The Man's Decree novel Chapter 1100

Chapter 1100 Are You Lying
Aware that Theodore and Rayleigh must have been worried about him over the past few days, Kai and Lizbeth hastened to the airport.
At that exact moment, Skylar was walking out of the airport, flanked by his men as they arrived at Xenhall.
Both men were at the same place and at the same time but they did not notice each other.
Kai’s brow creased for a moment. Although he could not see Skylar in the crowd, he recognized the latter’s aura as one he knew well.
“What is it, Kai?” Lizbeth asked when she saw Kai stopping in his tracks.
“Oh, nothing.”
Kai glanced around him before shaking his head and heading straight into the airport.
Meanwhile, Skylar and his men arrived outside the airport. He glanced at the road outside and scowled when he did not see his expected reception.
“This Baron of the Northwest is too much, Mr. Norton,” remarked a subordinate beside Skylar. “How dare he neglect to send a car for you when he knows you’re coming?”

Skylar said nothing, visibly displeased.

At that moment, an old man stepped out urgently from the passenger side of a taxi that had screeched to a halt before Skylar. It was none other than the man who escaped Lizbeth’s grasp, Joshua.

He peered about warily after alighting the vehicle before addressing Skylar, “Excuse me, are you Mr. Norton?”

Skylar swept his gaze up and down Joshua before nodding.

Joshua heaved a long sigh of relief. “I am the butler of the Gardners, Mr. Norton,” he explained hastily. “I’m here to receive you.”

“How brazen of the Gardners to receive Mr. Norton in a taxi!” Skylar’s subordinate growled indignantly.

Joshua looked uncomfortable. “There’s something you need to know, Mr. Norton,” he said quickly. “Kai is currently on a massacre at the Gardner residence. I barely managed to escape just so I could come and receive you, Mr. Norton, and I have no idea how my master is doing.”
“What’s going on?” Skylar demanded, his expression frosty. “Karl told me Kai was captured. What happened? Are you luring me into a trap?”

“Not at all!” Joshua explained with a flurry of agitated gestures. “We wouldn’t dream of lying to you, Mr. Norton. Mr. Gardner had indeed locked Kai in Pentacarna Tower, but he had somehow escaped. I reckoned Mr. Gardner is dueling with him this instant.”
