Chapter 1141: Chapter 1141: The Treasure Bead of Power
Several years ago!
Kyler Reed, who is now an Elder Victor, faked his death.
Then, he quietly infiltrated The North Sea.
When he first saw Everton Davenport, what struck him the most was not the appearance or demeanor of this great hero.
Instead, it was the huge Luminous Pearl in the crown atop Everton Davenport’s head!
The North Sea by the coast!
Abounds with various marine life and precious gems.
But such a large Pearl, Kyler Reed, despite his vast experience, was extremely surprised!
On the Pearl, there was a string of small characters.
It is said to be in The North Sea language, signifying "lasting through the ages!"
And "immortalized through the ages!"
Later, he replaced Everton Davenport.
Of course, this was Baylor Davenport’s idea—she wanted to replace her father!
The so-called, Baylor Davenport being Everton Davenport’s most beloved daughter, was but a lie.
No matter how much a daughter is loved, in the end, the position of the leader had to go to Everton Davenport’s son, Baylor Davenport’s brother.
Baylor Davenport didn’t want to be the ruler of The North Sea!
She wanted to be an Empress!
Thus, she provoked the war against the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance.
Unfortunately, she failed.
But fortunately, Everton Davenport and the prince of The North Sea bore the consequences, Baylor Davenport had already fled The North Sea and escaped abroad.
Perhaps Everton Davenport never realized until his death that the person who originally invited Kyler Reed was his own daughter!
Royal disputes are no joke.
After he replaced Everton Davenport, Kyler Reed wore that crown for years!
He became more than familiar with the Treasure Bead on top.
At this moment, although the photo on the phone was blurry and unclear,
His intuition told Kyler Reed that this Pearl was the one lost after The North Sea’s defeat in battle.
"Help me check, who the current owner of this Pearl is, and where they are now!"
He raised his head, looking at the guard in front of him, "Quickly, find out their location for me."
"Understood!"
The guard nodded and immediately left.
The Pearl was of extraordinary significance; it not only represented power but symbolized the entirety of The North Sea!
This Pearl was passed down through generations, almost becoming a symbol of imperial authority in The North Sea!
Its significance was akin to that of the Imperial Jade Seal in Central Plains!
Anyone ruling The North Sea without this Pearl could not be considered legitimate!
This was the largest, brightest Pearl in The North Sea!
Flawless!
On it were also the small characters written by the first king of The North Sea.
Kyler Reed now has Baylor Davenport under house arrest, meaning he must take her place!
Otherwise, Baylor Davenport would not let him off.
In fact, from the beginning, Kyler Reed was thinking of usurping power.
Power is like an aphrodisiac; it’s truly addictive!
During those years replacing Everton Davenport, he enjoyed things he had never touched in his lifetime.
The riches and splendors of The North Sea, compared to his own faction, were worlds apart!
Having enjoyed such imperial power, Kyler Reed felt that the Night Fairy was already dead.
Dead in his own thirst for power.
Thus, when he ordered the Town North King to annihilate his own faction, he showed no mercy!
Originally planning to crush the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance and then eliminate Baylor Davenport,
No one expected The North Sea to be defeated!
Utterly crushed!
Even, the Grandmaster of Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, leading the Wolf Cavalry, charged thousands of miles, crumbling the old regime, and in two days took ninety-seven cities of The North Sea!
The military front pointed directly at Ivory Bay!
Kyler Reed had no choice but to release Everton Davenport, disguise himself as a member of the Wolf Cavalry, and disappear from The North Sea.
But he was not reconciled!
So, hearing about the intentions of The North Sea to restore the nation, he immediately approached Baylor Davenport.
Becoming her right-hand man!
But, replacing her was just a matter of time.
Yet, he hadn’t anticipated that Baylor Davenport had long been wary of him!
In that case, he had to strike first!
"Princess, we’ve already checked; the person is in a veterinary clinic on West City Road."
Five minutes later, the guard returned with the information.
"Very well. Now, what is the person doing?" Kyler Reed looked up, revealing a face identical to Baylor Davenport’s.
"Sleeping!"
The guard answered truthfully.
"Heh, thinking of sleeping when death is at hand?" Kyler Reed shook his head, muttering to himself: "The innocent must suffer for his treasure! Who would have thought, a single bead would bring such calamity upon you."
"Keep a close eye on him, and inform me immediately if there are any movements!"
He lightly tapped his fingers on the desktop, speaking coldly.
"Understood!"
The guard retreated backwards, leaving the room.
"Treasure Bead!"
Kyler Reed stared at the bead on the screen, the more he looked, the more it resembled!
It was identical to the one on the crown!
"Could it really be fate? Could it really be that I, Kyler Reed, am destined to be an emperor?"
A trace of worry flashed across his face.
This bead, Julius Reed knew about it and had seen it too!
And Julius Reed was in Five-river Province!
Spending his days in luxurious cars, throwing money around the streets!
If it ended up in the wrong hands first...
Kyler Reed felt the pressure!
Immense pressure!
He took a deep breath, feeling anxious.
This was about the imperial power of The North Sea!
Now, he was in control of the entire North Sea.
Once he executed his plan to eliminate Town North King and completely take control of the heavy cavalry, his position as the king of The North Sea would be fully secured.
Then, this bead would be legitimate!
In the Central Plains, ancient!
Without the Imperial Jade Seal, one would be considered illegitimate, and his words would carry no weight! 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
Similarly, if he wanted to firmly hold the imperial throne of The North Sea, he had to retrieve this bead.
"Forget it!"
Finally, Kyler Reed stood up, glanced at the clock on the wall,
and strode out.
"Princess!"
The guard at the door bowed his head in salute.
"I am stepping out for a moment."
Kyler Reed spoke coldly and vanished instantly from the entrance of the manor.
As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest.
The manor was less than a kilometer from Willson Building!
The people of The North Sea dressed in concierge uniforms looked just like those from a private mansion!
Once outside the manor, Kyler Reed immediately changed his appearance.
Into that of Julius Reed!
He wanted to know if there was any deception.
Cautious people, no matter when, always appear wary.
It is instinct!
An instinct for survival!
He did not linger along the way.
Kyler Reed spent about fifteen minutes and reached the veterinary clinic’s front door.
He surveyed his surroundings to ensure no one was around, then lightly knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
A lazy voice came from inside the house.
"I’m tired today, come back tomorrow!"
After saying that, there was silence.
Bang!
Kyler Reed knocked again.
"I’ve already said I’m not treating patients today, stop disturbing my rest, get lost!" came another angry shout from inside the house.
Seemingly very angry!
"I heard you have a rare pearl in your hands. I’d like to see it. If the price is right, I’m willing to buy it." Kyler Reed spoke softly.
The veterinary clinic was situated in a remote area with no one around.
As a Grandmaster, he could detect danger at the first sign.
But now, the surroundings were very quiet.
Only a few pedestrians passed by.
"Who is it?"
The door swung open, and Jensen Cook, seeing Kyler Reed disguised as Julius Reed at the door, paused slightly.
Seeing this scene, Kyler Reed’s eyes narrowed.
"How are things going?"
He posed pompously, "Has anyone come to you asking about that item?"
If this was truly a trap set by Julius Reed, the man before him would definitely answer truthfully.
Snap!
But suddenly.
Kyler Reed’s face was slapped.
