Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 3059

After regaining his composure, Severin swiftly grabbed the two true immortals who had spoken earlier and asked in surprise, "Gentlemen, this Hartberg Mutwalden that you speak of… Has he ever been given the nickname 'Old Wacko'?"

The true immortal was initially displeased when Severin grabbed him out of nowhere, but he quickly calmed himself down upon sensing the faint aura of a royal celestial emanating from Severin. He replied calmly, "Yes. He does go by that sometimes."

Observing Severin's entourage, the other true immortal—who was a much shorter guy—noted that Carson and the others exuded a formidable strength. After glancing cautiously all around, he lowered his voice and cautioned, "Tread carefully, my friend. Word on the street is that he's got a very odd character, and his strength rivals that of only quasi-royal celestials. Last I heard, he abducted Gyddur's daughter and even toyed around with the extraterrestrial royal celestial Verdanto. You need to be careful when associating with him."

Severin connected the dots when he learnt that the old wacko was ranked on the True Dragon Board, possessed combat prowess akin to a quasi-royal celestial, and had a history of kidnapping an extraterrestrial royal celestial's daughter. He was about eighty percent sure that the Hartberg they spoke of was the old wacko whom he called master.

However, Severin was nonetheless somewhat puzzled over why the old wacko would choose to use an alias when Severin realized that Hartberg was a portmanteau of the name that the old wacko used to go by. It did not take long for Severin to understand just how naive such thinking was—given the old wacko's audacious deeds, it was only logical for him to adopt a pseudonym.

He then retrieved two top-quality spiritual crystals from his robes and tossed them to the two practitioners. "Thank you for the heads-up."

Severin then swiftly left with Diane and the others. His plan was to visit the royal celestials' palace at the city center, present the sigil over, and then seek out the old wacko. Soon, they made their way down several streets and passed by some weary-faced pedestrians until they reached the city's heart—the royal celestial's palace.

Externally, the palace appeared modest, yet spiritual light intermittently illuminated its doors as quasi-royal celestials ushered True Immortal practitioners inside. Severin led the way and escorted his group in.

Upon entry, he felt the world around him shift, transporting him to a paradise where birds sang and flowers bloomed.
