The Prince Who Was Raised in Hell

Chapter 42

It was obvious that William did not believe Chris.

He suspected that Chris was lying to take bribes.

After all, William would usually not care about the Oceans Chamber of Commerce’s dealings as Alex Feldman would be handling them.

However, today’s situation was different.

Maisie was beside William!

Chris might not be aware, but William knew well that Maisie’s status was higher than Alex and his!

If Chris took a bribe and Maisie knew about it, the problem would be colossal.

The consequences would be unbearable for both Alex and William!

Chris also immediately noticed something was wrong with William’s tone, and he quickly lowered his head, explaining, “That’s not it.

I…”

He needed to make it clear.

After all, he did nothing wrong.

“Let me take a look at them!” Nonetheless, William did not give Chris a chance to explain himself.

Then, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the air.

In an instant, the three papers on the table fluttered.

It was as if they were pulled along by some sort of force and flew toward William.

William swept his glance across the three inscriptions and did not find any issue.

But, he still did not believe Chris due to prejudice.

Thus, he took one of the inscriptions and took a closer look.

After a while, William frowned.

Chris quietly watched William’s expression.

Initially, he was pretty confident.

After all, Chris was responsible for the inscription booth for almost 20 years.

Although he was not an inscription apprentice, he could still identify the authenticity of an inscription.

However, when he saw William frowning, Chris’s heart was at his throat.

Then, Chris watched as William took another piece of paper and kept looking back and forth at his face and the paper.

This time, Chris felt as if his heart was going to jump out of his chest.

“Master William… Could it be…” Chris said raspily.

He lost his confidence as he felt his blood froze and his limbs cold.

Before Chris could finish his sentence, William raised his hand to stop Chris.

Then, William looked at Maisie, and his tone became respectful again.

“Lady Maisie, please take a look at these three weight inscriptions.”

“Uncle William, what’s wrong?” Maisie smiled faintly.

Her voice was just as beautiful as her appearance.

It sounded refreshing and put anyone in a good mood.

“I can’t explain, so I need you to check on them,” William replied with an awkward smile.

William’s strange behavior made Chris suspicious.

It seemed that there was a problem with the inscriptions, but they were not fake inscriptions either.

This instantly piqued Chris’s curiosity.

What did he miss?

Soon, Maisie took over the three inscriptions.

After looking through them, she let out a surprise sound.

There was also a look of shock in her eyes.

As if William expected this reaction, his awkward smile became more prominent.

Maisie pondered for a moment and reached out to tap on one of the papers with her finger.

In an instant, a faint white light appeared on the surface of Maisie’s finger.

‘Pulse Control Realm!’ Seeing the scene, Chris was dumbfounded, and his heart skipped a few beats.

When Chris saw Alex and William’s attitudes before, he knew that Maisie was respected.

However, Chris did not expect that Maisie was a Pulse Control Realm cultivator.

Moreover, she was an inscription master too!

A sixteen year old cultivator and inscription master! She was an absolute genius!

Chris was in a daze.

However, he calmed down from his previous worry.

Even if the inscriptions that made the two inscription masters turned solemn had problems, it was not something that Chris could notice.

If someone must be held accountable, it should not be him.

Then, Maisie traced her finger along with the weight inscription’s pattern.

There was still a faint smile on her face, but the solemnness in her eyes was gone.

Soon, Maisie turned to William and asked, “Uncle William, how much weight can a weapon gain if it’s engraved with your weight inscription?” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

“About six to eight times heavier.” William thought about it and gave a rough estimation.

“Uncle William is the only inscription master in Evergreen Town’s Oceans Chamber of Commerce.

If you draw the same weight inscription, the weapon‘s weight can be increased six to eight times.

However, these three inscriptions can increase a weapon’s weight by more than tenfold,” Maisie explained, “Uncle William, you’re not as good as he is.”

When he heard that, Chris almost fainted.

He finally understood why the two inscription masters appeared so grave just now.

It turned out the three inscriptions were not horrible.

Instead, they were so impressive that they were better than William’s!

William was stunned, and he asked Maisie, “Lady Maisie, are you saying the inscription master who drew these inscriptions is in a higher ranking than I am?”

Hearing these words, Chris felt a thud in his head, his blood rushed to his brain all over his body, his knees were weak, and he could hardly stand.

“This is also what puzzles me the most.” Maisie shook her head without noticing Chris’s peculiar behavior.

Then, she continued, “Although looking at the enhancement and brushwork, this inscription is indeed from a master… Yet, it still feels like…”

After pondering for a moment, Maisie considered her choice of words and added, “It still feels somewhat immature.

It’s like a child that could not reach the stove, yet he could prepare delicious dishes that only a top chef could make.”

Chris’s head was still buzzing, and when he heard Maisie’s words, Nirina’s confident expression appeared in his mind.

“I drew these inscriptions.”

“Is it him?” Chris felt muddled.

Could it be that the teenager was telling the truth, and he was indeed an inscription genius? Moreover, these three pieces of weight inscriptions were drawn by him after a night of practice?

William’s frowns were deep at this moment.

It was obvious that he could not make sense of the situation now.

“Moreover…” Maisie stared at the inscription with a complicated expression in her eyes.

William did not pay attention to Maisie, but he seemed to suddenly recall something, and he looked at Chris, “You said a young man sold these inscriptions just now? How old is he? How does he look! When did he leave?”

William’s tone was so stern that it frightened Chris.

Nonetheless, he swiftly recovered and quickly described Nirina’s appearance in detail.

Later, William sent out people to investigate, and he turned to Maisie and said, “I’m afraid we’ll need your help again, Lady Maisie.”

After saying that, William ordered Chris to prepare paper, ink, and brush.

“Sure,” Maisie smiled and nodded, “I’m also quite curious who the man is.

However, what do you think about it, Uncle William?”

“I don’t think it’s him,” William shook his head, “I bet that there’s an inscription master behind him.

No matter where the master came from, I must know his identity since he’s already in Evergreen town.”

Then, William saw Maisie smiling, and he asked curiously, “Lady Maisie, you have a different opinion?”
