Chapter 1142 Beware Of Tricks


    Though he did not know about the grudge between Coby and Jared, Skr assumed that his host and


    Jared had crossed paths before when Coby struck under the assumption that he, Skr, was Jared


    from their first meeting.


    Unbeknownst to Skr, Coby did not actually have a grudge. Instead, Coby’s intention to duel with


    Jared was just to stroke his ego.


    Skr hurriedly set his coffee down and stood up when Coby appeared in the hall.


    “Mr. Coby!” Skr called out courteously.


    “Mr. Norton, to what do I owe the pleasure of your visit to my humble abode? Oh, you appear injured!”


    Coby leered at Skr as he continued, “Who in such a destitute ce as Xenhall would dare toy a


    finger on you, Mr. Norton?”


    Skr did not take Coby’s ridicule to heart, as he was in thetter’s house asking for his help.


    “Weren’t you seeking Jared, Mr. Coby?” Skr said pleasantly. “I’m here today to inform you of his


    movements.”


    “Oh? Are your injuries a gift from Jared, then? I’m afraid to disappoint you, but I do not have a grudge


    against Jared. Your information about his movements is useless to me. I’m not going to pick a fight with


    Jared for your sake.”


    Coby leaned his face closer to Skr’s as he continued his torment, “Why don’t you return to your


    home for reinforcements to avenge yourself?”


    Skr’s expression stiffened before quickly regaining his calm. “I’m not here to ask for your help


    fighting Jared today, Mr. Coby. I have a secret to tell you. It is something good for you Rowlings.”


    Coby’s eyes narrowed as his gaze fixated on Skr. “Are you referring to the secret of the tower at


    Gardner Manor?”


    Skr was taken aback. “How did you know?” he blurted.


    Coby roared withughter at Skr’s expression. “Hah! I wasn’t sure before, but I am now. There is a


    secret to the tower at Gardner Manor.”


    Skr froze as he realized Coby had tricked him. Coby had hitherto been unaware of the secret of


    Pentacarna Tower.


    Skr nodded. “You are right. There is a secret to the tower at Gardner Manor. Thanks to it, I have


    been able to break through so quickly to be a Top Level Martial Arts Grandmaster.”


    “Really?” Coby asked curiously. “What secrets does it contain?”


    Skr nced about him in response.


    Coby understood at once. “Leave us, all of you,” he ordered.


    “Be wary of any tricks, Mr. Coby,” Jericho reminded Coby in a whisper to thetter’s ear.


    “Tricks, my foot! He’s no match for me, even in his prime! Besides, he’s injured anyway. Leave us, all of


    you.”


    Coby pped his hand irritably.


    Soon, only Coby and Skr remained in the hall.


    “You may speak now,” Coby said brusquely.


    Skr gritted his teeth before relenting by telling Coby, whose eyes were aze, all the secrets of


    Pentacarna Tower.


    “Who would have thought there was such an amazing artifact at Gardner Manor? It turns out this tower


    has been the cause of Karl’s meteoric progress, even bing Baron of the Northwest.”


    Coby licked his lips before continuing, “Thank you for telling me all this, Mr. Norton. Rest assured, the


    tower at Gardner Manor now belongs to the Rowlings. Nobody else will be allowed ess. Of course,


    that includes you Nortons. If you still wish to upy the tower, it would depend on the approval of us


    Rowlings.”

    Skr was taken aback. “Are you not going to deal with Jared, Mr. Coby?” he asked with a frown.


    Coby cackled jeeringly. “Why would I deal with him if he’s going to leave Xenhall quietly? Besides, he


    can’t move the entire tower, can he?”
