Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 2656

After two tries, Edmund knew that there was no way he could absorb the energy aura from the Azure Dragon Lake. This meant that the energy aura in his body was of a contrasting nature, thus he would not be able to benefit from the Azure Dragon Lake.

However, there was no way he could tell anyone about this. If the other City Lords found out, they would be sure to replace Edmund. Yet if the energy aura in the Azure Dragon Lake remained the same, George and the others would eventually sense something off as well.

Thus, Edmund knew that he was going to have to find a cultivator who could absorb the energy aura in the Azure Dragon Lake. Maybe Felix, or that guy named Wilbur Penn. Maybe Edmund could borrow their bodies to get it done.

George chuckled. "Taking the place of the Reyne family head, then slowly taking over the other three families to increase your power. It's truly a brilliant idea, Edmund."

Edmund heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing those words, glancing at George nervously. At least George was not an enemy of his for now.

Edmund said, "Mister George, surely you didn't come all this way to hear about such boring news?"

The nine City Lords were all busy with the affairs of their respective towns and hardly had the time to go snooping around for useless information. No cultivator wished to be spied on like this. It was an act of great disrespect.

George laughed. "Oh, don't say that, Edmund. You're right, I didn't just come to hear about what's happening in Buck Town. I have a message for you."

"Oh?"

"My master told me that a dragon clan cultivator has entered Buck Town. No matter what happens, he wishes for you, City Lord Edmund, to spare this cultivator's life."

"What? A dragon clan cultivator?"

Edmund was shocked to hear the words. Dragon clan cultivators were extremely rare. Edmund himself had not seen one in Buck Town for nearly a thousand years. "Are you sure?"

Besides, Edmund was currently in desperate need of George's help.

"Alright, then. Since you've agreed to help me out, I'll be taking my leave, Edmund."

George disappeared into the air after that. It turned out that this was not George's true body, but just a clone of his.

"A dragon clan cultivator in Buck Town, and now of all times?" Edmund mumbled to himself.

Just then, a servant walked in and said, "My Lord, Steward Horne is requesting your audience."
