Cold wind.
Clear snow.
The high red-lacquered walls of the Caldwell Family seed to block the violent northern winds outside.
The wind inside the courtyard was sowhat gentle.
Even so, Baylor Davenport still felt a bit uncomfortable.
The North Sea was full of sea breezes, like a woman’s hand.
Smooth and delicate.
But this Boulevard, was like a shrew!
Lifting a shovel and giving a good slap.
Ryder Yarrow walked ahead, trembling with fear, hoping that nothing else would happen along the way.
After all, that was the most beloved Miss Caldwell of the Cold Family!
As soon as this esteed guest from Ocean Academy entered, he offended both the snobbish Thayne Taylor and Miss Caldwell. It was unknown if the future days would be good or bad.
But this seed to have nothing to do with him.
As the housekeeper, Ryder Yarrow only needed to safely escort these three to the Caldwell Family’s guest room.
"General Yarrow," Julius Reed suddenly spoke while walking, "what is the true status of Miss Caldwell in the estate?"
"I just want to understand. After all, I will be staying at the Caldwell Family for a while. If unnecessary friction occurs, wouldn’t it cause trouble for the Family Head? I will pretend I haven’t heard what is said today and hope Housekeeper Yarrow will tell truthfully," he added in a low voice.
Hearing this, Ryder Yarrow felt a bit helpless.
Why not think about it earlier?
He had already addressed her as Miss, as a kind reminder.
Yet this young man insisted on having Olindo Caldwell apologize personally, refusing to give up otherwise.
How co it’s not even five minutes, and he seems a bit deflated?
As the Caldwell Family’s steward, Ryder Yarrow naturally wanted to resolve this conflict.
"These two originally didn’t have such a high status in the Caldwell Family. After all, they are not the Family Head’s daughters from before." Ryder Yarrow glanced around at the empty surroundings and said in a low voice, "The Caldwell Family’s original little princess was called rrill Caldwell. But now that the lord has returned, the status of the three has been reversed. rrill Caldwell’s life is uncertain to this day, while Olindo Caldwell and Hayden Caldwell have beco the real Misses of the Caldwell Family."
With that, he fell silent.
His words were clear enough.
There was nothing more to say.
"Understood." Julius Reed nodded, thinking to himself that the status of the two young won was indeed not low.
rrill Caldwell was still in Town, together with Gabriel Young.
The Boulevard trip was too dangerous to involve two won.
However, since these two young won’s status was so high, why not use his identity as a disciple of Ocean Academy to escalate the conflict?
"Who is the esteed guest approaching from the front?"
While walking, Han Caldwell suddenly appeared like a ghost in the middle of the path, blocking Ryder Yarrow’s way forward.
"Master!"
Ryder Yarrow was startled but quickly bowed respectfully, "Master, this is an esteed guest from Ocean Academy."
"Oh?" Han Caldwell, dressed in a white robe, his white hair cascading over his shoulders.
He looked like a demon.
At this mont, he was standing with his hands behind his back, squinting and scrutinizing Julius Reed.
Due to his physical condition, Han Caldwell’s complexion was pale.
Even his beard was hard to discern.
This was a common trait of the Undead Tribe.
And he wore white clothes to cover up this fact.
After all, if he wore black, it would be too obvious.
"When did Ocean Academy arrive?" Han Caldwell stood still, his tone calm.
Soon, his gaze shifted to Baylor Davenport.
"Ten minutes ago," Julius Reed responded indifferently.
Outside Swimming City, on that mountain, he had seen Han Caldwell before.
Days without seeing him, the old fellow’s abilities seed to have improved again.
"Ten minutes ago?" Han Caldwell’s eyes were like hawks, fixed on Julius Reed. "So why are there only three of you?"
Thud!
Under this gaze, Mr. Banks collapsed directly on the ground.
Even though Baylor Davenport could hold on, falling was only a matter of ti.
The pressure!
A strong oppressive feeling, surging forth!
If it weren’t for practicing the cultivation technique from the forbidden book, Baylor Davenport would have already been prostrate on the ground.
Only Julius Reed remained unmoved.
His expression was like a calm lake.
As if this pressure had no effect on him at all.
"Oh?" A trace of surprise flashed across Han Caldwell’s face.
He prided himself on being strong enough, this kind of ntal pressure should be enough to crush many martial artists!
Even among the Great Grandmasters of the Caldwell Family, few could withstand more than ten seconds in front of him!
Yet now, could this re young man withstand it?
While contemplating, Baylor Davenport finally succumbed to the pressure, his legs giving way, collapsing on the ground.
But Han Caldwell’s attention was not on Baylor Davenport.
Instead, it was fixated on Julius Reed!
This young man, claiming to be from Ocean Academy, was extraordinary!
"Fifteen, sixteen, seventeen..." Han Caldwell stood motionless, starting to silently count the ti in his mind.
He believed this young man would eventually submit at his feet.
As to when, Han Caldwell wasn’t certain.
So he was calculating in his mind.
He wanted to see how long this young man could hold out!
When the count reached twenty-three, Julius Reed suddenly bent down.
"Ha. Very strong." Han Caldwell smiled knowingly but did not withdraw his power.
As the Family Head of the Caldwell Family and the organizer of this Kunlun Mountain event, he needed to show the other party how strong he truly was!
Only the strong can subdue the strong!
Twenty-three seconds!
This number, even the strongest Martial Arts Grandmaster of the Caldwell Family, had never reached.
The closest was twenty-one seconds.
But suddenly!
Han Caldwell’s squinted eyes suddenly widened!
He saw—
Julius Reed bent down, untied his shoelace, and loosened it.
Then, with great elegance, he tied it back up.
Next, this disciple from Ocean Academy straightened up, similarly placing his hands behind his back, smiling at Han Caldwell.
Impossible!
Inside Han Caldwell’s mind, there were only these three words!
Ti no longer mattered to him.
Could it be that this guy was entirely unaffected by his aura?
Then who was he, really!
Could Ocean Academy really have soone this formidable?
Julius Reed’s eyes slightly closed.
In an instant!
The snow in this area halted imdiately!
A pressure beyond description descended from the heavens!
Like heavenly thunder striking down!
Directly charging at Han Caldwell’s crown!
"Hiss..." Han Caldwell inhaled sharply, unable to steady himself, staggering.
"Mr. Caldwell, are you alright?" Julius Reed quickly stepped forward to support Han Caldwell.
At the sa ti!
The strong aura vanished instantly.
"No... no problem." Han Caldwell waved his hand awkwardly, "Thank you, young brother. Perhaps it’s because too much snow fell, and no one cleaned the courtyard. I lost my footing."
Though he said this, his eyes never left Julius Reed.
But strangely, that intense aura was gone!
Not a single trace could be felt.
As if it had never appeared.
Could it be a hallucination?
From the looks of it, the young man before him definitely did not possess such formidable skills.
"It must be a hallucination!" Han Caldwell closed his eyes, taking a deep breath.
Recently, there were many things happening, causing him to work tirelessly day and night, likely resulting in a brief hallucination.
Otherwise, there was no explanation.
Very peculiar!
"Ocean Academy..." Han Caldwell re-adopted his previous posture, though his tone was much gentler, "Your na?"
"West Tower. This is my companion, Baylor Davenport. This one... is my book bearer," Julius Reed introduced Baylor Davenport and Mr. Banks.
And specifically emphasized that Baylor Davenport was his companion, to test Han Caldwell’s reaction.
"Oh." Sure enough, Han Caldwell’s expression changed slightly, nodding, "Why are there only the three of you?"
"Chief Ragnar Frost had sothing co up halfway, so I ca in his place," Julius Reed explained.
"Since that’s the case, rest well at the Caldwell Family. For any needs, just find Ryder Yarrow." Finished speaking, Han Caldwell disappeared from the spot.
It wasn’t until he left that Mr. Banks and Baylor Davenport finally caught their breath.
Their eyes filled with deep fear...
