NovelBookChapter 300
The immense responsibilities he held meant he needed to set his feuds aside. He had only recently begun figuring out who the culprit was.
The Klein family was extremely powerful.
They had two wardens in their family.
Which made him even more cautious.
He did not fear death but feared that no one would avenge the Young family if he died.
Moreover, the countries that bordered the Northern Territory would stir up trouble if he died.
“So, you established the Heavenly Doors Association so you could fight back against the Klein family?”
The Heavenly Doors Association was a martial arts organization in the Northern Territory. Stellar had never engaged with its members because it was a private organization the warden had established.
All he knew was that its members spent their days practicing and training on a secret island in the Northern Territory and that the warden only visited them once every several years.
In fact, its members had not even shown up when the Northern Territory was under attack.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPhilix took a swig of vodka and grimaced as it burned its way down his throat. “My family bought Paradise Island back when the Vikings were still ruling. Today, it remains one of the few islands in the country that are privately owned. The island is a treasure trove of cultivation-related knowledge, but the members still need more time to learn and practice since the Heavenly Doors Association is a relatively new organization!”
“Aren’t you afraid they’d betray you after gaining power?” Stellar asked.
“A member of the Young family was an immortal cultivator, and he created something called a ‘soul contract’. It’s very straightforward, all you need are two pieces of parchment paper – one for the principal, and one for the subsidiaries. Once they drink the water infused with the ashes of the subsidiaries’ parchment paper while I drink the water infused with the other one… I get to control if they live or die!”
Philix only shared how he kept them under control, but he did not delve into the specifics.
The fact he was willing to share all this with Stellar showed he trusted him as much as he would a brother.
However, some things he kept secret just to be on the safe side.
Stellar did not think too much of it and merely smiled sadly. “I had never imagined the Klein family to be as powerful as they are now!”
“Woof woof woof… Woof woof woof…”
Then, the sounds of a dog’s barks could be heard.
Philix and Stellar exchanged glances before they scrambled to their feet and hurried to the gates of the Young Gardens.
The two security guards lay in a pool of blood, their eyes open and faces filled with looks of horror.
The large black dog was also fighting for its life. Its limbs twitched for a while before it also died.
“Danger… let’s go…’
})
Stellar looked around warily before he escorted Philix away from the scene.
Beep beep!
Beep beep!
The man’s phone rang.
Philix shoved Stellar aside and went to grab the old man’s phone. When he saw the incoming caller ID was saved as “Granddaughter”, he immediately answered the phone and said in a low voice, “Hello… are you the granddaughter of this phone’s owner?”
On the way to the Young Gardens.
Melody slammed on the brakes.
She hung up the phone and said in a voice overcast with grief, “Something’s happened to my grandfather!”
Nash curled his hands into fists. “Come to Jonford with me… Let’s seek revenge against Ol’ Devil when we become more capable of doing so!”
Melody’s face had gone pale. She was about to turn down Nash’s suggestion and embark on the journey to seek revenge when she recalled her grandmother’s last words.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe gritted her teeth and dialed another number.
Soon, a wizened voice could be heard on the other end of the line.
“Melody… has the Ol’ Devil come looking for you guys?”
“Grandma has passed away. Her body has been sent to Eternal Prosperity Funeral Parlor. I think my grandfather is in trouble as well, so please help me check on him at the Young Gardens!” Melody said chokingly.
“Come to my place. The Ol’ Devil wouldn’t dare do anything to you if you’re with us!”
“The Ol’ Devil has already completed more than half his journey to achieving the Mystique Loyalty
3/3
Realm, I’ll just bring you guys more trouble if I stay with you. I’ll leave Goldenfalls for the time being!”
Melody hurriedly hung up the phone when she finished speaking. She did not mention anything about Nash’s presence.
After wiping the tears off her face, she looked up the directions to Royal Bay on her phone and sped toward its direction.
Meanwhile…
Philix and Stellar sat in a taxi.
Stellar retrieved his phone and dialed Goldenfalls’ warden’s number.
Philix grabbed Stellar’s phone and shook his head. “Do not let anyone know we’ve been there!”
Stellar whispered, “Does that mean there’s no one left to guard the mausoleum? What will happen to the two old men’s corpses?”
