The Prince Who Was Raised in Hell
Chapter 51

“No! That's not it!” Chris did not expect that Maisie would have such a big reaction, and he wasstartled.

He hurriedly blocked her path and explained, “He didn't come, but someone else did.”

William noticed something fishy and asked, “Eh? What's going on? Are you saying someone else ishere to sell the same weight inscription?”

Maisie stopped in her tracks, and her expression turned solemn.

Chris quickly answered, “That's not the case.

A Lawrence family member brought this weight inscription over, and he wanted me to verify itsauthenticity.

I noticed that the pattern was the same as the teenager's, so I rushed over to let you two take a lookat it.”

"I see...” Maisie felt slightly better.

She had the same reaction as William just now, thinking that someone else was selling the weightinscription.

If that was the case, it meant the youngster was a cheat.

When Chris mentioned that someone else was here, Maisie felt an ineffable pang of disappointmentin her heart.

Nonetheless, after realizing the matter was not as she thought, Maisie's mood lightened up.

“Oh, alright.

The Lawrence family, George and James’ family, right?” William took over the inscription that Chrispassed to him.

Then, he glanced at it and nodded.

After he passed the inscription to Maisie, William turned to Chris and asked, “Did the guy informyou on the origin of this inscription?”

“This... 1 didn't get the chance to ask him yet,” Chris admitted as his face reddened.

Maisie was still eyeing the inscription.

With her judgment skill and credibility, Maisie could naturally tell that the same person drew thisinscription as the few inscriptions sold by the young man before.

At the thought of this, Maisie unconsciously tightened her grip on the inscription.

William peeked at Maisie, and he ordered Chris, “Well, invited the person to the back hall.

I have something to ask him.”

"Master... Master William, you want to meet him?” Chris was surprised.

After all, Chris knew that although William was not backed up by any family in Evergreen Town, norwas he a member of the Earlington of Efrax’s government or part of the royal family, his status wasmuch higher than many heads of the families in this town as he was a Pulse Control Realm cultivatorand an inscription master.

It was difficult for those heads of the families to even meet him.

Unexpectedly, William took the initiative to meet a Lawrence family’s normal member.

“What are you doing standing there?” Seeing that Chris was dawdling, William could not resist buturge him again.

Finally, Chris returned to his senses and hurriedly ran out.

As he was running, he secretly lamented how lucky the Lawrence family member was.

He got the chance to meet William! Chris could not help but wonder if the Lawrence family savedthe universe in their past life.

William waited until Chris before saying to Maisie, “Lady Maisie, it's inconvenient for you to meet astranger.

How about when I'm questioning the Lawrence family member, you can stand behind the screenand listen to our conversation? Then, if you have any doubt, I can ask on your behalf.”

"Sure.

Thank you, Uncle William.” Maisie nodded.

The person James sent over was Thomas Lawrence.

The man in his late thirty was considered an elder in the Lawrence family, and he was ratherinfluential in the family.

As Thomas usually followed James running errands, he had the chance to meet with people from allwalks of life.

However, now that he was about to meet William, who was almost the same age as him, Thomaswas so nervous that his face was pale, and his calves were trembling.

Even though William asked him to sit while they chatted, Thomas did not dare to do so

Before he came, James exhorted Thomas multiple times to keep secret from the shopkeeper thatAnita drew these inscriptions.

But, no one expected that Anita's inscription would attract William.

Under William's questioning, Thomas did not dare to hide anything from William, and he truthfullydescribed what happened at the Lawrence family’s council chamber.

While listening to Thomas, William's gaze kept flickering.

There were a few times where he wanted to interrupt Thomas, especially when he heard Anita hadengraved the weight inscription on a third-grade weapon.

William almost wanted to voice out, but noticing that Maisie did not hint at him, William could onlyremain quiet.

After Thomas finished explaining, he noticed that he was drenched in sweat.

"Alright.

Please wait for a moment while I verify it in the chamber.

I'll give you an answer soon.” William had many things to discuss with Maisie, so he let Thomas waitfor him first.

“Master William wants to verify it personally! Oh my goodness!’ Thomas felt his vision darkened as ifhe was about to faint.

He did not even reply to William.

When William entered the room and saw Maisie, he immediately said, “Lady Maisie, did you knowearlier that inscriptions can be used on low-rank weapons? How's that possible?!”

Maisie’s expression was complicated too.

After she pondered for a while, she replied, “Uncle William, I understand your concern.

The consensus of inscription skill is that we can only engrave on weapons of middle rank and above.However, in truth, certain techniques can allow us to engrave on low-rank weapons.

Master Dakota told me about it before too.”

"What! Master Dakota, she...” William was shocked, but just as he said those few words, he realizedthat she did not want others to mention her.

Hence, William stopped mid-sentence.

Then, after thinking for a moment, he continued, “Lady Maisie, I've actually... Never... Never heard ofthat before...”

“I've only heard her mentioning it once.

Thus, when I saw the weight inscriptions, I had a familiar feeling,” Maisie explained, “Based on whatthe person said, the teenager named Chyntia seemed to have successfully done it.

Uncle William, if you're still feeling dubious, let's give it a try.

I'd love to see it too.”

Maisie kept the three weight inscriptions that Chris purchased from Bolot.

Then, they found a third-grade long knife, and Maisie personally attended to it.

Soon, under their surprised gaze, the inscription was engraved on the weapon

After giving it a try, not only was the inscription in effect, but Anita's weight inscription was muchmore powerful than William's.

William instantly quietened, and there was also a complicated look in Maisie’s eyes.

After a long time, William sighed deeply.

“I can't believe that there's such a genius in this world.

It seems that I was wrong before.

If that's the case, I honestly want to meet this person.”

Maisie nodded.

“That's right.

He's so young, yet he's so gifted.

If Master Dakota knows about this, I'm afraid she'll immediately take him in as her disciple andguide him with all her heart.

However... However, this man’s so talented, so why is he entering the Lawrence family instead of theother way around?”

William also frowned when he heard that.

No matter what country, a son-in-law that entered his wife's family had the most negligible status,and he would usually be useless.

Many of those son-in-laws’ hierarchy was only slightly higher than a servant's.

Some of them were even worse than favored servants.

Nonetheless, as long as a man had self-respect and capabilities, they would not choose to entertheir wife's family.
