Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 2136

Barker's lifespan was extended for over a millennium by the dark liquid, but the scar on his left cheek from the battle with Fremont a thousand years ago was like a brand, deeply etched in Barker's heart.

Although Barker had methods to alter his appearance through cultivation, his hatred remained unchanged.

Whenever he grew angry, that obsession would resurface, and so would the scar on his face.

There would always be a missing piece.

For a millennium, Barker had been sending people to search for Fremont's whereabouts, but to no avail.

Unexpectedly, Fremont's chosen one had come knocking on his door.

Barker already knew the secret of the Nine Dragon Cauldrons, so he was well aware that the person possessing the cauldrons was Fremont's chosen one.

If Fremont chose this person, it would mean he had undergone strict tests, and once he died, Fremont would undoubtedly seek revenge.

Then, Barker could finally confront Fremont in battle.

The wait of over a thousand years had been excruciatingly long, and even with all his great luck over the years, Fremont's slash on his face overshadowed them all.

To Barker, Fremont was someone who should not have existed.

…

At the entrance of the Ezekiel Mine, Wilbur slowly opened his eyes, and the first cauldron gradually lost its radiance, falling slowly into Wilbur's hands.

Then, Wilbur tucked the first cauldron away into the demiplane.

"It seems there are no fragments of the ninth dragon cauldron here," Wilbur mumbled with disappointment as he turned around.

Looking up, he saw Raymond clad in a black robe.

"Hello," Wilbur politely greeted Raymond.

However, Raymond did not respond.

Raymond scoffed.

"Are you Fremont's chosen one?"

"I am, but what does that have to do with you?" Wilbur retorted.

"Then stop asking and just wait for your death! You and this mine will both be reduced to rubble!"

Another black energy orb shot toward Wilbur, who dodged again.

The next instant, Raymond summoned a black longsword and charged at Wilbur.

With a swift movement, Wilbur evaded the attack.

As Raymond's sword came at him, Wilbur flipped his right hand, and the thunder cleaver appeared.

He raised the blade to block the strike.
