Salomon’s face was savage, and the fury in his heart was roaring.
He, Salomon, was only an illegitimate child of the Boyd clan. He had been kicked out of the household after entering it for only a single day! Alone and without any support, he had been escorted to his teacher’s place, a reclusive expert who had only accepted him as a disciple for his father’s sake.
However, his teacher was a person with an extremely perverted disposition.
“I endured the humiliation of being expelled from the clan, and the life of torment I lived with Teacher I endured as well. I dreamed of one day standing at the pinnacle of the Infernal Realm, and trample down upon those bastards who looked down on me. Everything was for the sake of this!” Salomon thought back to all of the past years.
He had been enduring this entire time.
After receiving the news from the two servants that the Boyd clan had been destroyed, and that the only remaining person with the blood of the Boyd clan remaining was him, he hadn’t been heartbroken; instead, he had been wildly jubilant!
If they died, good! Those bastards deserved to die!
His chance had come!
Because those two servants had brought an enormous fortune with them, in accordance with the plans his father had laid prior to dying, Salomon had remained hidden with his teacher for a long period of time. After achieving success, he led the two servants and his ignorant little sister out towards the Jadefloat Continent!
On this trip, Salomon was planning to spread his wings and become without peer!
His plans had been very perfect.
The two servants had been two chess pieces he had been prepared to sacrifice to begin with. When he first saw Linley transform, Salomon had guessed Linley’s identity. For the sake of drawing a closer relationship with Linley, he had revealed his own name. At that time, he had thought that Linley wouldn’t immediately know his true identity.
After all, it was just a single character.
Salomon had thought that in the future, after Linley learned more about the affairs of the Boyd clan, he would feel Salomon had behaved very sincerely to him. Salomon had been in such danger, and yet had still revealed his identity! This action was a bit risky, but in order to win Linley’s trust, it was worth it.
More importantly…
First, he felt that Linley wouldn’t immediately know about the affairs of the Boyd clan.
Second, he could tell what sort of a person Linley was, especially from the way Linley had risked his own life to rescue Salomon’s little sister. This let him understand that Linley shouldn’t be the sort of person who would lust after a friend’s wealth. After all, Linley had been willing to risk his own life for Salomon’s little sister; would he care about a little money?
Salomon’s calculations had been very clear.
However, who would have imagined that the affair at the castle of sand had caused the Boyd clan’s affairs to be revealed. Linley and Bebe couldn’t help but suspect who Salomon was. In order to reduce their suspicions, Salomon had told Linley his true identity. As Salomon saw it…Linley shouldn’t have been able to reveal it.
First of all, Linley’s character. He shouldn’t have been the type to reveal it.
Secondly, Linley remained within the metallic lifeform. He shouldn’t have had a chance to reveal it.
But now…
This black-robed man had immediately been able to recognize him.
“The Boyd clan was destroyed, and those two old servants died as well. Who else in the entire Infernal Realm knows who I am? It must be Linley. Right. It was Linley. It was Linley who must have sent a message with someone else at Yilan City through divine sense and revealed my secrets. That must be it!”
Salomon was absolutely enraged.
“That bastard, Linley. He really puts on quite an act. Even I was tricked by him. I was wrong about him!” Salomon’s mind was filled with hatred. As he stared at Linley, his eyes betrayed his desire to devour Linley and tear his life away.
His dreams!
His goals for which he had struggled towards for countless years!
It was very likely that it was Linley who caused them to all come to naught!
How could he not hate Linley?
Linley was currently flabbergasted. Salomon was staring at him viperously, but he hadn’t revealed Salomon’s identity!
“Linley, you…you are impressive!” Salomon ground his teeth, his eyes turning red.
“I…” Linley felt completely wronged.
He could guess that this Salomon definitely believed that it was he, Linley, who had revealed the secret. But he had never spoken of it.
“Salomon.” Linley wanted to speak.
