The Man's Decree novel Chapter 1101

Chapter 1101 A New Master
“I wouldn’t dare lie to you, Mr. Norton!” Joshua exclaimed as he hurriedly shook his head. “You can beat me to death if you ever catch me doing so.”
The prospect of accelerated progress tempted Skylar. As Karl had never deigned to mention it, he had never heard of such a thing.
It appears that Karl still has some reservations against me and has not told me all of his secrets.
“All right. I’ll trust you just this once.”
Skylar nodded and led his men in Joshua’s wake toward Gardner Manor.
The group was stunned by the scene that greeted them when they arrived soon after.

The thousands of acres of the once-proud Gardner residence were now a wasteland littered with rubble and craters. Not a single building remained upright.

At the northmost point of the land, however, a tall tower stood erect. The decrepit structure exuded an aura as ancient as time itself.

“Mr. Gardner!”

Joshua caught sight of the human-shaped pile of ash on the ground and immediately recognized it as Karl’s remains.

Having been employed by Karl for many years, he would recognize his master no matter the form of his remains.

“It looks like we’ve come too late. Kai has killed Mr. Gardner and escaped.”

As Skylar spoke, his eyes swept all over Pentacarna Tower.

Its ancient aura attracted him the moment he laid eyes on the tower.

“You must avenge Mr. Gardner, Mr. Norton!”

Tears streamed down Joshua’s face. It was an outcome he never expected when he abandoned Karl to escape.

“Hmm… Before I do that, I want to attest the truth to your words first,” Skylar said as he walked straight into Pentacarna Tower.

The dense aura began to pour into Skylar’s body the moment he stepped foot in the Tower, causing his pulse to quicken.

Instinctively, Skylar sat cross-legged on the ground as the martial energy in his elixir field began to fluctuate rapidly.
