Chapter 265: Wicked Old Woman
It was precisely because the fusion of bloodlines between parents could directly influence and even determine the talent and foundation of the next generation that marriages between children of large families had always emphasized compatibility in terms of status, class, and bloodlines.
Only when both parents’ bloodlines were equally strong could their union possibly produce even stronger descendants.
In the beginning, when Parker Mason insisted on marrying Nicola Wright, not only did Old Mrs. Mason strongly oppose it, but it also caused a considerable uproar in the capital. Almost everyone believed that Nicola Wright was not worthy of Parker Mason. Their union was seen as a waste of the Mason family’s excellent bloodline.
If it hadn’t been for the patriarch’s insistence, overcoming objections and pressure to make the marriage of Parker Mason and Nicola Wright possible, Nicola Wright might never have entered the Mason family’s doors.
However, who could have imagined that Sean was not the child of Parker Mason and Nicola Wright, and not even Nicola Wright’s biological son?
If not Nicola Wright, then who could it be? The Mason family’s bloodline was good, but far inferior to the royal bloodline of Prince Ashby. Yet Sean’s talent far exceeded Prince Ashby’s.
There were only two possibilities: either Sean’s biological mother’s bloodline was as excellent and powerful as the Mason family’s, resulting in an even stronger bloodline when merged, or Sean’s biological mother’s bloodline was inherently much stronger than the royal one. Even after merging with the Mason family’s bloodline and being somewhat hindered by it, Sean’s bloodline still remained far above the royal bloodline.
The first possibility was the most likely!
If it was the second, it would be too terrifying!
It could be called horror!
But no matter which possibility, Sean’s biological mother’s background was definitely extraordinary!
At least!
No weaker than the Mason family!
“This…”
Under the astonished and expectant gazes of everyone, Old Mrs. Mason hesitated for a moment, then shook her head again, cautiously saying, “I’ve been trying to find out the true identity of that bastard’s biological mother, but I’ve made no progress!”
“I think!”
“Only Williams, Parker, and that despicable woman Nicola Wright know the truth. Five years ago, Williams and that despicable woman Nicola Wright both died, and only Parker disappeared without a trace!”
“Before Sean was released from prison, Bernardo and I sent people to Hilshire to capture him. We wanted to use his life to force Parker to show up, but we didn’t expect that the bastard would deceive us, secretly join the military, activate his bloodline, and dramatically increase his strength. He’s no longer something we, the Mason family, can withstand…”
After joining Prince Ashby, Old Mrs. Mason had learned from Prince Ashby about Sean’s identity as the “General Wolf of the North.”
She almost regretted it to death!
If she had known Sean’s background earlier, how could she have underestimated the enemy, allowed Bernardo to act recklessly and repeatedly stumble at Sean’s hands, allowing Sean to fight his way from Hilshire to the capital step by step?
Unfortunately!
It was too late for regrets!
“You don’t know?”
Prince Ashby coldly said, “Then how do you know for sure that Parker Mason is Sean’s biological father and Nicola Wright is definitely not Sean’s biological mother?”
This matter was of great importance and could not tolerate any negligence!
Prince Ashby had to find out whose bloodline flowed through Sean’s veins!
“Blood type!”
Old Mrs. Mason said, “At first it was because of blood type!”
“When Sean was a child, he suffered from a severe illness and needed a blood transfusion. Parker had type A blood, and that despicable woman had type AB. Parents with these two blood types cannot have a child with type O blood!”
“But!”
“Sean has type O blood!”
With a cold snort!
Old Mrs. Mason continued, “After I found something was wrong, I secretly sent someone to do paternity tests for them separately. The results clearly showed that Sean is Parker’s biological son!”
“That despicable woman is not Sean’s biological mother!”Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
She spoke confidently!
Obviously not lying!
“So that’s how it is!”
Prince Ashby’s face darkened as he nodded and said solemnly, “I’ll send someone to investigate the true identity of that mysterious woman!”
Then!
He looked at Fergus Archer!
He said, “Judging from Sean’s rapid progress over the past five years, his bloodline is indeed comparable to a high-level spirit beast, or even better!”
“So!”
“If he is really still alive and has killed the Black-scaled Python carefully raised by Lord Archer, then when Lord Archer captures him alive and uses the Dragon Cauldron to refine him, advancing to the Bright Realm should be a certainty!”
This was a great discovery!
For Prince Ashby, it was also a great opportunity!
The Black-scaled Python was more of a threat than a blessing. Prince Ashby had been worried that Fergus Archer’s path to advancement would be cut off. With his volatile temperament, he might act recklessly out of anger and become uncontrollable!
Now, things had changed!
Using Sean and the Dragon Cauldron, he could continue to tempt Fergus Archer’s appetite until Prince Roscoe’s faction was completely destroyed!
As for what would happen after destroying Prince Roscoe’s faction…
By then, if Fergus Archer really captured Sean alive, whether or not to keep the promise and lend the Dragon Cauldron to Fergus Archer, and whether or not to let Fergus Archer refine Sean, would depend on Prince Ashby!
Sean’s bloodline was so powerful, who the hell wouldn’t want to capture and refine him?
Even Prince Ashby, as prestigious as he was, was no exception!
“You old hag know your place!”
After contemplating for a moment, Fergus Archer finally gave up his intention to kill Old Mrs. Mason on the spot and snorted, “Ten days! I will only stay in the capital for ten days!”
“Within ten days!”
“Send someone to find Sean, or else, before I leave, I’ll still destroy your entire Mason family!”
Old Mrs. Mason’s face looked as if she had eaten dog shit!
However, facing the threat and intimidation of Fergus Archer, Old Mrs. Mason cursed inwardly but could only express gratitude outwardly, saying, “Thank you, thank you, Lord Archer, for your magnanimity!”
“I will definitely!”
“I will do my best!”
With that, she wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, secretly relieved. Her heart, which had been suspended, finally settled down. Although there were only ten short days, who knew what could happen in those ten days?
As long as there was time, there was a chance!
And hope!
Seemingly remembering something, Old Mrs. Mason turned to Prince Ashby hesitantly and said, “Your Highness Prince Ashby, there is one more matter I’m unsure whether to mention or not…”
“What is it?”
Prince Ashby frowned, “Just say it!”
“Alright!”
Old Mrs. Mason nodded and continued, “Prince Ashby, you should know that five years ago, Sean was arrested in Hilshire for rape. The woman he raped was a woman called Cecelia Moore!”
“It’s like fate playing tricks on people!”
“Sean and Cecelia had only one night together, but that one time, Cecelia became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter for him!”
“Their daughter’s name is Phyllis, and she’s over four years old now!”
“A while ago!”
“Bernardo sent people to Hilshire, captured Phyllis, and injected her with Colored Glaze Holy Water. As a result, Phyllis didn’t die but instead had her bloodline activated by the Colored Glaze Holy Water!”
“Later, Sean went to Crane to participate in an underground auction, aiming to obtain Ladies Star Grass to suppress Phyllis’s bloodline!”
“From this, it can be seen that Phyllis must have inherited Sean’s powerful bloodline!”
“So, if we capture Cecelia and Phyllis, the mother and daughter, and bring them to the capital, we can force Sean out of hiding or directly refine Phyllis. Isn’t this a win-win?”
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback!
Especially Chuck Campbell and the other heads of the capital’s families, whose eyelids jumped, and the corners of their mouths twitched involuntarily several times, looking at Old Mrs. Mason as if she were a heartless monster!
Damn!
That was ruthless!
If exposing Sean’s background was for Old Mrs. Mason’s self-preservation and survival, that was understandable; but now, she was deliberately dragging Cecelia and Phyllis into the abyss, taking advantage of their misfortune and kicking them while they were down!
Unscrupulous!
Utterly shameless!
Phyllis was just a little girl over four years old!
Parker Mason was Old Mrs. Mason’s own son, Sean her grandson, and Phyllis her great-granddaughter!
Even in the capital, where intrigue and deception were rampant, and among these ruthless family heads who were used to scheming, they were appalled by Old Mrs. Mason’s despicable actions!
Unimaginably chilling!
At least!
They couldn’t see themselves doing such shameless and inhuman things!
Old Mrs. Mason of the Mason family was truly wicked!
“Alright!”
Fergus Archer was also momentarily stunned, but immediately after, he burst out laughing, seemingly very satisfied with Old Mrs. Mason’s proposal, and nodded, “Then hurry up and capture Sean’s wife and daughter and bring them to the capital for me!”
“That bastard killed my Black Scale Python!”
“I’ll personally torture his wife and refine his daughter, making him wish it were him who was killed!”
There was a chilling murderous intent in his words!
“I’ll arrange it…”
Prince Ashby thought for a moment and said solemnly, “Based on the situation of the previous battle in Hilshire, Sean’s foundation is in Hilshire, and the forces he left behind there are not to be underestimated!”
“If we rashly send people to capture them, we might alert them, making them more prepared and possibly hiding in advance!”
“So!”
“How about this: I’ll send someone with Prince Ashby’s command to go to Hilshire and deceive Cecelia and Phyllis, the mother and daughter, into coming to the capital. Once they’re in the capital, they’ll be at our mercy!”
As a royal family member, Prince Ashby was already involved in a power struggle with Prince Roscoe, and they were fighting each other viciously. Naturally, he wouldn’t have any sympathy or compassion!
Phyllis, huh?
Sean’s bloodline inheritance, huh?
Fergus Archer wanted it!
And Prince Ashby wanted it too!
