Meanwhile, inside a luxurious courtyard within the Murray residence, a young, lean man dressed in fine clothing was having coffee with Caden.
“Mr. Diego, what brings you here?” Caden smiled as he poured Diego a cup of coffee.
“Thank you.” Diego nodded politely. “I’ve long heard about your greatness, Mr. Caden. I came here today with the main intention of getting to know you. ‘Diego had a strong foreign accent.
“Mr. Diego, there is no need for such pleasantries,” Caden remarked. “Please, feel free to speak your mind. Let’s have an honest conversation.”
“Mr. Caden, since you prefer to be straightforward, I won’t beat around the bush any longer. “I came here today in hopes of meeting General Murray. But unfortunately, he was too busy and had no time to see me.
“I was hoping you could put in a good word for me.” As he spoke, Diego gestured for his men to bring over a long wooden box.
The box was about four feet long, and when opened, it revealed an ornate curved longsword. Diego carefully lifted it with his fingers and presented it to Caden. He explained, “Mr. Caden, this is one of our country’s ten most famous swords. It is known as the Raikiri.
“This sword is incredibly sharp and can cut through iron easily. It is also said to contain the power of lightning.
“With just a single strike, it turns into an unstoppable force. It is a treasure desired by countless warriors in our country.
“Of course, such a prestigious sword can only be wielded by a hero like you, Mr. Caden. I hope you will accept it.”
Seeing the sword Diego presented to him, Caden’s eyes lit up as he got excited. He had long heard of the Raikiri. As one of the top swords of Kimboku, its value was unimaginable.
Since practicing the Soul Devouring Technique, his skills have improved tremendously, and he needed a suitable weapon. The Raikiri was undoubtedly a timely gift.
“Thank you, Mr. Diego, you are too kind. I can hardly believe I deserve such a precious gift.” He instinctively accepted the sword as he spoke. “As long as you like it.” Diego smiled faintly.
“Mr. Diego, I assume you have other businesses besides visiting my old man. “After looking fondly at the sword, Caden asked again.
If Diego were just here to meet his father, why would he offer such a precious item? “You’re truly perceptive, Mr. Caden. I do indeed have another request,” Diego said with a smile.
“I heard General Murray has a rare precious herb known as the Cherusia. I am interested in it. “I have another generous present prepared if you could help me obtain it. “So, you’ve come for a medicinal herb? No problem at all, I’ll take care of it!” Caden was confident.
Everyone in the family knew that Christopher wasn’t interested in worldly possessions. Whenever he obtained any treasures, he would distribute them to the younger generation as rewards. As long as Caden asked for it, he could easily get his hands on it.
“Your words assure me.” Diego breathed a sigh of relief. Caden turned to an elderly woman beside him and instructed, “Mrs. Patty, please inform the old man that I am in great need of the Cherusia.
“I hope he will consider my request.”
“Alright.” Mrs. Patty nodded before leaving. It wasn’t long before she was back. But her expression was grim. “Mrs. Patty, you got it already? Where is it?” Caden asked with a smile.
