DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 4664 See Him Out
Upon hearing Rex's words, Cian couldn't help but burst into laughter. His smile was so radiant, it was almost unnerving. The sight of it sent a shiver down Rex's spine.
"Cian, why are you laughing? Is there something wrong with the method I proposed? If you think a fifty- fifty split isn't appropriate, we can go sixty-forty. I'll take forty and you take sixty. How does that sound?" Rex continued.
"Rex, have you ever seen me fight over anything with you all these years? Despite being given the grueling task of guarding the prison, I never complained! But don't take me for a fool. You led a grand procession out of the city, thinking I wouldn't notice? You fought with Jaime, and both of you got hurt. Do you think I didn't know about that? You were beaten by an Ultimate Realm Level One youngster to the point of spitting blood continuously. Do you think I'm unaware of that? Why discuss cooperation with me? You couldn't handle Jaime, and now you're dragging me into this mess. I'm not that naive. While the celestial crystal vein mine is impressive, I know my own limits and don't want it. If you desire it, fight for it with your own abilities. Rest assured, even if Jaime comes looking for me, I won't help him." Rex's face instantly turned red in embarrassment.
"Cian, aren't you going to reconsider? I'm willing to increase your share!"
If it were solely based on the power of the Buckley family, it would likely be incredibly difficult to reclaim the celestial crystal vein mine.
"See him out!" Cian commanded.
At that moment, the butler walked in. "General Rex, this way please..."
Rex wanted to continue persuading him. But upon noticing Cian's demeanor, he ultimately closed his mouth, turned around, and walked out.
Cian watched Rex's retreating figure and sneered, "Trying to play mind games with me, do you think I'm a fool?"
Rex stormed out of Everett Manor, seething with anger.
Not only did he fail to enlist Cian's help, but he also ended up causing the death of his favorite woman. He felt as if he had suffered a double loss.
However, there was nothing he could do. Cian seemed to know everything, which made cooperation with him extremely difficult.
"General Rex, did General Cian refuse?" the butler of the Buckley family asked.
"Yeah, it looks like our only option is to rely on Tavon. Hopefully, he'll be able to make it here sooner this time..."
“General Rex, Mr. Lorthan is an
outsider to Beast City. If you secretly
collaborate with an outside
cultivator and let him reveal himself, won't you risk punishment?
The butler expressed his concerns with a hint of anxiety.
"I couldn't care less about any of that. With the city lord missing, who is there to punish me? Once I become the city lord, I'll be the one setting the rules for Beast City."
Rex waved his hand dismissively.
All he needed was to secure the celestial crystal vein mine, then he could use the cultivators from the
outside world to help him conquer the entire Beast City.
By then, he would be the one setting the rules, so there wouldn't be any talk of punishment.
At that time, Jared was still
relentlessly cultivating within the
celestial crystal vein mine, striving to break through to Ultimate Realm Level Two as soon as possible.
Jaime was tasked with guarding day and night, ensuring that Rex wouldn't bring his men to cause any havoc.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. During these three days, Claude and his team tirelessly mined the celestial crystals, yielding quite a fruitful harvest.
Meanwhile, in Buckley Manor, Rex spent his days in a state of restlessness.
His face was etched with wrinkles, making him appear significantly older.
"Why isn't he here yet?" Rex frowned, glancing out the window.
"Rex, were you waiting for me?"
At that moment, a boisterous voice echoed from outside.
