The Prince Who Was Raised in Hell

Chapter 27

At the thought of this, the light in Lucas’s eyes shined brighter.

Before this, he thought that Maurina was only a mature teenager.

Moreover, during the four-month journey together, Maurina appeared languid and did not do anything out of the ordinary.

However, after seeing what happened today and Maurina’s analysis just now, Lucas finally understood that he had underestimated Maurina!

In an instant, Lucas felt that he did not understand Leonardo, and he was unsure whether bringing Maurina into the Lawrence family was good or bad.

Fabian finally recovered from the shock, and he stuttered, “Do you know that Harold’s one of the geniuses among the Yates family’s younger generation? They have high hopes for him! You’re not only carrying the blame for the Lawrence family, but you heavily injured him too.

The Yates will definitely not let this slide.

It’ll be great if you remain in Lawrence Manor or Lawrence Fort.

Otherwise, they might find a chance to let you face the crazy music.”

Maurina answered indifferently, “There‘s no free lunch in this world.

There’s a risk even if you cheat to get something.

Besides, I did everything I could at that time based on my current ability.

It’s hard to do it better, so I’ll regard being the scapegoat for the Lawrence family as a price to pay for staying in the Lawrence family.”

After he said that, Maurina wondered if James let him choose a martial skill and weapon to face the Yates family‘s revenge.

After a moment of silence, Lucas suddenly stared at Leonardo, and his tone was unprecedentedly solemn as he shouted, “Leonardo, who are you!”

“Lucas!” Fabian was stunned as he noticed the change in his tone.

“Fabian, I know what you’re worried about.” Maurina’s expression also turned stern.

Although his stage was not as good as Lucas’s, Maurina’s imposing aura was no match for Lucas’s.

Maurina answered, “You did not save me when I was heavily injured and unconscious out of goodwill, but because I resembled Nathalia Montgomery.

Hence, you have no right to criticize me as I didn’t lie to you first.

Nonetheless, I won’t deny the truth that you two of you rescued me, so I can swear to you that I have no ill intention against the Lawrence family.

Moreover, I can promise you that whether I can successfully enter the gateway to immortality that you mentioned, I’ll never do anything that can hurt the Lawrence family or you two.”When he heard Maurina saying that, Lucas pondered for a while and nodded.

“Alright.

I believe you.

I hope that you‘ll always keep your promise.”

“I will.” Maurina nodded.

Since they already discussed these that should be addressed, both parties had nothing to say anymore.

Hence, Lucas pointed out several matters that Maurina should pay attention to, and he left with Fabian after that.

Maurina watched as the two of them left.

Then, he shook his head.

‘I’m afraid that they don’t even know how much the Lawrence family sacrificed just to reject the Yates family’s proposal.

A secret about the peak second-stage of the Pulse Control Realm was exposed… From the looks of it, the relationship between the Lawrences and Yates isn’t as amicable as you think.

Besides, James accepted me not because I gave him a reason to reject the Yates family, but because I’ve also shown my true abilities and potentials, so he was willing to support me.

If I lost, he would still get rid of me, the useless son-in-law, and reject the Yates family‘s proposal because Harold was merciless.

No matter what, James won’t suffer any losses.

Humph.

What a sly fox.’

After that, Maurina rested in the small courtyard, and a servant would send him meals.

Even though he entered the Lawrence family, Maurina still had two issues to solve after this.

Firstly, it was about the gateway to immortality.

Unfortunately, it was impossible for Maurina to find out more on that today, so he could only use the rest of the time here to understand the Dark Moon Sect.

Secondly, as Maurina was not in the wild anymore, and Lucas and Fabian were not hunting food for him, it would not be easy for Maurina to use The Fundamental Law of a Hunting Whale to replenish his blood and spiritual Qi.

The food that the Lawrence family provided was rather delicious and delicate.

However, it could not satisfy Maurina’s needs.

‘It seems that I‘ll have to think of a way.’ Maurina thought.

As for his future wife, Jessica, Maurina was not anxious to meet her either.

***

At night, Maurina shut the courtyard’s entrance, then tightly closed the room’s door and windows.

After that, he entered the Time Warp Zone on the second floor of the Tower of Life and started to train hard.

As Lucas and Fabian kept a watchful eye on him during the four-month journey, Maurina did not have a chance to cultivate.

Nonetheless, that also gave him an unexpectedly good foundation.

Now that he returned to the Time Warp Zone for practice, Maurina could feel that the energy that he swallowed before was absorbed by his muscle and veins, blood, and bone marrow.

That made his body tougher and defined.

Although he was yet to give it a try, Maurina could tell from how he easily broke the stone statues into pieces, and he was like a humanoid beast.

Moreover, he was a powerful one too.

After a night of training, Maurina had a faint hunch that he was about to break through a level, which made him really excited.

The benefits of training under great preparations were indeed obvious.

If he leveled up and reached the fourth stage, Maurina would return to the realm he was before he was imprisoned in the hellhole prison! Furthermore, his strength would be even more powerful than when he was in the same stage before!

Maurina wanted to continue training in the Time Warp Zone.

However, it was already dawn, and he needed to go to the Lawrence Fort, which was located out of town, to pick a martial skill and weapon.

Hence, he had to leave the Earring of Echo temporarily.

There was a well in the courtyard, and Maurina took some water to clean himself up.

Then, he changed into a set of fresh clothes that the Lawrences prepared for him.

Not long after he returned to the room, a servant came to deliver Maurina’s breakfast, and she also notified Maurina that someone would bring him to Lawrence Fort after breakfast.

After preparing everything, Maurina realized that the person in charge of bringing him to Lawrence Fort was Fabian.

As Maurina and Fabian left Greenfield toward Lawrence Fort, Fabian informed Maurina that he and Lucas were summoned by James last night. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

James questioned them about the journey of their mission, then arranged them for another task.

Thus, Lucas and Fabian might have to leave the Lawrence family for quite some time.

The soonest they would return was in three months, and the longest would be in half a year.

Moreover, their schedule was so tight that they would need to leave tomorrow.

“This is just as I expected.” Maurina nodded.

After all, if Maurina were the head of the clan, he would also arrange for Lucas and Maurina to be away for some time.

Fabian said, “When he knows I‘m in charge of bringing you to Lawrence Fort, Lucas specifically instructed me to answer all your questions.

Do you have anything you want to know about? Once we reach Lawrence Fort, it might not be as convenient for me to answer your question as it is now.”
