The Witch Hunter System-Chapter 603 Arranging Trouble

603 Arranging Trouble

The two female assistants were shocked by Lord Chaska's violent outburst. It was the first time they had seen him so furious, let alone violent. They immediately felt the benevolent reputation he had built would be ruined if they let him be.

"My Lord, I don't know how that name offended you so, but you must not let anger consume you!"

"That's right, my Lord! Don't ruin your good image for a single nobody! At the very least, assign other warriors to teach that person a lesson for you! There's no need to dirty your own hands, my Lord!"

The two female assistants held Chaska's arms and pleaded with concern while fighting back their trembling fear.

They were afraid Chaska would vent his anger on them for stopping him. Even so, they couldn't watch their lord do something he might regret later. Given his great strength, he might end up beating the person to death!

Chaska was startled by his lovely assistants' strong insistence before he forcefully suppressed his agitated emotions, calming down.

"You're both right. I wasn't clear-headed just now. Sorry for scaring you two," Chaska apologized to his two assistants before reflecting on the matter.

It was something that required evaluation in greater depth.

'The Blessed Golden Dragon Tribe only has five ancient families that have survived to the present era…'

'Unless the family head of a previous generation in the other ancient families broke the tradition and educated all of their descendants on the forgotten history like our Armstrong family, there shouldn't be many people who know about the Blessed Golden Dragon Tribe's five ancient families…'

'This Vanderlin Pendragon might not be a descendant of the five ancient families and, therefore, might not know what Pendragon means to the five ancient families… In that case, he would just be an ignorant fool.'

'But if he is not using a fake name, that would also mean a Pendragon family exists. That is unacceptable,' Chaska frowned in thought.

Only the supreme chief of the Blessed Golden Dragon Tribe, who would lead the five ancient families, deserved the name 'Pendragon.' As such, no other Pendragon family was allowed to exist if they had meager power. It would diminish the prestige of the true Pendragon.

'However… this Vanderlin is said to look somewhere in his early 20s yet already possess such a solid cultivation. A normal household wouldn't be able to produce such a talent. Therefore, this person's background shouldn't be ordinary. And what could be a greater background than the five ancient families?'

'In that case, there's a higher chance he is someone from one of the other four ancient families. Did they send him over to provoke or challenge our Armstrong family? Am I overthinking and complicating a simple matter? But… if it's true, do they think he has the qualifications to lead the five ancient families? With his talent and strength? Shouldn't be…'

'Don't tell me this lad awakened the ancient bloodline?!' Chaska suddenly wondered with strong agitation, unable to remain calm.

But after a moment, he quickly realized how ridiculous his thought was.

It had been such a long time since someone from the five ancient families could awaken the legendary Golden Dragon Bloodline. In fact, it had been so long that it was regarded as a myth in the present era.

Furthermore, if someone had awakened the Golden Dragon Bloodline in one of the five ancient families, no one in their right mind would send them to the territory of another ancient family alone, especially when there had not been any contact between the five ancient families in many years. 𝙛𝙧𝓮𝓮𝙬𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝓮𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝙢

Time had made their five ancient families distant.

Who knew if any of the five ancient families were still willing to honor their agreement before the tribe's dissolution?

After all, the current head of the Armstrong family, Varan Armstrong, was the emperor of the Great Ratholos Empire. He ruled over vast lands and stood above millions of lives.

How could he and the Armstrong family behind him easily bow their heads to someone else?

Nevertheless, after Chaska thought that far, he was confident Vanderlin wasn't someone who had awakened the Golden Dragon Bloodline. Even so, he still couldn't tell if the person was at least a member sent by one of the other ancient families.

'I have to ascertain his identity, but I don't have the resources nor the spare manpower to do so discreetly,' Chaska frowned.

After pondering for a moment, he immediately sat back down and wrote two new letters. Once he finished, he folded them in half and sealed them in envelopes before handing them to his assistants.

"Send this to the manager at Madam Morning Dew, Fatina. As for this one, hand it to Sir Deiahmar, Aliyah," Chaska instructed his two assistants.

"Yes, my Lord."

Fatina obeyed the lord's instruction without hesitation. On the other hand, Aliyah glanced at the name addressed on the letter handed to her before she became startled.

Although she didn't get to read the content of the letter, she knew it was definitely related to the person called 'Vanderlin Pendragon.' The name made the lord so furious and violent. It would be strange if it weren't related to that person.

"Do you really have to trouble the duke for this matter, my Lord?" Aliyah asked with surprise.

The letter was precisely addressed to Duke Zaahid, Chaska's fourth uncle and one of the emperor's younger brothers.

Although Aliyah couldn't understand her lord would make a big deal out of nothing, she could faintly guess her lord's intention.

After all, Duke Zaahid ruled a vast stretch of land northeast of Sunrock Bazaar. If the person of interest had any intention of visiting the Martial Hall and Heavenly Steps, they would definitely travel through Duke Zaahid's territory.

Nevertheless, facing Aliyah's question, Chaska calmly linked his hands behind his back and glanced into the distant land.

"There's a high chance Vanderlin is using a fake family name to draw attention," Chaska stated.

"Although I don't know his background, I can feel his ambition to become a prominent figure in our empire after overcoming various challenges. In other words, since he is looking for trouble, it wouldn't be right if I didn't ask Royal Fourth Uncle to send trouble his way and test."

"Perhaps we can learn his origins after forcing him to use some unique martial arts," Chaska added as his gaze sharpened.

"I… I understand, my Lord," Aliyah lowered her head in compliance and did not question her lord any further.

Meanwhile, Vaan and Jihaad continued to explore and study the various benefits their Gravity Chambers had to offer, unaware of the events that transpired at the local lord's residence.
