The Prince Who Was Raised in Hell novel Chapter 51

“No! That’s not it!” Chris did not expect that Maisie would have such a big reaction, and he was startled.

He hurriedly blocked her path and explained, “He didn’t come, but someone else did.”

William noticed something fishy and asked, “Eh? What’s going on? Are you saying someone else is here to sell the same weight inscription?”

Maisie stopped in her tracks, and her expression turned solemn.

Chris quickly answered, “That’s not the case.

A Lawrence family member brought this weight inscription over, and he wanted me to verify its authenticity.

I noticed that the pattern was the same as the teenager’s, so I rushed over to let you two take a look at it.”

“I see…” Maisie felt slightly better.

She had the same reaction as William just now, thinking that someone else was selling the weight inscription.

If that was the case, it meant the youngster was a cheat.

When Chris mentioned that someone else was here, Maisie felt an ineffable pang of disappointment in her heart.

Nonetheless, after realizing the matter was not as she thought, Maisie’s mood lightened up.

“Oh, alright.

The Lawrence family, George and James’ family, right?” William took over the inscription that Chris passed to him.

Then, he glanced at it and nodded.

After he passed the inscription to Maisie, William turned to Chris and asked, “Did the guy inform you on the origin of this inscription?”

“This… I didn’t get the chance to ask him yet,” Chris admitted as his face reddened.

Maisie was still eyeing the inscription.

With her judgment skill and credibility, Maisie could naturally tell that the same person drew this inscription as the few inscriptions sold by the young man before.

At the thought of this, Maisie unconsciously tightened her grip on the inscription.

William peeked at Maisie, and he ordered Chris, “Well, invited the person to the back hall.

I have something to ask him.”

“Master… Master William, you want to meet him?” Chris was surprised.

After all, Chris knew that although William was not backed up by any family in Evergreen Town, nor was he a member of the Earlington of Efrax’s government or part of the royal family, his status was much higher than many heads of the families in this town as he was a Pulse Control Realm cultivator and an inscription master.

It was difficult for those heads of the families to even meet him.

Unexpectedly, William took the initiative to meet a Lawrence family’s normal member.

“What are you doing standing there?” Seeing that Chris was dawdling, William could not resist but urge him again.

Finally, Chris returned to his senses and hurriedly ran out.

As he was running, he secretly lamented how lucky the Lawrence family member was.

He got the chance to meet William! Chris could not help but wonder if the Lawrence family saved the universe in their past life.

William waited until Chris before saying to Maisie, “Lady Maisie, it’s inconvenient for you to meet a stranger.

How about when I’m questioning the Lawrence family member, you can stand behind the screen and listen to our conversation? Then, if you have any doubt, I can ask on your behalf.”

“Sure.

Thank you, Uncle William.” Maisie nodded.

The person James sent over was Thomas Lawrence.

The man in his late thirty was considered an elder in the Lawrence family, and he was rather influential in the family.

As Thomas usually followed James running errands, he had the chance to meet with people from all walks of life.

However, now that he was about to meet William, who was almost the same age as him, Thomas was so nervous that his face was pale, and his calves were trembling.

Even though William asked him to sit while they chatted, Thomas did not dare to do so.

Before he came, James exhorted Thomas multiple times to keep secret from the shopkeeper that Anita drew these inscriptions.

But, no one expected that Anita’s inscription would attract William.
