Chapter 2723: Man-Made Disaster

Ever since Rian Harris came back alive, Julius Reed has always been by his side. Obviously, in the beginning, Rian Harris knew nothing.

But now, Rian Harris actually knows about breaking the token.

Unbelievable!

Inconceivable.

"You don’t know?" Rian Harris seemed somewhat surprised, and he quickly asked, "Who gave you this token?"

"Southern-sky people." Julius Reed vaguely remembered, it seemed to be this name.

"He didn’t tell you where this thing came from?" Rian Harris slapped his thigh and said, "Damn it, you’re being played!"

"You spared my life, I should thank you. It’s good to be decent, so I’ll tell you everything I know."

After saying this, he bowed again and said, "Please remember this favor and spare me when the time comes."

"Go on." Julius Reed smiled and said, "At that time, the Southern-sky people gave me the item and said it was something he never had the courage to break in his lifetime. He also said that if I broke it, life would change because of it."

"I was curious too, what exactly is this thing, and never expected to meet you. It’s perfect, you tell me, I’m very interested."

Even though Rian Harris was very tense, Julius Reed remained relaxed.

What’s the worst that could happen?

At worst, being schemed against?

Is it a hidden weapon?

Is it a curse?

Or something else?

None of it matters.

Julius Reed has too many enemies, he really doesn’t care about these things.

The only thing he cares about is the answer.

Knowing something, after all, makes one feel relaxed.

Otherwise, it’s hard to stop pondering about it.

"This thing is actually a stepping stone—breaking it is equivalent to declaring war on the entire martial arts world! Moreover, every move you make, they’ll know." Rian Harris sighed and said, "The Southern-sky people must be some cunning old fox, actually scheming against you before he died."

"However, you really didn’t lie, killing three Emperor-level people in succession, including top-ranked king of the Nine Provinces like North Palace King. I genuinely admire you."

"But, declaring war simultaneously against those who are waking up is basically certain death. I have no intention of belittling you, it’s just they are too strong."

Rian Harris turned around and took a gentle breath, "The spiritual power here is too scarce to cultivate top martial artists."

After speaking, he turned around, with an odd look in his eyes, "But you..."

Julius Reed didn’t hold back, directly displaying his pressure, along with that crown!

"Upon seeing the crown, you know what to do right?"

"The... the crown!" Rian Harris was emotionally agitated, he stood there for a good ten seconds before reacting, and after three more seconds, he knelt down, "Greetings to the King!"

"Emperor-level, former candidate for king of the Nine Provinces, Rian Harris, salutes you!"

He was very respectful, very courteous.

"I know what you think in your heart, you’re injured, have no top combat skills, and have to submit to others. Besides, in your eyes, I’m a dying man."

Julius Reed spoke slowly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Rian Harris hurriedly raised his head, eyes full of surprise, quickly explaining: "My admiration for you is sincere, this kneel is also sincere!"

"I know, otherwise, your head would have moved already."

Julius Reed said indifferently.

He could hear what was in Rian Harris’s heart.

But strangely, he had no idea what the Southern-sky people thought at that time.

The reason behind it will only be gradually explored in the future.

"Then I ask you, can they see me?"

Julius Reed couldn’t help but feel embarrassed when recalling the scenes with Nelson.

"They can see roughly, but can’t see the face clearly, can’t see exactly what is being done."

Rian Harris reached out his hand and gently stroked.

A layer of mist appeared in front of him.

Through the mist, Julius Reed was seen standing in the room, surrounded by several people.

This level of blocking was permissible.

It didn’t completely leak personal privacy, but indeed, it had exposed it.

"I have a question, about your body..."

He pointed at Julius Reed: "How can you be so relaxed after killing three people? What’s going on with you?"

"I am the king, is this reason simple and straightforward enough?" Julius Reed said breezily.

"Enough!" Rian Harris gave a thumbs up, laughed out loud and said: "Good! What a madman! I, Rian Harris, was supposed to die, almost died at your hands. Since you didn’t kill me, then I’ll give it all and follow you! At worst, if you die, I’ll be implicated! But what if you don’t die!"

Rian Harris didn’t expect that having gone through a change back then, he didn’t die.

He can even live till now.

But his ability had long been discounted, completely lacking the previous state.

"Okay, just because of what you said, I won’t let you die."

Julius Reed sat on the chair, pointed at Rian Harris: "Stand up! From today onwards, you no longer need to salute me, I don’t need servants, I regard you as a brother."

"Good!" Rian Harris stood up, sat beside Julius Reed.

He discovered that Julius Reed wasn’t just saying but actually doing it.

"Because of what you said, even if I die for you, it’s worth it."

Rian Harris picked up the teacup and took a sip.

The taste was refreshing and sweet, quite good.

Very comfortable.

"Tell me, I know nothing about you guys, tell me everything you know, so I can prepare." Julius Reed knocked on the table, smiled indifferently and said, "You know, sometimes I really suspect, whether it’s that Swordsman who arranged for you to meet me."

"What Swordsman?" Rian Harris didn’t understand.

"Anyway, I really need someone, someone like you, and you appeared."

Julius Reed stood up, went to the window, looked outside.

Could this really be the arrangement of that Swordsman?

"What’s with you?" He asked with his back to Rian Harris.

"Haha, at the time, I was asleep, preparing to wait for the crown to appear and wake. But unexpectedly, many years ago—I can barely remember which year—a disaster occurred."

"The mountain I was sleeping on suddenly changed, the mountain was directly broken in half, and a very strong force penetrated my body directly."

"After the disaster, I was in a waking state, but that extremely powerful spiritual power directly pierced my body and trapped me severely, so I went back to sleep in order to survive."

"If you hadn’t discovered me, I probably would have died there."

He looked helpless and said, "Maybe this is just bad luck."

"But why is your luck bad? Plus, why is the scar on your forehead so peculiar?"

Julius Reed pointed at his head.

"What?"

Rian Harris walked to the mirror and when he saw the scar on his forehead, his face changed instantly!

He seemed unsure, once again reaching out, gently touching it.

"Sometimes, it might not be a natural disaster... but a... human-made calamity."

He gritted his teeth, his hands shaking uncontrollably.
