Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 2321

Zeb became anxious as he observed Blake's intention to relinquish the metal Uru to Severin. "But…" he protested begrudgingly.

"No buts. We're leaving!" Blake interrupted Zeb with a stern rebuke.

As Blake spoke, his aura once again regressed to the initial-stage level five paragon. The adverse effects of forcibly enhancing his power through his bloodline power were becoming more pronounced. Even with his activated bloodline power, he was barely able to withstand the clash with Severin, as the latter was armed with an elite-quality spiritual treasure. Blake's waning strength and the severe injuries he incurred rendered a prolonged confrontation meaningless. Stay too long and he might meet his end in the confrontation.

As they say, one could lose the battle and still win the war. Besides, it was just some metal Uru. Despite its rarity, the Menzies were a venerable bloodline that had produced true celestials, thus allowing them to stand on par with many of the major scared lands. Having accumulated a lot of power over several thousand years, the Menzies' wielded an influence that surpassed that of some sacred lands.

Blake's intent for entering the Starry Sky Battlespace was not solely to secure metal Uru. He wanted to scour for opportunities to become a celestial. Such was his reason for retreating. Relinquishing the metal Uru within the meteorite belt was but an insignificant dent in his plans.

"Yes," Zeb acknowledged reluctantly and clasped his hands to bow down.

Zeb's fury had calmed down significantly by then, and he commended Blake's shrewdness for leveraging on other people to do the dirty work for him. That Severin possessed an elite-quality spiritual treasure despite being a level three paragon would surely make him an easy target. As long as the prodigies from Lasbonrket and Cesun had their sights set on him, they would spare no effort in getting what they wanted from him. Morality became a second concern.

Zeb took the opportunity to lavish some praise to Blake. "That's a very good idea! You're using other people against him!" He then recorded Severin's appearance and details on a jade slip and delivered the message to all the Menzie members in the Starry Sky Battlespace.
