Chapter 1199: Chapter 1199: Conclusion
"Brother Julius, can you guess why I’m here?"
Julius Reed was driving on the road, with Nelson unusually acting coquettishly beside him.
There were many vehicles outside the Shadow Gate.
These were the vehicles that the powerful martial artists from the beach had used to get here.
What a pity.
Those people would never return.
Only a bunch of ownerless cars remained.
Julius casually picked one and drove with Nelson toward the nearest city to the Shadow Gate.
"You can speak properly, or else I’ll leave you behind," Julius said with a smile.
The road was not very good.
After all, other than the Shadow Gate, there were no other people or organizations here.
"There is actually another purpose for my visit," Nelson hesitated, then looked at Julius and said softly, "There is something I have never told you. My foster mother lives in Star City, three hundred miles from here."
"I didn’t grow up in Azure Mountain since I was a child. It was just a lie concocted by my master to shut others up. It’s been over a decade since I last visited my mom."
The usually carefree Nelson suddenly felt a touch of sadness.
"I know," Julius said indifferently, "When you were a child, because you were a girl with three older sisters, your parents, wanting a boy, abandoned you. It was your current foster mother who took you in. She got you into the best schools, provided the best education, and finally pulled a lot of strings to get you into Azure Mountain."
Ignoring Nelson’s shocked gaze, Julius continued, "Of course, you were quite competitive. You entered Azure Mountain in your teens, the oldest but most talented. Within a few short years, you became a candidate for the saintess of Azure Mountain and spent several more years defeating all your competitors to stand out."
"After becoming the saintess, I picked your colored ball in the martial competition and you denied it. Since I couldn’t beat you, I could only endure it," Nelson teased with raised eyebrows, "Did you investigate me?"
She wouldn’t ask such a foolish question as ’how did you know?’
Even if he were down and out, the leader of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance could easily look up his own background.
"Of course."
Julius glanced at her, then turned on the car music and started humming a tune.
"When did this happen?" Nelson asked curiously, "After you picked my colored ball?"
As she asked, her eyes were filled with expectation.
If this were true, it would mean that he had considered her at the time.
Sometimes Nelson couldn’t understand why she, the saintess of Azure Mountain, felt so humble.
But on deeper thought.
Who wouldn’t love a unique man in the world?
"The first time... after we slept together."
Julius said casually.
"Ugh!"
Nelson, who had been full of expectation, immediately stiffened her face.
Such a jerk!
"Actually, before you tricked me, I really didn’t care who you were," Julius defended himself, "You should be grateful. I only mention one thing..."
He looked at Nelson, "The only woman whose identity I have actually checked is among six, other than the four maids beside me, just Quella Radcliffe and you."
"Now, do you still feel wronged?"
Hearing this, Nelson’s mood inexplicably brightened.
Quella Radcliffe was the legitimate wife, the wife Julius dearly loved.
To have the same treatment...
"I plan to first visit Star City, then take a ship back to Gonzalez City. The matter with Isabella Warm can’t be delayed any longer. It’s not long before the traitors of Demarco Mount make their move."
Julius turned up the car music and drove across the desert.
This scene, if carrying a long rifle and riding a horse, would really feel a bit like a western cowboy.
"Thank you," Nelson said, biting her lip, "Speaking of which, since I entered Azure Mountain, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen my foster mother. If it weren’t for her, I might have frozen to death on the street because I was a girl."
Star City.
The city closest to Shadow Gate.
This time, Nelson mainly came to help Julius Reed dispel the Evil Qi.
After receiving a call from the Southern Sea Godly Nun, she traveled overnight to get here.
But there was a second matter—she also wanted to take the chance to visit her foster mother.
People are not plants; they have feelings.
Even the so-called Saintess of Azure Mountain is human.
When she was at Azure Mountain, to seal the mouths of the masses, she couldn’t return home to visit her family.
Nor could she reveal her own origins.
Now that she had left Azure Mountain and come to Shadow Gate,
it was the perfect time to pass through Star City on her way back.
She didn’t want to leave any regrets.
Ordinary people don’t have the longevity of a Martial Artist.
Children want to take care of their parents, but often parents are not there.
After Nelson became famous, she had never repaid her foster mother.
"It’s just on the way, I’m not free to accompany you to visit your family," Julius Reed said with a smile, shaking his head, "The martial world folks might be dead. But, they were less significant than mosquitoes. The Town North King from The North Sea has been following us and has already arrived at Star City. I’m considering, maybe it’s time to teach Devlin a lesson?"
Originally!
Devlin had deceived The North Sea, claiming he wanted to join forces to seize the Divine Dragon Tripod.
Later, Town North King betrayed Devlin, wanting to move Julius Reed’s spy and deceive everyone.
But he ended up being used by Devlin, who annihilated nearly a hundred of The North Sea’s Cavalry at Middle-river Pier.
Only Town North King escaped alone in a sorry state.
After leaving Middle-river Pier, Town North King kept following. 𝒏𝒐𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝒄𝙤𝙢
But suddenly, he gave up tracking Devlin and headed for Star City.
The real reason Julius Reed wanted to come to Star City was that Baylor Davenport had once spent a long time here during his studies.
Town North King must have a secret for coming here this time!
Templeton Lena and others tracked him through Star City but to little avail.
Without The North Sea Cavalry to hold him, it was very easy for Town North King to hide alone.
"What do you plan to do?" At some point, Nelson had already tied herself to Julius Reed.
Anything Julius Reed wanted to do, Nelson would help with all her might.
"After we get to Star City, you visit your family first. I’ll look into Baylor Davenport’s past," Julius Reed said lightly, one hand on the steering wheel, "According to the information from my informants, Kyler Reed tried to replace Baylor Davenport and was almost killed. Such a scheming woman, I don’t think she went abroad merely for refuge. Besides, how could Kyler Reed alone unite The North Sea? I want to catch Town North King and uncover the secrets of The North Sea!"
Most importantly, Julius Reed wanted to know why Ian Jorden had died.
"As you say."
Nelson didn’t respond.
She was too tired from the previous ordeal and felt sleepy.
Seeing Nelson close her eyes, Julius Reed turned the car’s music volume to the lowest.
Noticing this, the corners of Nelson’s mouth lifted slightly.
This man was quite thoughtful.
...
"My subordinates were incompetent, and we were schemed against by Devlin! As a result, all the troops I led were killed."
Star City.
In a dimly lit room.
Town North King, dressed in a suit and wearing a hat, knelt on the ground.
"It doesn’t matter."
In front of him, an old man dressed in a dragon robe waved his hand: "I have heard of Devlin; he is tough to deal with. It’s not a disgrace that you were outwitted. However, we must accelerate our progress in the east."
While speaking, the old man touched a jade ring on his finger: "Back then, we used the entire North Sea as bait. Now, it’s time to conclude this chess game."
