Chapter 2144
- Fortunately, the eight city guard soldiers under Jacob Miles were there, and he managed to obtain Jacob Miles’ address after learning that Jacob Miles had gone home. Following that, he decided to pay Jacob Miles a visit. “Brother David!” Naturally, Jacob Miles was extremely happy when he saw David Bishop had personally come and visited his estate. He enthusiastically welcomed David Bishop into his house. “Brother! Brother!” As soon as David Bishop entered Jacob Miles’ front yard, he heard a familiar voice. Then, he saw a cute little girl running toward him from the distance before she arrived in front of him and hugged his legs. “Eh? Sze Sze, you seem to have become more beautiful,” David Bishop said with a smile as he squatted down to look at the little girl’s clean and fair face. He could see the little girl had groomed herself properly. “Sister-in-law helped me to shower and gave me a new dress,” the little girl said as she looked up at David Bishop. “Sister-in-law?” David Bishop was momentarily stunned before he realized the sister-in-law in question was Jacob Miles’ wife. Soon after, David Bishop met Jacob Miles’ wife under Jacob Miles’ lead. Jacob Miles’ wife looked comely, and she seemed like a responsible woman... When she found out David Bishop was Jacob Miles’ brother, she was kind enough to cook up a table full of food. “Sister-in-law, stop being so courteous with me... Otherwise, I wouldn’t dare to come next time,” David Bishop said to Jacob Miles’ wife at the dinner table. “Brother David, Jacob Miles has very few friends. Since you’re his brother, it means you’re my brother too... Since my brother rarely comes over, how can I treat him badly?” Jacob Miles’ wife said with a smile. “Sister-in-law, I’m bothering you with Sze Sze here. I’ll find a way to search for her family... If I find them, I’ll send her back. If I can’t find them, I will make arrangements for her as soon as I can. I won’t trouble you for long,” David Bishop said. “Brother David, now you’re acting like a stranger... Sze Sze’s very cute. Even my two boys love her. If you can find her family, then it’s fine. If you can’t, just let her stay with me,” Jacob Miles’ wife said hurriedly. “Sze Sze’s a poor kid,” Jacob Miles’ wife said. Her eyes began to tear when she thought of the shocking scars she had seen on the little girl when she was helping her shower. She loved that little girl, Sze Sze, and she pitied her too. “Thank you, sister-in-law,” David Bishop quickly thanked her. He could see the words came from the depth of Jacob Miles’ wife’s heart, none of it was faked. “Brother David, it seems like you have seven more days before you have to return to the Latent Dragon Camp, right? Just stay at my house for the remaining seven days. I have extra guestrooms.” Jacob Miles also suggested, “It’s just right. You can spend more time with Sze Sze as well... That kid was missing you the entire morning.” David Bishop glanced at the little girl, Sze Sze, and nodded in agreement. After dinner, David Bishop also saw Jacob Miles’ two sons, a two-year-old and a three-year-old... They were running on wobbly feet after Sze Sze. That night, Jacob Miles went to work while David Bishop stayed in his house. In the spacious guestroom, with the door and windows shut tightly, David Bishop entered the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda with just a thought. While David Bishop weighed the black orb that the Rare Treasure Pavilion put up for auction today in his hand, he looked at Elder Owen and asked bluntly, “Elder Owen, how do I refine the eye of this One-eyed Devil Vulture?” Hu! When David Bishop finished his sentence, Elder Owen did not speak. Instead, he only raised his hand. Suddenly, David Bishop noticed that he had involuntarily loosened his grip, and the black orb in his hand had flown into Elder Owen’s hands. This incident shocked him. “Indeed, a sleeping lion is still stronger than a barking dog!” It was the first time David Bishop witnessed Elder Owen’s strength. In front of Elder Owen, he was as weak as a child. “En?” The flash before his eyes stunned him. Following that, he discovered Elder Owen had reverted to his true form, the Three-legged Golden Crow. He spat out a smoldering flame from his mouth on the eye of the One-eyed Devil Vulture. In that instant, even David Bishop who was standing quite far away could clearly feel the interior of the first level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda was getting hotter. Eventually, it became so hot that even he found it intolerable. “Go to the second level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda,” Elder Owen said to David Bishop, “With my current cultivation base, I’ll need at least three hours to refine the One-eyed Devil Vulture’s eyeball. Come back in three hours... At that time, I’ll be done refining it, and you can directly integrate it into your body and gain the One-eyed Devil Vulture’s ability.” David Bishop nodded and went to the second level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda... The second level was completely isolated from the first level, therefore he could not feel the slightest heat at all. For the first time, David Bishop felt that three hours was a long time. It almost felt like he had waited for more than half a day. At the moment three hours had passed, David Bishop, who had been waiting impatiently, flew out and immediately left the second level for the first level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. David Bishop saw Elder Owen had returned to his human form. A black mist floated in front of him. With just a glance, he felt as though his soul was being taken away.
