Chapter 12

Before this, you had always felt inferior and couldn’t lift your head.

Moreover, you secretly had a crush on her, but she disappeared during that crisis.

This matter is the deepest secret in your heart, and also your greatest emotional knot—no one knows!

In fact, even she doesn’t know about your secret feelings for her...

Do you think this information is weighty enough?”

“Holy Lord Bennett, I know that before this, you even suspected that I, Yvonne Carter, had ulterior motives. But since I dared to invite you to the Fallen Sunset Mountain’s Ancient Temple of Silence, I naturally have the confidence to convince you!

Given your character, after arriving here, you spent over three hundred breaths—most of that time was spent setting up deadly traps outside the mountain just in case. I’ve already deduced this as well.”

“Holy Lord Bennett, there are many other things—embarrassing stories you don’t want to mention. For example, when you were three, you saw a puppy enjoying the ‘cycle of five grains’ droppings, eating with relish, and you were so tempted that you boldly tried it yourself—”

Chapter 7: Useless at Everything, Number One at Fearing Death

William Bennett’s charmingly handsome face was now full of a spectacular array of expressions.

He had always thought of himself as upright and aboveboard, but Yvonne Carter’s words had completely exposed his secrets!

Beside William Bennett, Emily Sullivan and Ethan Carter exchanged glances.

It seemed that Master Carter’s words contained a lot of information?

After realizing this, the two pursed their lips slightly, then looked at William Bennett with a rather strange expression.

The muscles on William Bennett’s face twitched a few times, and he felt he could hardly keep his dignity.

This Yvonne Carter—Master Carter—really! I never said I didn’t believe you, so why are you saying all this!

Am I, William Bennett, shameless?

“Master Carter, um—let’s talk about Annie Foster’s fate tribulation instead. As the Holy Lord—well, I still think this matter is the most important!”

William Bennett hurriedly interrupted Yvonne Carter before he could reveal anything more. If this continued, his dignity as Holy Lord would be completely swept away!

Seeing this, Yvonne Carter knew things were settled, and he smiled, “Based on the changes in Holy Lord Bennett’s expression earlier, this Master’s deduction has already detected a hidden crisis, so I had to display even a ten-thousandth of my deduction ability to convince Holy Lord Bennett.

After all, this Master is truly a once-in-a-millennium genius, inevitably envied by the heavens. Right now, fate is full of twists and turns, so I must eliminate all dangers in the bud.”

William Bennett was speechless at these words.

At this point, he had already restrained the intimidating aura of a Nascent Soul-level powerhouse, appearing just like an ordinary middle-aged man—clearly, in front of Yvonne Carter—Master Carter—it was safer to act like a regular person.

Seeing William Bennett correct his attitude, Yvonne Carter didn’t continue exposing him—after all, he was a very moral person, a man of high character. How could he casually expose others’ privacy?

Yvonne Carter gave himself a small reproach, then felt a great sense of accomplishment inside.

“Master Carter, I... Isn’t it enough that I admit my mistake? Master Carter, regarding Annie Foster, how exactly should we handle it?”

With his attitude corrected, William Bennett immediately became a bit servile, asking cautiously.

Yvonne Carter gave William Bennett a surprised look, then secretly pulled up his life file system for a closer look, confirming that William Bennett had been thoroughly ‘subdued’ and had no more messy, crooked thoughts, which put him at ease.

Indeed, William Bennett—don’t be fooled by his status as a Nascent Soul old monster and a big shot of the era. Emily Sullivan’s father’s evaluation of him was spot on: useless at everything, number one at fearing death!

Because this man was overly cautious, almost all the members of the Hua ancient clan had died, yet he was still living quite comfortably.

“There’s no need to elaborate on the countermeasures. Fairy Yvonne, you explain it to Holy Lord Bennett.”

Yvonne Carter gave Emily Sullivan a look.

“Alright, Master Carter, please wait a moment.”

Upon hearing this, Emily Sullivan immediately bowed deeply, adopting a very humble posture.

A Master of destiny like Yvonne Carter, who possessed real talent and learning and was also stunningly handsome, was rare in the world and could not be slighted.

After that, Emily Sullivan and William Bennett began to discuss.

However, for every detail, William Bennett would glance at Yvonne Carter, as if seeking his approval—Master, should you deduce this as well, is it safe enough?

At first, Yvonne Carter would cooperate and perform a deduction, checking the life files.

But when William Bennett even suspected that killing a few puppet death warriors might be a trap set up to destroy him, and wanted Yvonne Carter to repeatedly deduce every possible danger, Yvonne Carter really had the urge to slap him—seriously, does this guy have a persecution complex?

You’re a Nascent Soul old monster, nearly seven hundred years old, and you’re still so cautious about killing a few minor Golden Core puppet death warriors?

Yvonne Carter felt deep contempt for this man—so that glowing, immortal expert act before was all just for show!

Finally, the two finished their discussion.
