The Legendary Man Chapter 851-Chapter 851 I Killed Him

With a flick of his hand, Winston cut off a branch that was as thick as his arm.

At the elderly man’s question, he hastily spun on his heel and trotted over.

“Of course not, Mr. Quintus. Have you gotten your wires crossed again? We, the Mallory, and Henderson families are all respectable families. Our ancestral locations can’t be made known to outsiders. You were the one who agreed to the collaboration this time, deciding that we’re only to collaborate when making a move. Otherwise, everyone is to keep to themselves. Do you not remember that?”

In response, the elderly man shook his head slightly.

“No, I don’t. I said that?”

While saying that, the elderly man reached up and took the hat off his head.

Glowing white wisps of steam came into sight, and a gray braid a forearm’s length tumbled down.

The elderly man lifted an age-weather hand and scratched his head.

“I forgot all about that. Winston, how about I step down from being the patriarch and appoint you instead?” he muttered, his gaze brimming with bafflement.

Standing at the side, Winston held the elderly man’s hat with both hands.

“You’ve already passed the position of patriarch to Ashton twenty years ago, Mr. Quintus. You can’t appoint me now even if you want to do so.”

“I’ve already stepped down and appointed someone else?”

The elderly man was stunned at first before he reached out and slapped his forehead.

He then lamented, “Look at my forgetfulness! Yes, you’re right. I did that. My memory is regressing every single day.”

Winston stood at the side, not daring to comment on that. He merely stood there silently and kept the elderly man company.

As an elder of the Leeson family in Doveston and a cultivator in the middle phase of Divine Realm, he was exceedingly casual even when faced with the current patriarch of the Leeson family.

But when it came to the elderly man before him, he dared not show the slightest disrespect.

After all, the elderly man in front of him was none other than the previous patriarch of the Leeson family, Quintus Leeson.

Quintus was already a hundred and twenty years old, a true immortal who spanned two centuries.

His cultivation level had already reached the advanced phase of Divine Realm, and he alone could intimidate many respectable families and ancient sects within Chanaea. His capabilities were beyond one’s imagination.

Verily, he was the true pillar backing up the Leeson family in Doveston.

Alas, he still could not escape the aftereffects of the passing of time despite his high cultivation level and astounding skills.

Thirty years ago, his brain started shrinking, and his memory gradually deteriorated.

Following that, the Leeson family sought out renowned doctors in the whole of Kingshinton. Regretfully, none could provide a cure in the face of such irreversible brain damage.

If an ordinary person were to contract such a disease, he would have probably lost all reason after about ten years and become an empty shell with no sanity.

Quintus, however, had managed to hold out for a whole thirty years, thanks to his high cultivation level.

Nonetheless, they all knew that the man had not much time left.

Right then, he might forget what he said a moment ago in the blink of an eye.

If they could not find an effective remedy, the Leeson family would lose a great backer entirely in the near future.

“Winston.”

Getting to his feet, Quintus turned to Winston beside him and called out to the latter.

“Yes, Mr. Quintus?”

Winston hastened forward with the hat in his hands.

Snagging the hat, Quintus placed it on his head. The look in his eyes was contemplative, and it seemed as though he had recalled something.

“I remember you previously told me that a member of the Whitley family fled from Yaleview? Was there news afterward?”

“No, Mr. Quintus. All eight respectable families have been looking for Joshua for over a month, but we only learned that he headed to Merania after leaving. Apart from that, there hadn’t been any other news.”
