Chapter 808: The Characters Inside the Jade Pendant

Book:A King Reborn in Shadows Published:2025-2-13

“Some characters?” Flynn sat up in surprise.
“That’s right, but I don’t recognize that kind of language. It looks very complex,” Jessica Carr said.
Flynn quickly got dressed, saying, “Ms. Carr, please wait. I’ll come over right away!”
After hanging up the phone, Flynn freshened up and casually put on some casual clothes before leaving the house.
After healing Mrs. Sheppard last time, she rewarded Flynn with a payment of thirty million dollars. Flynn handed it over to Jessica Carr, who then used the money to buy a house in the city.
After getting the address, Flynn drove down from Plenilune Mountain.
At this moment, news began to spread throughout Niarak.
At noon, Jack Jenkins would go to challenge Lord Valerian Nox at the top of Jade Dragon Mountain, and all the top-tier families from Pelens came to Niarak.
Bobby Sheppard brought his daughter, Peyton Sheppard, with him.
Peter Gray and his grandson Rolando Gray came as well.
Adria Langford came alone because his son had been crippled by Flynn.
These were all familiar faces. Flynn had defeated them all during his last visit to Pelens.
Except for Bobby Sheppard, none of them knew that Lord Valerian Nox was actually Flynn.
After all, when Flynn last dominated the top families of Pelens, he used his connections and influence.
At the Gray family banquet, when Flynn injured Jiri Langley, he only displayed a fraction of his power.
As a result, everyone thought that Flynn was at most a Grandmaster and didn’t match up to Lord Valerian Nox’s strength.
They came mainly for Jack Jenkins.
They wanted to witness the power of a Semi-Greater Sovereign!
The elites from the surrounding six cities also came.
Even a few super-rich individuals from other states came as well.
The business district was bustling, and the people from the martial arts world were even more excited. Countless strong individuals were rushing here.
It was estimated that there would be over a thousand Inner Force Masters in attendance.
Among them were many Grandmasters.
Everyone wanted to secure a good position before Jack Jenkins and Zion Watson arrived so they could watch the brilliance of a Semi-Greater Sovereign up close.
It was only a little after eight in the morning, and there were already more than a dozen luxury cars gathered at the foot of Jade Dragon Mountain.
And there were hundreds more on their way here.
A Semi-Greater Sovereign!
Just as rare as a dragon descending to earth.
In no time, Niarak became the center of attention in Shipmeda State. Everyone looked forward to this great battle.
Based on fragments of information they had heard, the public agreed that this battle was without suspense.
Jack Jenkins could defeat Lord Valerian Nox with just one move.
Everyone was eagerly waiting to see how Jack Jenkins would deal with Lord Valerian Nox.
It seemed like Jade Dragon Mountain’s summit would be leveled…
At this moment, Flynn was completely unaware of the situation. He followed the address Jessica Carr had given him and arrived at the neighborhood where she lived.
The area was bustling with activity, cars and people coming and going.
After exchanging a few pleasantries upon entering, Flynn immediately picked up the jade pendant and held it up to the light to examine it.
He had studied this pendant before.
The jade was crystal clear, with a dragon and phoenix intricately carved on the front. On the back, a single word was inscribed-Giovanny.
The jade was high-quality and could easily sell for millions of dollars.
But for Flynn, it was too ordinary.
If he wanted this kind of jade, he could get hundreds of pieces easily.
However, according to Jessica Carr, this jade pendant was carved by his mother’s own hands and held deep meaning for him.
That was why Flynn hurried over as soon as Jessica Carr called him about it.
The two hidden words inside might reveal some information.
Sure enough, under the light, two characters appeared inside the jade pendant.
They seemed to be ancient scripts.
The characters were intricately composed, and Flynn couldn’t make out what these two characters meant either.
“I can only find someone who understands,” he said to himself.
He took a photo and sent it to Bobby Sheppard before calling him directly. “Do you know any history professors at Pelens University? I need someone to help me with these two characters.”
Bobby Sheppard was on his way to Niarak when he received Flynn’s call. How could he dare to neglect it?
After all, this person was King of the Underworld!
Lord Valerian Nox from Demon Island Prison!
He came to Niarak just to witness Lord Valerian Nox’s power!
“This is perfect timing.” Bobby Sheppard smiled after looking at the photo and turned to an old man next to him. “Mr. Lorty, can you help me with these two characters?”
Saul Lorty smiled and said, “Mr. Sheppard is too polite. It’s just a small favor.”
“If it wasn’t for your notification today, I wouldn’t have had a chance to come to Niarak to witness this great battle.”
The old man’s name was Saul Lorty, president of Pelens University. Despite being a university president, his position was equivalent to that of a government official.
Saul Lorty had a passion for martial arts and maintained a good relationship with the Sheppard family. Bobby Sheppard had even donated fifty million to Pelens University.
They were quite close.
Bobby Sheppard, knowing Saul Lorty’s preferences, invited him to Niarak after he heard about the major event. Seeing the old man’s eagerness, he smiled and handed him his phone.
This was the power of connections.
As the president of the Dragon Creek Society, Bobby Sheppard had nearly established a direct line to the upper echelons of Pelens.
“Oh? It’s simple. These two characters mean ‘Dragon Seal,'” the old man said, his eyes fixed on the phone, recognizing it in less than a second.
“Some high-end jade pendants are wary of imitation, so they often use special methods to include the place of origin.”
“If I’m not mistaken, ‘Dragon Seal’ should refer to the place of origin.”
“Oh! Thank you so much! Mr. Lorty, you’ve been a great help! I’m calling Mr. Clark right now.” Bobby Sheppard was thrilled and immediately began to dial Flynn’s number.
He didn’t mind the hassle. On the contrary, he hoped Flynn could call him daily for help!
This was a great honor!
Ever since the incident at the Gray family, Flynn’s reputation had soared, and Bobby Sheppard had basked in the glow of Flynn’s fame. After the event, every prominent family head in Pelens greeted him warmly, their politeness bordering on excessive.
Why was that?
They all acknowledged Bobby Sheppard as part of Flynn’s circle!
“Mr. Sheppard, you’re too kind,” Saul Lorty replied with a slight smile, then asked, “I’ve known you for over a decade, but this is the first time I’ve seen you so anxious.”
“I’m curious, who is this Mr. Clark that has you so invested?”
Bobby Sheppard’s unusual behavior had caught Saul Lorty’s attention. He had nearly jolted when he saw the phone number. Once the call connected, his demeanor became excessively respectful, almost as if he were a servant speaking to a master.
Bobby Sheppard paused, a mysterious smile on his face. “Mr. Lorty, this person is the big shot who made the Pelens elite bow their heads at the Gray family banquet.”
“He’s also the main character in the battle that’s set to take place this afternoon!”
“What?!” Saul Lorty’s demeanor changed instantly, and his expression was one of shock.
“Mr. Sheppard, this is a tremendous opportunity! You must introduce me!”
This was the man whom even Rocco Spencer and Adam Davies praised, the one who killed Stellan Wallace!
This man had the most powerful connections in Shipmeda State!
Before coming here, Bobby Sheppard had confidently declared that Lord Valerian Nox would win, indicating that this individual was at least of Greater Sovereign caliber.
It was terrifying!
Even a fool wouldn’t pass up such a chance to connect.
“Mr. Lorty, please try to remain calm. If I get the opportunity, I’ll certainly say some good words for you. However, what happened at the Gray family banquet is strictly confidential, as per Rocco Spencer’s orders.”
“You must keep it under wraps,” Bobby Sheppard added before dialing Flynn’s number.
Mr. Lorty’s eyes sparkled with excitement as he nodded repeatedly. “I understand! Mr. Sheppard, don’t worry. I’ll keep it to myself…”
“Dragon Seal? Place of origin?” Flynn pondered after Bobby Sheppard’s introduction before hanging up the phone.
Was there such a place in Ostrad?
He had never heard of it!
“Ms. Carr, did my mother mention where Dragon Seal is located during her college days?”
“And what does ‘Giovanny’ mean, which is written on the back of the pendant?”
