The Prince Who Was Raised in Hell

Chapter 51

“No! That’s not it!” Chris did not expect that Maisie would have such a big reaction, and he was startled.

He hurriedly blocked her path and explained, “He didn’t come, but someone else did.”

William noticed something fishy and asked, “Eh? What’s going on? Are you saying someone else is here to sell the same weight inscription?”

Maisie stopped in her tracks, and her expression turned solemn.

Chris quickly answered, “That’s not the case.

A Lawrence family member brought this weight inscription over, and he wanted me to verify its authenticity.

I noticed that the pattern was the same as the teenager’s, so I rushed over to let you two take a look at it.”

“I see…” Maisie felt slightly better.

She had the same reaction as William just now, thinking that someone else was selling the weight inscription.

If that was the case, it meant the youngster was a cheat.

When Chris mentioned that someone else was here, Maisie felt an ineffable pang of disappointment in her heart.

Nonetheless, after realizing the matter was not as she thought, Maisie’s mood lightened up.

“Oh, alright.

The Lawrence family, George and James’ family, right?” William took over the inscription that Chris passed to him.

Then, he glanced at it and nodded.

After he passed the inscription to Maisie, William turned to Chris and asked, “Did the guy inform you on the origin of this inscription?”

“This… I didn’t get the chance to ask him yet,” Chris admitted as his face reddened.

Maisie was still eyeing the inscription.

With her judgment skill and credibility, Maisie could naturally tell that the same person drew this inscription as the few inscriptions sold by the young man before.

At the thought of this, Maisie unconsciously tightened her grip on the inscription.

William peeked at Maisie, and he ordered Chris, “Well, invited the person to the back hall.

I have something to ask him.”

“Master… Master William, you want to meet him?” Chris was surprised.

After all, Chris knew that although William was not backed up by any family in Evergreen Town, nor was he a member of the Earlington of Efrax’s government or part of the royal family, his status was much higher than many heads of the families in this town as he was a Pulse Control Realm cultivator and an inscription master.

It was difficult for those heads of the families to even meet him.

Unexpectedly, William took the initiative to meet a Lawrence family’s normal member.

“What are you doing standing there?” Seeing that Chris was dawdling, William could not resist but urge him again.

Finally, Chris returned to his senses and hurriedly ran out.

As he was running, he secretly lamented how lucky the Lawrence family member was.

He got the chance to meet William! Chris could not help but wonder if the Lawrence family saved the universe in their past life.

William waited until Chris before saying to Maisie, “Lady Maisie, it’s inconvenient for you to meet a stranger.

How about when I’m questioning the Lawrence family member, you can stand behind the screen and listen to our conversation? Then, if you have any doubt, I can ask on your behalf.”

“Sure.

Thank you, Uncle William.” Maisie nodded.

The person James sent over was Thomas Lawrence.

The man in his late thirty was considered an elder in the Lawrence family, and he was rather influential in the family.

As Thomas usually followed James running errands, he had the chance to meet with people from all walks of life.

However, now that he was about to meet William, who was almost the same age as him, Thomas was so nervous that his face was pale, and his calves were trembling.

Even though William asked him to sit while they chatted, Thomas did not dare to do so.

Before he came, James exhorted Thomas multiple times to keep secret from the shopkeeper that Anita drew these inscriptions.

But, no one expected that Anita’s inscription would attract William.

Under William’s questioning, Thomas did not dare to hide anything from William, and he truthfully described what happened at the Lawrence family’s council chamber.

While listening to Thomas, William’s gaze kept flickering.

There were a few times where he wanted to interrupt Thomas, especially when he heard Anita had engraved the weight inscription on a third-grade weapon.

William almost wanted to voice out, but noticing that Maisie did not hint at him, William could only remain quiet.

After Thomas finished explaining, he noticed that he was drenched in sweat.

“Alright.

Please wait for a moment while I verify it in the chamber.

I’ll give you an answer soon.” William had many things to discuss with Maisie, so he let Thomas wait for him first.

‘Master William wants to verify it personally! Oh my goodness!’ Thomas felt his vision darkened as if he was about to faint.

He did not even reply to William.

When William entered the room and saw Maisie, he immediately said, “Lady Maisie, did you know earlier that inscriptions can be used on low-rank weapons? How’s that possible?!”

Maisie’s expression was complicated too.

After she pondered for a while, she replied, “Uncle William, I understand your concern.

The consensus of inscription skill is that we can only engrave on weapons of middle rank and above.

However, in truth, certain techniques can allow us to engrave on low-rank weapons.

Master Dakota told me about it before too.”

“What! Master Dakota, she…” William was shocked, but just as he said those few words, he realized that she did not want others to mention her.

Hence, William stopped mid-sentence.

Then, after thinking for a moment, he continued, “Lady Maisie, I’ve actually… Never… Never heard of that before…”

“I’ve only heard her mentioning it once.

Thus, when I saw the weight inscriptions, I had a familiar feeling,” Maisie explained, “Based on what the person said, the teenager named Chyntia seemed to have successfully done it. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Uncle William, if you’re still feeling dubious, let’s give it a try.

I’d love to see it too.”

Maisie kept the three weight inscriptions that Chris purchased from Bolot.

Then, they found a third-grade long knife, and Maisie personally attended to it.

Soon, under their surprised gaze, the inscription was engraved on the weapon.

After giving it a try, not only was the inscription in effect, but Anita’s weight inscription was much more powerful than William’s.

William instantly quietened, and there was also a complicated look in Maisie‘s eyes.

After a long time, William sighed deeply.

“I can’t believe that there’s such a genius in this world.

It seems that I was wrong before.

If that’s the case, I honestly want to meet this person.”

Maisie nodded.

“That’s right.

He‘s so young, yet he’s so gifted.

If Master Dakota knows about this, I‘m afraid she’ll immediately take him in as her disciple and guide him with all her heart.

However… However, this man’s so talented, so why is he entering the Lawrence family instead of the other way around?”

William also frowned when he heard that.

No matter what country, a son-in-law that entered his wife’s family had the most negligible status, and he would usually be useless.

Many of those son-in-laws’ hierarchy was only slightly higher than a servant’s.

Some of them were even worse than favored servants.

Nonetheless, as long as a man had self-respect and capabilities, they would not choose to enter their wife’s family.
