Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 2059

"You're exactly right."

Wilbur was a little shocked and found the whole situation rather hard to believe. "But there were Shadow Men in Wearson Valley too, and there was Shadow energy there too. Why hadn't the Shadow King come here through those Shadow energy, but chose this one instead?"

Bernard said, "The Shadow King's Shadow energy is completely different from the Shadow energy of regular Shadow Men. The Shadow King can only enter another dimension through his own Shadow energy, and then destroy that world. Unfortunately, this world is the one the Shadow King is currently infiltrating."

"What?"

This was the last thing Wilbur had expected. "The Shadow King can just… go to any other dimension he wants as long as it's through his own energy?"

"No, he needs to make a sacrifice every time. Shadows represent darkness, and it takes a cultivator's own heart to break the dimensional barriers to form a connection with the Shadow King and then gain his power. Kearson secretly borrowed the power of the sixth dragon cauldron to seal the power of the Shadow King into his body. Master knew about this, but he was busy with something else and thus could not sort this out… only for the worst possible outcome to happen. Thankfully, Rostead is a pretty small country. The effects of something like this happening here won't be too severe, and Master just wants to use this as a test for you. The only way you'll pass it is by killing the Shadow King."

"Kill the Shadow King?" Wilbur asked, falling silent after that.

Bernard nodded. "After getting the three hundred million dollars from you, Molton and Haron split the money two ways and separated. Haron left Rostead, and Molton returned to Rostead. Upon Molton's return, he immediately spent twenty million dollars on finding an assassin to kill Hart. This news shocked the Jackson family greatly. Despite Molton being found dead in his house within an hour of Hart's death, Hart was his father's only son. Hart was going to be the heir to the Jackson family fortune, and his father loved him the most, but now Molton had killed him."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Hart's father, Locke, had sacrificed his own heart to gain the Shadow King's powers. He had worked hard for several decades to make a name for himself and his family, and the Shadow powers caused him to be in unbearable pain every night. Locke had endured this pain this entire time. But now, Locke's son is dead, and all the effort he had invested in the past few decades had all been in vain. Everything had lost meaning to him. Locke's plan was to sacrifice himself to invite the Shadow King to this world after Hart's funeral today. Rostead has a big storm coming for it."

Wilbur was in shock. He had not expected Molton to pay an assassin to take someone else out. "Is there any way to prevent this tragedy from happening?"
