Chapter 53
Chapter 53It was a gilded gift certificate in the letter.
James saw the gift certificate from afar.
After all, he was only qualified to look at it from a distance.
It was a gift certificate that could be used for William’s inscription.
By using the gift certificate, one would not only get William’s inscription, but they would not need to pay
any fee either.
Not more than three families in the entire Evergreen Town had received the Oceans Chamber of
Commerce gift certificate.
James felt as if his knees went weak.
Besides, he knew well that William did not give the voucher to him for no reason.
He did this because of Hezti!
At that moment, those elders behind James’s back could not utter a single word.
Instead, all of them stared at the voucher in surprise, and their eyes glistened with terrifying lights.
These people felt as if blood was surging into their heads.
With a loud thud, Keith fell and sat on his chair.
His face was so ashen as if he had lost his soul.
“What happened?”“What’s going on?”
The other Lawrence family members all looked at each other in confusion as they did not know what
happened.
Hezti was puzzled too.
Based on James and the others’ attitude, Hezti could tell that the Oceans Chamber of Commerce did
not cause any trouble for him, and the result of the verification was undoubtedly satisfactory.
His inscription skill was also the trump card he wanted to use to impress James.
However, James and the rest’s reactions exceeded his expectations.
Later, James took a few deep breaths to let himself calm down.
Nonetheless, there was a noticeable blush on his face.
If it were not for his great breathing techniques, James’s brain‘s blood vessels might have burst from
the excitement he felt just now.
James swept his gaze across the crowd, and he announced, “Molie’s inscription was personally verified
by the Oceans Chamber of Commerce’s Master William.
Furthermore, Molie’s inscription skill was also highly praised by Master William…”
Before James even finished his sentence, the crowd burst into an uproar.
All of the Lawrence family members’ jaws dropped.
Everyone there heard of William’s name before.Although William had no impressive family background, no one dared to provoke him in the entire
Evergreen Town!
He was truly someone influential! This influential man personally guaranteed Hezti’s work, but he even
praised Mandra.
Until this day, none of the family members of the prominent families in the Evergreen Town received
such honor before!
Even Hezti was surprised when he heard that news, and brilliant lights flashed in his eyes.‘Master
William? The name sounded familiar, but I don’t remember knowing such a person.
Why did he help me?’ Hezti secretly wondered.
Nevertheless, Hezti did not show his doubt.
After all, the expressions of the surrounding people explained it all.
“Do you still dare to doubt Molie?” James looked at the crowd.
Who would still dare to say anything ill about Hezti?
He was only 16 years old, but he was a fourth-stage True Martial Realm warrior.
Hezti was not only talented, but he also mastered the inscription skill, and he even got William’s
support.
If someone said something terrible about Joe, that person was digging his own grave.
James was pacing back and forth as he rejoiced, “Great! This is amazing! Molie, you’ve given me a
great surprise! It seems that the Lawrence family did not choose the wrong person! I must tell father
about this great news so that he’ll get out soon.I’m sure he’ll be elated to meet you.
However, I don’t even know how I should reward you.”
James’s attitude caused Keith’s expression to turn uglier than before, and he was now grabbing tightly
on the chair handle, almost destroying it.
Suddenly, James stopped in his tracks and turned to Mandra.
“Molie, what type of reward do you want? Let me know, and I’ll agree to your request.”
Hezti looked around and pondered for a moment.
Soon, he answered, “Uncle James, I didn’t do much today, and I was just showing you what I’ve
learned before.
novelbinHence, I’m not sure why I must be rewarded.”
“Sssh…”
The council chamber echoed with the sound of the crowd gasping.
Everyone could tell that Hezti took one step back to take two steps ahead.
His appetite was enormous, and he wanted a bigger reward.
James also thought about it for a while, and he replied, “What happened today almost wronged you.
First, as the head of the Lawrence family, I should compensate for that.
Secondly, since we’re already a family, I won’t beat around the bushes either.
Since there are many seniors in this room, I also happen to have a news announcement.”When Hezti heard James’ last sentence, he felt his heart beating faster.
On the contrary, Keith felt his heart stop beating.
James already continued, “In two more months, the Dark Moon Sect will be in Evergreen Town to
select talents among the outstanding children of prominent families and accept them as disciples.
Those eligible to become Dark Moon Sect disciples are determined through competition.
As for our Lawrence family, we’ll have two participants at that time.
Moreover, I’ve already decided that we’ll select the two through a competition among the younger
generation of our family, and the time will be fifteen days from now.”
The news about the Dark Moon Sect accepting disciples was not announced until today.
Before this, only James and a few of the Lawrence family seniors knew about this.
Most of the family members present were unaware of this event.
When they heard the news, their ears pricked up, and they appeared excited.
Soon, James added, “All younger generations under the age of sixteen in our family are eligible to
participate in the selection, and the final top two will be selected to participate in the Evergreen Town
competition.
Of course, the top two will get the full support of the entire family, and they can even enter the third
floor of the chamber martial arts to learn Earth Grade martial skills!”
The crowd once again burst into an uproar!The Lawrence family only had two Earth Grade martial skills.
If they could learn it, it not only proved their strength but also their status in the family.
From a certain point of view, if one were qualified to learn Earth Grade martial arts, then even if they
could not be the head of the family in the future.
They would still be a very high-ranking member of the clan!
Later, James’s sight fell on Joe, and his smile reached his eyes as he said, “Although Hezti isn’t a
member of the Lawrence family, he’s set to marry George.
Thus, I think that letting him join the family competition is fair, and no one will disagree, right?”
When he said that, the atmosphere in the air became tense.
The happy expression on everyone’s faces suddenly froze.
Nevertheless, James acted as he did not sense the change of energy, and he turned to Joe, “Molie, are
you willing to fight for the gateway to immortality for our Lawrence family?”
Before Hezti could answer James, Keith suddenly jumped out and roared, “James! This is
inappropriate!”
As he was too agitated, one could see bulging veins on Keith’s forehead.
