The guardian's sword by Taking Cigarette
Chapter 375

Chapter 375

Jason‘s words left Quill bewildered.

“Uncle Jason, what... What sword?” Quill touched his head–

he did not understand. “The one I saw when I visited your house the other day!

“The sword you used for gardening–when you were digging and planting flowers!”

Jason‘s tone was very serious and seemed mildly rushed.

He was acting as if this was no small matter. Quill rolled his eyes back into his head to think carefully a

nd finally recalled what sword Jason was talking about.

That day, he had used the longsword he had snatched from

Sean to dig some soil in the flowerbed outside.

Jason had just happened to be visiting and saw the sword. Quill clearly remembered that Jason‘s expre

ssion had grown very unusual upon seeing it. Later, Jason had used his cell phone to take a

photo of the longsword. This indicated that the sword might be of extraordinary origin. At the time, Quill

could not help but think, Could Sean

really be involved with some bigshot?‘ However, since then, Quill had long

thrown this matter to the winds. What did Jason intend to do by bringing it up again now? “I‘m asking yo

u a question. Are you mute?” Jason, at the other end of the line, suddenly banged the table. “Ah, Uncle

Jason, I‘m listening... I‘m listening...” Once Quill realized what was happening, he gulped and hurriedly

replied to his uncle. “I‘ll ask again–where did you get that sword from?!

“You‘d best tell me the truth!” Jason took a deep breath and asked again.

“Uncle Jason, I got the sword from a beggar! “I wouldn‘t dare lie to you...” Quill was stunned by his uncl

e‘s words and replied instinctively. “What kind of beggar? Where? When did you get it?” Jason‘s tone w

as hurried. He kept asking more questions. “Just a... ragged beggar...

“It was probably more than a year ago.

“It‘s been such a long time, Uncle Jason. I can‘t remember clearly...”

Quill frowned slightly before quickly coming up with a lie in his head. For each lie one told, one would n

eed to come up with a further 10 lies to support the first lie later

on. Quill was currently in this situation. He knew that given Jason‘s status, he would definitely be courti

ng death if he lied to fool his uncle.

Jason Yeast, as the spokesperson of the River City army, was like a god to the whole of River City! If Q

uill dared to deceive him, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was akin to deceiving the king. If

he did that, it would not just be Quill who would be punished–

the entire Zimmer family would also be doomed.

Therefore, Quill could only do his very best to convince his uncle that he had truly

gotten it from a beggar.

Even though it was wrong, he had no choice but to continue his web of lies. After hearing Quill‘s reply, J

ason fell silent at the other end of the call. Quill‘s heartbeat quickened, but he tried not to breathe too n

ervously. He waited silently. Quill‘s father, Jon Zimmer, was also worried.

He had never witnessed Jason so serious before.

Moreover, when the call had first connected through, he had wanted to immediately speak to Quill.

This made Jon‘s heart extremely anxious.

Jason was silent for a few moments before he finally let out a soft sigh. “Quill, I‘ve been friends with yo

ur father for many years.

“So, there are some things that I don‘t want you to get dragged into. “Now, I‘ll ask you one last time. Wh

ere did you get that sword from? “I hope you can tell me the truth–

otherwise, there will be consequences… Consequences the Zimmer family won‘t be able to afford.”

Jason‘s tone was extremely calm, but the seriousness it held left Quill‘s heart very torn.

“Uncle Jason, I... I really would not dare to lie to you...

“Uhm... Is there something wrong with this sword?”

Quill pondered for a few moments but still did not dare to admit that he had deceived Jason before.

“Don‘t ask questions you don‘t need to know the answers to.

“Pass the phone back to your father.”

Upon hearing Quill‘s reply, Jason stopped asking further questions.

Given who he was, it would

be pointless to say any more beyond the impact his words had already left.

Quill nodded and quickly handed the phone over to Jon.

“Hello, Mr. Yeast. Did my son say something wrong? “Tell me –

I‘ll hang him and beat him!” Jon immediately asked Jason upon receiving the phone. “You should really

chance to hang him and beat him at that point.” Jason got straight to the point and hung up the phone o

Jon was left holding his cell phone as he stood still, utterly perplexed.

“What did Jason mean?

‘I won‘t even have the chance to hang him and beat him?

“Could Quill have committed some capital crime?‘ Jon thought to himself. “B*stard! What have you done
