Chapter 238 The Power of Pupil Technique
Answer the question?
So was there still a chance for them to live?
Sean’s voice wasn’t loud, but when it reached the ears of Old Mr. Lewis and the others, it was like heavenly music enveloping them. They opened their eyes wide, the excitement on their faces beyond description!
It felt like they had been given a new lease on life!
“Thank you, Mr. Mason, for sparing us!”
The ten glanced at each other, inhaled deeply as if by agreement, and bowed in thanks toward Sean’s retreating figure. They then stood up, wiped the cold sweat from their brows, and followed him in long strides.
The main lobby on the ground floor!
Sean stopped, his back to Old Mr. Lewis and the others, and asked, “You all used to follow the Mason family, so you should know quite a bit about their affairs, right?”
Everyone felt a twinge in their hearts.
It was clear to anyone with eyes that Sean had come to the capital to seek revenge on the Mason family. He had just eradicated the Jefferson family last night. Was he now in a hurry to deal with the Mason family?
“Mr. Mason.”
Rocco Lewis responded, “Bernardo is ruthless in his dealings and inherently suspicious. He only summons us when he finds us useful.”
“In his eyes, we’re no different from the disposable servants of the Mason family, just dogs they keep. He’s never treated us as humans.”
“We were forced by Bernardo to participate in the siege of Hilshire.”
Seizing the opportunity, Rocco Lewis shifted all the blame onto the Mason family, casting himself as a weak, pitiful innocent victim.
Sean just sneered at this.
“Really?”
Sean replied coldly without turning his head, “So what?”
“How much do you know about the Mason family?”Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
Rocco Lewis sensed Sean’s impatience and dared not continue speaking. Aron Lawson cautiously said, “We know most of the affairs on the table. If Mr. Mason wants to ask, we will tell everything we know!”
“As for those secret affairs that were never made public, we probably…”
“We probably don’t know much.”
As these words left his mouth, Aron Lawson’s heart pounded. After all, Sean had stated earlier that their answers had to satisfy him for them to have a chance at survival.
But the problem was…
They truly didn’t know much!
At this moment, Sean slowly turned around, his icy gaze directly meeting Aron Lawson’s. He snorted, “So you’re saying, to me, you’re worthless, right?”
“This…”
Aron Lawson’s scalp tingled, and the cold sweat that had just subsided began to bead again. He fell to his knees before Sean and hurriedly said, “If Mr. Mason has any questions, please feel free to ask.”
“If I can’t answer, there’s no need for Mr. Mason to act, I…”
“I will just kill myself as an apology!”
The head of the prestigious Lawson family was nearly scared out of his wits by Sean’s look.
The other nine were also terrified, feeling as if they were walking a tightrope at death’s door.
To say time was passing like molasses would not be an exaggeration!
“Mr. Mason.”
Finally, it was Old Mr. Lewis who bravely stepped forward, his voice heavy, “If Mr. Mason is asking about the incident five years ago when the Mason family framed Mr. Mason, I do have some knowledge…”
“Oh?”
Sean turned to look at Old Mr. Lewis.
Old Mr. Lewis continued, “I don’t mean to hide anything from Mr. Mason. I reached the Complete Stage seven years ago, and I owe my success to the help of the previous head of the Mason family, your grandfather.”
“I had a private friendship with your grandfather, so I know something about the Mason family.”
Sean’s pupils constricted slightly.
Five years ago!
Back then, Sean was still the young master of the Mason family, and his grandfather was still alive!
At that time, the Mason family was even more powerful than now, with as many as eight practitioners at the Complete Stage. There were countless capital families following the Mason family, and small clans like the Lewis family were inconspicuous in the vast network of the Mason family.
The fact that his grandfather had helped Old Mr. Lewis reach the Complete Stage was somewhat surprising to Sean.
After his grandfather’s death…
The old Mrs. Mason seized the opportunity to take power, propped up Bernardo, and carried out a thorough purge of his grandfather’s direct connections that lasted for two years, firmly taking control of the Mason family!
Of the eight Complete Stage practitioners, three died in the purge, leaving only five!
In the Battle of Kats River, Sean killed two more!
Now, only three remain!
“Come with me,” Sean said.
In front of so many people, Sean didn’t directly ask his question. Instead, he turned and walked away, ascending the staircase. Without turning back, he said to the five Complete Stage practitioners, “I ask you esteemed seniors to remain here. If there is any movement from them, kill them immediately!”
“Agreed!”
The five nodded in unison.
Rocco Lewis and the others were taken aback, their gaze shifting to Old Mr. Lewis. They thought to themselves, ‘Old man, when you follow Mr. Mason upstairs, you better speak wisely and answer Mr. Mason’s questions honestly! The lives of all nine of us depend on you…’
Old Mr. Lewis understood their intent and nodded. With a confident stride, he followed Sean upstairs.
Inside a room on the third floor!
After Sean and Pupil Wolf entered, Spirit Wolf stayed at the door. As Old Mr. Lewis followed into the room, Spirit Wolf closed the door behind him, taking up guard duty outside.
“Please have a seat.”
Sean pointed to the couch in the room and said, “Could I trouble you to temporarily seal your internal dark energy and not resist?”
“Huh?”
Old Mr. Lewis was taken aback.
Wasn’t he supposed to answer questions???
Why would he need to seal his dark energy to answer questions???
Little did he know!
As a dark energy practitioner, once you self-seal your internal dark energy, you fall into a state of extreme weakness, even weaker than an ordinary person who doesn’t practice cultivation!
It was like handing over your life and well-being completely to someone else, at their mercy!
“Are you unwilling?”
Sean didn’t explain. If there was any blame, it could only be that Old Mr. Lewis’s level was too high, while Pupil Wolf was only in the early stages of dark energy. If Old Mr. Lewis did not seal his own dark energy, Pupil Wolf would harm herself if she attempted to forcefully use her eye technique.
Previously, on the banks of the Kats River, Pupil Wolf had, for Sean, forcefully used a forbidden technique twice in a row. Her eyes had turned blood red and had even shed tears of blood. The toll on her had been significant!
Sean couldn’t let her take such risks for him again!
“Alright!”
Old Mr. Lewis hesitated for a moment. Although he didn’t know what Sean was planning, he had come prepared to die. He did not fear death, so why would he fear the sealing of dark energy?
After all!
If Sean wanted to harm him, even if he didn’t seal his dark energy, he wouldn’t have a chance to survive!
“I will do!”
Old Mr. Lewis strode to the couch, sat down cross-legged, and placed his hands across his chest. He decisively activated his dark energy and initiated the self-sealing mode.
Ten seconds later, his face turned pale.
With a sound of a sharp exhale, about half a minute later, Old Mr. Lewis suddenly coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood. His once unrivaled momentum quickly faded, and he seemed to age a few years right before their eyes.
He looked as though he was on his last breath!
He lifted his head towards Sean, gesturing weakly, “I’m ready.”
“Hmm.”
Sean nodded and then motioned to Pupil Wolf, “Begin.”
Pupil Wolf walked to the front of the couch, bent down to look into Old Mr. Lewis’s eyes and softly said, “Don’t dodge, don’t resist, don’t let your thoughts wander, just look into my eyes…”
“Yes, that’s good, just like that.”
As Old Mr. Lewis and Pupil Wolf locked eyes at such a close distance, he involuntarily winced when he saw Pupil Wolf’s deep, black eyes. His pupils began to dilate.
Pupil Wolf’s eyes were like a deep, bottomless vortex. A single glance could ensnare a person, making it impossible to extricate themselves!
In just over ten seconds, Old Mr. Lewis’s gaze became vacant, his mind a chaotic mess, and his consciousness gradually blurred.
Two minutes later!
Pupil Wolf took a deep breath and said, “Boss, you can ask now.”
