Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 2704

"That's all I needed to hear."

Following that, Edmund brought Wilbur to the secret chamber. The next day, the Reyne family put out a notice announcing that their leader Babbit was going into secluded cultivation on his own for a year and would not be seeing anyone.

At the same time, City Lord Edmund's quarters also put out a notice that Edmund was going to cultivate in isolation, and his quarters would be closed for the next six months.

Both announcements traveled around Buck Town pretty quickly, and it was not long before everyone was talking about what could have happened.

"Why would Lord Babbit and Lord Edmund go into isolated cultivation at the same time?"

"What's wrong with that? Everyone's a cultivator here in Buck Town. Besides, Lord Babbit is cultivating for a year, and Lord Edmund is cultivating for just six months. They've got nothing to do with each other."

"But some members of the Dragon Slayer Organization were just killed, and Lord Edmund was said to be related to the case. Why would he choose to cultivate at a time like this? Could he be hiding from the Dragon Slayer Organization?"

"I don't think so, actually. Lord Edmund did the right thing. I heard that Hanson broke into the City Lord's quarters with members of the organization in the middle of the night. That's enough to get him killed already. I'm sure Lord Edmund's doing this to send out a message to the cultivators of Buck Town that he's the one who calls the shots here, and he's just seeing things through."

"But what if the people from the Dragon Slayer Organization headquarters find out about this and come looking for him here?"

"Well, I'm sure Lord Edmund's got nothing to fear if he has done nothing wrong. Besides, I heard that all nine City Lords had some issues with the Dragon Slayer Organization for a while now. Now that some members of the organization have broken into a City Lord's quarters, it's only going to add fuel to the fire if they still come looking."

Dalton frowned at Dino, who looked up at him with a nod. "Yes. This is good news. It proves that there is, indeed, a dragon clan cultivator in Buck Town."

"Even if that is the case, Hanson and the others humiliated Edmund to no end. We wouldn't exactly have a solid reason to go looking for Edmund, at least not now."

Frustration rose in Dalton's chest upon hearing the words. After all, nothing like this had ever happened to the Dragon Slayer Organization in the past. Their reputation was bound to take a hit once the news went out, and Dalton himself was going to have to head to Buck Town to face Edmund eventually.

If they were dealing with a regular cultivator, the Dragon Slayer Organization was more than capable of taking them down. But Edmund was a City Lord, and he was not exactly at fault here. Attacking him might result in something much, much worse.

Dino interjected, "No, Mister Dalton. You can't question Lord Edmund if you're going to Buck Town. In fact, that's the worst thing you could do."
