Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 2698

"I heard that Lord George of Walker City is a dragon clan cultivator. Hanson's disrespect toward Lord Edmund is a clear provocation. Lord Edmund wants to show the Dragon Slayer Organization that they must follow the rules from now on, or they are courting death."

Everyone was amazed. No one felt sorry for the Dragon Slayer members. Although all cultivators envied the power and skill of dragon clan cultivators, the Dragon Slayer Organization had done many infuriating things under the guise of hunting for dragon clan cultivators, so their deaths seemed justified to the public.

At this time, a black-robed cultivator hiding in the shadows turned and left after hearing the guard's words. He crossed the street, sneaked through a quiet alley to the back door of Buck Town's branch of the Dragon Slayer Organization, and after checking his surroundings, he went inside.

In the second basement level of the Dragon Slayer Organization branch, there was a man-made pond filled with a viscous, black liquid. An old man sat cross-legged, floating above the pond, meditating.

The black-robed man quickly walked to the pond, went down on one knee, and said, "Master Botani, they're all dead."

The old man floating above the pond slowly opened his eyes and looked at Ardy, the man on his knee, then asked, "Are Hanson's and Sivan's heads also hanging on the gate?"

"No. There are twenty-two heads hanging on the gate. I checked carefully, and neither Hanson's nor Sivan's head was among them. They might still be alive."

"No, Edmund wouldn't have let Hanson and Sivan go. If I'm not mistaken, they are already dead."

"Hmph! Edmund is aware of my existence. When he challenged the eight masters and won, who do you think the ninth master was?"

To become a City Lord, one must defeat the top nine masters in the city. Every City Lord had to pass this test, and future cultivators could challenge and defeat the City Lord to take their place. If the City Lord dies unexpectedly, the next City Lord must challenge the top nine masters in the city.

Ardy's mouth dropped open in shock. "Could it be… Were you the ninth master, Master Botani?"

"Yes, I was the ninth master. When Edmund wanted to become City Lord, he knew I had no ambition to be City Lord and didn't care who took the position. So, the day before the competition, Edmund came to visit me with a generous gift. During our conversation, Edmund hoped I wouldn't participate in the competition. To express his gratitude, he gave me five hundred gold coins."
