Chapter 17
After Violet said that he secretly observed Lucas and Fabian’ s expressions. From their reaction just now, the two did not seem to know him. Hence, Violet was suspicious about their identities. Besides being famous in Salleria, the surrounding regions should also have heard about Violet before. Moreover, these two men were well-trained warriors of the True Martial Realm. Thus, it was impossible that they did not react to his name but were triggered at the mention of Nathalia’s name instead.

Based on this observation, it seemed that not only the surface of things that could identify them had been cleaned up.
Violet was secretly puzzled, but he still waited for Lucas and Fabian’s reply.

However, Lucas did not directly answer Violet’s question, and he just waved his hand as he said, “Bolot, I believe that fate brought us together. My name’s Lucas Campbell, and this is my pledged brother, Fabian Hopkins. We happened to pass by the area and saved you. What happened? You’re the only survivor at the scene, and the others were seemed to have died tragic…”

Bolot,
Caspian,
“A few warriors stopped us and attacked us,” Violet quickly answered.
Violet
Caspian
“Only warriors?” Lucas was shocked.
“What did you do, Lucas?” Violet questioned puzzledly.
Violet
Caspian
”Bolot, we felt a trace of spiritual Qi at the scene when we found you.”
Bolot,
Caspian,
Although Lucas sounded indifferent, Violet could tell that there was doubt and a hint of interrogation in his tone.
Violet
Caspian
”Lucas, I think I know why you felt traces of spiritual Qi there. When we met the warriors, they utilized a Talisman of Concentrated Vitality just to kill us. However, why did you say only warriors? I’m not trying to hide anything, but I don’t understand what you’re saying.” Violet laughed awkwardly.
Violet
Caspian
“Warriors using a Talisman of Concentrated Vitality?” Lucas‘s gaze became serious, and he looked at Violet as he asked, “You’re sure he’s not a cultivator?”
Violet
Caspian
Suddenly, an invisible sense of oppression surged over.
“Lucas it is true as I’ve expected. He’s at least at stage five of the True Martial Realm!” Violet was secretly amazed.
Violet
Caspian
Nonetheless, he still kept a puzzled expression on his face. Then, he asked, “Lucas, when the warrior was hurt, he pressed the Talisman of Concentrated Vitality onto his injury so that his Qi and blood could activate the talisman. I saw it with my own eyes, and it’s true. However, What’s a cultivator?”
When he heard Violet‘s observation, Lucas glanced elsewhere. He chose not to answer this time, and Fabian replied to Violet instead, “Bolot, don’t you know what’s the difference between a warrior and a cultivator?”

Bolot,
Caspian,
Violet shook his head. He was not acting that time as he did not know the difference.

Lucas and Fabian stared at Violet for a while. Then, after making sure that he was not lying, Fabian explained the difference to Josua. Later, Violet finally understood that a warrior or martial artist was a person who practiced True Martial Realm. Once he reached the Pulse Control Realm, he would not be addressed as a warrior anymore, but a cultivator instead.
Violet
Caspian
Josua.
Caspian.
Violet
Caspian
Being blocked and killed by a warrior was different than being done so by a cultivator.
“So, that’s the difference.” Violet suddenly realized.
Violet
Caspian
Nonetheless, at the same time, Violet was even more suspicious of Lucas and Fabian’s identities. Moreover, it was apparent that they were far more knowledgeable than him as a prince. Thus, their backgrounds must not be simple either.
Violet
Caspian
Then, Lucas explained, “It seems that you weren’t aware of the difference. I must’ve misunderstood you, Josua. I hope you don’t blame me. However, do you know anyone that has deep hatred against you? As far as I know, if a warrior activated the Talisman of Concentrated Vitality, they weren’t only using up their Qi and blood but also their life. Therefore, unless that person despised you to their bones, it’d be unlikely that a warrior would choose such a brutal measure.”
Josua.
Caspian.
“What else could it be? It‘s another family feud.” Violet appeared aloof.
Violet
Caspian
When he was gobbling up the food, he already planned out a semi-true lie in his mind. Hence, not only could Violet use it to hide his true identity, but he could also find out how much understanding Lucas and Fabian had of Salleria. In this lie, Violet depicted himself as the rising member of the family, and there was a chance for him to compete with the other family members to be the future head of the family. However, as he was mothered by a concubine and not of a direct lineage, he must make a significant contribution to convincing the whole family.

Hence, Violet accepted an extremely dangerous task in the hope that he could prove his capability and worth. Unfortunately, someone from the direct lineage of the family made up charges against him, framed, and even sent someone to assassinate him. In the end, he could not return to his home.
Violet
Caspian
“Thankfully, both of you saved me. Otherwise, I’ll surely become a lonely soul that died unjustly.” Violet once again thanked Lucas and Fabian.
Violet
Caspian
The description of his identity and experiences was a half-truth lie. Unless the person knew who was, they would not have seen through his words.
At this moment, Violet just probed and tried his luck based on Lucas and Fabian’s unresponsiveness.
Violet
Caspian
After quite some time, Lucas nodded. “So that’s what happened. Then, I believe our situations are similar. Nonetheless, we still have a slim chance to turn it around.”
When Violet heard that, he was shocked. He had a slight hunch that Lucas and Fabian saved him for this slim chance. However, there was still one last thing that he needed to confirm.
Violet
Caspian
“Lucas, Fabian, I’d like to ask how long l passed out. I’m worried as those warriors didn’t report back. Those people that hired them would send more assassins over, and this will implicate the two of you,” Violet admitted.
Violet
Caspian
Fabian immediately replied to him, “You were out for fifteen days, but there’s no need to worry about anything. Based on our paces, normal warriors won’t be able to catch up on us. Moreover, no one would think that we brought you to this place.”
Although Violet already guessed it, he was still stunned when he heard that he was unconscious for fifteen days. At the same time, he also finally understood why he was famished. Nevertheless, he was confident that these two men would not doubt his identity anymore. Besides, they did not appear to be from Salleria or the nearby regions.
Violet
Caspian
“Do you mind telling me where we are?” Violet asked after pondering for a moment.
Violet
Caspian
Lucas waved his hand. “There’ s no need to rush. Bolot, you don’t have to test us anymore. To be frank, there’s a reason why we saved you. However, you don’t have to worry about it as this matter might be beneficial for you too. Maybe it’s an opportunity from the universe, and you can return to your family, and perhaps seek revenge.”
Bolot,
Caspian,
‘Ah! Just as I thought! They brought me here because if I’d disagree with their plans, it‘ll be convenient for them to kill me!’ Violet secretly snorted.
Violet
Caspian
Despite thinking that, Violet’s face was still showing a harmless puzzled expression. “Lucas, you’re exaggerating! The reason that you mentioned is related to the slim chance that can turn your situation around?”
