Chapter 1141 Ulterior Motive
It was only after running a dozen miles in a single breath that Skylar dared stop.
His chest throbbed with dull pain as he panted heavily.
Skylar had received the full force of Kai’s blow to secure his escape.
“It’s not over between us, Kai. I will have you pay the price.” His features were twisted with rage, though he felt envious upon recollecting Kai’s shining bead.
He had never seen such a powerful instrument before.
“How many more secrets does Kai have up his sleeve?” Skylar muttered to himself as he frowned.
After catching his breath for several moments, Skylar departed hastily once more. He was afraid that Kai would catch up.
To ordinary people, the distance of several dozen miles was perhaps a lengthy one.
To men like Skylar, however, it only required several moments to cover that distance.
At that very moment, Kai had already entered Pentacarna Tower to cultivate.
He had no interest in wasting his precious time hunting Skylar down.
Though Coby’s eyes were shut as he remained basking in the sun at the Rowling residence in Marsingfill, other matters occupied his mind.
“Why do you think Skylar wants to cultivate in Xenhall despite the distance, Jericho?” Coby asked his subordinate, who was flanking him. “And also to occupy Karl’s estate?”
Coby had been puzzling over that subject ever since his return from Xenhall. Skylar definitely did not restore the estate for Karl’s family out of kindness.
He also knew that Skylar’s praise of Xenhall’s serene environment was a lie. Coby did not believe that for a second, as Xenhall was in an impoverished state.
