Episode 6: The Road to Revenge Chapter 27: Wine

Linley couldn’t help but turn his head towards the hall door.

Dressed in red robes, Gilmer’s waist was straight and his smile was gracious. His gaze was stern and resolute, and he was followed by two white-clothed priests. Gilmer stepped into the door of the hall with great strides.

“This Gilmer has arrived. I hope Clyde comes a little slower.”

Linley looked forward in his heart.

This one plan of his. The only weakness was that Clyde would be arriving at the same time as a rank nine magus, after all, the hemolytic poison was ineffective against magi.

Linley immediately stood up. Stepping forward, he said, “Lord Gilmer.”

“Linley. Look at you. Your face is so pale, quickly sit down.”

Gilmer immediately took two steps forward to choose Linley.

“Lord Gilmer, it’s fine, although I have injured my internal organs by practicing fighting qi, I still have no problem moving normally. Only a pity. At least for some time recently, I won’t be able to cultivate fighting qi.”

Linley sighed and said.

“You still want to cultivate at this time?” Gilmer said in annoyance, “External injuries are easy to heal. But this internal injury can be dangerous. If you don’t recuperate, you will suffer from it for the rest of your life.”

“Thank you Lord Gilmer for your concern.”

Linley had a soft spot for Gilmer. There was also a good feeling about it. Linley glanced towards the hall door without free will, “This Clyde. I hope it comes a little late.”

Yesterday’s heavy snowfall had made Finlay City very cold, and the road in front of the royal palace was still extremely sparse, while at the moment an escort team of over a hundred people was protecting a luxurious golden-colored carriage out of the gates of the royal palace.

“Crunch~” the carriage wheels pressed on the snow.

“Ransom, open the carriage door.”

Clyde ordered.

The interior space of this carriage was extremely large, I’m afraid that five or six people coming in wouldn’t be too crowded, this Ransom was precisely Clyde’s personal court attendant, Ransom immediately answered, “Yes. Your Majesty.”

He immediately lifted the curtains of the car door, and immediately a cold air invaded in.

However, both Ransom and Clyde were not the least bit afraid of the cold. That Clyde was more just an inner undergarment. And Ransome was wearing a traditional courtesan’s uniform. On the other hand, he was wearing the clothing of a traditional sex court attendant.

“This Linley, even practicing fighting qi has injured his internal organs. Really.”

Clyde couldn’t help but sigh with a smile.

Ransom echoed in a low voice, “That Lord Linley is so young. To have such an achievement. Even if one’s talent is high, one still needs to practice hard. A warrior who can cultivate fighting qi to the point of injuring his internal organs. One can also see the extent of his cultivation.”

The human body. The limit may be very high.

But every time to stimulate the potential. Can’t be too big, this warrior cultivation, diligence and hard work is good. But also can not cultivate too much, so that the body can not withstand.

“Yes. This Linley. There’s no limit to his future achievements.”

Clyde nodded in agreement.

Ransom looked at Clyde’s face in secret amazement.

As Clyde’s personal court attendant, he knew his master very well, and with Clyde’s domineering personality, he was rarely so polite to a person. But for Linley, Clyde had never been polite from start to finish.

“It’s a pity that back then, His Majesty, alas, His Majesty knew that he had no hope of stepping into the Holy Realm, and that’s why he paid so much attention to Linley.”

Ransom knew Clyde’s secret very well.

Although Clyde was a ninth level powerhouse. Yet Ransom knew …… that unless the Lord of Light sent down divine power to help. Otherwise it would be impossible for Clyde to step into the Holy Realm in his lifetime.

“Your Majesty, Lord Linley’s residence is arriving.”

Ransom said softly.

Through the door of the car, the gate of Linley’s mansion not far away could be clearly seen, and at that moment there were two tiger-backed, strong warriors standing at the gate, and these two warriors were none other than the elite figures from the Order of the Illuminati’s Ace Knights.

“Creak!” The carriage stopped.

Ransom was the first to get out of the carriage, and then respectfully waited for Clyde to step out of the carriage.

“Greetings, Your Majesty.”

The two warriors who were watching the door both bowed and said.

“Oh, someone came before me?” Clyde noticed another luxurious carriage parked to the side, along with a group of Light Templar knights staying over there.

“Yes earth. Lord Gilmer has already come.”

One of the knights who was watching the door there replied respectfully.

“Lord Gilmer has come? Just as well.”

Clyde looked back at his party. “You all stay here. Ransom. Follow me in.”

Said. Clyde then took his personal attendant and then stepped through the gate of the mansion.

At this moment, Linley was still talking to Gilmer. He didn’t realize that Clyde had already arrived at the gate.

“This Gilmer isn’t leaving yet?” Linley was a little anxious in the bottom of his heart.

If Gilmer continued to talk to him like this, what was he going to talk about, the longer this dragged on, the more troublesome it would be. Linley’s heart was in a hurry, and he immediately covered his mouth.

“Cough. Cough!” Linley coughed several times in succession. Coughing, his pale face turned red.

“Linley.”

Gilmer was taken aback.

He hadn’t expected Linley to be so severely injured.

“Linley, the medicine I brought you should be taken properly, it’s restorative for the internal organs of the body.”

Gilmer said in a hurry. “You’re not in good health. Then rest early, I won’t be here to disturb your rest.”

With that Gilmer stood up.

After coughing. Linley’s face paled even more without a trace of blood.

“Lord Gilmer, I’m truly sorry.”

Linley said apologetically.

“It’s fine. You rest well. The body is most important.”

Gilmer instructed twice. Then he led the two white-clothed priests out of the room.

Then Clyde brought Ransom with him. He had just stepped through the door of Linley’s residence when he heard a cry from behind, “Your Majesty. Your Majesty.”

Clyde turned his head to look in confusion. Only to see Merit quickly jumping down from the carriage, “Your Majesty.”

“Merit, you’re here too?” Clyde smiled and stopped to wait for Merit.

Merit ran to Clyde. Complimented, “Lord Linley is injured, how could I not come? Your Majesty. Why did you just bring Ransom in alone, it’s not safe!” Merit hurriedly persuaded.

The king went to a courtier’s house. Usually the escorting men and horses were brought in directly.

One was for security reasons. The second was also to show off the king’s position of power.

“No need, I’m just here to see Linley, no need to make a big deal out of it.”

Clyde laughed, “What’s more, in this part of Finlay City, who else do you think can threaten me?” Clyde’s confidence wasn’t unwarranted.

First of all, general ninth level powerhouses. Clyde didn’t fear them at all, and the only ones who really made Clyde fear them were those who had reached the Holy Realm, but would a Holy Realm powerhouse come to assassinate him, a king? Moreover, this was Finlay City – the Holy Capital of the Illuminati! In the Illuminati’s base camp, who would dare to act recklessly? “Yes, yes. It was my subordinate who was overthinking.”

Merit said hurriedly.

“Let’s go, let’s go in together.”

Clyde this led Melitte and Ransom towards the inside.

“Your Majesty, Lord Linley is recuperating in the middle of the solitary courtyard in the east courtyard. The slave girl will take His Excellency to dive in.”

Led by the playful maid. Clyde, Merit, and Ransom then walked towards the place where Linley was recuperating. But halfway there – Clyde’s trio saw Gilmer, who was leading two white-robed priests.

“Lord Gilmer.”

Clyde, Merit, and Ransom saluted at the same time.

“Clyde. You’re here too.”

Gilmer nodded, “Linley’s internal injuries shouldn’t be light this time. He was coughing just now, so when you guys go visit him, don’t waste too much of his time. Just visit him for a bit. Let him rest.”

“Understood.”

Clyde nodded.

“Then I’ll leave first.”

Gilmer nodded and left first with the two white-clothed priests.

Clyde led Merit and Ransom towards Linley’s place.

This Gilmer’s departure also caused Linley to secretly breathe a sigh of relief, but before Linley could rest, a maid quickly ran over to summon the message.

“Lord Linley. His Majesty the King has brought Lord Right Minister here.”

This maid hurriedly feasted on the report.

“Coming?” Linley’s eyes lit up.

“After waiting for so long, it’s finally here.”

Linley couldn’t help but feel a little excited in the bottom of his heart, “You go out first.”

Linley immediately dismissed the maid. And then Linley sat down peacefully on the side again. Waiting quietly for Clyde’s arrival.

It was only a few seconds. Linley heard footsteps.

“Linley.”

Clyde’s voice rang out just as he reached the doorway of the hall. In three or two steps, he walked over to Linley and said with great concern, “Linley. You don’t look too good. Quickly, sit down. Rest. Rest well.”

Linley was pressed by Clyde to sit down again.

“Lord Linley.”

Then Merit also saluted Linley.

“Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Lord Merit.”

Linley said slightly feebly.

It was just that the excitement in Linley’s heart had begun to race. When he had first known that his father had died. Linley had asked Uncle Hillman to bring the family’s inherited treasure, the ‘Warblade Slaughter’, to the O’Brien Empire. He was already determined to take revenge at all costs.

Father, mother! Father’s death. Clyde had something to do with it. If Clyde hadn’t let Patterson send someone to take his mother captive. How could my father go to revenge and eventually lose his life? As for my mother, of course she has something to do with Clyde.

“Your Majesty. I’m fine, I’m just a little injured in my internal organs, my fighting qi can’t be cultivated anymore, I still have no problem with normal activities.”

Linley said with a smile.

“That’s good. That’s good.”

Clyde also revealed a hint of a smile.

“Lord Merritt has come this time as well.”

Linley suddenly thought of something and said in surprise. “Right. I still haven’t drunk the bottle of good wine that Grandmaster Melitte gave me last time. Today, both His Majesty and Grandmaster Melitte are here. Let’s have a drink together then.”

As Linley said that, he headed towards the nearby liquor cabinet.

“No need, Linley, your body is injured. Don’t drink.”

Clyde advised.

“It’s fine, my injury is only minor. And drinking some wine. It can also revitalize the blood.”

Linley said and took out four wine glasses. A bottle of red wine. “Ransom. Sit down as well, there’s no need to be polite in my place.”

With regard to Ransom, Linley was very clear.

As His Majesty’s personal attendant, Ransome was still extremely strong, and although Linley couldn’t definitively confirm it, in Linley’s opinion. This Ransome was at least a rank seven powerhouse, possibly even a rank eight powerhouse.

“No, I don’t drink.”

Ransome shook his head and refused.

As His Majesty’s personal attendant, one had to remain sober at all times.

“Linley, Ransome doesn’t drink ground. There’s no need to let him drink.”

Clyde shook his head at Linley, “Linley. Lord Gilmer ran into me just now and said that you were coughing terribly and told you to rest, so let’s not drink.”

Not drinking? Others didn’t know, but Linley himself was very clear. The hemolytic poison he had put down could be in the wine. If Clyde didn’t drink. How could he be poisoned? “It’s fine. Lord Gilmer said that because he was too concerned about me.”

Linley smiled and poured wine for everyone, “Your Majesty Clyde. This is a very good bottle of wine, Lord Merritt. Come on, let’s all raise our glasses.”

Linley said and raised his glass.

Clyde and Merit also only had to raise their glasses.

There was a crisp clash of glasses. And then Clyde, Melite, and Linley all took a sip.

“Cough!” Linley coughed violently. Coughing out all the wine in his mouth as well, coughing violently. Coughing so hard that Linley’s face had a sickly red color.

“Linley. I told you not to drink, but you had to.”

Clyde said in dissatisfaction. He hurriedly went to choose Linley.

“It’s fine.”

Linley smiled and reached out to stop Clyde.

Suddenly. Linley gazed at Clyde and said solemnly, “Your Majesty. I have a very important matter. To talk to you, Your Majesty.”

“A very important matter?” Clyde was confused by the fact that Linley had such an expression on his face.
