Chapter 2372: Chapter 2270: Participating in the Battle of Throne
As Peter Brown walked out of the Conference Hall, a voice called from behind him, “Peter.”
Turning his head, Peter saw it was Hart Walter calling him and replied. Peter didn’t have much fondness for these dandy youngsters.
“The three of us are in the sa boat. How about going for a drink?”
Peter shook his head and said, “You know, our house just returned. There are still many things to do at ho, and after it’s done, tomorrow is the Battle of Throne. I need to clear my mind.”
The two initially wanted to invite Peter for a drink, but seeing Peter’s attitude, their faces turned a bit grim. Danny Walter snorted and said, “Centurion, do you think it’s that easy? Let tell you; getting a Sergeant Major position would be good enough. We’re pitiful; this ti we definitely have to go to the battlefield, not knowing if we can survive. While in the Capital City, I advise you to enjoy yourself more.”
Peter glanced at the two Windsor Family youngsters who had no ambitious plans and realized further why the Windsor Family treated him so kindly. He didn’t want to say more and nodded, “I won’t go this ti; there are indeed many things. You guys play well.”
After speaking, he left directly.
Seeing Peter leaving, Hart Walter snorted and said to Danny, “This brat really thinks he’s sothing. Just wait; once he’s gone, his mother and Kate will suffer!”
The two laughed and walked away.
In a nice courtyard, lody Carter and Emily Williams seed visibly happy, directing the servants to do tasks.
It was evident that these servants were ones used by their family before. After the family split, they were sent elsewhere. Now they were recruited back, and lody was speaking to a maid.
Seeing their expressions like this further confird Peter’s understanding of their mindset. Indeed, entering the Windsor Family seed to be their belonging, which rendered Peter speechless. Only he could hold their status; if he couldn’t get benefits for the Windsor Family, their outco would be hard to say.
He beckoned the mother and daughter into Inside the House, letting the servants keep their distance before he analyzed the Windsor Family’s situation for them. After explaining, he looked at the two and said, “You know the situation. In this Windsor Family, if I encounter any mishap, you’d be in trouble. Hence, I plan to keep the courtyard I bought, and also, I’ll arrange so silver notes for you, just in case.”
“Has the Windsor Family really reached this point?”
The two won were shocked by Peter’s words.
Peter smiled and said, “It’s just a concern of mine. As long as you understand, it’s fine. Don’t worry. With here, Windsor Family will be okay.”
lody wasn’t a fool. She hesitated and said, “I understand your aning. Even your father wouldn’t agree for us to leave the Windsor Family. So, I’m happy to return to the Windsor Family. As for outside matters, I don’t know. Handle it yourself, stay safe, and don’t risk your life for Windsor Family. If it doesn’t work out, after you return, we can live our lives independently.”
Peter smiled, realizing his mother wasn’t foolish.
Peter went out once, directly collecting all seventy strains of Ginseng. Then he dismantled the formations in those fields and harvested vegetables.
Finding so servants to help, he sold the vegetables to the inn, carefully stored the Ginseng, and delivered twenty strains of hundred-year ginseng to Marlie Barker again for sale.
Naturally, Marlie Barker pulled Peter to give instructions again.
This ti, he obtained silver notes worth twenty-four thousand taels.
Back ho, Peter handed over silver notes of twenty thousand taels to lody for safekeeping, keeping four thousand taels and thirty strains of Ginseng for himself, intending to refine so Elixirs for self-defense.
After finishing these matters, Mattie Brown called him over again, handing a booklet to Peter and said, “This is the Mad Demon Sword Technique inherited from our ancestors, comprising ten moves. Our Windsor Family’s descendants can use at most five moves. Study it here and morize what you can.”
After saying this, Mattie left.
Peter took out the Mad Demon Sword Technique and glanced through it, smirking. This mortal sword technique was like child’s play for him. It relied on internal energy to swing the sword, exhausting energy after ten moves. It wasn’t a good sword technique, but it was evident that as long as the last move wasn’t used, deploying the first nine moves cyclically could be quite effective amidst chaotic battles.
Peter examined each move one by one, incorporating his own understanding along the way. After studying all ten moves, the sword technique appeared unchanged, yet Peter had already modified it, with the power naturally enhanced.
When Peter erged, Mattie was waiting outside, looking at Peter and asking, “morized?” Little did he know, Peter not only mastered it but also enhanced its power.
Returning the booklet, Peter said, “Got it.”
Mattie didn’t dwell much on it, nodding, and said, “After morizing, practice on the battlefield yourself, how much you master is your business, but don’t divulge it.”
“I know.”
Mattie had soone fetch a broadsword and said, “This Azure Dragon Broadsword is a fine Weapon. Since you’re going to battle, you must have such a Weapon. Take it.”
Peter didn’t stand on ceremony and took it to examine. He felt the sword was forged from Fine Iron but too light.
Never mind, he didn’t expect much from such a Weapon.
However, Peter felt frustrated that he couldn’t store it in the Space Domain. Carrying such a large sword was quite a hassle.
After returning ho, Peter didn’t go out again, pondering over all the mortal thods he could use. Only after crafting his own techniques did he feel relieved.
It’s been many years since he last engaged in mortal affairs, giving Peter an unusual feeling.
When he woke up early the next day, hearing the loud bell ringing from the Martial Arts Arena, Peter’s body, sitting cross-legged, moved, and his eyes snapped open. He knew the Battle of Throne was about to comnce.
After washing up, as Peter walked out, he saw his mother and Kate’s worrying faces.
When looking outside, Mattie arrived again, with a complex expression on his face.
