Chapter 1369 -1369: The Innocent Freeman Brothers
“What’s the matter?” Ethan Smith asked as he noticed something unusual.
The two brothers shook their heads, then laughed and said, “Nothing’s wrong. As long as Grandpa is safe, we’re relieved.”
Ethan nodded and said, “We can’t stay here in Grandeous City. The Cloud Sect will surely send a lot of people to hunt us down.”
But Clay Freeman wasn’t worried at all. He thumped his chest proudly and said, “We’ve been in Grandeous City for so many years, it wasn’t for nothing! Don’t worry, I, Clay Freeman, have many friends here—good brothers, even more!”
Ethan furrowed his brow and shook his head, saying, “I think it’s better not to rely on them. They might have been your friends back then, but it’s hard to say now.”
Guinevere Lee’s recent behavior explained everything.
Clay Freeman dismissed the concern; he pounded Ethan’s chest lightly and said, “What, you don’t believe in my charm? Don’t worry—he absolutely won’t betray me.”
“Exactly, exactly! Back then, he had the same relationship with us as you do now,” Alfred Freeman chimed in.
Ethan, seeing their insistence, could only sigh softly.
*The Freeman brothers had simple hearts and had never experienced real setbacks.*
*So no matter what Ethan said, they wouldn’t believe him.*
*”Let’s just hope they won’t sell us out for glory,” Ethan thought to himself.*
Afterward, Clay and Alfred Freeman led Ethan Smith to a prominent household in Grandeous City.
About half an hour later, the three of them arrived at the entrance of a courtyard.
The first thing they noticed was the grand and opulent gate, with the words “Miller Family” engraved upon it.
“This is the place,” Clay Freeman said.
He adjusted his hat and knocked on the Miller family’s door.
Soon, a servant came out to meet them.
The servant looked the three over and asked, “Who are you here to see?”
“I’m here to see Gilbert Miller. Tell him his best friend is here to see him,” Clay Freeman said casually.
“Can you give me your name?” the servant asked.
Clay Freeman glared and said, “Why do you need a name? Just do what I told you and stop wasting time!”
The servant, unsure of Clay Freeman’s status, didn’t dare press the issue and quickly responded, “Alright, please wait a moment. I’ll go inform him.”
A few minutes later, a well-dressed young man emerged from the courtyard.
This man was none other than Gilbert Miller.
Gilbert walked up to Clay Freeman, looked him up and down, and asked, “Who are you?”
Clay Freeman leaned in close to Gilbert’s ear and whispered, “I’m Clay Freeman.”
Gilbert’s face changed dramatically upon hearing this!
He immediately covered Clay Freeman’s mouth and glanced nervously at the nearby servant.
“You may leave now,” Gilbert said calmly.
“Yes, young sir,” the servant answered respectfully before retreating.
Once the servant was far enough away, Gilbert spoke in a panic, “Clay Freeman, why are you here? Don’t you know the Cloud Sect is searching for you?”
Clay Freeman rolled his eyes and said, “That’s why we came to you—for a hiding spot. So, can you help us or not?”
Gilbert nodded and said, “That’s not a problem. Follow me.”
Gilbert then took the lead and headed into the courtyard.
Clay Freeman flashed a smug grin at Ethan Smith and gestured, saying, “See? Didn’t I tell you?”
