Clayde? Revenge?

Luo Feng didn't interrupt or say anything. After all, he and Cesar were good friends, but Cesar needed his help right now. So he just sat there leisurely drinking his tea, occasionally glancing at Cesar's annoyingly arrogant demeanor.

"Mr. Cesar, how about this, the stone carving you requested can be picked up in a month?" Linley actually only needed three days, but Linley wanted to give himself enough free time.

Cesar nodded. "Okay, a month is very short. I'm not in a hurry, I have plenty of time. Haha."

"Master Linley, please tell me what you need. If it's within my power, I will certainly do it for you," Cesar said generously.

"Mr. Cesar, if I ask you to help me capture a king of the Holy Union, would you agree?" Linley suppressed his impulse and probed first.

Cesar paused, looking up at Linley with surprise and doubt. "Capture a king?"

"Yes." Linley nodded emphatically.

Cesar frowned. After a moment's thought, he looked at Linley and said, "So, I want to ask you, if I help you capture this king, will you kill him?"

"Probably!" Linley answered honestly.

Deceiving a King of Killers is unwise. As for killing Clayde, how could Linley not seek revenge if his mother had truly been killed by him?

Linley had a premonition; his mother hadn't been heard from in so many years. She was most likely dead, or imprisoned somewhere. Either way, he was determined to avenge his mother.

"Kill a king?" Cesar glanced at Linley.

Linley looked at Cesar expectantly.

Cesar knew very well that although in terms of status, Cardinal was slightly higher than a king of a kingdom, the influence of killing a king was greater than that of killing Cardinal.

Cardinal dies, the Vatican can immediately find a replacement.

However, when a king dies, a power struggle may break out within the kingdom. At the same time, the Radiant Church will also become dissatisfied with him again because of this.

"I'm sorry, I cannot grant your request." Cesar looked solemnly at Linley. "Linley, killing a king would have too much influence. Besides, the Radiant Church has been very kind to me. I don't want the Radiant Church and my Saber Organization to be at odds over a stone sculpture."

Linley felt a sense of powerlessness. Clayde's strength might not be a concern for Cesar, but Clayde's status meant that Cesar wouldn't make a move over a mere stone sculpture.

"The king you want Cesar to capture for you is Clayde of the Fenlai Kingdom, isn't he?" Just as Linley felt a sense of powerlessness, a gentle voice, like a spring breeze, suddenly rang out in the hall.

"Yes!" Linley answered honestly.

Linley then remembered Luo Feng's presence. He had been too eager for revenge and had forgotten that there was a legendary expert beside him. Although he didn't know why Luo Feng asked him that, he still answered honestly.

Luo Feng stared at Linley for a long time, seemingly deep in thought, then smiled calmly and turned to look at Cesar: "Cesar, see? If you're strong enough, what can the Radiant Church do? Even if we destroy their headquarters, they'll have to endure it. For so many years, your strength has been stuck at that level; it truly doesn't live up to your reputation as a genius."

Cesar looked at Luo Feng and said with a rare bitter smile, "Do you think I wanted this? This step is really too difficult to take. Back then, all six of us were at the Peak Saint Domain. You were the youngest and also the most amazing. In just a few decades, you became equal to us old guys who have lived for thousands of years. Now you have taken this step, while we are still standing still. This step is really too difficult."

Linley was completely confused, but fortunately, with Doehring Cowart's explanation, he was able to barely understand the conversation between Luo Feng and Cesar.

"Alright, Linley, after you finish carving the stone sculpture in a month, Clyde Sissey will personally capture it for you. As for the Holy See of Light, I'll make sure they behave themselves," Luo Feng said to Linley with a smile.

Hearing Luo Feng's words, Linley suddenly felt like he had gone from the Infernal Realm to heaven. Just when he thought there was no hope, Luo Feng was actually willing to help someone who was not related to him at all. This made Linley feel that happiness had come too suddenly.

Cesar was taken aback, but seeing Luo Feng's stance, he naturally said nothing. How could the Radiant Church dare to turn against Luo Feng? To Luo Feng, the Radiant Church could be destroyed with a single hand, so Cesar was naturally not afraid. "Haha, Master Linley, then it's settled. I'll personally deliver that guy Clayde to you."

Linley smiled and thanked Luo Feng, "Lord Luo Feng, thank you very much."

"That's settled then. I'll be leaving now. But Master Linley, you'll have to give me the stone carving in a month, okay?" Cesar said to Linley with a smile before Luo Feng could speak.

"That's for sure." Linley felt a sense of relief.

After seeing Cesar and Luo Feng off, Linley, who had been troubled for a long time about how to deal with Clayde, finally felt relieved and had a sweet dream that night, which was a rare treat.

Time passed slowly, and a month went by in the blink of an eye.

Linley was cultivating in the Water Garden as usual that day.

"Lord Linley, Lord Cesar has arrived!" a maidservant immediately called out from outside.

Linley had instructed that he should be informed immediately upon Cesar's arrival.

"Cesar is here? Huh? Lord Cesar, isn't Lord Luo Feng here?" Linley immediately put on a coat and rushed out of the Water Garden. At Linley's speed, Linley arrived outside the living room in less than ten seconds. Cesar, still wearing a loose robe, was sitting with his legs crossed, drinking tea in the living room.

"Luo Feng has returned to the South Sea. Of course, don't worry, I'll bring Clayde back for you. As for the Radiant Church, Luo Feng has already told Fallen Leaf Heidens not to interfere. How about it, Master Linley? Is my stone carving finished?" Cesar looked impatient and immediately said with a smile as soon as Linley entered the living room.

Linley led Cesar to a side hall, where in a corner stood a human-shaped stone sculpture. Its cold, murderous aura and the arrogant look in its eyes, as if looking down upon all living beings, made people involuntarily look up to it. Even just facing this stone sculpture could instill fear in one's heart.

As for her appearance, it was incredibly lifelike, almost identical to Cesar.

"Good, good!!!" Cesar said excitedly twice.

"Master Linley, you truly deserve to be called a master stone sculptor. To complete such a perfect work in such a short time is remarkable. In my heart, this piece is a thousand times better than Dream Awakening." Cesar looked at the stone sculpture, his face beaming with joy.

Linley stood aside, watching Cesar lost in her narcissism with a sigh of helplessness, before finally having to interrupt, "Lord Cesar, shouldn't you bring King Clayde of Fenlai over for me now?"

Cesar carefully put the stone sculpture away, then smiled and said to Linley, "Master Linley, rest assured, I, Cesar, always keep my word. Wait here for a moment, I'll go and capture Clayde and bring him to your Marquis's manor for you to deal with as you see fit." With that, he disappeared into the shadows.
