Chapter 504
On the next day, Andrius received Noir’s call early in the morning.
“Andy, the Second War God sent the assassins to kill you and stop you from attending the Grand Medicinal Competition.”
The Second War God?
A cold glint flashed in Andrius‘ eyes.
The Second War God would never give such an order on his own, even if he had the nerve to, so the person who made him give that order must be the Emperor, Registus.
Why would the Emperor want Andrius to stay away from the competition?
Was the Emperor afraid of something?
Was the Emperor afraid that Andrius might find out about the truth?
Andrius highly suspected that the skeleton that was listed as the first prize of the Grand Medicinal Competition contained answers to many unanswered questions.
“It seems like we must win the first prize this time.”
With that, Andrius headed to Phoenix Manor, where the East River State Medical Society called their headquarters for now. Maybe the people there had a clue about the secrets of the skeleton from the
Kleins.
When he arrived at Phoenix Manor, the Medical Society’s base, the security guards stopped him.
“Hold on right there. This is the HQ of the East River State Medical Society. If you do not have an appointment, please leave immediately.”
Andrius frowned. Before he could say a word, he spotted Angus coming out.
“Who are you? What are you doing here?” Angus asked after he spotted Andrius at the entrance.
Andrius revealed the token that proved his identity.
The token of the Wolf King!
“Wo-…”
Angus was startled when he saw the token. He wanted to bow but Andrius stopped him with a glare
“T-this way sir!”
Angus tacitly knew what the glare meant and invited Andrius inside without asking questions. He already noticed it when Noir registered for the Grand Medicinal Competition on behalf of the Wolf King.
The Wolf King would always be under the spotlight wherever he went.
Angus had been thinking about meeting the Wolf King for a while. Meeting the Wolf King would not only honor himself but also make his family proud. Unfortunately, his attempts had been fruitless until now.
If he had known that the Wolf King had been less than a hundred meters away from him when he helped the dignitaries recover from the sleeping gas last night, he would probably lose his mind.
Andrius nodded and followed Angus into the hall.
“Wolf King, please have a seat.”
There was no one in the room, so Angus bowed respectfully. He made tea and brought it over himself.
“Wolf King, I wonder what I can do for you?”
“I am here for answers,” Andrius said straightforwardly.
Angus raised a brow. “Wolf King, you can tell me about it. If I know anything about what you are looking for, I will speak my mind.”
“I’m here about the first prize of the competition: the skeleton or the body,” Andrius said as he looked at Angus. “I want to know its secret. Why are there so many people trying to get their hands on a body?”
“I…” Angus looked troubled. He said, “Wolf King, to be honest, I don’t know the secrets to the body, but I’ve heard rumors about it before.”
“Rumors?” Andrius raised a brow. “What rumors?”
“I heard that…..” Angus lowered his voice mysteriously and continued, “When the Kleins from Kiyoto were wiped out back then, one of the children survived. That child holds the ultimate secret to the family’s tragedy.
“But 20 years have passed, and there are no more clues regarding that poor child. Even if the master of the Kleins comes back to life, he might not be able to identify the child now. It’s like searching for a needle in a haystack!”
Andrius nodded.
20 years was more than enough for things to change drastically.
Searching for the child was not an easy task.
