Chapter 1281 Generosity or Motive?



chapter 1281 generosity or motive?

vincent grimaced and winced his brows when he heard bernard's tactless words. of all the grand elders, vincent was most wary of bernard because this old man was the youngest among the grand elders and the most ambitious.

when the bank fiasco happened, vincent was glad bernard wasn't here; otherwise, he wouldn't have been as cooperative as edwin and inez. but now that bernard is here, and despite knowing that vincent's position at this moment in the sect is extremely strong, he still dares to speak up.

furthermore, vincent knew that bernard was the most unwilling one to discuss ace's going to the king sect, and vincent had already expected bernard to try making a move with eleanor.

however, thinking at this point and glancing at eleanor, who had this strange look in her eyes.

a peculiar light flashed past his eyes as he thought, 'old fool, if you're trying to play a trick on that girl just because she's young, then you can only blame yourself for not having eyes!' his expression eased, and his lips rose slightly in a cold smile. he remained silent as if he was going to watch a great show.

it wasn't just vincent; edwin and inez also had the same thoughts as vincent since they had seen eleanor's interaction with norman. chester was bernard's loyal supporter, so he was excited when he thought bernard was going to make a move. "speak and make it quick." eleanor dismissively looked at bernard.

bernard quickly became happy and didn't mind eleanor's change in tone. he only thought it was normal for her to show courtesy to the sect. master, and she might not know his identity.

furthermore, he already knew that eleanor was a quasi-lord, so she was far stronger than him, so he didn't dare expect anything here.

taking a deep breath, bernard bowed and respectfully said, "your excellency, this old man has a very talented great-grandson in my clan with dual runic talent and excellent virtues.

"you might not know this, but my great-grandson was also a nominal legacy inheritor of forger abyss just like george... i mean, alan and his talent might not be lost to him by much. so, i was wondering if he could join our human race's king sect so he could serve his race!"

when vincent heard bernard comparing nathaniel to ace, his expression was

somewhat comical, as if he was suppressing his laughter. even edwin and inez looked strangely at bernard.

"furthermore, the recruitment will start in three years, and if you hurry over now, you may reach in time. consider this another test from me," eleanor revealed, instantly stifling the happy atmosphere.

bernard and others panicked slightly before they all looked at eleanor, and their eyes lit up.

"don't even think about it." eleanor coldly spoke before they could, as she had guessed what these old foxes were thinking, "i won't help you take your disciples back except for giving you a map. don't be greedy, or you might lose everything. now, you all may go back except for sect master, i'll leave the details to him."

the grand elders smiled stiffly with a hint of embarrassment when eleanor easily saw through their thoughts, so they could only give up and quickly left after thanking her

profusely.

"forgive those senile seniors of mine if they offended you, miss. they won't know when to stop." vincent stated apologetically.

eleanor chuckled, "the old men back home are also like them, so don't worry; i'm used

to it. now, shall we?"

vincent narrowed his eyes slightly, smiled amiably, and nodded, "then i have to

trouble you, miss."

eleanor's smile widened as she couldn't help but subtly glance at the side before she

said, "no trouble at all. i'm just making sure the aig sect is taken care of after what it's

been through!"
