you? Why are you inside the stone?”
Seeing that the stone man remained silent, Shadowless Ghost Hand was furious and used his battle technique to pierce through the stone man’s body. “Who are you!?”
The stone man finally had a little reaction. He looked at Shadowless Ghost Hand with a heavy gaze. “You… you are not my match.”
Ever since he retired, no one had dared to speak to him like that!
Shadowless Ghost Hand was about to attack when the young man stopped him. “Shadowless Ghost Hand, this person doesn’t look like he has consciousness…”
No consciousness?
Shadowless Ghost Hand frowned. If he did not have any consciousness, why did he run out of the mural?
The young man walked forward and kicked the chest of the stone man. As expected, that person did not move at all after that.
“Master, should we continue following this woman? Or should I find an opportunity to drag her here –”
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Shadowless Ghost Hand’s eyes. This woman had too many secrets!
The young man shook his head indifferently. “No, I want to see what kind of world Audrey Davis can create.”
He walked on the wide path shamelessly and disappeared from the domain in a flash.
Shadowless Ghost Hand quickly followed and left the domain.
…
It had been a week since Audrey left the domain. Calder, elder Pierre, and Houston had stayed in the ancestral hall for an entire week without closing their eyes.
Although elder Pierre and Houston had been clamoring to abolish Calder’s position as the patriarch, Calder was still the patriarch of the Davis family before the meeting of all the elders.
Elder Pierre and Houston had to obey Calder’s orders.
Audrey saw the strange scene when the guards brought her in.
Houston and elder Pierre sat on the ground and meditated mournfully while her father, Calder, guarded them like a prison guard supervising the prisoners.
Calder was ecstatic when he saw Audrey come out. He looked Audrey up and down, and when he found that Audrey was not hurt, he let out a long sigh. “Audrey, it’s great that you came back safely.”
Audrey gently hugged her father. She looked at the other two coldly. “I’ve already brought the things you want. Are you sure that you’ll let my father and I leave the Davis family from now on? And you won’t ask me to marry that fool from the Fairlie family?”
Houston nodded and said matter-of-factly, “As long as you get what we want, we’ll definitely agree to your conditions.”
Audrey tossed the ancient book to Houston and left, dragging Calder along with her.
Houston picked up the book from the ground in an almost infatuated manner. The slightly yellowish pages and the majestic and thorough battle aura all indicated that this book was the treasure of the Davis clan.
The Great Clan Elder, Pierre, looked at Houston in a ridiculous manner. “Houston, do you really want to let Audrey off just for an ancient book?”
“Of course not.” Houston quickly denied the Grand Elder, Pierre. “So what if Audrey and Calder have already left the Davis clan? I’ll make them beg to rejoin the Davis clan.”
The Grand Elder, Pierre, laughed coldly. “I knew you wouldn’t have good intentions. Will this book really help our Davis clan rise again?”
Houston shook his head again and pretended to be profound, “Yes, it will help us rise again.”
They had been under Calder’s weight for too long. It was time to prove to everyone that the strongest expert of the Davis family was not Calder at all.
It was Houston Davis and elder Pierre!
The two of them quickly began to read through the ancient books brought out by Audrey as if they were hungry. They did not notice the changes in their bodies at all.
