"For a moment back there I was actually scared!" Mason pats his chest dramatically and inhales. "Oh, brother you sure know how to get someone riled up for nothing! Ah, I'd thought you were going to ask for something impossible or extremely difficult, but turns out it's just for me to release this old bull! Hah! Was all that suspense necessary?" He pouts as if a kid begging for candy from his parents."Are you making the promise, or not?" Michael retorts coldly, not in the mood to play any silly jokes with him."Of course, I am! Why wouldn't I?" He lifts his gaze and stands upright as he declares vociferously, "Today, in the presence of everyone here, I, Mason Hutton, promise on my wife's head that I'll hand over Supreme Doctor Hong to my brother, Michael Hutton, the moment he makes me Patriarch!"He sways his gaze back to Michael and shrugs nonchalantly, "Isn't that what you requested? As you can see, I've done it! It wasn't much of a big deal to begin with! Anyway, it's your turn now

"Of course! But just give me a minute," Mason retorts with a grin. "I need to be sure you truly signed that document!""Not everyone is sly and deceitful like you!" Michael hisses at him."That is a good thing to know then," he smirks and with his eyes fixed on Michael, gently lowers himself and picks up the document. "Don't try anything stupid because if you do, your father figure wouldn't live to tell the story!" The next second, he viciously threatens Michael as he drifts his gaze away from him to the document in his hand.At this moment, Michael is so tempted to ignore Mason's threat, dart toward him and launch an unexpected attack, but as he sees that Mason's left hand is tightly holding the dagger to Supreme Doctor Hong's neck and also covering the part of his neck that has been slashed, stopping it from continuing to bleed, he decides against it.Mason has never been dull. And, despite that, he has extraordinary speed, he doubts he would be fast enough to rescue Supreme Doctor H

"I'm sorry for my sudden skepticism, Sire, but how certain are we that this lad of the Huttons is truly the renowned Python Lord? "From your statement just now, you declared that he wasn't supposed to die, but the lad in this grave died, turned cold, and has been six feet for more than six bloody hours. How confident are you that you're not mistaken him to be who he isn't?" One of the burly figures, instead of doing as he was told, implores diffidently, not daring to look the old man in the eyes!"That is not all," before the old man can even respond to the first, the other burly figure continues from where he stopped. "I'd gone over his details not long ago, and not only did he grow up in an orphanage with nothing to his name, but he's also nineteen years! He only just realized his identity as the heir of the Huttons, but that doesn't still change the fact that he is only nineteen years! How can a lad like him be the greatest martial arts expert alive and Lord of the Ocean Lords? No

"Sire, I think we forgot to take care of something before leaving the Huttons' Mansion," outside the Hutton family Mansion, Chester stops walking, sways his gaze to the old man, and says worriedly."And what is that?" The old man asks indifferently, without bothering to stop."Well," Chester says, nervously scratching his hair. "You said we shouldn't leave any traces behind, but I think we forgot to cover our trails, as well as the part of the ground that I and Rome cracked when we jumped out of the grave.""Should I applaud you for remembering such important things like those at this late moment?" The old man hisses and looks toward him with a scowl on his face."Uhm, I-" he trails off not knowing what to say. He'd totally forgotten about that! Humans are prone to forget things, aren't they? How then is it his fault that he forgot?This is the reply he wishes to give to the old man, but knowing how temperamental and cold he can be, he sure decides otherwise and lowers his head."You

After driving nonstop for more than an hour, Rome finally drives into an old gigantic Sanctuary and neatly parks in the nave.At one sight at this Sanctuary, anyone who had heard the old man describing it earlier would immediately begin to wonder why he chose to describe the Sanctuary in such a negative light and as if it were one hellhole to live in, or if he simply lacked the proficiency to describe things as they are.This is due to the fact that the wall of this magnificent Sanctuary is still colorful. It is painted white and dazzling gold, and while the colors are fading, it will take another two years for them to fade completely. The Sanctuary is nearly as tall as a skyscraper, and its top with a cross on it reflects the rays of the glowing moon. In the front of the Sanctuary is a gigantic entrance door, which is often referred to as the Western door, and there are two arches on both sides leading out to the green fields surrounding the building. There are steep concrete steps
