From Outcast to Overlord The Unyielding Heir (Leander Ashcroft) novel Chapter 664

Chapter 664 The Person You’ve Been Wanting To Meet

“Are you asking about Jeff Ashcroft?”

Claire didn’t have to think twice, and the question slipped out immediately.

Compared to Harmony Hadley of the Lingster Sect or Leslie Ashcroft, who else could Violet possibly want to meet other than the Iron Sovereign, who took the world by storm at such a young age?

“Yes.” Violet nodded solemnly, her expression turning serious.

“My master once said that Jeff Ashcroft’s the reincarnation of an immortal. The senior monks of the Lingster Sect call him the Honored Venerable, a heavenly being descended to the mortal world. Jeff Ashcroft is the only person who deserves to be called that.

“He’s our age, yet in strength and reputation, he has far surpassed us. We are still struggling on the path toward becoming King Phases, while he’s already defeating such powerful figures across the world, even challenging the great powers of today.

“You’ve seen him twice. I really want to know–what kind of person is he? If possible, I would like to meet him in person and ask him to clear up my doubts.”

Under Violet’s steady gaze, Claire paused for a moment, then smiled in understanding. “I should have known. An Envine descendant like you wouldn’t appear because of some auction.”

She shook her head lightly, a trace of regret in her smile. “I wish I could tell you more about Jeff, but I can’t. Only those who have seen him would understand. He can’t be described with words, nor can he be judged by common sense.

“He is like the wind, formless and unseen. Think of drifting clouds–ever–changing, never fixed. You shouldn’t ask me for the answer. You should find it yourself.”

Violet had expected this and did not press further. Her gaze shifted to the Abyssal Godblade in Claire’s hand.

“It’s said that the Abyssal Godblade was one of the two personal swords belonging to Aurion, the Sun Emperor, back in ancient times. Only those recognized by the Abyssal Godblade are qualified to draw it. May I, Claire?”

Claire did not answer immediately, only smiling in response. “Of course. But in exchange, I have one condition.”

She pointed at the ancient sword in Violet’s hand.

“The Celestial Reliant Blade of Envine is unmatched in sharpness. It has been passed down for five hundred years and is one of the strongest divine weapons in the world today. Could I have a look at it too)*

The moment Claire said this, the two women looked at each other, then suddenly burst into Laughter.

They both loved swords and were masters of swordsmanship. Naturally, they were passionate about fine blades.

With a flick of their wrists, both the Abyssal Godblade and the Celestial Reliant Blade shot downward, slamming into the tiled floor and embedding themselves half a foot deep.

With one smooth motion, Claire drew the Celestial Reliant Blade from its sheath. A brilliant, crystal–like light flashed across the hall. Its cold, razor–sharp aura was overwhelming, causing several people nearby to gasp.

“It emits a dazzling cold light with overwhelming sharpness. Even the blade itself carries a fierce edge. As expected of the Celestial Reliant Blade”

Violet lifted her delicate hand and grasped the hilt of the Abyssal Godblade. She channeled her true energy into it and applied force, but the sword did not move at all, remaining hidden

within its sheath.

“Gosh, the Abyssal Godblade is divine.”

After just one attempt, she already sensed the hidden, restrained power within it. She withdrew her hand and stepped back, no longer forcing it.

Seeing this, Claire could only shake her head with a wry smile.

“Honestly, it’s a bit embarrassing. The only reason I could draw the Abyssal Godblade was because of someone’s help. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to move it at all.”

“Are you talking about Jeff Ashcroft?”

Violet nodded to herself. Her curiosity about this living legend grew even stronger.

While the two women were talking, the Abyssal Godblade–embedded half a foot into the floor–suddenly began to tremble. A clear sword cry rang out, as if it were about to leap from

its sheath.

Claire’s expression changed slightly.

She placed her hand on the hilt, but the Abyssal Godblade continued to vibrate. Its sharp

ringing echoed through the hall, almost slipping beyond her control

“What’s going on?”

She was puzzled.

Violet also frowned.

At that moment, two figures stepped into the hall.

One of them had white hair and a white beard, clearly over seventy years old. His temples bore the marks of time. But when Claire looked up, her gaze did not linger on the old man. Instead, it locked onto the young man in white standing beside him.

Violet followed her line of sight. Her eyes rested on the handsome young man for a long moment, yet she could not sense anything unusual about him. On the contrary, it was the old man who made her pupils shrink.

“A King Phase?”

The old man and the young man walked side by side through the hall. As they passed Claire, the young man turned his head slightly and nodded at her.

At that instant, the Abyssal Godblade in her hand stopped trembling. It became calm and obedient, like a loyal blade recognizing its true master.

The young man and the old man headed toward the auction hall and soon disappeared from sight.

Only then did Claire seem to wake from a dream. She firmly gripped the Abyssal Godblade again and gently stroked it.

Beside her, Violet had already sheathed the Celestial Reliant Blade. “Claire, do you know that young man?”

Claire withdrew her gaze and revealed a breathtaking smile. “Of course I do. He’s the person you’ve been wanting to meet.”

Violet’s pupils suddenly contracted, disbelief written all over her face. “What?”

She turned sharply toward the direction the young man had gone, her expression shaken.

“You’re telling me that’s Jeff Ashcroft?” Her eyes remained fixed on him.

She knew Claire would never speak carelessly. And precisely because of that, she found it even
