Chapter 1684


    Therefore, he decided to go his own way and start from elsewhere in his quest topete for the


    position of head.


    This was how he decided to curry favor with the son of the Ginger family and n to attack Alba.


    Of course, Cornelius also paid for this with his life.


    Archimedes continued to practice with his eyes closed.


    After some time….


    Knock knock knock!


    A knock on the door woke him up.


    “Who is it?” Archimedes asked somewhat dissatisfied.


    He hated it when others disturbed him when he was practicing.

    “Master, it’s me!” An old man’s voice came from outside the door.


    “Come in!” Cornelius said.


    The door opened and an old man with gray hair walked in from the outside.


    The identity of this old man was not simple.


    His name was Bernard Lightfoot. He was a rtively distant member of the Lightfoot family, and he


    was also the protector sent to Archimedes by the family.


    He was very strong and was an Eternal Realmte Sovereign Ranker.


    As the first-in-line heir of the Lightfoot family, Archimedes’ safety was very important, and it was a lot


    more important than that of Cornelius.


    If Cornelius was dead, the Lightfoot family would be outraged.


    However, if Archimedes died, the Lightfoot family would not just be outraged, they would turn the whole


    world upside down.


    Even the few Saint Realm grandmasters would be rmed.


    Suh was the gap between the first-in-line heir and the second-in-line heir.


    It seemed they were only one position away, but the treatment they received was very different.


    For example, Archimedes had a protector, but Cornelius did not.


    If Archimedes was the one who attacked Alba and not Cornelius, David, a mid-Sovereign Ranker,


    might suffer a disadvantage at the hands of thete Sovereign Rank old man.


    Of course, David’s mind power and Evil-Splitting Sword were his greatest assists. So, he would not be


    scared.


    However, it would be difficult if he wanted to kill and silence the old man.


    After Bernard came in, Archimedes got up to wee him.


    Archimedes would not put on the airs in front of the old man who had been with him for so many years


    and did everything he could to guarantee his safety.


    “Uncle Bernard, you’re here. Please sir,” Archimedes said courteously.


    “Master Archi, I already know why the family issued a convening order,” the old man said after he sat


    down.


    “Oh, what is it? Tell me.” Archimedes asked curiously.


    “Cornelius is dead.”


    “Cornelius is dead? How?” Archimedes asked with a frown.


    Archimedes was familiar with the second-in-line heir of the family.


    He was talented, but was still pretty inferior to Archimedes.


    Back then, Cornelius made up his mind to train so he could fight for the position of head of the family


    with Archimedes.


    After he was mercilessly defeated, Cornelius stayed silent for a while.


    Recently, it was said that he had once again be active and he was getting very close to the


    Ginger family.


    How did he die so suddenly?


    This entire time, Archimedes was never bothered about Cornelius.


    “It’s uncertain how he died, but his life que broke not long ago, so the family issued a convening


    order. The head and all of the seniors are outraged. They ordered us to find the reason he died and the


    murderer. Then, they will suppress the murderer with everything they have and annihte the


    murderer’s entire bloodline to protect the dignity of the Lightfoot family,” Bernard said.


    After this, he told Archimedes what happened in the main hall just now.


    After Archimedes heard that, he pondered for a while and said, “Cornelius is ultimately still the second-


    in-line heir of the family. His death will soon spread across the Central Sacred Continent, so this will


    indeed cause a huge blow to the family’s prestige. It’s normal for the seniors to be mad. Right, where is


    Cornelius’ protector?”


    “They all died, including the two beginner Sovereign Rankers. All of them were defeated and none of


    them survived,” Bernard answered.


    “Since the murderer could kill two beginner Sovereign Rankers, he’s not weak. I wonder who it is. If


    they identally killed Cornelius because they didn’t know who he was, it’s still understandable. If they


    knew Cornelius was the direct descendant of the Lightfoot family and they still killed him, then this


    would be interesting,” Archimedes chuckled and said. However, his smile looked sinister.
