The Prince Who Was Raised in Hell

Chapter 80

Although Ashton was his son, Keith suddenly panicked when Ashton glanced at him.

“No.

Of course, not.

How’s that even possible?” Keith hurriedly shook his head.

Ashton once again shut his eyes.

“Such a thing will never happen! I’m not targeting anyone, but it’s the truth.

All the younger generations of the prominent families in Evergreen Town are trash except me.

Hence, I’ll get the place to enter the Dark Moon Sect.”

Keith’s eyelids twitched when he heard Ashton say those words.

After all, he would not say such a thing.

Then, Ashton ordered Keith, “Alright, Father.

I need to continue to absorb the blood essence.

You should go back and rest.

Just wait for me to get first place tomorrow.”

“Oh.

Alright! Sure! ” Keith quickly nodded.

Once he left the small building, Keith noticed a layer of cold sweats on his back.

When the night breeze blew, he felt chilly.

***

The night quickly passed by.

For other Lawrence family members, that was the night before the competition.

For Paul, it was three nights of hard training.

When he walked out of the Time Warp Zone, it was already morning.

After he are his breakfast, Anita headed toward the Lawrence family’s gymnasium.

At that moment, many Lawrence family members gathered there.

Anita looked around and noticed a five meter squared arena in the center of the gymnasium, and the Lawrence family members were all surrounding the ring.

There was a high platform not far from the ring, and several seats were placed on it.

James and the other Lawrence family elders sat there.

Anita was surprised to see a small pavilion was built next to the high platform, and the pavilion was covered with a white veil, not letting others see through it.

Nonetheless, Anita could vaguely see someone sitting inside, and another person stood beside them.

The atmosphere in the arena was filled with anxiousness and excitement.

Hence, Anita only looked at the pavilion for a moment before looking elsewhere.

He did not spare another glance at the pavilion, but the person in the pavilion coincidentally found him as he looked away.

“Lady Frank! Lady Frank! I found him! I found him!” Lucy screamed with a face full of excitement.

“Lower your voice! What if he notices us!” Frank glared sideways at her, “Where’s he?”

“Look at you! You wanted to see him too! ” Lucy giggled and pointed in a direction, “Cindy’s just standing there.

However, he‘s relaxed.

He only appears when the trials are about to start.”

Frank did not reply to Lucy, but she turned to George.

She saw Cindy’s portrait multiple times, but that was the first time she met George.

However, she could not help but let out a surprised gasp when she saw George.

It was not only because Anita and the portrait of Cindy had a different temperament, but Anita gave Frank a familiar feeling.

Frank was confused.

After all, that was the first time the two met.

Lucy did not notice Frank’s oddity, so she smiled and said, “Lady Frank, what do you think? Isn’t he completely different from the coward-looking portrait on the scroll? Even so, it’ll still be hard for him to be a match for you.”

“Let‘s wait and see,” Frank suddenly replied.

“Ah?” Lucy opened her mouth wide in surprise, “But… Lady Frank, didn’t you say you want to talk to Cindy today and let him know that if he’s not as good as your training partner, you’re going to break his heart and end the marriage?”

Frank stared at Anita and answered Lucy absent-mindedly, “We’ll decide again once the competition is over.

It’s about to start soon.”

“Oh.

Okay.” Seeing Frank’s weird behavior, Lucy looked around, and she suddenly smiled.

After a while, a Lawrence family elder sitting on the high platform suddenly stood.

Then, he read out the rules of the Lawrence family’s trials today. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Although it was said that two Lawrence family members would be chosen to represent the Lawrence family to compete for the Dark Moon Sect’s spot, the Lawrence family also wanted to use that opportunity to observe the younger generation’s cultivation progress.

Hence, those around the age of 12 to 16 and achieved True Martial Realm would be required to enter the trials.

The total number of participants, including Paul, was just 64.

The competition rules were straightforward too.

Participants would draw lots for a one-on-one contest, and the winner would enter the next round.

Although two would have represented the Lawrence family later, they would need to be distinguished as first place and second place winners for the competition.

“After the discussion with Chief James and the elders, we unanimously decided that those who performed well in the competition will be rewarded generously.”

As soon as the crowd heard there would be rewards, everyone’s eyes lit up.

The elder paused for a moment before continuing, “Participants who enter the top-eight will have the opportunity to select a low-rank Mortal Grade martial skill from the martial art chamber.

Those who enter the top four will have the opportunity to select a middle-rank Mortal Grade martial skill from the martial art chamber, and they’ll also receive a bottle of blood essence.”

“Blood essence!”

“The top-four can already get a bottle of blood essence!”

The young family members who participated in the competition instantly widened their eyes and exclaimed.

After all, they were already satisfied with eating wild animal meat to replenish their blood and qi.

Blood essence was a body-tempering medicine that they would not even dare to dream about!

In an instant, the youngsters were all burning with determination.

Not only those youngsters, but other clan members who already entered the True Martial Realm showed a look of envy.

Nevertheless, there were only a few of those present that could remain calm.

One of them was George.

For the past few days, Anita drank hundreds of bottles of blood essence, not just one bottle as offered by the Lawrence family.

Although the blood essence he had was not Oceans Chamber of Commerce’s, it was still a large sum of money.

Hence, Anita was unmoved when he heard about the reward.

Frank saw his expression through the veil.

When she saw how calm Anita was, Frank was secretly bothered.

“Next, the first and second prizes.” Then, the elder coughed to clear his throat.

The crowd instantly quietened.

Since the top four would already get blood essence, they were more excited about the first and second prizes.

“The second prize is getting a high-rank Mortal Grade martial skill from the martial art chamber, three bottles of blood essence, and a middle-rank weapon.”

All of the Lawrence family members present gasped.

The second prize was far more impressive than the third and fourth places!

After that, the elder went to announce the first prize.

The scene was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Even Ashton, who was indifferent, opened his eyes and looked at the elder on the high platform.
