The guardian's sword by Taking Cigarette novel Chapter 375

Chapter 375

Jason‘s words left Quill bewildered.

“Uncle Jason, what... What sword?” Quill touched his head–he did not understand. “The one I saw when I visited your house the other day!

“The sword you used for gardening–when you were digging and planting flowers!”

Jason‘s tone was very serious and seemed mildly rushed.

He was acting as if this was no small matter. Quill rolled his eyes back into his head to think carefully and finally recalled what sword Jason was talking about.

That day, he had used the longsword he had snatched from Sean to dig some soil in the flowerbed outside.

Jason had just happened to be visiting and saw the sword. Quill clearly remembered that Jason‘s expression had grown very unusual upon seeing it. Later, Jason had used his cell phone to take a photo of the longsword. This indicated that the sword might be of extraordinary origin. At the time, Quill could not help but think, Could Sean really be involved with some bigshot?‘ However, since then, Quill had long thrown this matter to the winds. What did Jason intend to do by bringing it up again now? “I‘m asking you a question. Are you mute?” Jason, at the other end of the line, suddenly banged the table. “Ah, Uncle Jason, I‘m listening... I‘m listening...” Once Quill realized what was happening, he gulped and hurriedly replied to his uncle. “I‘ll ask again–where did you get that sword from?!

“You‘d best tell me the truth!” Jason took a deep breath and asked again.

“Uncle Jason, I got the sword from a beggar! “I wouldn‘t dare lie to you...” Quill was stunned by his uncle‘s words and replied instinctively. “What kind of beggar? Where? When did you get it?” Jason‘s tone was hurried. He kept asking more questions. “Just a... ragged beggar...

“It was probably more than a year ago.

“It‘s been such a long time, Uncle Jason. I can‘t remember clearly...”

Quill frowned slightly before quickly coming up with a lie in his head. For each lie one told, one would need to come up with a further 10 lies to support the first lie later on. Quill was currently in this situation. He knew that given Jason‘s status, he would definitely be courting death if he lied to fool his uncle.

Jason Yeast, as the spokesperson of the River City army, was like a god to the whole of River City! If Quill dared to deceive him, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was akin to deceiving the king. If he did that, it would not just be Quill who would be punished–the entire Zimmer family would also be doomed.

Therefore, Quill could only do his very best to convince his uncle that he had truly gotten it from a beggar.

Even though it was wrong, he had no choice but to continue his web of lies. After hearing Quill‘s reply, Jason fell silent at the other end of the call. Quill‘s heartbeat quickened, but he tried not to breathe too nervously. He waited silently. Quill‘s father, Jon Zimmer, was also worried.

He had never witnessed Jason so serious before.
