Once Chen Fei confird that the cracks on the Mystic Stone Mirror would only take a month or so to repair, he heaved a huge sigh of relief. He put it away and turned to Old Brad and Duke Ovilia, who were in the sa car. Raising his hand slightly, he said, "Old Brad, Duke Ovilia, I must thank you for your righteous support today."
"Chen, your words are too kind." Old Brad seed sowhat overwheld by the praise, waving his hands and shaking his head. "We didn't really help with anything today. Besides, even if we hadn't been there, I believe the outco would have been no different. After all, even..." As he spoke, a shiver ran through Old Brad and his heart trembled. His last sentence was, of course, about Granny Doya and Nemosin.
After all, even a great Prince of their Blood Clan and the invincible Nemosin, a master of the Grand Duke Realm, had died. What difference would it have made if we had been there or not?
"It's not the sa," Chen Fei said, shaking his head seriously. "The fact that you were willing to stand with under those circumstances is what matters. That alone shows , Chen Fei, a great deal of respect... Oh, that's right. I haven't had a chance to congratulate you, Old Brad. You've broken through to beco a Blood Clan Grand Duke, haven't you? It seems that was what you were busy with before?" He then smiled and looked up at the older man, offering his congratulations.
He had always seen the man at the peak of the Blood Clan Duke Realm, but now he had successfully made a breakthrough. This was certainly a joyous and celebratory occasion.
"Ah..." To Chen Fei's surprise, Old Brad sighed and said sowhat mysteriously, "This Grand Duke Realm was achieved through a forced advancent using special ans. As a result, I will likely never be able to climb any higher in this lifeti."
"Forced advancent through special ans?" Chen Fei was startled. He hadn't expected such a response to his congratulations. Old Brad was the current Clan Leader of the Brad Family, a man of high status and imnse dignity; it seed unlikely that such coercive asures would be used on him. But now... Could sothing major have happened?
At this thought, an unusual light flickered in Chen Fei's eyes. Technically, he didn't need to get involved in this sort of ss. Besides, he now had all three Jade Artifacts in hand, which was the most important thing. Still... they had helped him quite a bit and had been willing to stand by his side in such a 'dangerous' situation. Whether it was a calculated risk or a pure gamble on their part, he was genuinely moved.
At that, Young Master Chen shook his head and said aningfully, "Old Brad, it seems your trip to the United Kingdom wasn't just to lend a hand."
"Uh..." Hearing this, Old Brad's face flushed with panic and intense embarrassnt. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Chen, my apologies. You're right. I ca this ti because there is sothing I need your help with. I implore you to agree." With that, he actually stood up and bowed deeply to Chen Fei.
Seeing this, Duke Ovilia also rose and did the sa, pleading earnestly and seriously, "Mr. Chen, please, you must help the Brad Family this ti..."
"There's no need to be so serious. Both of you, please sit." Before the duke could finish, Chen Fei interrupted with a wave of his hand. As his dark eyes flickered, a surge of Spiritual Energy washed over Old Brad and Ovilia, forcefully straightening their bent bodies as their eyes widened in astonishnt.
He then narrowed his eyes, stroking his chin. "What exactly is the matter? Your Brad Family, along with the Nuo Weiya and Ashford families, is one of the Three Mafia Families of Europe. Even if your family's foundation and strength are sowhat inferior to theirs, you should still have Prince-level experts, right? So why can't even a Prince resolve this matter?"
"This..." Old Brad was taken aback by how bluntly Chen Fei spoke and was stunned for a mont. He then clenched his teeth and asked, "Chen, how much do you know about the Divine Demons of our Western world?"
"Divine Demons?" This ti it was Chen Fei's turn to be startled. A hint of solemnity and excitent appeared in his eyes as he slowly replied, "Absolutely nothing."
Could it be... that the Brad Family's current trouble is related to these so-called Divine Demons?
"Absolutely nothing?" Old Brad hadn't expected Chen Fei to be completely unaware of the Divine Demons of the Western world. He was stunned again for a mont before forcing his thoughts into order. "Chen," he began slowly, "in the East, you have powerful and terrifying beings known as 'Immortals,' who completely overshadow Ancient Martial Artists. In our West, the Divine Demons are the corresponding supre beings. The realm beyond the peak of sss Level is the Holy Domain. Upon reaching the Dominator Realm of the Holy Domain, one becos a Divine Demon!"
"The realm after sss Level? Holy Domain? Divine Demons?" Chen Fei murmured to himself, narrowing his eyes as a faint glint of understanding flashed through their dark, crystal-clear depths. This was certainly new information; he had been completely unaware of this before. However, this so-called Holy Domain should be equivalent to the Grandmaster level among the Ancient Martial Artists of the East.
It made sense. The Western Dark World's foundation was deep enough to contend with its Eastern counterpart for so long; it wasn't as simple as he had once thought.
Realizing this, Chen Fei asked again, "Does this problem of yours have sothing to do with these Divine Demons?" The Brad Family ranked last among the Three Mafia Families of Europe. Their foundation and strength were the weakest, and their strongest expert was likely an ordinary Blood Clan Prince at best. Yet, these so-called Divine Demons were beings of the legendary Holy Domain Realm, at a minimum. With their strength, how could they have held out until now?
