The Prince Who Was Raised in Hell novel Chapter 570

Upon having Joshua confirm several times that it was indeed Casper Montgomery that he referred to, Robert was sure that he got the right man.

“I can’t believe that guy managed to get a second chance! Must’ve been on a stroke of good luck, or had a miracle happen to him,” Robert scoffed coldly.

Joshua looked as if he wanted to hide in a hole.

Being cheated of the Purple Dragon King Ginseng he planned to use for himself was already an ordeal of great shame.

Of course, it was not something Joshua was going to let slip so easily.

Thus, Robert did not know about it.

Joshua did not plan on telling him, either.

‘Yeah, a miracle did happen to him.

The Purple Dragon King Ginseng I gave him.’

If he said that, Joshua was almost certain that his days to come in the Dark Moon Sect would be filled with nothing but obstacles.

Thus, he wisely chose to shut his mouth.

Still frowning, Robert glanced over at Joshua.

”Did he say anything to you when you crossed paths?”

“About that… No.” Joshua shook his head abruptly.

There was no way he was going to tell him what Caspian just said to him.

“Well, in that case, your encounter was probably just one of pure coincidence,” Robert nodded firmly as the crease between his eyebrows smoothed out slightly, “He sure is a nuisance, though.

The thought of him alone leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

That stunt he pulled at the Sect‘s Recruitment Ceremony, getting first place in all history? I got ragged on for ages by my teachers.

Even some of the elders in our sect had something to say about me rejecting him.”

“The thing is, I didn’t make a mistake! The stupid kid made me look like an absolute fool.

Letting him join the sect… Now that would’ve been an actual mistake! He hasn’t seemed to learn his lesson, the bastard.

Showing up to the election, he’s trying to make a fool out of me with an audience this time!”

Robert’s anger flared as he continued with his rant.

“He’d sure looked grand, taking all the glory at the Sect’s Recruitment Ceremony and joining the Heavenly Stars Sect while I got banned by my teachers for a year.

If he pulls any more stunts at the election and surprises everyone once more, they’ll remember what happened and rag on me again! I’m not trying to get yelled at by those old geezers again!”

Joshua’s face paled at his words.

“Senior, calm down!”

To dare to refer to the elders of the sect as old geezers, if that news were to get out, both he and Robert would be in hot water.

It would even be fair to say they were lucky if they did not get kicked out of the sect.

Robert seemed to be aware that he blurted out the wrong thing in a fit of rage as well.

“Ugh, let’s not continue about him for now.

He’s hardly anyone, anyways.

What’s the worst that could happen? A fellow apprentice from a different sect like him can hardly cause any harm, can he?”

Joshua rushed to agree.

“You’re right, Senior Robert.

His ability to advance realms so quickly probably implies he barely has any foundation.

I’m pretty sure he probably used some less than savory methods to get here.

We’ll see what happens when the time comes, we can…”

Robert glared at Joshua from the corner of his eye, shutting Joshua up immediately.

With a sheepish smile he blurted out, “Of course, all is up to you, Senior Robert.”

And so their talk about Caspian came to an end.

Caspian noticed, however, that the two seemed to not have said all of what they wanted to say.

“You think you’ll be able to touch me?” Caspian laughed to himself in disbelief from the teahouse, “I’ll be sure to make you regret it for the rest of your lives if you dare lay even a finger on me.”

After the topic changed, Caspian noticed through the Eye of Insight that Robert’s expression suddenly grew rather solemn.

In the teahouse, Caspian focused on listening as well while not forgetting to sneak glances at Robert’s expression.
