The Imperial Preceptor could only offer a sheepish nod to Euston, saying, “Mr. Franko is right. | cannot deny it.”
Without any desire to ingratiate or show weakness, imperial preceptor turned to Gilmore and said, “Mr. Reed, |
apologize for my earlier offense.
“If Mr. Reed could reduce the punishment of this bet.
“Crawling out of the palace will be tough for me.
“If Mr. Reed would be willing to sparethis punishment, I’an prepared to meet any other demand you might
have, as long as it is within my power.
However, Gilmore coolly responded. ‘Imperial Preceptor, I'm sorry but | have no other requests. Let's stick to the
terms of our original bet.”
The Imperial Preceptor was at a loss for words,
He had thought he could entice Gilmore with an alternative, swaying his decision.
But it seemed that Gilmore was intent on holding him to their agreement.
This caught the Imperial Preceptor off guard.
He hadn't expected Gilmore to be impervious to any other terins
You're not going to weasel out of this, are you, the imperial preceptor?” Gilmore asked with a devilish smirk.
With clenched teeth, the Imperial Preceptor replied, “Alright, Gilmore. Today, | will craw! out of the palace.
“But don’t get too smug. Just because you've won today doesn’t mean you'll win forever!
Gilmore seemed indifferent. “Imperial Preceptor, then I'll wait for the day you defeat me.”
A fierce light flickered in the Imperial Preceptor’s eyes.
One day, he would personally get rid of Gilmore.
Let's wait and see
Then, with everyone watching, the Imperial Preceptor slowly knelt down.
The Imperial Preceptor began to crawl out with his hands and feet.
“Mr.Atkins, have the soldiers outside follow the Imperial Preceptor to make sure he crawls out of the palace
gates.” Yes, Mr. Franko Anson responded. Then he called two cultivators from outside the hall and asked them to
monitor the Imperial Preceptor to fulfill his promise.
With great embarrassment, the Imperial Preceptor crawled out of the grand hall, his dignity in tatters.
It didn’t take long for the news to spread that the Imperial Preceptor had lost the bet and had to crawl out of the
palace.

Swhispered that the Imperial Preceptor had fallen from grace.
Others admired imperial preceptor’s willingness to honor the bet and keep his word.
Opinions were divided, to say the least.
In Mr. Franko’s resting palace.
Gilmore, Huston, and Amy witnessed the imperial preceptor’s departure.
Unable to contain his curiosity, Huston turned to Gilmore and said, “Mr. Reed, since you were able to ridof

“Surely you can also uncover who cast this curse upon me?”
Gilmore replied. “To be frank, Mr. Franko, you probably have an inkling of who the culprit is. It's none other than

“The insect was placed by him. If I'm not mistaken, he introduced it into Mr. Franko’s body through an elixir.”
Hearing this, Huston, Amy, and the others were shocked.
Huston had suspected the imperial preceptor might have been behind this nefarious act.
But lacking concrete evidence, Huston dared not convict imperial preceptor out of speculation alone.
Of course, without Gilmore's intervention, he might never have realized he was afflicted by such a curse.
“Father, Imperial Preceptor used venomous insects to harm you
“Why don’t we let the imperial troops in the palace take him down immediately?”
However, Huston raised a hand to pause her zeal, saying, “Amy, the tisn’t right.

hasty move against him could stir up turmoil in the Fensville and even rattle the Golden Tower Empire.

action.

Anyway, he believed that even if he didn’t kill the Imperial Preceptor, the Imperial Preceptor would make trouble
for him. It wouldn't be too late for him to take action then.
Huston then turned to Amy and said, “From this day forth, you'll begin to systematically dismantle the imperial
preceptor’s network within our court
“Yes, Father, Princess Amy responded, ready to act
An hour later, the imperial preceptor finally emerged from the galare gates on all fours.
At that moment, he was a pitiful sight. Sweat drenched his robe, his hair was in disarray, and his knees were
bare from the

holes in his clothing.
The sweat on his back had soaked his clothes.
It was not an exaggeration to say that the imperial preceptor was in a mess.
Then the Imperial Preceptor stood up from the ground.
“Please get on the carriage. Mr. Gardner. At this time, the coachman led the horse in front of the carriage to the
Imperial Preceptor.
In addition to the coachman leading the carriage out, there were several cultivators.
Due to the terms of the wager, the coachman and the guards, who were also cultivators, had no choice but to
follow the impenal preceptor at a distance.
It was not until the Imperial Preceptor climbed out of the palace and fulfilled the bet that the coachman brought
the carriage over.
After the Imperial Preceptor got on the carriage, he asked the coachman to drive back to the Imperial Preceptor’s
Mansion.

Twenty minutes after boarding the carriage, the imperial preceptor was back at his residence.
In the attic, the Imperial Preceptor had just sat down for a while.
Jaxon eagerly asked. “Father, did Mr. Franko agree to your suggestion to eliminate Gilmore?”
However, Imperial Preceptor’s words were like a bucket of cold water on his face. “My son, | didn’t expect
Gilmore to be so difficult to deal with.”

Then, the Imperial Preceptor told him how Gilmore had made a bet with him, how he treated Mr. Franko, and how
Gilmore discovered that there was a venomous insect in Mr. Franko’s body and how he eliminated it.
Of course, the imperial preceptor also said that he lost the bet with Gilmore and crawled out of the palace.
After hearing the entire ordeal, Jaxon was utterly dumbstruck.
What shocked him the most was Gilmore's ability to detect the insect within Mr. Franko.
Furthermore, removing the insects was simply inconceivable.
However, he was unwilling to let Gilmore go just like that.
“Father, are we really unable to do anything to Gilmore?” Jaxon looked at his father and asked.
As he spoke, he clenched his fists tightly.
The Imperial Preceptor’s brow furrowed as a chilling light danced in his eyes,
Indeed, could it be possible that he was outmatched by Gilmore
After a long moment of thought, the imperial preceptor spoke with clenched teeth and resolute conviction, “My
son, paurace. | will find Gilmore's Achilles heel and then we will take him down in one fell swoop
Inside the Imperial Palace.
Amy looked at her father and said, “Father, Gilmore saved your e. How do you plan to reward him?”
Huston gazed at Gilmore and said. “Mr. Reed, as the Celestial, you surely wouldn't care for gold, jewels, or
treasures.

“Amy has been incredibly hospitable, even offering her residence for us to stay in.
“Her generosity is more than enough reason forto help alleviate Mr. Franko’s worries.”
Hearing this. Huston and Amy were very happy.
“Good. Since the Celestial has said so, we shall not mention the reward.” Huston said with smile.

He then looked to his daughter. Amy. “In the coming days, why don’t you keep Mr. Reed and his friends company.
Show them the sights within and around Fensville.”
“Of course. Father, Amy replied.
After that, Gilmore and his party bid farewell to Huston and left the palace to return to the princess’s residence.
