Chapter 370 The True Colors Of Ignatius
The promotion ceremony ended on an awkward note.
Regardless of whether Ignatius was smart or if he was scheming something, it was undeniable that his cultivation
level was at the top of Divine Realm.
Apart from the Divine Emperor, Emperor of Chanaea, and long-missing Asura Emperor, the others were not his
opponent.
Hence, Oswald and Gideon used Ignatius as a bargaining chip to go up against Richard.
Jonathan, Richard, and the others returned to Chard Hall.
Jonathan and the others were worried as they stood inside Chard Hall. However, Richard was calm as he looked at
the gloomy looks on everyone's faces before saying, “No need to worry, everyone. Even if today's matter did not
happen, Ignatius isn't a good person either. He followed Tristan's orders to come here. Obviously, he wants to take
control of Divine Realm.”
Beatrix was shocked as she said, “Master, the Divine Emperor is still alive. How can Ignatius take control over Divine
Realm?”
Richard replied, “Bee, didn't you know? The Divine Emperor wouldn't be in control of Divine Realm forever. If there
comes a day when the Divine Emperor does not need Divine Realm, he will leave. Plus, Tristan has been cultivating
all this while. Ignatius' cultivation is also very strong. If the father and son duo join hands, it won't be impossible for
them to force the Divine Emperor to step down. By then, my greatest tribulation will be considered to have
arrived.”
“So what you're saying is that this is the Divine Emperor's demonic tribulation,” Beatrix said.
Everyone paled when they heard that. They only just realized the greatness of the demonic tribulation.
Richard continued, “It doesn't matter if anything changes because my greatest tribulation will be the same. If the
Divine Emperor can overcome and escape his demonic tribulation, he won't care about Divine Realm anymore. By
then, Ignatius won't let me go. If the Divine Emperor can't overcome his demonic tribulation, there's nothing else
we can do.” He looked at Jonathan before continuing, “Jonathan, you are Tristan's demonic tribulation. We will rest
our hopes entirely on you.”
Jonathan looked at Richard. He suddenly felt the heaviness of the burden on his shoulders.
Beatrix frowned slightly and said, “Though you said that, Jonathan's cultivation at the moment is far from Ignatius',
let alone being compared to Master Tristan's.”
Richard replied, “Things will get better. Although there is still a huge gap between Jonathan's and their cultivation,
he is improving quickly. He'll have his opportunity to go up against them.”

He waved his hand and continued, “Nothing too serious will happen in the next three years. You all should leave.”
It was obvious that Richard was unwilling to continue the conversation.
However, he soon added, “Divine Realm is not a place for you to linger. You won't be under the noses of Ignatius
and Edward once you leave Divine Realm. They won't be able to do anything to you either. So it's best if you leave
as soon as possible.” He paused momentarily before continuing, “If I'm not wrong, Ignatius will reel some people in
and give them some benefits to build his organization. The biggest reason he came to Divine Realm is probably to
stop Jonathan from becoming stronger.”
Naturally, Jonathan understood what he meant.
Hence, Jonathan and the others hurried back to Sunny Condo.
They did not stay too long, leaving Divine Realm soon after.
Surprisingly, Beatrix followed along.
“Beatrix, you...” Jonathan and the others were surprised to see the gorgeous and cool Beatrix.
Beatrix grinned and responded, “Master let me follow you and the others. He also said although there would be
many dangers following you, there would also be many opportunities. Besides, don't you need someone by your
side to help you? You want to build an organization at Eastsummer. Won't you need someone talented like me?”
Jonathan was touched. At the same time, he was also happy as he replied, “That's great, then.”
After that, they sent Catherine back to Yaleview. She still needed to take care of Aaliyah. Plus, Jonathan would be
more relieved knowing that Catherine was staying home.
Only then did Jonathan and the others make their way to Eastsummer.
The weather at Lostaria was beautiful. The blue sky was filled with fluffy white clouds, and the sun shone brightly.
They took a plane to Rodunst before heading toward Eastsummer by car.
Ignatius was temporarily staying at an apartment in Divine Realm.
He was calm and did not seem to be angry.
Just then, a knock came from the door.
“Hello, Oswald and Gideon. Please come in,” Ignatius said calmly.
Oswald and Gideon had arrived together. Ignatius got up to welcome them when they entered.
He invited them to sit on the couch before taking a seat.
Oswald heaved a heavy sigh before saying, “Ignatius, I can't believe Richard would be so dense. What happened
today embarrassed us greatly.”
A sense of anger flashed across Ignatius' eyes. He said through clenched teeth, “Who does Richard think he is? I
would've killed him today if it weren't for the Divine Emperor.”
Oswald and Gideon laughed inwardly. That was the result they wanted.
“Let's stop talking about this. I'll make sure Richard regrets it sooner or later,” Ignatius continued.
Oswald and Gideon nodded before saying, “All right, all right. We won't talk about it anymore. If there's anything
you need, just let us know.”
“I will,” Ignatius replied. He then took out two brocade boxes and said, “Oswald, Gideon, you have helped me a lot.
I'm grateful for it. This is a small gift from me. I hope you'll accept it.” With that, he pushed the brocade boxes
toward them.
Oswald and Gideon were delighted. They suppressed their emotions and remained expressionless.
Oswald was a crafty one as he said, “Ignatius, you don't need to be so polite. We didn't do much for you. We can't
accept something that we don't deserve!”
Ignatius grinned. “My father always mentioned you two. This is nothing but a small gift. You'll receive more things in
the future.”
Oswald and Gideon stopped insisting. They reached for the brocade boxes and opened them.
Inside each of the boxes were three Immortal Pills.
It was indeed generous of Ignatius to gift them three Immortal Pills.
Plus, this was considered a “small gift” from him.
Oswald and Gideon could not help but secretly be in awe. Just how much wealth did Tristan accumulate?
Hence, it was not surprising to understand now how Ignatius had a high level of cultivation at such a young age.
After that, Ignatius sent those two sly old foxes out the door.
However, Ignatius was not at peace for long because soon, Edward arrived.
After Edward entered, he seemed very respectful in front of Ignatius. He called out, “Young Master!”
Ignatius wore a cold expression as he responded, “Have a seat.”
“Yes, Young Master!” Edward yelled before sitting opposite Ignatius.
Ignatius huffed in anger. “Oswald and Gideon, those b*stards, want to use me to go up against Richard. Yet they
didn't expect that I was pretending to be childish in front of them.”
Edward heaved a heavy sigh. He could feel the anger coming from Ignatius.
“Young Master, everything I have is given to me by you and Master. Whatever order you have, I'll do it for you.” He
paused momentarily before continuing, “Jonathan and I had many grudges against each other, but I never
expected him to be Master's son.”
Ignatius sneered and said, “If we're going to talk about family backgrounds, don't you also have to call him 'Young
Master?‘”
Edward hurriedly replied respectfully, “I'll only obey you and Master. If you want to honor him as my young master,
then he'll be my young master. If you don't want to, he's nothing to me.”
Ignatius hummed in satisfaction. “Edward, you have improved much throughout the past few years. Your cultivation
breakthrough is not bad, either. Don't worry. We won't mistreat you as long as you are obedient and do as my
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfather and I order you to.” Edward replied, “Yes, Young Master.”
He continued, “Young Master, if you think it's inconvenient for you to kill Jonathan, I can do it for you.”
Ignatius huffed. “You're dead meat if you kill him. The Divine Emperor won't let you kill someone from Divine
Realm.”
Edward was taken aback.
Ignatius continued, “It doesn't matter if the Divine Emperor falls. If I wanted to kill Jonathan, he would've died long
ago. I haven't killed him because my father still finds him useful. You won't understand even if I explain it to you.”
Edward lowered his head.
Ignatius added, “Remember this. I don't want to kill Jonathan. I only want two things. Firstly, I want to develop my
power and suppress Jonathan in terms of numbers and strength. Secondly, I want to make things difficult and
restrict him from doing anything.”
“Okay. I understand,” Edward replied immediately.
Ignatius asked, “What do you think we should do now?”
Edward was also an intelligent person. He pondered momentarily before saying, “We need to strike where it hurts
most. Since we want to increase our power, we can look for allies in Divine Realm and train them. Next, to restrict
Jonathan, we must start with the people beside him. We can do that by making his friends become his enemies or
become our allies. From my observation, there are many powerful women by his side. For example, there is Mabel
from the Department of National Security and Richard's disciple, Beatrix. Young Master, if you can take these
women as your wives, it'll be a heavy blow to Jonathan, whether it be his dignity or strength.”
Ignatius' eyes brightened. “That makes sense. I've met Beatrix. She's quite a beauty and suits my tastes.”
Edward grinned.
“However, these women cannot be compared to other ignorant girls. It won't be that easy to get them,” said
Ignatius.
Edward replied, “You have several Divine Masters and multiple tactics. You don't always have to chase after women
to get them. Women are easier to deal with once you get them into bed. The Divine Emperor doesn't allow us to kill
the people of Divine Realm, but he didn't say we can't use force on them. Besides, Jonathan also has a wife who is
drop-dead gorgeous.”
Ignatius laughed. “That makes sense.” He paused momentarily before continuing, “I have cultivated for more than
twenty years under the watchful eyes of my father and have never had a day off. Since I left him, I should enjoy
myself in this colorful world. As for Jonathan's wife, Mabel, and Beatrix, we'll discuss it later. I need you to go to
Lostaria and help me prepare a mansion right now. I want to find a few local beauties to be with me long-term.”
Ignatius was a carefree person and did whatever he wanted. He wanted to become a self-indulgent ruler that had
many wives. He preferred that kind of life and would not suppress his desires.
