He threw the Breaking Sky Hook and the Tier-6 Monster Core into the gourd and reminded Brother again, "There are only five days left before the Third Stage Assessment, so you’d better hurry up. Don’t let me go to Eden Cave empty-handed..."
This time, his younger brother really ate too much and fell sound asleep even before his elder brother finished speaking.
Owen Bertram worried: Although they had gone to great lengths to prepare, what if his brother messed up, and the new Flying Sword didn’t make it to Eden Cave in time for the contest, and he was defeated by Wayne Malvin? That would be truly embarrassing...
The Third Stage Assessment was already scheduled, and there would be no further delay. This was not something Owen Bertram could decide, so he could only focus on practicing his Sword Skill and Breaking Void Divine Ability, as well as mastering the Flying Sword Object System, so that he could hold his own at Eden Cave even without a new Flying Sword.
However, two days later, Andrew Oamond came running in, laughing, "My lord, there’s an interesting piece of news! The Amanda Academy was robbed last night."
Owen Bertram was surprised, "Who was the hero behind such a delightful event?" Then he emphasized to Andrew Oamond, "It really wasn’t me." In fact, Owen Bertram was reminded of the people who had robbed the Evans’ front room during the First Stage Assessment.
Andrew Oamond laughed, "Things are exploding over at the Hassan side, while the Central Prison is being questioned by His Majesty. They are now trying their best to find the culprits. But in my opinion, relying on the Hassans for such a big case is impossible."
As for the Central Prison, they are a bunch of useless people. Poor Evans Graham, hahaha!"
Owen Bertram was very interested, "There should be a Grandmaster guarding the Amanda Academy, how could the robbers succeed?"
Andrew Oamond was actually very curious.
Donald Lee and his men were staying in the Capital City military barracks as usual, looking calm but excited and nervous on the inside.
It was quite a coincidence. One of the young soldiers in the camp, his father was a high-ranking officer in the Imperial Guard in the Imperial Palace. One time, while drinking and chatting, the young soldier mentioned that his father was scheduling guard duty for the Grandmasters in the palace, and a group of experts were heading to Amanda Academy.
However, after waiting for so long without any results, the Grandmasters inevitably slackened, and there were some complaints. Just when a few of the Grandmasters were at a critical stage of breaking through their bottlenecks, the guards were a little short-handed, leaving a one-day gap in the security at Amanda Academy.
Donald Lee and other veteran soldiers were bold enough and decided to go for it!
They didn’t know the outcome of asking for military support yet, so this Spirit Jade would be a timely windfall. And they succeeded!
The Amanda Academy never imagined that something would happen on this one day. Their own defense was weak, and the Household Guards of Evans Graham were no match for Donald Lee.
When Evans Graham heard about this, he reportedly coughed up three mouthfuls of blood. Fortunately, the income from the second stage had already been transferred to the treasury, leaving only the third stage’s income of over ten million Spirit Jades in the Amanda Academy... But the shortfall from these two stages could not be compensated, so Evans Graham had clearly failed in his duties, and the reckoning would come when the Emperor asked for an account after the Dragon and Snake List competition was over.
Due to this case, the Capital City was on high alert, and Owen Bertram no longer went out, staying at home to Cultivate. One day, Lord Nick Liam suddenly visited, visibly ambitious and spirited, "The preparations for the Insect Battle Competition are all set, and the contest will start right after the Dragon and Snake List ends!"
