Chapter 60 Oliver Eberhar
The manor was very big and quite nicely decorated with antiques and painting.
There were many maids going to and fro in the corridor. Nurous guards were standing along each corridor and turns.
Alex also found his spy puppets doing their work in disguise as servants. His puppets have successfully infiltrated most of the powerful forces on this Island.
Though they are not in any important position, they can still provide him with first-hand intelligence from what they see and hear.
There’s also no risk of soone finding out because every puppet is connected to each other ntally and have no physical communication between them.
Anyway, they quickly ca in front of a door having two guards on both sides. Through the use of spiritual sense, Alex saw through their strength.
Both of them were at eight grade of Body Tempering Realm. Elaina knocked on to the door and a voice ca out.
"Co in"
As the door opened, two n standing by the window ca into their view.
One looked very old while the other had the appearance of a middle-aged man but looked a little pale and sick. Alex knew that the later was the Lord of Yandell family, Willy Yandell.
Patriarch Willy sat down and carefully examined Alex. Without the air of arrogance that a Noble Lord should have, he instead smiled and said "Welco young man. You must be Alex. Let first thank you for helping my daughter and Miss linda finding a safe place in the forest. Not only that, but I also heard that you are quite talented in the field of Alchemy and also a very brilliant fighter. Now that I see you, you are also quite handso"
As he said that, Patriarch Willy asked everyone to sit down.
He had done a background check on Alex, and so interesting thing ca out to his knowledge.
First, Alex was the sa talented guy who had beco the disciple of Master Clayton he had been hearing for so days.
The second interesting thing is about his history. It still not known to many people as to where have the villagers from the Pearl village escaped to.
Another thing he ca to know from Elaina was the cultivation and imnse strength shown by the young man in front of him when he killed so many Demon Beasts in the forest that day.
It was precisely because all of this that Patriarch Willy had decided to see him today. But the major reason was the old man beside him. He too had shown his interest to et with Alex.
To tell the truth, Patriarch Willy didn’t feel entirely at ease with Alex. His timing was too coincidental as if he was waiting for her daughter and linda there in the forest.
This made him skeptical of what his motives were though they were not valid till now.
Who knew if there was so kind of collusion between Alex and other forces?
Alex also respectfully greeted them, with a sowhat bizarre gaze.
Patriarch Willy slightly nodded his head, looked at Alex, and asked with deep concern: "Alex how are your Uncle Jack and the villagers? Are they all safe? If you need any help then you can ask ."
Alex smiled slightly "They all are good and living peacefully, there’s no problem at all. I thank you for your concerns"
Patriarch Willy was stumped for a bit. Then, a helpless smile flashed across his face as he asked "Alex, you don’t have to hide anything form . I am not like the Jordan Family if that’s what your concerns are. I seriously want to help the villagers."
Alex knew that Patriarch Willy misunderstood so he said "I know that you are not like any other Nobles on this Island and that’s why I ca here. But seriously, my villagers and my family have settled safely. Everything they need, I can provide it myself. If there’s a problem in the future, then I will definitely ask for your help"
Patriarch Willy was stumped again. He felt very strong confidence from Alex tone.
Following a wave of gentle laughter, the old man walked over while chuckling "Good, good. Being self-reliant and confident is good. I like your temperant kid"
Before Patriarch Willy could introduce him, the old man did it first.
"I am Oliver Eberhart"
"Nice to et with you Mister Oliver" linda had ntioned this na one ti. He must be the master Of linda and Elaina. Brenna Eberhart should be related to this old man as they have the sa surna.
"I have only arrived at Dorbank City for only a month and the people I know may be plenty, but it could be said that there are none who truly know . From all youngsters I have seen and known in this city, you are only one that I found talented and capable."
"It’s my honor if you think like that but there’s a lot of talented people like "
"No need to be modest in front of , kid. Let’s cut to the chase, I want to know what your future plans are. My aning is, do you want to beco stronger and acquire more resources for your training" the old man was indeed very direct.
"Yes, those are my plans"
"Good. Do you want to go to Belmont Subcontinent to develop?"
"Yes, in the future"
"Alright then join . I will be taking away my disciple Elaina and linda to my clan Eberhart in Belmont Subcontinent in so days. You can also co and train in my clan academy. Oh, you don’t need to worry about your family and villagers. If you want then I can let them settle in my clan territory. They will be safe there"
’Old man, you are too straight-forward’ thought Alex in his mind.
"Mister Oliver, you don’t know nor do I think that anyone recruits disciple for his Clan in this way. Normally, it is the other way around. There seems to be strict regulation for the outsiders to join any clan.
The Old man slightly curled his lips. He looked Alex in the eye and said: "To fully understand a person, one would normally need a few years, around a decade, or even a few decades. However, if one wanted to know a person’s fundantal nature, only observing his eyes would be enough. Is this enough for you? Just tell straight, do you want to join my clan or not. There’s no future on this backward island, you have to understand that first"
Alex rejected without any hesitation "No, I am very sorry but I have to reject your offer. I have my own plans"
