“Reuben Meskill, Greetings to Hall Lords!”
After Fabian Mills and his group left, the head of the Meskill family led a group of people from the Meskill family to approach Alfie Vaughan and Phecda. He appeared modest as he spoke.
While speaking, he glanced at Alfie Vaughan and Phecda who were one kilometer away, feeling secretly fortunate!
It was all thanks to the instructions he repeatedly gave to his daughter before they came to Ether Mountain, emphasizing that this trip to Ether Mountain was only for a routine visit and to avoid conflicts with the people of Ether Mountain.
And Abby Meskill did follow his instructions. From yesterday until today, she had not had any conflicts with anyone from Ether Mountain.
Otherwise, his fate would be the same as Alfie Vaughan and Phecda!
“Do the Meskill family also want to test the strength of Ether Mountain?” Phecda coldly asked Reuben Meskill.
“Hall Lords, you have misunderstood!” Reuben Meskill slightly bowed.
“I came here at the request of my father, specifically to visit the old master of Ether Mountain. Unfortunately, he is not here at the moment.”
“I planned to visit Peak Master today, but I didn’t expect this incident to happen. I am deeply sorry.”
“Peak Master does not receive visitors. Please leave!” Phecda continued in a cold voice.
“Hall Lord, is Lord Dragon… Is he alright?” At this moment, Abby Meskill looked at Phecda and asked.
“It’s hard to tell he’s alive or dead!” Phecda replied coldly.
“Lord Dragon has a great future ahead of him, so he will definitely be fine…” Abby Meskill took a deep breath and responded.
“Lord Phecda, I have two Life-saving Pills here. They were intended as a gift to the old master.” Reuben Meskill spoke as he took out a small pill bottle from his pocket.
“If you don’t mind, please accept them. You can give one to Lord Dragon. It should help with his injuries.”
“Life-saving Pills?” Megrez Sims’s eyes lit up.
As one of the four guardians of Ether Mountain, he naturally knew about Life-saving Pills.
As the name implies, these pills can save a person’s life as long as they still have a breath left.
There are even rumors that even if a person dies, as long as it doesn’t exceed a certain time limit, this pill can snatch them back from the gates of death.
The fact that the Meskill family could produce two Life-saving Pills as a gift for this visit was quite a generous gesture.
Though the Ether Mountain’s treasury contained a large number of treasures, and various high-grade elixirs, they didn’t possess this kind of rare treasure as Life-saving Pills.
“Yes, that’s right!” Reuben Meskill handed the pill bottle to Megrez Sims.
“Thank you very much!” Megrez Sims accepted the pill bottle.
Such a precious elixir was not something to be taken lightly. Two pills could save two lives!
“You are too kind, Hall Lord. This is just a small token of our appreciation.” Reuben Meskill’s face relaxed as Megrez Sims accepted the pills.
Regardless, Ether Mountain had accepted his goodwill, which was one of his goals for coming here.
After that, Reuben Meskill led the Meskill family members to bid farewell and leave.
As they were about to leave, Abby Meskill couldn’t help but glance in the direction of the mountain. A complex expression flashed across her face.
“Abby, you did well this time!” Reuben Meskill looked at his daughter and said.
“Thank you for your praise, Father. I was just following your instructions,” Abby Meskill responded.
“Hehe, even if I didn’t tell you, you would have done the same, wouldn’t you?” Reuben Meskill smiled and said.
After a brief pause, he continued in a thoughtful tone, “Abby, in life, many things depend on fate. They cannot be forced!”
“What… What do you mean?” Abby Meskill asked in confusion.
“You should understand what I mean!” Reuben Meskill continued speaking.
“Lord Dragon is indeed an outstanding figure among men, a rare talent in Glavale for the past millennium!”
“Most women would hope to spend their lives with someone like Lord Dragon. However, this matter cannot be forced!”
“You and Lord Dragon are destined to be incompatible. Take the opportunity now, while you’re not too deeply involved, to let go of your desires. It will be beneficial and harmless to you!”
“Father, I… I don’t have those kinds of thoughts. I just want to be friends with him…” Abby Meskill’s face showed a complex expression.
“You are my daughter. Don’t I know you well?” Reuben Meskill smiled faintly.
“That’s all I can say about this matter. It’s up to you from here on out. Don’t get yourself too deeply involved. Otherwise, it will be a great suffering!”
“I… I understand,” Abby Meskill took a deep breath.
After a slight pause, she continued, “Father, he… Do you think he will be okay?”
“You can rest assured!” Reuben Meskill smiled again. “He is at most just slightly injured, with no life-threatening danger!”
“Why are you so sure, Father?” Abby Meskill asked, slightly puzzled.
“Lord Dragon not only possesses extraordinary martial talent, but also great intelligence,” Reuben Meskill replied. “He intentionally provoked Alfie Vaughan and Trystan Long to make a move!”
“Otherwise, Gilberto Vaughan and Trystan Long would have been dead the first time he made a move. How could they have survived until now?”
“Hmm?” Abby Meskill was surprised again.
“Father, are you saying that when he made his first move, he deliberately held back his full strength, just to give Alfie Vaughan and Fletcher Long a chance to strike?”
“And then, he deliberately let himself forcefully bear the attacks of both of them, in order to give Ether Mountain a reason to kill Alfie Vaughan and Fletcher Long?”
“Exactly!” Reuben Meskill nodded. “If he had killed Gilberto Vaughan and Trystan Long with his first strike, Ether Mountain would have lost the initiative.”
“In that case, while Ether Mountain would have been able to save Lord Dragon, they would not have had a reason to go against Alfie Vaughan and Fletcher Long.”
After a momentary pause, he added, “If I am correct in guessing, Lord Dragon’s initial target was Alfie Vaughan and Fletcher Long!”
“These two families set up a trap a few days ago to take Lord Dragon’s life, and Lord Dragon certainly wouldn’t let them off easily.”
“What’s ridiculous is that Alfie Vaughan and Fletcher Long also wanted to use their own sons to eliminate Lord Dragon. They really underestimated Lord Dragon, the outstanding figure in Glavale!”
With his experience, he had long guessed most of the details of this matter.
He also believed that Alfie Vaughan and Fletcher Long had seen through Billy’s intentions during the second time he made a move.
But they had no choice. If they didn’t make a move, Billy would have definitely killed Gilberto Vaughan and Trystan Long, and they couldn’t just watch their sons die in front of them.
Knowing it was a no no but still having to do it, the two of them were pushed to a dead end by Billy!
“I understand!” Abby Meskill nodded, and the palpable tension in her heart finally eased.
“If nothing unexpected happens, the Long family and the Vaughan family will likely be in big trouble next!” Reuben Meskill said again.
“We should hurry back and discuss with your grandfather on how to deal with the upcoming changes in the Ancient Martial World.”
“Okay!” Abby Meskill nodded in agreement.
