Chapter 548: Chapter 444: The Cross Family’s Law
The first to rush to Sepherdine’s side was Neal Wallace. With a single wave of his hand, he easily absorbed all the flames clinging to Sepherdine’s body.
A High-level Superpower User absorbing the superpower of a Nebula Level Fire Ability User? This scene left Graham Cross utterly dumbfounded.
"Sepherdine, are you alright?" Ethan Monroe rushed over next, and together with Neal Wallace, they supported Sepherdine from either side.
"Heh, you fatty... I was born more beautiful than most women. How am I... old?" Sepherdine had been scorched by the fire as if he were being barbecued for a full minute, and not a single patch of his clothes or skin was left intact. Yet he still chose this moment to crack a joke. As soon as he finished speaking, he passed out.
Although the flames had been absorbed by Neal Wallace, the damage caused by the Fire Ability remained.
"Shauna, quickly," Caleb Bloom said as he stepped aside. Shauna Wallace hurried forward.
A green light mingled with gold flowed over Sepherdine’s body. In just a few moments, all traces of the burns on his body vanished completely.
"A Healing System! Why would a minor, primitive planet have a Healing System user?" Graham Cross felt as if his entire worldview was being shattered by the people and events at the Morhaven villa.
He turned his head to look at Solomon Sterling. "Solomon, could the energy of an ordinary planet possibly nurture such evolved creatures and rare Superpower Users?"
Solomon Sterling shook his head and was about to speak, but just then, a group from Villa No. 3 arrived.
"Uncle Graham?" The Crown Prince and Tanuki suddenly appeared beside Graham Cross. "Uncle Graham, what are you all doing here?"
"You are... The Crown Prince and Tanuki? You two..." After his initial surprise, understanding quickly dawned on Graham Cross. ’If Lex Cross is here, then it’s only natural that The Crown Prince and Tanuki, his personal bodyguards since childhood, would be here too.’
Although The Crown Prince and Tanuki were now in different bodies, their Hidden Abilities were impossible for others to replicate.
"It’s not just us. Five, Saul, and Nolan Jennings are all here too!"
"Saul, you’re alive!" Solomon Sterling exclaimed, looking at the man walking toward him. His face was not as strikingly handsome as before, but his scholarly and frail disposition was still the same.
Saul Sterling hadn’t expected the newcomer to be his own father. A glimmer of tears flashed in his eyes. "Father." He was about to kneel but was stopped by Solomon Sterling.
"As long as you’re alive, that’s all that matters. It’s enough that you’re alive... Your mother misses you terribly every day!"
Hearing the word "mother," the tears in Saul Sterling’s eyes could no longer be held back. "Mother... is she doing well?"
"She’s well, everyone is well! We just miss you! The Eldest Young Master said the fifteen of you were accidentally sucked into a spatial rift and vanished without a trace. The Cross family and our other great families sent many people to search for you.
"To think that you were here all along. I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or... well..."
"What coincidence! The Eldest Young Master framed the Boss and wanted to wipe us all out in one fell swoop. He’s no cultivation waste—it was all an act! The Boss almost fell for his tricks!"
"Finnian Leroy, you survived and now you’re spouting nonsense! The Eldest Young Master of the Cross family is such a gentle and refined person. How could he possibly frame you all like that?"
Five turned to look, and his expression became terrifyingly grim. "First Uncle."
"Five, you can’t just say things like that, especially not in front of an elder from the Cross family. Understand?"
The speakers were Li Yimi and Neville Leroy, brothers from Rona Leroy’s faction in the Leroy family. Neville Leroy was also the son of the Family Head.
"I’m not talking nonsense! There are already numerous battlefields on the outskirts of the Dead-lands, between our Ancient Star Nation and the Extradimensional Battlefield. If he hadn’t used a trick to make us disappear, the old master wouldn’t have ended up stranded here with us after saving us!"
"That’s right. Alan Cross appears gentle, and to the public, he’s just a useless superpower user who has been stuck at the Nebula Level for years and can’t advance. But in reality, his Superpower Level is only one minor stage below the Boss."
Graham Cross’s expression was stern and cold. "This conversation ends here and now."
’The fifty-three people our Cross family brought this time are all trusted confidants. From the Sterling family, only Solomon Sterling came with me; he didn’t bring anyone else.
’But the Leroy family brought sixty people, including Li Yimi. Neither Li Yimi nor Neville Leroy are from Five’s faction. I don’t know if they can be trusted.’
After immediately cutting them off, Graham Cross looked toward Li Yimi. "Old Leroy was right. The children have suffered a great disaster; it’s understandable they’d feel wronged and spout some nonsense. Let’s not talk about this for now. The Crown Prince, Tanuki, what exactly is going on here? These evolved creatures..."
The Crown Prince, Tanuki, Five, and Saul Sterling exchanged glances. The Crown Prince spoke up, "Uncle Graham, it’s better if you don’t get involved in this."
"What are you talking about! What do you mean ’don’t get involved’? The Crown Prince, Tanuki, you may follow Lex, but Uncle Graham is your elder! There’s no reason to keep your elders waiting outside. Come on, lead the way. We’ve been traveling from the ancestral land for three years without a break!"
