Wolves, Maces, And Blood novel Chapter 128

The elder Campbell did not look back, but he seemed to have eyes in his back and could see Sean’s surprised expression. He reached for a cup of hot tea and explained with a smile, “You don’t have to panic.”

“You should know that there are two Masters of Complete Stage in Dark Energy in my Campbell family. One is me, who is responsible for guarding the ancestral home.”

“And the other one, he is far away in the Capital City, and he has an important position.”

“I can’t tell you exactly what the position is, but what I can tell you is that he had enough access to know what he knew about you…”

“Including the Bloody Wolf Group!”

At this point, the elder Campbell put down the teapot and stood up. With his left hand on his chest, he gave Sean a Buddhist salute and said, “Please have a seat.”

“Thank you for your honest answer.”

Sean had an Epiphany. It seems that another Campbell family predecessor of Complete Stage in Dark Energy should have a very high position in the Capital City. Otherwise, how could he know something so secret?

They had enough access to Sean’s identity, but Sean didn’t have access to their identity. Therefore, since the elder Campbell family did not say, he naturally did not ask more questions.

Sean sat down on a stone bench opposite the elder Campbell. The Campbell family’s predecessor pushed one of the cups of hot tea to him and said, “To tell you the truth, we are the only Campbell members of the Complete Stage in Dark Energy who know who you are.”

“The reason why we asked Zackary to protect you and help you is related to your status as General Wolf of the North and your great potential as a Master of Complete Stage in Dark Energy.”

“I hope you are aware of this.”

To put it bluntly, the Campbell family didn’t go out of their way to help you for fun, and it wasn’t just to repay you for saving Charles Campbell’s life. What was more, they actually saw you as a person of extraordinary status, outstanding strength, and young, and when you grew up in the future, you would be a powerful big shot.

In time, it might be your turn to return the favor and help the Campbell family.

Sean knew all this, even if the Campbell predecessor didn’t say it. He was not a fool. And he knew that there was no such thing as hatred or love without any reason or cause.

And there was no free lunch!

Human investment, that was all!

However, the Campbell family predecessor was worthy of the centenarian. He was open-minded and he made no secret of the unpleasantness of the remark.

Sean nodded and said, “I got it.”

“Rest assured. Whether there is a favor or a grudge, I will repay. This is my motto, and also the way I conduct myself.”

“Those who bullied me will be punished!”

“Those who helped me will be repaid!”

In the face of the candor of the elder Campbell, Sean had nothing to hide and everything was for real.

“That’s great.”

The elder Campbell smiled and said, “Enjoy your tea, please.”

“Thank you.”

Sean took a sip of hot tea from the stone table, put it down, looked up, and asked, “Before I came here, I heard from Mr. Campbell that you were very familiar with York Rodriguez’s swordsmanship routine and would like to give me some advice.”

“I’d be grateful if you could.”

Although Sean was sure to beat York Rodriguez, he would be willing to win more easily if he could know his enemy and understand York Rodriguez’s weaknesses in advance.

“Oh, no, no.”

The elder Campbell, however, smiled and shook his head, “I brought you here to talk about something else actually.”

“Oh?”

Sean was stunned, “And what’s that?”

The elder Campbell said, “Your identity as General Wolf of the North may be secret, but there are a few people in the Capital City who have access to it. The other day, at the Rodriguez family villa, the old monster who attacked you, his master, is one of them.”

“You have a guess, I suppose, as to his identity?”

What happened at the Rodriguez family’s villa was a big deal. And it seemed that After Zackary Campbell came back, he had told the elder Campbell immediately.

Sean nodded and said, “Yes.”

The elder Campbell didn’t ask who he was, and apparently, he had the answer. So, he went on, “Do you know why that person sent a Master of Complete Stage in Dark Energy to sneak up on you in the Rodriguez family?”

“Do you know?”

This time, Sean wasn’t so crisp.
