Chapter 48
“Stop Spurting nonsense!” Jordan’s father instantly rushed out and cursed at Mozart.
Then, he pointed at Sandra and roared, “That’s just a third-grade weapon, so why would Jordan be interested in it! Stop trying to find excuses!”
Keith warned, “Rose, even if you want to find an excuse, you should make up a believable one.
Do you think that Jordan would be interested in your third-grade spear? Or perhaps you think the Lawrence family members are all fools?”
Previously, Keith treated Sandra ruthlessly.
Now, he was aiming at Mozart.
With one sentence, Keith managed to put Sandra against the entire Lawrence family.
Hence, his viciousness was evident.
The atmosphere in the council chamber instantly became denser, and all the pressure was on Mozart.
If he did not provide a satisfactory explanation, Sandra might die a horrible death!
However, there was no panic on Sandra’s face.
Instead, he looked at Keith and sneered, “Master Keith, are you sure that my spear is just a third-grade weapon?”
Keith laughed menacingly.
“Of course, I’m confident about it.
Moreover, I know that your Silver Scales Spear came from our Lawrence family…”
“Wait a minute!”
Before Keith could finish his sentence, James interrupted him.
Keith looked at James in surprise.
He instantly noticed that not only James’s gaze changed, but even the few elders sitting beside him were also stunned, and they were breathing fast.
One of the elders was so excited that one could see his violently undulating chest.
Unfortunately, his appearance could easily cause others to misunderstand that he was an old bachelor that had just married a beautiful wife.
“Seriously? It’s just a third-grade Silver Scales Spear.
Moreover, our family gave it to him.
Why are you guys so agitated?” Keith could not help but complain.
“Shut up! Don’t say anything if you know nothing!” James roared, which stunned Keith.
The other Lawrence family members were also dumbfounded, and they did not know what was happening.
Keith’s expression immediately changed, but he did not say anything.
Then, when he lowered his head, a hint of resentment flashed in his eyes.
Just as everyone was puzzled as to why James’ behavior abruptly switched, one of the elders suddenly said, “Rose… You… Take the Silver Scales Spears over, and let us have a closer look…”
When the elder spoke, his tone was flat, and he did not even blink but just stared at the Silver Scales Spear.
The gleaming light in his eyes was terrifying, and others could not help but doubt if he would grab the Silver Scales Spear and swallow it whole.
Sandra snorted and cast a glance at the elder, obviously implying that if he wanted to have a look at Sandra’s spear, he should walk over instead.
After all, Sandra understood that James and the few elders noticed the Silver Scales Spear’s secret.
Since that was the case, Sandra wanted to make sure these people felt his confidence.
That way, he could resolve today’s crisis.
Just as when the elder was hesitating, James already stood up and swiftly rushed toward Mozart.
Buzz!
The pressure in the air caused a muffled sound to be produced.
Then, James quickly plucked the Silver Scales Spear from the ground and inspected it.
Soon, his eyes were lit up.
“What is it!” One of the elders asked anxiously.
Keith also looked over curiously.
He wanted to know why they were making a fuss over a third-grade Silver Scales Spear.
James turned to the elders and nodded solemnly, answering, “It’s an inscription…”
“Hahahaha! I wondered what the fuss was about.
It’s just an inscrip…” Keith laughed mockingly, but he soon realized what James was talking about, and his face fell.
“What! An inscription! How is that possible!”
Not only Keith, but the rest of the Lawrence family members present were also in disbelief, and they all turned their focus on the Silver Scales Spear.
At that moment, the crowd’s heartbeats echoed in the council chamber.
After a while, Keith stuttered, “You… You’re joking, right… Only mid-rank weapons can be inscribed… The Silver Scales Spear is only a third-grade weapon…”
Those elders could no longer hold back their excitement, and they left their seats and quickly approached James.
James showed the Silver Scales Spear to them.
Between the few elders, there were three cultivators, just like James.
Hence, their experiences were naturally different from others.
With just a glance, they could confirm that the layer of pattern on the Silver Scales Spears was indeed an inscription!
“An inscription that’s engraved on a third-grade weapon…” One of the elders pondered.
Then, with a burning gaze, he glared at Sandra and shouted, “Rose! Where did you get this inscription from!”
The imposing manner of a cultivator surprised Barne, and he felt suffocated.
Sandra instantly felt as if his blood froze, and it was as if that person was controlling even his subconscious.
Nonetheless, Sandra survived through wars, and the murderous aura when he was facing thousands of enemies was far more intense than this Pulse Control Realm cultivator.
Hence, he was only dazed for a second and quickly recovered.
Next, Sandra hugged his elbows and answered indifferently, “I drew it myself.”
“You’re lying!” Another elder with a white beard yelled.
Sandra looked at him and asked with a faint smile, “Do you know what’s the consequences of questioning an inscription apprentice?”
The bearded elder instantly felt his scalp go numb.
His mouth twitched, but in the end, he did not say anything.
Once again, the Lawrence family members were in an uproar.
The bearded elder was a Pulse Control Realm cultivator, yet after Sandra contradicted him, he did not dare to say anything at all.
However, the most surprising thing was that Sandra admitted that he was an inscription apprentice.
There were only less than three apprentices in the entire Evergreen Town, and they were all in the Oceans Chamber of Commerce.
Any other families tried to cultivate an inscription apprentice of their own family as hard as they could but failed.
Now that Sandra said he was an apprentice, it was as if they received unbelievable news, and everyone’s mind was blown away.
However, they could not say anything at all, and it felt extremely uncomfortable.
Nonetheless, the most surprised person was Keith, whose jaw dropped as he stared at Sandra wide- eyed.
James was the chief, and he was also the one who reacted the fastest.
Next, James returned the Silver Scales Spear to Sandra and patted Sandra’s shoulder as if he was comforting him.
Later, he called the elders to return to their seats, and he looked at Barne, asking, “Rose, my child.
I’ve never had the chance to spend time with you since you arrived.
This news is extremely shocking.
Why don’t you explain it to me?”
Everyone instantly noticed the changes in James’s attitude.
