“This Saint Realm spear you’re talking about, it wouldn’t happen to be the one forged from the Silverwyrm’s spine, would it?” Skyler asked with a look that hovered somewhere between amused and not.

Seamus was instantly taken aback. “How do you know about that?”

Skyler hadn’t been at the celebration banquet yesterday, so had Rosie and Teagan told him about it?

Skyler didn’t bother hiding anything, and the smile on his face grew a touch deeper. “Because that Saint Realm spear is right here in my hands at this very moment.”

“What?” Hearing Skyler’s words, Seamus and the others couldn’t help crying out in astonishment.

But they quickly caught themselves.

Seamus let out one cold laugh after another. “Is that so? Then take it out and let us have a look!”

He’d thought he was already plenty good at talking big, but he’d never expected Skyler to be an even bigger blowhard, actually daring to claim that the Saint Realm spear was in his hands.

He should take a good look at himself in the mirror. Was he even worthy?

Even Helen couldn’t help feeling a twinge of worry on Skyler’s behalf.

No matter how impressive Skyler was, he was still just a mere Postnatal Realm martial artist, so how could a Saint Realm weapon possibly be something a martial artist of his level could own?

Sure enough, Skyler shook his head. “Bad timing. I didn’t bring it with me when I left today. If you all want to see it, I can bring it out for you to get a look at tomorrow, I suppose.”

Seamus laughed the moment he heard this. “Why wait until tomorrow? Why don’t you head back and grab it right now so you can show it to us?”

Freya and Winston wore full-on sneers as well.

“That’s right, no time like the present. It’s still early anyway, so you’ve got plenty of time to head home and fetch it now.”

“Where do you live? How about I drive you back to get it?”

Everyone looked at Skyler with mocking amusement on their faces.

Didn’t Skyler love to talk big? Now let’s see how he gets himself out of this one.

“That’s enough!” But just then, Alice snapped from off to the side, “None of you are to make trouble!”

She didn’t believe that Saint Realm spear was in Skyler’s hands either.

If she let Skyler get backed into a corner, then the friction between him and the Younts would only become even harder to smooth over down the road.

Hearing this, Freya and Winston hurriedly held their tongues.

Seamus curled his lip too, and for Alice’s sake, he stopped pressing Skyler.

But just as they were about to leave, Skyler suddenly spoke up calmly, “Hold on! Did I say you could go?”

“Hm?” Seamus and the others halted in their tracks.

Connor assumed Skyler was going to keep stubbornly making a scene over the Saint Realm spear, and couldn’t help letting out a cold snort. “What a fool, throwing away his dignity when it’s handed to him!”

Even Alice’s expression changed, because she’d already smoothed things over for Skyler, so why couldn’t he take the out she’d given him? Did he really have to drag this out until he’d lost every last shred of face?

Seamus, Freya, and the others, on the other hand, grew delighted.

Seamus taunted, “What, did you decide to go back and fetch that Saint Realm spear after all?”

Skyler swept a light glance over Seamus and ignored him, because there was no need for him to prove anything to them.

Instead, his gaze passed over the Dragon Essence in Alice’s hand. “This Dragon Essence, isn’t it something the Younts can’t use?”

Seamus and the others were slightly puzzled. What did Skyler mean by that?

And not far off, Freya and Winston immediately started to sneer.

“Skyler, so at the end of the day, it turns out you were after the Dragon Essence all along,” Winston said with a cold laugh.

Freya’s face was full of mockery too. “Exactly. Just a moment ago you were saying you wouldn’t lower yourself to use anything of the Younts, so how are you going back on your word this fast?”

Even Helen shot Skyler a puzzled look.

And by now Connor and Seamus had caught on as well.

Connor snorted coldly. “I already said it. My family’s Dragon Essence is something you’re not fit to use, you little bastard!”

Seamus’s eyes flickered. “Skyler, this Dragon Essence was given to the Younts by Ms. Leonard. You want some? Fine.”

Seamus pointed at the ground and said, looking down his nose at him, “Get on your knees and beg me, and I’ll put in a good word with Dad for you and get him to agree to spare you a single drop.”

Skyler had humiliated him before.

Today, he was going to win that pride right back.

Skyler let out a cold smile. “Heh, the Younts’ Dragon Essence? Connor, do you really believe the Leonards gave your family Dragon Essence because they took a liking to Seamus’s talent?

“No matter how far the Leonards have fallen, and no matter how low Jennifer’s standards are, there’s no way she’d ever think anything of a good-for-nothing like him!”

“You!” At those words, Seamus flew into a towering rage.

Skyler actually dared to call him a good-for-nothing.

Connor’s face darkened like a storm cloud. “Oh? Then why do you think Ms. Leonard gave us the Dragon Essence?

“If not for Seamie, don’t tell me it was for a good-for-nothing like you?”

“That’s right.” Skyler didn’t hide it in the slightest. “If it weren’t for that girl Jennifer wanting to get on my good side, do you really think a family like yours would be worthy of the Dragon Essence she gave you?”

Connor was so angry he nearly laughed, because Skyler really had the nerve to say it.

Freya and Winston hadn’t expected Skyler to be so shamelessly full of himself either.

The esteemed eldest daughter of the Leonards, and he actually dared to call her a slip of a girl and claim she wanted to get on his good side?

He’d lost it! He’d completely lost it!

Skyler paid them no mind whatsoever and went on, “Now that I’ve cut ties with the Younts, what right do any of you have to use this Dragon Essence?”

Connor couldn’t help laughing in sheer fury. “Fine, fine, fine. Since you say Ms. Leonard gave us this Dragon Essence because of you.

“Then all right—if you’ve got what it takes, have Ms. Leonard come here and take it back!”

Seamus laughed coldly too. “That’s right. Didn’t you say she gave you that Saint Realm spear as well? You two must be pretty close, so if you’ve got what it takes, call her over right now!”

Freya and Winston were full of scorn as well, eager to see what Skyler would do now.

“Skyler…” Helen couldn’t help growing a little worried.

Though she didn’t know any Jennifer, from the sound of it the woman seemed to be the eldest daughter of the Leonards of Imperia.
