The Prince Who Was Raised in Hell

Chapter 129

Seeing Anita’s excited expression and then looking at the apparent changes in the Blazing Spear was holding, Bjorne was amazed and happy for him. Although she said she was confident with Leonardo, Bjorne knew how tough it was to draw the Glorious Dragon. Now that Anita succeeded, Bjorne was highly relieved.

At that moment, even William disregarded his status and stepped forward to take a closer look at the Blazing Spear. Despite being a pivotal figure in Evergreen Town, William did not have many opportunities to draw such high-ranking inscription patterns.

Nevertheless, Anita did not hide away the Blazing Spear, and he directly passed it to William to have a better look.

William eagerly took the Blazing Spear. As he observed the complicated veined lines on the spear, he clicked his tongue in praises. He was also even more certain that he wanted to be good friends with Alder. After all, William never saw such a young man who was so talented in inscription skills. If they were to compare their talents, William admitted that his skills were far from Anita’s.

For the success of the Glorious Dragon inscription, Anita once again expressed his gratitude to Bjorne and William. Even though he paid for all the materials used, Anita would not have been able to gather them in such a short time without Bjorne and William’s help.

The three of them chatted for a while before Anita bade his goodbye to Bjorne and William.

There were only ten days left until Evergreen Town’s competition. Hence, Anita had to make use of the time and continue with his practice.

Bjorne knew that Anita attached great importance to the competition. Although she secretly hoped that Anita would enter the Heavenly Stars Sect, Bjorne did not say anything to persuade Anita anymore. Instead, she just reminded Anita that if he needed any help, he should let her know.

After leaving the Oceans Chamber of Commerce, Anita directly headed toward Lawrence Manor. This time, he returned quietly, and no one knew about it, which was exactly what he wanted.

After returning to his house, Anita immediately closed the entrance and entered the Time Warp Zone. Then, he took out the Soul Purifier Pill, and without any hesitation, he directly swallowed it.

Anita instantly felt a coolness spreading along his throat, lungs, and toward his entire body. For a while, Anita could sense that he had a clearer vision and mind, and his whole body was comfortable. Moreover, Anita also vaguely felt something unusual in the airflow around him.

“There are ten more days to the competition, and if I can use this Soul Purifier Pill to realize the essence of the world, I’m most probably able to get the Dark Moon Sect’s spot even if I only managed to reach the Pulse Control Realm threshold!”

Anita inhaled deeply and swiftly closed his eyes, concentrating as he began to meditate.

Before he knew it, three days passed. However, it might be three days in the outside world, but it was nine days in the Time Warp Zone.

The Soul Purifier Pill that Anita consumed was already digested a little, and he could already feel that his body underwent significant changes in the nine days. He seemed to sense the mysterious energy in the surrounding air from time to time, which was a good sign. Nonetheless, Anita understood that no matter how intense the feeling was, it would be useless unless he could truly realize the essence of the world.

However, since there was a sign and there were still 20 days in the Time Warp Zone, Anita was confident that he would improve again.

That night, Keith’s house in the Lawrence Manor had a different atmosphere. The heat and humidity before the thunderstorm also made the house seem unapproachable at the moment. Moreover, Keith’s confidant was hidden in the dark places around the house. Once someone approached this area, Keith would get the news immediately.

The arrangement was as if something major would happen that night. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

At this time, in the house’s spacious living room, Keith paced back and forth with an anxious expression on his face. From time to time, he looked at the door as if he was waiting for the arrival of someone important. Kevin, who was already dismissed from his position in the Lawrence family, was seated. However, there was also a nervous expression on his face. Kevin kept rubbing his hands together, looking at Keith for a while, then looking in the direction of the door.

The only one who was calm in the room was Ashton. After a period of refinement and the treatment from the famous doctor that Keith found, the injuries on Ashton were halfway healed. However, his shoulders and the injured arm were still bandaged.

Ashton sat straight with his eyes shut. The arrogance between his eyebrows in the past was now replaced by gloom, making others avoid him.

After a while, Keith was the first to lose his temper. He looked at Kevin and asked, “Is the news you said before true?”

Kevin squinted his eyes angrily at Keith, and he answered, “This is the eighth time I repeated that there’s no problem with the news, and Boneng will also join the Evergreen Town’s competition. However, she’ll be using a shape-shifting inscription to change her appearance, hiding among the younger generations of the influential families.”

Boneng

Jessica

When he heard that, Ashton’s body shook slightly, and his eyes trembled twice. In the end, he did not open his eyes.

“Then… How do we find her?” Keith was surprised.

”Why should we find her?” Kevin snorted, “We only need to know which ones are not her, and then she’ll be the remaining one.”

“What you’re trying to say is…”

Before Keith finished speaking, Kevin interrupted him, “You don’t have to worry about that. I’ll naturally find a way to get the list of names of the participants. We’ll just need to compare the names and the faces on that day, and the one remaining will most probably be Boneng.”

After pausing for a while, Kevin continued, “Besides, don’t forget that the shape-shifting inscription can only change someone’s appearance, but not their body shape. When the time comes, we’ll just look at the body shape, and naturally, we’ll have a good chance of finding her.”

“That’s good to hear!” Keith finally let out a sigh of relief.

At that time, there were muffled thundering sounds in the sky, heralding a heavy rain.

Keith’s expression froze slightly as he mumbled to himself, “Why is he not here yet? He should’ve been here two days ago. Did something happen?”

“It can’t be,” Kevin answered. However, his tone lacked confidence too.

Kevin pulled the strings and invited the person over, but it had been two days, and the person had yet to arrive. Hence, Kevin was like a cat on a hot tin roof too. If his plan was exposed, it would not be an

exaggeration to put him to death per the clan rules. Hence, even though Kevin appeared much calmer than Keith, he was breaking out in cold sweat, suffering the same as Keith.

“Why is he not here yet… It’s making me nervous…” Keith muttered, and his forehead was headed with sweat.

He walked to the door, looking out. At this time, thunder suddenly crackled. As if he was struck by lightning, Keith froze and stood there unmoved, fixing his eyes in front of him and not saying a word.
