Alejandro Gray thought for a moment and said, “News has come from Clearwind Town that Leo has just taken over as the lord of Clearwind Town. I was planning to send Elder Freddie to congratulate him. Liberty, if you are willing, you can go with Elder Freddie.”
“Sure, I’ll go meet that guy,” Liberty agreed without hesitation.
“Liberty, you’re not young anymore. That young man named Leo seems quite good. If you like him, I can make the decision…” Alejandro Gray said with a gentle and loving look in his eyes.
“Father, what are you talking about? My standards are high, and I don’t want to get married so early. I still need to focus on my cultivation,” Liberty blushed and rolled her eyes at Alejandro Gray.
An hour later, Marquis Manor and the Watts family had already made grand preparations to head to Clearwind Town for congratulations.
Such a grand gesture had not been seen in decades.
Naturally, the other families in Zratol were not indifferent to such an event and moved upon hearing the news.
This was something Leo did not expect.
In Clearwind Town, while the cultivators were discussing the recruitment at Lord’s Manor, a convoy of fifty flaming horses pulling large red carriages loaded with generous gifts entered Clearwind Town and stopped in front of Lord’s Manor.
This scene attracted countless cultivators in Clearwind Town to watch.
“It’s the Zratol Watts family!”
“They must be here to congratulate the new lord.”
“What a grand display.”
“I heard the Watts family has a very close relationship with the lord. The downfall of the Golden Family was due to their joint efforts.”
“Look, many high-ranking members of the Watts family are here. That middle-aged man must be Wade, the head of the Watts family.”
Amidst the discussions of the cultivators, Wade and others entered Lord’s Manor.
In the hall of Lord’s Manor, Leo, Holden, Violet, and others were discussing the arrangement of formations to deal with Bloodsoul Sect.
Upon hearing the report from a servant, Leo led Violet and others to greet them in the courtyard.
“Leo, congratulations on becoming the lord of Clearwind Town,” Wade said with a smile, cupping his hands.
Beside Wade, Elder Ramon and Jaidyn also smiled and cupped their hands in congratulations.
“Haha, Leo, long time no see,” Arthur stepped out from behind the elders, grinning widely and attempting to give Leo a bear hug.
However, Lyric jumped out first and hugged Leo.
“Leo!” Lyric exclaimed happily.
“Lyric, it’s been over a month since we last met. You seem to have grown taller,” Leo said with a smile, patting Lyric’s head.
Amber also nodded and smiled at Leo.
After exchanging pleasantries, Wade noticed several young men and women behind Leo and asked, “Leo, who are these people?”
“Mr. Watts, they are my friends. Let me introduce them. This is Holden…” Leo introduced Holden, Violet, and others to the members of the Watts family.
After everyone got acquainted, Leo led the Watts family members into the hall.
“Leo, today is your big day as the new lord. Why does it seem like there are no decorations?” Wade asked, glancing around.
Leo smiled and said, “It’s just a lordship. I didn’t expect you all to be so grand.”
Leo hadn’t anticipated that the Watts family would come to Clearwind Town with such fanfare for congratulations, so he hadn’t thought about decorating Lord’s Manor.
Moreover, Leo understood that the high-ranking members of the Watts family had come with the intention of helping him against Bloodsoul Sect.
This touched Leo’s heart; it was worth helping the Watts family against the Golden Family back then.
“Leo, it’s not just our Watts family here to congratulate you today,” Wade said with a smile.
This surprised Leo. In Zratol, he was only familiar with the Watts family. Who else would come to congratulate him?
At that moment, a loud voice announced from outside: “From Zratol, Princess Liberty and Elder Freddie of Marquis Manor have come to congratulate the lord!”
People from Marquis Manor!?
After a moment of surprise, Leo understood.
That night, after he killed Water and Fire Dual Heroes and severely injured Elder Bloodmoon outside Zratol, Alejandro Gray had shown goodwill towards him and given him Marquis Manor’s VIP Token.
Wade’s face showed surprise upon hearing “Princess Liberty.”
Elder Ramon had a similar expression and said, “I heard that Liberty has been cultivating in the capital for the past few years and rarely shows up. I didn’t expect her to come here.”
In Zratol, Liberty’s reputation and talent were even greater than Anton’s.
Moreover, Wade and others had heard that after taking Ascension Pill, Liberty had already stepped into Spirit Saint.
Everyone looked towards the entrance.
A group of over ten people carrying gifts walked into the manor.
Leading them was an old man in a white robe and a young woman in a blue dress with a white skirt.
The woman’s black ponytail bounced behind her with her light steps, exuding youthful energy.
“Leo, we meet again. Congratulations,” Freddie said with a laugh as he cupped his hands upon seeing Leo.
“Elder Freddie, you’re too kind,” Leo responded with a slight smile and cupped his hands in return.
Leo had met this white-robed elder beside Alejandro Gray that night.
Freddie pointed to the young woman beside him and introduced her: “Leo, let me introduce you. This is Princess Liberty of Marquis Manor.”
As Freddie introduced Liberty, her bright eyes were also sizing up Leo.
From her first impression, Liberty found the young man before her quite pleasing. Additionally, he had an indescribable unique aura about him.
“Princess Liberty, hello,” Leo said with a slight smile as he looked at Liberty.
“Hehe, you’re called Leo, right? My father says you’re very impressive. I’d like to spar with you sometime,” Liberty said with a smile.
Leo waved his hand and said, “Princess Liberty, you’re too kind. Please come inside.”
With that, Leo led everyone into the hall.
Holden, Violet, Amber, Arthur, and Liberty quickly started chatting together as they were all young people.
“Elder Noah and Elder Archie approached respectfully and asked: “Lord, there might be other families coming to congratulate you later. Should we make some arrangements?”
Leo thought for a moment and nodded.
Since both the Watts family and Marquis Manor had come, other families in Zratol might also want to show their goodwill.
“Leave the arrangements to you two. Let’s make today lively,” Leo instructed.
“Yes, Lord!” Elder Noah and Elder Archie gladly accepted the task and left.
