Chapter 956
Chapter 956 I Tore It Up
Emrys was about to reprimand Zephyr for questioning his character when Logan interjected despondently, “Mr. Lund, our lives
are now in your hands, so we naturally. wouldn’t dare to offend you lightly. It’s just that the matter is of great importance. Gideon
lost the Lestrange family’s secret inheritance technique, essentially making it the Judd family’s fault. If Mr. Lestrange were to
return empty–handed, the Lestrange family would undoubtedly hold the Judd family accountable in the future. So, if you have
indeed come across it, I hope you could provide some details, Mr. Lund.”
He spoke in a very tactful manner, fearful of offending Emrys.
Nonetheless, he had no choice but to voice that.
To the Judd family, the Lestrange family was never to be offended. When the Judd family was taken to task, Cloudmist Academy
wouldn’t protect them.
Instead, they might even give them the boot ahead of time because even Cloudmist Academy dared not provoke the secret clan
easily.
After giving it some thought, Emrys finally admitted, “I have indeed seen that manual of secret inheritance technique. It was in
Gideon’s storage pouch, and I took it out.”
Both Zephyr and Logan’s faces lit up with joy at the same time.
They had long since suspected as much. But since Emrys never admitted it, they weren’t in the position to confront him about it.
Mainly, it was because they lacked the capability to do so.
Now that Emrys had admitted it, it made it clear that he wouldn’t intentionally make things difficult for them anymore. Logan
quickly expressed his gratitude, saying, “Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Lund! Thank you so much, Mr. Lund!”
“Don’t be in such a hurry to thank me just yet.”
Logan was filled with gratitude, but at Emrys‘ words, his expression abruptly froze, and he wondered inwardly.
Could it be that Mr. Lund doesn’t intend to return the secret technique? But what use would it be for him to keep it? He couldn’t
cultivate it!
As he was perplexed, Emrys suddenly flashed them a slightly embarrassed smile and explained, “It’s not that I’m unwilling to
return it to you, but because I couldn’t understand it, I was increasingly enraged the more I looked at it. I felt that it was mocking
my intelligence. So, I tore it up in a fit of pique.”
“T–Tore it?”
That revelation gave Logan a scare.
He actually tore up the secret inheritance technique just because he couldn’t understand it? Generally speaking, isn’t a martial
arts technique more valuable the more complex it is and is to be cherished even more? If that secret technique were so simple
that anyone could easily master it, the Lestrange family wouldn’t value it so highly. I really can’t understand his train of thought.
Perhaps the saying that there’s only a fine line between genius and insanity is true. It’s precisely their unconventional way of
thinking that sets them apart from the average person.
He really didn’t know what to say anymore.
His legs trembled uncontrollably.
Meanwhile, Zephyr’s expression also changed slightly at Emrys‘ admission of him having torn the secret technique. However, it
wasn’t severe to a concerning degree.
He asked urgently, “Mr. Lund, you tore up the secret technique, but what about the fragments? Do you still have them?”
“I think so.”
After tearing up the manual of secret inheritance technique, Emrys casually tossed the fragments into the trash can and hadn’t
the chance to dispose of them properly.
Following his reply, Zephyr’s face lit up with joy. He said, “It’s fine as long as the fragments still exist! There’s still an opportunity
to fix things.”
He paused for a moment, seemingly uncertain, before he asked, “Can the inscriptions on the fragments still be made out?”
“You can rest assured about that. I tore it up but didn’t shatter it with my life energy. Of course, the inscriptions on it are still
legible.”
As Emrys spoke, he cast a surprised glance at Zephyr. “Are you planning to glue it back together with saliva?”
“You joke, Mr. Lund.” Looking embarrassed, Zephyr explained, “Actually, the Lestrange family’s secret techniques are all
transcribed from ancestral tablets. So, when we get them, they’re all rubbed copies and not one–of–a–kind.”
The secret inheritance techniques of the secret clan families were something core members had a chance of obtaining.
However, they would only receive rubbed copies, so any damage to them wouldn’t matter much.
