Chapter 1010
Ronnie, the sect’s protector, had been in a bad mood recently, and he merely glanced briefly at Meldrick before saying, “Do you have nothing better to do than to come here and bother me?” Meldrick smiled subtly, sat down in front of Ronnie, and asked, “I’m curious if you are aware of the circumstances surrounding your son’s death?”
At the mention of his son, Ronnie’s face soured and he narrowed his eyes slightly as he glanced at Meldrick. “What are you trying to tell me, Meldrick? Are you saying that you’re well aware of the circumstances surrounding Brandon’s death?”
Brandon’s death has been bearing down on Ronnie for quite some time because Brandon was his only son. Brandon went out to hunt for treasure with Sofia, but Sofía was the only one who made it back. According to Sofia, he had been killed by a spirit beast.
Though there was no evidence to prove that, Ronnie did not think too much about it because he believed in Sofia’s words. When Meldrick brought that up to Ronnie again, the latter finally realized that the truth was probably not as simple as it seemed.
Meldrick nodded. “Brandon wasn’t killed by a spirit beast. I only found out the truth when I went out with Sofia. She revealed it to me while we were on the road, but she insisted that I shouldn’t tell you about it.”
Ronnie clenched his fist and gritted his teeth. He suppressed his anger before questioning Meldrick. “Then why are you telling me that?”
Ronnie was well aware that Meldrick was very a sly and scheming person. Meldrick and Brandon had both tried to win Sofia’s heart, and their affection for her was an open secret even though they never expressed their feelings outright.
As rivals in love, they were less than cordial with each other. As a result, Ronnie was a little wary when Meldrick approached him to tell him about it.
Meldrick deliberately expressed his sadness. “I didn’t want to tell you at first, but I understand how important it is for a father to know the truth about his son’s death. I can understand the pain, especially if you don’t know the true events surrounding what happened…”
Then, Meldrick stood up again as if to leave. “I’ll excuse myself then if you don’t wish to know the truth. I shouldn’t have reminded you of your pain in the first place.”
Ronnie immediately panicked when he saw that Meldrick was about to leave. He stood up and said, “Hold on. I never said I didn’t want to know the truth, did I? How did my son die? He couldn’t have been killed by Sofia, right? Her attainment was not as high as my son at the time!”
Ronnie’s heart ached again. Brandon was young, and his talent was somewhat better than. many of the disciples. If he had still been alive, he would have broken through to the level one warrior emperor by then.
Meldrick sat back down and said to Ronnie, “I’ll tell you, but you can’t tell anyone that you heard it from me. I don’t want Sofia to be unhappy!”
Ronnie frowned. “Why would she be unhappy?”
“Well, when Brandon and Sofia went out to search for treasure, he took her to a place where
