“According to Grandfather, he only lasted three rounds against the opponent before being blasted off a cliff.” Kamren Arnold paused briefly before continuing.
“Fortunately, Grandfather didn’t meet his end there, but he suffered significant damage to his meridians and dantian, and his cultivation plummeted to the Sovereign Realm.”
“Since then, Grandfather has been plagued by injuries, and his cultivation has stagnated, eventually passing away with regrets!”
“During his period of illness, Grandfather appeared in the City of Angels a few times, which was intentionally done for public display. He was doing his final duty for the Arnold family.”
“I see,” Casey and the others nodded simultaneously.
“Mr Arnold, did he mention anything about who the other person was?” Harleen asked.
“The other party didn’t say a word from beginning to end, so Grandfather didn’t know his identity,” Kamren Arnold responded. “But now, it’s highly likely that he came from the Forbidden Ruins Space; otherwise, there wouldn’t have been such a skilled individual in the Central Part at that time.”
“Understood,” Harleen nodded slightly.
“Oh, Lord Dragon, I heard from Brenda that you’re inquiring about the whereabouts of two Glavale women,” Kamren Arnold adjusted his mood and looked at Billy.
“That’s correct,” Billy nodded. “Did the Arnold family head happen to see them?”
“Indeed, about a month ago, two women did come to see me. According to them, they were from Glavale Ether Mountain,” Kamren Arnold nodded in response.
“Their purpose in coming to me was the same as yours, Lord Dragon, to learn about the Forbidden Ruins Space. However, they didn’t get much useful information from me.”
“One reason is that I don’t know much myself, and the other is that I’m not familiar with them, so I couldn’t tell them the truth.”
“Understood,” Billy nodded again. “Does the Arnold family head know their whereabouts after that?”
“I’m really not sure about that,” Kamren Arnold shook his head slightly. “But, in my opinion, there are two possibilities.”
“What are those two possibilities?” Frostblade asked immediately.
“One possibility is that they may have gone directly to the Forbidden Ruins Space,” Kamren Arnold paused before continuing. “The other possibility is that they were looking for Ghosthand Fisher in the City of Angels at that time. Many people knew about it, including members of the Sacred Blood Sect.”
“So, it’s possible that they were targeted by members of the Sacred Blood Sect.”
“Hmm?” Harleen frowned. “Are you suggesting that they might have been captured by members of the Sacred Blood Sect?”
“That possibility can’t be ruled out,” Kamren Arnold nodded solemnly.
After saying this, he turned to Billy. “Lord Dragon, since you’ve already met Ghosthand Fisher, you should also know about the Sacred Blood Sect, right?”
“Yeah,” Billy’s face showed a hint of seriousness.
If Opal and Amber were indeed targeted by the Sacred Blood Sect, their situation was dire. Even though he didn’t know who was behind the Sacred Blood Sect, they were undoubtedly powerful figures in the Divine Realm, making it difficult for Opal and Amber to resist.
As he finished speaking, he turned to Kamren Arnold. “As the head of the Arnold family, we should be on guard if the Sacred Blood Sect’s people come to us.”
“Yeah,” Kamren Arnold’s gaze focused ahead as he nodded slightly. “This was already within my expectations, and it probably won’t be long before it happens.”
“Oh, by the way, I’m not sure about the relationship between the Arnold family and the Smith family,” Billy asked abruptly.
“The Smith family?” Kamren Arnold was slightly puzzled. “Lord Dragon, are you implying something?”
“Does the Smith family know about the incident with the Scholar with Nine Fingers?” Billy continued to ask.
“They should have had suspicions for a while, but I don’t think they’re certain,” Kamren Arnold replied.
“I see,” Billy nodded slightly.
“What do you mean, Lord Dragon?” Kamren Arnold asked again.
At this moment, footsteps sounded outside the door once again.
“Master, the head of the Smith family is here!” an old man hurriedly walked in and said to Kamren Arnold.
“Hmm?” Kamren Arnold was slightly surprised.
“Haha, Mr Arnold, I hope I’m not intruding!” At the same time, the voice of a middle-aged man sounded.
As his voice fell, a group of people walked in from outside the door.
The leading figure was a burly middle-aged man in his fifties, with a powerful aura and sharp eyes.
This man naturally was the current head of the Smith family, Eliezer Smith, with the cultivation of a ninth-rank Saint.
Following closely behind him was the young master of the Smith family, Darnell Smith. Aside from the two of them, there were five or six old men.
Darnell Smith noticed Billy and the others with a cold look in his eyes as soon as he entered.
“Mr Smith, you’re joking, please have a seat!” Kamren Arnold smiled and greeted him.
“Thank you!” Eliezer Smith replied before walking to a nearby seat.
Then, he looked at Billy and the others and asked, “Who are these people?”
“These are my daughter’s friends,” Kamren Arnold smiled again and looked at his daughter, Janet, saying, “Janet, please take these Mr Stuart and his group to the guest rooms to rest.”
He had already learned about what happened at the restaurant from Brenda Arnold. Having Billy and his friends leave first was to avoid any awkwardness between the two sides.
“Wait!” At this moment, Darnell Smith spoke up. “I have something to discuss with them!”
“Darnell Smith, what are you up to?” Janet’s tone was cold.
“Janet, this doesn’t concern you…” Darnell Smith replied.
“They are guests of our Arnold family. Does that not concern me?” Janet interrupted him directly.
“Besides, Brenda has already told me about what happened at the restaurant before. It was your arrogance that caused the trouble in the first place. You’d better watch yourself!”
“Janet, we’ll soon be family, and you’re speaking up for outsiders like this…” Darnell Smith frowned.
“Darnell Smith, mind your words, we’re not family yet!” Janet’s tone grew even colder. “Also, since we’re not familiar, please address me by my full name.”
“You…” Darnell Smith frowned again.
“Hehe, Janet’s straightforward nature hasn’t changed!” At this time, Eliezer Smith chuckled.
“Let me say a few words about this. I’ve heard from Darnell about what happened at the restaurant before. Initially, Darnell wasn’t targeting these friends of yours.”
“It’s just that these young men seem to enjoy meddling in others’ affairs, and they even injured members of our Smith family.”
“In consideration of the fact that they are guests of the Arnold family, as long as they apologize to Darnell verbally, this matter will be considered settled, how about it?”
“Ignorant!” Azure Fang replied immediately. “Like father, like son. It seems you’ve passed on your arrogance to him, right?”
“Huh?” A chill emanated from Eliezer Smith’s body.
“Insolent! How dare you speak to the patriarch like that, kneel down immediately!” An elder from the other side roared angrily.
“Idiot!” Ian Blade retorted coldly.
“You’re asking for death!” The elder shouted coldly, raising his hand to attack Ian Blade.
