Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 2655

The next second, however, the energy aura in Edmund's body began to condense in a single spot rapidly. The faint figure of an azure dragon took shape in his chest, letting out a howl as Edmund's body exploded.

…

All of Edmund's joints were blown apart. There were huge gashes all over his body as blood gushed out, and Edmund promptly fell unconscious. As he had lost his powers, Edmund's real appearance was exposed as he floated on the lake's surface.

Felix saw that and was stuck in a dilemma. He knew that this was the perfect opportunity to kill Edmund, as Felix was still at risk of being killed by him as long as he was alive. However, Edmund was now the head of the Reyne family.

Besides, this Edmund was just a clone. Edmund's original body was still alive, and pulling such a move might lead the Four Great Families to seek revenge as well. Felix would be captured eventually, and consequently killed.

On top of that, this might drag Wilbur down with him as well. Felix did not want this to happen, so he quickly rushed into the lake to carry Edmund back to his room. Felix tended to his wounds, sending out news that Master Babbit would be cultivating in solitude for three months.

Felix might be a skilled healer, but there was nothing he could do about all the damaged joints in Edmund's body. It was up to Edmund's own skills to heal his own body.

Edmund nodded, but he felt a chill run through him. The nine City Lords of the middle dimensions were powerful cultivators who could detect each other's auras, thus Edmund could not hide his plans from George.

However, the City Lords were also enemies as much as they were friends. Each main town had different resources, and George knew what Buck Town's resources were. He had offered to help Edmund take down the Four Great Families in the past, but Edmund had turned him down each time.

Edmund was wary that George might hog the four main energy sources of Buck Town for himself after taking down the Four Great Families. This would make Edmund a laughingstock, or worse—killed and replaced by George.
