Chapter 128 Mr Reseigh
William said, "They even dared to target the Lloyd Family. That must mean that things are not as simple- as they seem, right?"
Danny sighed softly. "Mr. Barrett, we will have no choice but to retaliate with all our might if the other party refuses to give up. Under these circumstances, I strongly suspect the interference of a powerful force behind the Greedy Wolf. Otherwise, the Greedy Wolf would never attempt such a huge risk and attack the Lloyd Family with methods that practically resemble daylight robbery."
"A third party?" William narrowed his eyes at those words. "Thank you. I see now."
After he ended the phone call, his expression remained very ugly. The underworld is far more dangerous than I imagined! I can't believe an underworld organization would dare to target the Lloyd Family so blatantly!
If a first-class wealthy family like the Lloyd Family is incapable of protecting themselves, then who else in this world is safe?
He pondered for some time before he announced, "I will remain at the Cloudcap Manor today!"
Turner, who had also sensed that something was brewing in the shadows, offered his help. "William, the
need anything from us?"
Lloyd Family has many connections. Do you?
William shook his head. "The other party is an underworld organization, so the connections of the Lloyd Family are meaningless. In this situation, we can only deal with them as they come."
A sense of terror bloomed in Tia's heart. "Can't the government help us?"
The Lloyd Family was not only related to the government of Justford but also the government of the Kreim Capital. That was one of the reasons why the Lloyd Family had always seemed like an invincible fortress.
William shook his head. "If the government steps forward, the Greedy Wolf would not dare to act rashly. But, how long can the government protect you? A year? A decade?"
She turned pale in horror. "That's just unreasonable!"
He comforted her. "Don't be scared. I'm here."
Afterward, he made a phone call and instructed Jason to send Scarlet over in the event that something should go wrong.
He then asked Turner and Tia to deliberately make casual conversation beside the listening device. They were also tasked with mentioning the Hall of the Greedy Wolf in their conversation.
Once those tasks were completed, William began to learn sword fighting from Scarlet. Scarlet's swordplay was extremely fatal, but William was already in the Spirit Cultivation Realm. Since he had already mastered the tertiary meridians, he should theoretically be able to achieve better results than Scarlet in terms of swordplay.
When Scarlet heard that William wanted to learn the sword from her, she laughed before gently turning him down, "William, my swordplay is extraordinarily difficult to master."
William replied, "It doesn't matter whether it is challenging, I will know once I've attempted to learn it

While he spoke, he took out the ancient bronze sword. There was a distinct dragon pattern running down the blade, which could be seen with the third eye. Moreover, the sword radiated with an invisible sword energy that extended half a meter from the blade. It was definitely a phenomenal blade.
In the following hours, William studied various moves under Scarlet's tutelage. Of course, Starlet also taught him seriously.
The memory of the third eye was shockingly amazing, and it only took him once to memorize each move. Combining the fact that he had mastered the tertiary meridians and that his physical fitness greatly surpassed Scarlet's, he practically breezed through his classes.
An hour later, Scarlet's eyes were filled with complete shock. That was because William had now surpassed her in swordsmanship!
"Master claimed that I was a genius, but you're the real genius!" Amazed, she gave him a thumbs-up gesture.
William explained, "It's only because my cultivation is higher than yours. I need to continue practicing the sword techniques. Otherwise, I'd get rusty in a blink of an eye."
He concentrated on practicing his swordsmanship. Time flew by quickly and it was already late evening by the time they decided to take a break. His swordsmanship had already become very proficient at this point. Scarlet's swordsmanship was rather simple. There were only nine moves. It was just that she had only learned seven moves so far, so he could only learn those seven moves from her.
While he was practicing his swordsmanship, he discovered that the sword energy would soar to more than one meter in length whenever he used the Golden Qi to activate the bronze sword. It was just that the sword energy could not be seen with the naked eye.
How strange. Just what is the sword energy? He wondered in his heart.
Among the seven moves of swordsmanship, each move was more difficult than the last. It was not until he mastered the set of swordsmanship techniques that he finally understood its true strength.
However, compared to Scarlet who had practiced swordsmanship since she was a child, he did not have a strong and powerful murderous aura. Scarlet's swordsmanship was way more vicious thanks to her
murderous aura.
Not long afterward, Tia came over to inform William and Scarlet that it was time for dinner. William was just about to head inside when his heart abruptly skipped a beat. He had seen a figure flitting through the garden.
So, he didn't hesitate to charge forward with his bronze sword in hand. He had yet to exert his full strength since he advanced into the Divine Realm. Therefore, when he took a step forward, he was somewhat surprised to learn that he had covered a distance of a dozen meters in a single step. Hence, it only took a moment for him to arrive in the garden like an arrow that was released from the
bow.
Amidst the shadows of the plants stood a man. He was wearing a grey jacket over a long robe, and his appearance resembled a person from the Ancient Kingdom of Igneus. Combined with the round glasses he wore, his appearance stood out like a sore thumb in this era.
William immediately stopped ten meters away when he caught sight of the man. Then, he observed the other party warily and questioned, "Who are you?"
It was hard to determine the man's age. He looked like he was thirty years old and fifty years old at the

same time. Although he had a genial smile on his face, he did not answer the question. "I was watching you practice the sword earlier. The swordsmanship is extremely sharp. Who is your master?"
William did not detect any hostility from this man, so he answered, "My master generally secludes himself from the world. I'm afraid you will not know of him even if I told you his name."
The man nodded slightly. I hold the surname 'Rescigh. You can call me 'Mr.
Reseigh."
William probed, "Why did you come to the Lloyd Residence? How are you related
to the Greedy Wolf?"
The man seemed surprised. "Do you know about the Greedy Wolf? It seems that you've already made preparations to face your enemies. In that case, I have made an unnecessary gesture."
William stared at the man intently. "You're not with the Greedy Wolf?"
"I am unrelated to the Greedy Wolf. The man continued with a smile, "I just happened to learn that the Hall of the Greedy Wolf is targeting the Lloyd Family. As I am reluctant to see the destruction of the Lloyd Family, I came here to issue
a warning
William breathed a sigh of relief at those words. As soon as he saw the man, he instantly realized that this man's cultivation was beyond his imagination! This man might even be a legendary Warrior King. In other words, he was a master in
the Profound Realm!
In a battle against an opponent of that level, William stood no chance of victory whatsoever! Hence, it was truly fortunate that this man was not an opponent. William immediately sheathed his sword and cupped his fists in greeting. "This junior has misunderstood you. I apologize for my discourtesy."
The man gave an indifferent smile. "It's fine."
After a pause, he couldn't help asking. You're probably one of the martial arts experts hired by the Lloyd Family, so let me ask you this. Do you have any
countermeasures against the Greedy Wolf?"
William shook his head. "Not at the moment."
Mr. Reseigh remarked, "The Hall of the Greedy Wolf is not an ordinary underworld organization. Furthermore, there is a powerful group supporting the Greedy Wolf in this endeavor."
William raised his eyebrows. "If the Greedy Wolf dares to touch the Lloyd family, I
will flatten them!"
Mr. Reseigh gave a dry laugh. "Boy, you have a fiery temper indeed, but I like
that."
Then, he pointed in the direction where William had been practicing swordplay earlier. "The girl just now... Who is she to you?"
William replied, "She is Scarlet, somebody who is like a sister to me."
"I see." Mr. Reseigh continued to/smile. "That girl has a good aptitude. Does she
have a master?"
William said. "Yes."
Mr. Reseigh immediately looked extremely disappointed upon hearing his reply.
"Is that so? That's such a
waste....

William blinked. "Senior, I presume you have noticed that Scarlet has the
Immortal Bones."
Mr. Reseigh made a soft exclamation of surprise. "So, you know about the Immortal Bones? Haha... It looks like I have underestimated you." William offered, "Scarlet's master barely pays any attention to her and constantly
leaves her to practice her swordplay alone in the wilderness. If you would be willing to take her as your disciple, it would be a wonderful thing for her."
Mr. Reseigh immediately perked up at his remarks. "Boy, can you convince her to
take me as her master?"
William laughed. "I can try. But can you help the Lloyd Family resolve their crisis
if I persuade Scarlet for you?"
Mr. Reseigh chuckled softly. "That's easy." Then, he took out a small ebony
plaque and tossed the plaque to William.
"If the Greedy Wolf comes, show them the plaque and they will retreat on their
own," he explained, looking as though he was talking about something
insignificant.
William was secretly surprised. It would seem that Mr. Reseigh was more influential than he imagined!
He quickly said, "Please give me a moment, Sir."

She inquired,
should I take him as my master?"
He answered, "He might be a Warrior King." Those words shocked her, and she gasped in astonishment, "A Warrior King?"
He nodded and glanced at her. "I believe you will have a bright future ahead of
you if you take him as your
master."
She pouted sulkily. "I don't want to. I want to stay with you, William."
He chuckled at those words. "I've never said that you would have to leave if you
become someone else's disciple."
She asked, "I won't have to leave?"

"Of course not." During their brief

"Mr. Rescigh, this is Scarlet. She has agreed to be your disciple. But she is
young and is reluctant to leave

Mr. Reseigh was overjoyed. "It doesn't matter. I only need to teach her a few
days a year. Besides, my

wander the world."
Scarlet studied Mr. Reseigh and abruptly asked, "Are you going to be my
master?"
Likewise, Mr. Reseigh was studying her too. He was liking her more and more
with every passing moment. Thus, he nodded in reply. "Yes. Are you willing?"

She raised an eyebrow at his "If to take me as a disciple. You will have to pass my test!"
Then, a sharp sword light appeared in front of him in a flash.
