After Fishing For 10 Years, I Became A Saint Without Knowing How To Raise Beasts

295 Adrian’s Motives

In a magnificent building in Sky City.

A man wearing a triangular mask was discussing something with another man wearing another triangular mask.

“Such a big incident had taken place in Sky City, but he’s ignoring the whole matter.”

“What can we do? Even if all seven of them are dead, no one would dare to tell anyone else about this. Would you dare to make this matter public? This matter clearly has nothing to do with us.”

Some of the high-ranking people in Sky City had already found out about the deaths of Adrian’s seven sons.

Of course, Adrian did not try to hide it. The news might even have been released by him.

After learning about the situation, most of Adrian’s 90-odd wives were ecstatic.

After these sons were killed, he would definitely want to make more, which meant that there was a chance to bear his child, which would increase their status in Sky City.

Although Adrian looked old and decrepit, he was still the City Lord of Sky City.

This status would not change.

Furthermore, if they were lucky, their own child might inherit the position of City Lord.

Dragons gave birth to Dragons and phoenixes gave birth to phoenixes. Still, it was a game of chance.

Furthermore, there was no one among the constellation race who was as powerful as Adrian.

This was a fatal weakness for their race. If Adrian were to die, the next City Lord of Sky City would likely be someone from another race.

At this moment, these two people, who were also members of the constellation race, were discussing this matter nervously.

“The problem now is very serious. If something really happens to the City Lord, then I’m afraid there will be infighting. Our constellation race will be at a disadvantage then, many other races are eyeing us covetously.”

“It can’t be helped. The status of our race is all due to City Lord Adrian.”

“So, do you have a plan? If he dies, what should we do? Should we run, or stay and fight?”

“Don’t ask me that. We can’t be sure about this right now. Who knows… Our City Lord might still live a long life.”

“What if he doesn’t?”

The two of them were silent after this.

Adrian was truly an invincible existence when he was young. Many years ago, he had already reached the first-grade of the Dao essence realm, but he had been stuck there ever since. At one point, he had even left Sky City to go somewhere, and then came back looking sick.

No one knew what he had encountered in that place, or where that place was.

However, based on what the two of them saw, they believed that Adrian probably would not live past the next century, which was not particularly short or long in this world.

They had to start making preparations. Waiting till his death would be akin to waiting for their own deaths.

“I heard that they’ve already started to divide up some of the property in Sky City.”

“I heard that too, but I don’t dare to act rashly now.”

“Yes, that is obviously very stupid. Do they think that the old man won’t notice?”

“They’re dancing on the tip of a knife. The old man could do away with his own sons, let alone these guys. Once he makes his move, these people are as good as dead.”

“Still, I’m curious. What do you think is the reason for that old man’s actions?”

The other party was silent.

The man continued, “Why would he give up his offspring?”

“There has to be some kind of motive or reason behind his actions. What does he hope to achieve from it? Is he trying to push himself into a dead end in a last-ditch effort to break through or live longer?”

After this person finished speaking.

The two of them were silent for a long time.

“Forget it, there’s no need to think too much about this. We haven’t even reached his level. How could we comprehend the old man’s thoughts? In any case, he’s still the hero of our race.”

The other person sighed and nodded.

“That’s true. Without him, we wouldn’t have what we have today.”
