Chapter 494 Almost Crying from Envy
After his shock, Larry realized he had lost his composure. He sat back down and asked, "Free, is this news true or false?"
"Of course it's true," Free said. "Although I'm from a branch of the family, this matter has already spread throughout the family. And the Rivera family is also preparing to step into the spotlight. Since you're from the Bennett family, and Paisley came to Sunset City with you before, I'm telling you this news."
"Whew!"
Larry took a deep breath.
He hadn't expected the Bennett family to form a marriage alliance with the Rivera family.
Even more unexpected was that Free's background was actually the Rivera family.
"Larry..." Free looked at him.
Seeing his hesitant expression, Larry said, "Yeah, go ahead."
"You're from the Bennett family, and you've already cultivated Qi. Although I'm from the Rivera family, I have no qualifications to cultivate Qi at all. I'm getting old and don't hope to advance any further, but I have a son who's almost eighteen this year. Could you give him some guidance?"
Free had never asked anyone for help before.
This time he was asking Larry.
Over the years, he seemed to have unlimited glory on the outside.
But he truly had no status in the family at all.
His son in the Rivera family was also looked down upon, even treated like a servant.
He didn't want his son to live like this forever.
Only through martial arts practice could one get ahead and gain the family's respect.
Moreover, only if his son became a Martial practices grandmaster would his status in the family rise, and he'd have a chance to rescue his wife who was locked in the family dungeon.
"No problem."
Larry said with a smile.
During this time, Free had helped him so much, this small matter was no problem at all.
"It's just that you know my current situation. Let's talk about it after I get through this period."
"Thank you so much." Free stood up, grabbed Larry's hand, looking excited.
"What's our relationship? Why are you being so formal?" Larry laughed casually.
"Oh right." Free remembered something else and asked, "Let me tell you another piece of news. I heard that Paisley isn't from the Bennett family, but was adopted by Cody."
"What?" Larry was stunned.
Then it dawned on him.
No wonder he felt Paisley didn't have a high status in the Bennett family—she was adopted.
Chloe beside him lightly pinched Larry and said sourly, "What, now that you know she was adopted by the Bennett family, are you interested?"
Larry snapped back to reality and laughed casually, "What are you thinking? I'm just a bit surprised. By the way, did you already know Paisley wasn't Bennett family blood?"
"Yeah, I knew long ago," Chloe said with a pout.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Why should I tell you? Don't think I can't see that Paisley has feelings for you. Hmph, Larry, I'm warning you, don't think about other women." Chloe snorted.
Larry smiled awkwardly and didn't think much more about it.
He chatted with Free about the Rivera family.
From what he gathered, the Rivera family was about to step onto the stage.
Most likely for the conference in a few months.
And he could guess that by forming a marriage alliance with the Bennett family, the Rivera family would stand on the Bennett family's side.
He just didn't know what other deals the Bennett family and Rivera family had made.
Free was also reflecting on his own life.
"Larry, you don't know how bitter it is to be in an ancient martial arts family but unable to access the family's martial arts."
Although Larry couldn't fully understand Free's feelings.
He could imagine.
From Alden offering his life's wealth just to exchange for a cultivation method, you could see how precious methods for cultivating Qi were, and see the rules of family inheritance and sect inheritance.
It was precisely because of these rules that Martial practices declined.
However, this was also a good thing for society.
If everyone possessed martial arts skills, managing a country would be difficult.
Free opened up to Larry, talking about him and his wife.
Larry just listened quietly.
Soon, Alden arrived.
In the military district, in an open area, over a dozen helicopters were ready.
Larry looked at Alden and asked, "Alden, where is your treasure?"
Alden said with a smile, "It's right within Summer Nation's borders, in a natural cave in White Mountain. Back then, I went through great trouble to get this fortune to White Mountain."
Larry nodded, then looked at Free beside him and smiled, "Free, I need to trouble you with one more thing."
"What's our relationship? Whatever it is, just say it. If I can help, I definitely will."
Larry said, "Chloe wants to do special training in the military district for a while. Can you help arrange it?"
"Chloe?"
Free glanced at Chloe.
Seeing her delicate skin and seemingly fragile appearance, he couldn't help but ask, "Larry, are you joking? You know how tough special training is. Can she, a woman, handle it?"
"I can."
Chloe stepped forward, speaking with determination.
Larry smiled, "Don't underestimate her. She's stronger than me, already entered the third realm, just lacks some combat experience."
"What?"
Free and Alden exclaimed simultaneously, both looking at Chloe with strange expressions.
Alden walked around Chloe in a circle, asking doubtfully, "Larry, are you joking? Chloe has third realm Qi?"
Free also looked disbelieving.
Larry smiled, "It's true. She just can't use the Qi in her body very skillfully yet. After special training for a while, she should be able to use it proficiently."
"How did she enter it?" Alden looked at Chloe.
Chloe smiled and said, "Luck."
Alden was so envious he almost cried.
The gap between people was too big.
He had practiced hard for many years, cultivating external martial arts to the extreme, but still couldn't cultivate Qi.
Yet Chloe, at such a young age, already possessed third realm Qi.
Free was also envious.
But he offered his blessing, "Chloe, congratulations. From now on, Larry has a powerful helper. Together, you two are invincible."
Chloe was happy inside.
She even glanced at Larry, a smile on her lips.
That expression seemed to say, see, others say I can help you.
"Ahem!"
Larry coughed lightly and said, "Free, arrange for Chloe to stay in the military district. Time is pressing, I need to leave soon. Let me borrow a hundred soldiers."
"Alright."
Free nodded and ordered, "Howard, take a hundred men and go with Larry."
"Yes."
Howard immediately stood straight and saluted.
Larry didn't delay further and boarded the helicopter.
At the same time.
VitaGen Medical building, top floor.
"Larry took Chloe to the military district early this morning. News from the military district says Larry borrowed some helicopters from Free, brought a hundred soldiers, and left with Alden."
Megan listened to this intelligence, frowning slightly.
Then she ordered, "Keep a constant watch on Larry. I want to know his every move. See where he flies to. Once the plane lands, report immediately."
