Summit Farmer-Chapter 2271 - 2269: Adrian Corbett Seeks Protection

After chatting for a while about the Harrison clan, Peter Brown learned something about their situation. In the Second Heaven world, every family like the Harrison clan has similar practices of propagating their family bloodline in the First Heaven. After all, the First Heaven is vast, and the families do not influence each other significantly. Encroaching on other worlds in the First Heaven doesn’t happen often, especially because powerful families can create their own worlds, so they don’t care much about others. Only those families that are not strong enough to create their own worlds would seize worlds from other races.

With a wry smile, Peter Brown could only shake his head at his own cultivation. What is considered a weak family in the Second Heaven was actually very strong in the First Heaven.

Fortunately, Peter had received an inheritance from the Human Clan. Although he didn’t know how powerful this inheritance would be in the Second Heaven, having it provided him with the assurance needed for development.

"Brother Wang, I know of an elixir called the Rejuvenation Pill. If you take it, your damaged area below the navel can be restored!"

As Adrian Corbett said this, he looked at Peter Brown with bright eyes.

Peter was initially puzzled, then he understood. He had come from the First Heaven, and Adrian clearly knew something about his situation. Adrian wanted to form an alliance with him, knowing that once he regained his cultivation, Peter would advance quickly.

"Why?" Peter asked.

Although Peter didn’t specify what he was asking, Adrian understood his meaning and replied with a bitter smile, "Brother Wang, since there’s plenty of time now, let me explain my situation to you."

Peter raised his teacup and took a sip, his gaze fixed on Adrian’s face.

With a sigh, Adrian explained, "Our family has many children of direct lineage. Although my mother was favored by my father, he has many children, so I receive few resources. With my mother recently passing away, my position in the family is awkward. It’s only because of my father’s grief over my mother’s death that I managed to get a quota from the family to join the sect through the mines, as my mother requested."

Hearing this, Peter could feel the familial struggle and nodded inwardly.

With another sigh, Adrian continued, "While my mother was alive, the family treated me decently, even if they targeted me. But with her passing, that family bond is fading. I can sense that those of direct lineage have the intention of killing me. I used this quota to enter the sect, essentially as a way to avoid disaster. I know my strengths—I’m good at business, but when it comes to cultivation, I fall short."

"Do you think I can rise?" Peter directly asked since the conversation had reached this point.

Adrian’s eyes lit up again as he said, "I certainly won’t get family support in the sect. In fact, I may even be suppressed. I can’t rely on the power of the Second Heaven. I’ve researched your background, and to be honest, I’ve known for a while that you came from the First Heaven!"

As he spoke, Adrian looked at Peter nervously.

Peter wasn’t too concerned about this, believing that anyone paying attention could have figured out his situation.

"There seem to be a few others who came from the First Heaven. Why don’t you seek them out?"

"When it comes to cultivation, I’m no match, but in business, I’m not afraid of anyone. I have a keen insight. I’ve analyzed everyone’s situation. Though some people also arrived from the First Heaven, their battle prowess is weak. You, on the other hand, have a sealed area below the navel but have cultivated the Body Refinement Layer to the Fourth Layer in such a short time. In the First Heaven, you must be a strong person, perhaps a super strong person. Once you break the seal, you might not rise too high, but stabilizing as an inner disciple is achievable."

"Oh, you really have high hopes for me!"

Peter was genuinely impressed by the young man’s sharp judgment, having chosen him out of so many people.

Seeing Peter’s unchanged expression, Adrian gritted his teeth and quietly said, "I know that entering the Great Void Sect will leave me without support, but I still want to gamble. I’ve always been preparing and have saved enough money to purchase the Rejuvenation Pill. I’ll pay for your recovery; in return, just look out for me afterwards. At least ensure that my family doesn’t kill me!"

How awesome!

Peter couldn’t help but admire the young man’s cunning, as he was genuinely fighting for his life.

"Even if I look out for you, I can’t do it forever. Besides, I don’t have time to be your nanny!"

Adrian said, "I don’t need you to do much, just allow me to use your name at crucial times. Rest assured, I won’t do anything that crosses the line."

Glancing at him, Peter felt a spark. Not knowing how to openly cultivate, with Adrian’s plan, he could tell everyone that he used a Rejuvenation Pill for his recovery. That way, when he could cultivate later, they wouldn’t be suspicious of how he managed it.

"Brother Wang, you don’t know this, but the family members won’t give up on killing me!"

"Even if I’m willing to help you, with my cultivation, I’m not sure how much I can do here."

Noticing Peter’s interest, Adrian quickly added, "You might not know about the sect’s internal affairs. Every inner disciple can have a secular manager to handle miscellaneous tasks. You could appoint me as your manager; as long as I stay within the inner sect, even if my family wants to eliminate me, they wouldn’t dare. I’ll try to stay at your residence as much as possible."

Though Peter knew that doing this would drag him into the family struggle, he genuinely didn’t mind.

He realized he needed someone like Adrian to help him manage some things in this unfamiliar place.

This kid is shrewd and bold in his investment; he’s a good choice!

Peter quickly made up his mind. freewebnσvel.cѳm

"Alright, I can only promise to protect you somewhat. Whether I can really keep you safe, I don’t know, and I’m sure you understand that."

Adrian was immediately overjoyed, "That’s enough, that’s enough!"
