Chapter 281
The next day, Liam sent letters to various martial arts sects in Cakhaven, spreading the news of Gilmore possessing Treature Map and gifting a rare piece of Renaissance art from the King’s Treasure to Ken, following the plan laid out by Kenji.
Receiving the joint letter from Liam and David, all the martial arts sects were stirred, as there had been no news about Treasure Map for decades.
The sudden reappearance of information regarding Treasure Map could not be ignored by Oakhaven martial arts sects.
The following night, several luxury cars arrived at the Anderson manor one after another.
From these cars emerged powerful–looking old and middle–aged men, whose demeanor revealed them as masters of martial arts.
There were roughly ten to fifteen people in total.
Indeed, they were the heads and Presbyters of six sects from Oakhaven.
These were crucial figures from each sect, coming in person due to the importance of the news regarding Treasure Map
Liam and David had been waiting and greeted them warmly at the entrance of the villa.
Upon the arrival of the various sect heads and Presbyters, Liam and David greeted them with respectful smiles, saying. “Gentlemen, you must be tired from your journey. Please come in!”
As they spoke, they extended their hands invitingly, ushering the heads and Presbyters into the villa.
All the Presbyters and heads carried an air of haughtiness, hands clasped behind their backs as they nonchalantly grunted in acknowledgment, making their way into the villa with a demeanor of seasoned grace.
Although Liam and David were somewhat displeased with the arrogance displayed by these heads and Presbyters, they had to maintain a courteous smile due to Kenji’s plan, which necessitated the involvement of these sect heads against Gilmore and the Field family.
The group entered the villa and seated themselves on the sofas.
In the living room, Hiroshi could be seen, dressed as a servant of the Anderson manor, standing in attendance.
Liam promptly instructed Hiroshi who stood in the hall. “Butler, please serve coffee to the heads and Presbyters.”
Indeed, Hiroshi’s current role was that of the “butler of the Anderson manor, as per kenji’s design.
The disguise was obviously to keep a close eye on Liam and David, ensuring they adhered to Kenji’s scheme.
Hiroshi immediately shouted, “Serve coffee!”
One by one, the maids emerged from the side hall of the villa, each carrying a cup of coffee.
They placed the coffee on the tables in front of the heads and Presbyters, then excused themselves.

Liam warmly greeted the heads and Presbyters, “Gentlemen, please enjoy your coffee
They nodded, lifting their coffee cups to sip,
Of course, as they sipped, their minds raced with thoughts, Hadn’t Liam and David sent letters exclusively to us
Why had all six sects of Oakhaven, except for Star Gate and Blade Gate, come?
Indeed, before the arrival of these sect heads and Presbyters, they had assumed that Liam and David had only sent letters to their respective sects, sharing the news of Gilmore having Treaidre Map solely with them
But now, they saw that all six sects of Oakhaven, apart from Star Gate and Blade Gate, were present at the Anderson residence
Needless to say, all six sects had received letters from Liam
They were all informed of this news by Liam, which left them somewhat discontented.
At that moment, an elderly man with white hair and a wrinkled face cleared his throat softly. His small eyes gleamed with
shrewdness
The attention of Liam and the others was inevitably drawn towards the elder
They knew he must have something to say.
Sure enough, after clearing his throat, the elder said in a tone filled with mockery towards Liam, “Mr. Anderson, it appears. you’ve called not just the people from my Crane Sect, but from many other sects as well. It’s become quite lively now”
Upon finishing, the elder chuckled.
This elder was the head of the Crane Sect from Oakhaven, Alexander Weston
The other sect heads and Presbyters also expressed their discontent, chiming in, “Inviting all six sects, what is the meaning of this?
“There’s only one Treasure Map, yet six sects were called?”
“Mr. Anderson, are you hoping to incite discord among us, leading to internal strife?”
Undoubtedly, they were resentful towards Liam and David for having called all six sects.
They all wished Liam and David had shared the news of Treasure Map solely with them.
Seeing the anger in the eyes of these heads and Presbyters, Liam couldn’t help but feel fearful.
Although the strength of these six sects wasn’t the mightiest in Oakhaven, if they were to be angered, the Anderson family would also suffer.
Therefore, Liam quickly explained to the heads and Presbyters, “Gentlemen, you’ve misunderstood me.
“There’s a reason why I’ve called all of you here”
The Crane Sect head frowned, coldly inquiring. “What reason?”
Liam explained, “The fact is, Gilmore not only possesses Treasure Map, but also has the backing of Star Gate and Blade Gate.
“If I were to share this news with just any one of you, I fear that with Star Gate and Blade Gate’s support, you wouldn’t be able to obtain Treasure Map

“Hence, I notified all six major sects.
“I do not wish for Star Gate and Blade Gate to acquire the treasure. I hope that all six major sects can share it equally.
Therefore, I informed all six of you.”

Hearing this, the dissatisfaction on the faces of the Crane Sect head and the other heads and Presbyters eased somewhat.
It appeared that Liam had good intentions, considering the interests of the six major sects.
Alexander looked at Liam, inquiring. “You said earlier that Gilmore has the backing of Star Gate and Blade Gate?”
“Exactly, Star Gate and Blade Gate are his support, Liam confirmed promptly.
“Star Gate and Blade Gate are the two largest sects in Oakhaven. How could they become the backing of this relatively unknown Gilmore?” At this point, another head with white hair and a silver beard couldn’t help but question.
Liam said, “Mr. Abbott, this is also something that David and I find puzzling. Perhaps Star Gate and Blade Gate are aware that he has Treasure Map
This white–haired, silver–bearded elder was the head of the Nine Cauldrons Sect from Oakhaven, named Nicholas Abbott.
Nicholas still had doubts. “Then why did you share the news of Treasure Map with all six of us?
Just to selflessly give the treasure to our six sects?”
When it came to the King’s Treasure, no sect, noble family, or powerful group could remain indifferent.
Therefore, Nicholas didn’t believe Liam could remain unaffected by such enormous wealth.
He also didn’t believe that Liam could be so generous, handing over such treasure to others.
Hatred flashed in Liam’s eyes as he said, “Mr. Abbott, I have a deep–rooted grudge against Gilmore. He not only caused the death of my best business partner, Elliot Wyatt, but also snatched away our biggest business project, the CBD project.
“Therefore, I want to avenge my best friend. I want to reclaim what belongs to me!”
Hearing this, all doubts from Nicholas and the other heads and Presbyters vanished.
They finally understood why Liam had shared this news with all six sects.
It turned out that Liam had a vendetta against Gilmore.
He sought revenge.
Everything now made sense.
Satisfied smiles appeared on the faces of Nicholas and the others as they collectively assured Liam, “Rest assured, Mr. Anderson, we will definitely help you seek revengel”

Chapter 282
Alexander Weston, the head of the Crane Sect, took out a piece of white paper from his robe and said to Liam Anderson.
Mr. Anderson, did you just say that the image of this rare piece of Renaissance art comes from the treasure map?”
Liam nodded, “That’s right, this is one of the pages of the treasure map. I’ve copied that page and sent it to every sect leader
“And. Gilmore gave it to Ken, which should belong to the royal anily”
Indeed, Liam had dispatched copies of the image from the treasure map he acquired from Kenji in a letter to the leaders of the six major SEVİN
“Mr. Anderson, may 1 ask where you got the image?” Alexander asked.
After all, Alexander was the sect leader.
It was related to the King’s Treasure, so he was unwilling to divulge any details, let alone be deceived.
The rest of the sect lenders and presbyters also looked at Liam.
Though they already knew that Liam had told them about the treasure map to take revenge on Gilmore.
However, they still needed to determine the authenticity of the treasure map’s source, whether it was genuine or fake.
Liam smiled and spoke calmly, “Master Weston, on that note, my family is connected to the treasure map in some way
“My ancestor chanced upon a page from the treasure map a century ago, and it’s this very page that you’ve all seen.”
“Can you show me then?” Alexander’s eyes burned as he asked.
Liam turned to Hiroshi Suarez, who was standing in the living room, and said, “Hiroshi, please display the authentic page from the Anderson family’s collection to all the gentlemen here.
“Yes, sir.” After Hiroshi had finished speaking, he took out a folded piece of aged paper from his pocket.
Hiroshi then handed it to Liam.
Indeed, this was one of the pages from the treasure map. It had been removed from the map by Kenji.
Kenji had anticipated for a while that the leaders of the six sects in Oakhaven would harbor suspicions about him.
In order to dispel their suspicions and thus to carry out his plan smoothly.
Kenji asked Hiroshi to bring this page along with him.
Liam unfolded the genuine painting, revealing that on the yellowed paper, those rare pieces of Renaissance art appeared vivid, with the colors of the pattern still retaining their freshness,
It was obvious that it was an authentic piece.
Alexander and the other sect leaders and Presbyters also dispelled their doubts,
“Although there’s nothing questionable about its origin, we’d still like to take a look at the piece Ken got, said Nicholas Abbott.
The other five sect leaders also nodded in agreement.
They could only truly confirm that Gilmore possessed a treasure map and had discovered the King’s Treasure once the piece.

Liam suggested. “Gentlemen, it’s been quite a journey, and we’re a bit worn out from our trip to the mansion. How about we pay a visit to the Davis residence tomorrow to seek confirmation”
Alexander and other sect leaders all nodded.
Since that rare piece of Renaissance art was at the Davis residence, there was no need to hurry.
Then. Liam asked the maids to lead all the sect leaders and presbyters to their respective rooms in the manor.
Early the following morning at the Davis Manor.
Ken, dressed in a white exercise suit, was working out in the backyard in the morning.
Then Harrison hurried over and said, “Dad, Liam and David have brought people from Oakhaven’s six major sects, and they’d like to meet with you”
Ken immediately stopped his morning exercise.
He frowned slightly and couldn’t believe it. “Did you say that Liam and David brought representatives from Oakhaven’s six major sects to see me?”
Harrison nodded. “Yes, they have arrived at the manor.”
Only then did Ken realize that his son was telling the truth, but he was even more confused. “Why did Liam and David bring them to see me?“.
They said that the leaders learned that you got a precious piece, so they came to have a look,” Harrison said.
Ken’s eyes were filled with worry. The piece given by Gilmore was his precious treasure.
How could he be willing to show it to others so easily?
However, since Oakhaven’s six major sect leaders were here, he couldn’t shut them o
OUL
Even if he was from the richest family in Vista Verde, he would not be hostile to these martial arts sects.
After all, these martial arts sects were not easy to deal with
Of course, even if Ken were willing to display his rare piece of Renaissance art for the leaders of the six major sects to admire.
He was also worried that they would cover it.
If they wished to take the piece, should he offer it to them or not?
This problem was quite a headache.
Ken said to Harrison, “Let’s go and have a look”
An hour later.
In the living room of the villa, Alexander, the leader of Crane Sect Nicholas, the leader of Nine Cauldrons Sect, and the other leaders and Presbyters had finished appreciating Ken’s rare piece of Renaissance art
After thanking Ken, they said goodbye and left.
Ken and Harrison sent them out of the villa and watched the leaders of the six major sects leave in their cars

Chapter 989
Ken Binally breathes a sigh of relief
Fortunately, what he was worried about did not happen.
They were genuinely appreciating” the Renaissance art, withoudany thoughts of “claiming it as their own.”
However, Ken still had some doubts in his heart, and he furrowed his brows as he asked his son, “Harrison, don’t you find it strange that the Sea Leader and Presbyters from the six major sects in Oakhaven would suddenly think of coming here to
Ken knew that these big shots of martial arts sects rarely showed as unless there was something important,
Furthermore, the presence of all the leaders and Presbyters was quite unusual
Harrison said. “Maybe Liam and David told them that you recently got a piece of top–grade Renaissance art.”
“That is even stranger. Usually, not even I, the wealthiest person as this city, would find it easy to invite them. How on earth did Liam and David manage to pull this off with these Sect leaders?”
Ken was confused.
Harrison was also puzzled by his father’s words.
That’s right, how could Liam and David invite the six sects leaders?
This was simply too strange.
“I have a feeling that there must be something we don’t know behind all this,” Ken looked at Harrison and said.
Harrison couldn’t help nodding in agreement.
But what exactly was hidden behind all this
They couldn’t figure it out.
In the Anderson manor.
After getting back to the manor, Liam, David, Hiroshi, and those from the six major sects took seats on the living room sofa.
The eyes of Alexander, Nicholas, and the other sect leaders all brightened up.
They couldn’t hide the joy on their faces.
Well, after personally “assessing the Renaissance a art at the Davis residence, they

were sure that it was listed on the treasure
In this manner, it could be confirmed that Gilmore possessed the treasure map and had found the King’s Treasure.
“Mr. Anderson, we’ve seen Ken’s Renaissance art and confirmed that Gilmore possesses the treasure map. Tonight, we’ll head to the Fields‘ residence, acquire the treasure map, and kill Gilmore to avenge you. Alexander, the leader of the Crane Sect, said with a cold smile.
Liam and David immediately shed tears of gratitude and said, “Thank you, master Weston!”
At the same time, within the Fields Manor.
Helene approached Gilmore’s bedroom door and knocked. “Wake up, Gilmore, you sleepyheadr
It was almost 10 o’clock in the moming, but Gilmore was still in bed.

Seeing that there was no response from inside, Helene opened the door and walked in.

Then, her gaze landed on the table, and she spotted a note there
She went over and picked it up to have a look.

The note contained a single line of text: “Helene, I had to return to Oakhaven for something. I’ll come to you in a few days.

After dinner, Graham and Helene were sitting on the sofa in the living room, drinking coffee.
“Helene, did Gilmore return to Oakhaven again?” Graham asked when he noticed the somber look on Helene’s face.
It was the butler, Murdoch, who told him that Gilmore had returned to Oakhaven.
Helene nodded gently. “Yes, he went back to Oakhaven.”
Graham said, “Well, Helene, Gilmore is a young talent with tens of billions of dollars. There must be a lot of rich young ladies eyeing him.
You must hold on tightly to Gilmore and prevent other young women from wealthy and influential families from taking him away.”
Helene pouted and expressed with a hint of grievance, “I wish he could stay by my side all the time, but he’s incredibly busy now. What can I do?”
Graham smiled. “It’s alright. You u just need to find the right time to get Gilmore to agree to an engagement with you.
“If you become his fiancée, those other young women from wealthy and influential families won’t stand a chance at snatching him away.”
An engagement!
Helene looked at her father in surprise.
She did not expect her father to be even more anxious than her
However, if she really got engaged to Gilmore, she would have no objections.
On the contrary, she was more than willing.
Thinking of this, Helene blushed shyly.
Seeing this, Graham undoubtedly grasped his daughter’s sentiments.
He said to Helene. “If you’re too embarrassed to talk to him, let me talk to him.
“I don’t believe that he wouldn’t want to get engaged to you just based on the current state of yo
your relationship.”
Graham still remained observant and wise. He was well aware of the deep bond between Gilmore and Helene, he only pretended not to know,
Helene immediately stopped her father. “Dad, don’t bring it up to him. If I do that, it’ll make it seem like I’m undateable, you know?
Graham laughed. “Well, I won’t mention it Tell him yourself.
“I was just reminding you that if you don’t hurry up, Gilmore will be targeted by other noble young ladies.”
Helene said awkwardly, “Dad, I see..”
Graham saw that his daughter was embarrassed, so he ceased speaking.

Just as Graban and Helene were perplexed, laurried footsteps apached from the door

Graham couldn’t help but frown. He looked at Murdoch and asked, “What happenede
There’s a group of masked warriors outside engaged in a battle with our Star Gate martial artists. These packed waron

At this point, Murdoch anxiously said to Graham, Sir, runt Rund It must be the Suarez whose come to get

Graham was surprised.
Even though the Suarez Group lost to Calmer in the battle for dares of the Davis Group’s gold mine

Furthermore, the Suarez Group had disintegrated, and Kenji was a fugitive from the police Stirring up such major chara would not be in Kenji’s best interests.
Before he had time to think, he heard the sounds of the brawl outside come to an abrupt halt.
Needless to say, the bande outside was over.
Then, footsteps approached one adier another.
In an instant, more than twenty men, who were covered with black masks and only their eyes could be seen, quickly entered. the living room
Graham and Helene couldn’t leave even if they wanted to
Although Graham was shocked, he still forced himself to calm down. He looked at the masked men and asked, “Who are your What can I do for you?”
“I’m looking for Gilmore Reed. Where is he? A masked man stared at Graham and asked
That old man with a sharp gaze was the Crane Sect’s leader, Alexander.
Indeed, the masked experts who intruded into the Fields Manor were the leaders and Presbyters of the six major sets of Oakhaven
They wore masks so that no one would recognize them and they could do what they needed to without any trouble.
Graham looked at the masked Alexander and said, “Gilmore is not in the manor. He left
“Then where did he go?” Nicholas, who was also masked, asked.
Graham said, “He didn’t say I don’t know”

“Well, since you won’t tell us, we’ll take your daughter with us. You can have her back when you find Gilmore. Right after Alexander finished speaking, he swiftly moved forward, reaching out to grab Helene.
Helene was shocked.
Graham was equally shocked.
However, at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Helene.
As Alexander approached Helene, he noticed someone trying to intervene. Without hesitation, he immediately launched an attack
Bang!
His palm struck the guy’s chest.
With a horrifying scream, the man was propelled backward.
Crashing into the living room floor, he started to vomit blood.
Only then did Helene and her father, Graham, realize that the man who tried to stop Alexander was Murdoch, the butler. Helene immediately ran over and helped Murdoch sit up with a sorrowful expression. “Murdoch, how are you feeling?” Murdoch shook his head at Helene, his face pale, and said, Tm okay. You should run with Mr. Field..”
When Helene saw how badly injured Murdoch was, she felt an inciescribable pain in her heart.
She also wanted to take the injured Murdoch and leave with her father, but escaping now seemed impossible.
“Hmph! You’re overestimating yourselves. Unless you hand over Gilmore, we’ll have to take her away,” After uttering those words, Alexander pivoted to launch another attack on Helene.
I didn’t expect that the leaders and Presbyters of Oakhaven’s six major sects would attack a woman. If this gets out, all the sects in Eldoria will laugh at you. How shameless!” Just then, an elderly, raspy voice filled with sarcasm abruptly sounded.
Alexander, who was in the midst of attempting to subdue Helene, halted upon hearing this.
He furrowed his brow, and anger flared in his eyes. He swiftly turned his gaze toward the door. Indeed, the raspy and elderly voice had originated from that direction.
However, he didn’t see anyone there.
Then, he shouted angrily, “Who’s there? If you have the nerve, show yourself”
“Well, here 1

As the voice echoed, a chilling breeze swept in through the door, carrying a swirl of sand with it. The constant sound of sand hitting the floor in the hallway seemed never–ending.

The cold wind blew, and sand descended to the ground.
A shadowy figure, resembling a flying hat, swiftly daried in through the door.
Whoosh!
In the freezing, windy weather, a dark figure had already arrived inside the hall.
The guy came down in front of Helene and the hurt butler, Murdoch.
When he entered the hall, the chilly wind went away, and sand seatered everywhere.
Alexander, Nicholas, and the rest all turned their attention to the person who had flown into the hall.
He was dressed in black and wore a silver mask. Except for his eyes and nose, his face remained entirely concealed.
The man in black with a silver mask exuded a mysterious and remarkably strong presence.
Well, the mysterious man in black was Gilmore
Shock flashed across Alexander’s eyes. He looked at Gilmore and asked, “Are you the Black Eagle Master, the new Star Gate leader?
The reason why Alexander said Gilmore was the Star Cate leader was that although he had never seen Gilmore before, the new leader was extremely mysterious. He called himself Black Engle Master.
Gilmore smiled, “I didn’t expect you to know about me, master Weston?”
Alexander sneered and remarked, I’m well aware. It seems you’ve taken someone else’s position to become the leader of Star Gate. Isn’t it rather dishonorable to lead in such a manner?
“I didn’t expect Tristan to be so useless as to have his position stolen by an outsider. What a coward”
The news of Sect Leader Tristan’s usurpation had already circulated among all the sects in Oakhaven.
That’s why Alexander ridiculed Tristan and the fact that Gilmore wasn’t the legitimate leader of Star Gate.
Gilmore gazed at Alexander and retorted, “Even if I’m not fit to be the sect leader, what about you and the six major sects, bullying an unarmed woman? Is that honorable?”
Alexander’s eyes widened in anger at Gilmore.
“Oh, are you the new leader of Star Gate. I’ve heard that you and Black Eagle Master have a unique relationship, Are you trying to stop us from taking Miss Field away?” Nicholas looked at Gilmore with burning eyes and asked.
“That’s right, I can’t let anyone bully the Fields. Gilmore looked fearlessly into Nicholas’s eyes,
“Well, when Tristan was the sect leader, he was already supercilious. I didn’t expect that you, the new sect leader, would be even more supercilious than him. Nicholas sounded a little angry.
Gilmore responded, “You’re exaggerating, but you’re just a group of insignificant individuals. You don’t deserve me to use my full strength,
“And as for becoming my opponent? You’ve got a lot of catching up to do.”
Gilmore was not bragging

With his current martial arts prowess, he could defeat all the members of the six sects with a single move.
It didn’t mean that the people of the six sects were too weak.
Π
At the very least, Gilmore found that the six leaders, including Alexander and Nicholas, were nearly all skilled martial artists. at the primary and intermediate levels.
Even those Presbyters were top–notch internal force martialists,
With such strength, they could already be regarded as martialists.
However, compared to regular martial artists, they could be considered experts.
Compared to Gilmore, who possessed extraordinary strength, they were nothing.
The only outcome was to be swiftly defeated by Gilmore!
However, when Alexander. Nicholas, and the other leaders heard what Gilmore said, they were furious
He was too arrogant!
In their opinion, what Gilmore said was an insult to them.
No matter how weak the six sects were, they were not weaklings as Gilmore said.
What made them even angrier was that Gilmore said that they were far from being his match!
How humiliating!
“Well, let’s see what you can do today!” Alexander gritted his teeth and said with a sharp look in his eyes.
Nicholas and the gazes of the other Sect leaders and Presbyters gleamed with intensity.
They also wanted to get rid of this arrogant and arrogant Star Gate leader.

Star Gate and Blade Gate had consistently been among the top sects in
The two sects had always been the top two in Oakhaven, suppressing the weaker sects such as Crane Sect and Nine Cauldrons SecL
Now, there was a golden opportunity to eliminate the Black Eagle Master. This would leave Star Gate without a leader and eventually disband the sect, making it unable to control or restrain the six major sects.
With the collapse of Star Gate, certain sects among them would have an opportunity to step into the sect’s former position and vie for a spot among the top two sects in Oakhaven.
“Attack” The leaders swiftly reached an agreement through eye contact and issued the command.
They quickly stepped forward and surrounded Gilmore
At the same time, they also surrounded Helene and Murdoch.
When Graham saw that his daughter was surrounded by the people of the six major sects, he was naturally worried about
her.
However, Graham was not a martialist, so he did not dare to rush forward to save Helene.
He could only pin all his hopes on Black Eagle Master.

Upon hearing this, Alexander, Nicholas, and the other leaders were all infuriated. This Star Cate leader was truly arrogant!
He couldn’t even defend himself against the onslaught of more than a dozen martialists from the six major sects, let alone protect Helene and Murdoch.
Did he truly believe they were a group of weak and feeble men
“Kill him!” Alexander cried out fiercely.
More than a dozen martial artists from the six sects launched their attacks with incredible speed.
Most of them targeted Gilmore, while one or two went after Helene and Murdoch.
Needless to say, they wanted to capture Helene and Murdoch and use them to threaten Black Eagle Master.
In particular, Helene was highly valuable to them.
In short, capturing Helene and Murdoch would only bring about benefits.
More than a dozen internal force martialists and top–tier martialist attacked together.
Their presence was overwhelming. Their techniques were formidable. They radiated potent energy, and a fierce wind swept through.
Gilmore was surrounded by a multitude of murderous intentions
Helene and Murdoch, caught in the maelstrom of power, were close to being overwhelmed.
The horrifying pressure appeared as though it aimed to crush them to dust!
Alexander’s ferocious punch, Nicholas’s mana–charged strike, and the other Sect Leaders‘ astounding fists assaulted Gilmore from every direction.
Gilmore had no escape. Facing the assault of them, there appeared to be only one possible outcome: a merciless and fatal defeat at their hands!

RUMBLE.
Out of nowhere, Gilmore felt like a tornado was brewing inside him.
The force and vigor of Alexander, Nicholas, and the others‘ attacks were immediately quelled.
Under this terrifying airflow, they felt that they were about to suffocate, not to mention launching any further attacks.
This made them extremely anxious.
However, at that moment, a spark lit up in Gilmore’s eyes. In the very next instant, he struck out with his palm.
In a split second, the shadowy palms, akin to an unstoppable force, relentlessly bombarded Alexander, Nicholas, and the others.
Bang Bang! Bang!
Alexander, Nicholas, and over a dozen others were sent soaring by Mountain–Crushing Palm Shadows‘ impact.
Piercing screams echoed repeatedly.
They crashed heavily into the hull, shattering tables and chairs, while others fractured the marble floor in the
living:
Blood gushed from their mouths and their faces were filled with pain. It appeared that all their bones had been crumbled.
They couldn’t even stand up for a moment.
At this moment, Gilmore retracted his Mountain–Crushing Palm Shadows, and the hurricane–like airflow vanished instantly,
Gilmore stood calmly in the full. With his black clothes and silver mask, he appeared as an unmatched warrior, emanating a breathtaking aura.
In the hall, Graham, Helene, and Murdoch were all stunned.
They didn’t expect the Black Eagle Master’s martial arts skills to be so astonishing!
Confronted with the attacks from the leaders and Presbyters of the six major sects, Gilmore defeated them in a single move
Such martial arts were really shocking and unique in the world!
Graham and the other two were completely shocked.
They couldn’t help but think that they were really lucky to have Black Eagle Master here today.
Otherwise, the Fields would be doomed.
The leaders and Presbyters of the six major sects were all severely wounded and unable to stand for some time.
They looked at Gilmore in panic.
Gilmore single–handedly defeated them with a single strike.
Such strength was utterly terrifying.
These were the six sect leaders, something Nicholas and Alexander had never imagined.

Even Tristan, the former leader of Star Gate, couldn’t defeat the six leaders, let alone when accompanied by other Presbyters
After clashing with Gilmore, Alexander, Nicholas, and the rest realized the vast gap that separated them from Gilmore.
They also finally understood why Gilmore had referred to them as weak and ineffectual..
Why did he mention that they had a long way to go before they could even compete with him?
At this moment, Gilmore walked towards them.
Seeing Gilmore walking towards them, Alexander, Nicholas, and the other sect leaders all had fear in their eyes.
They were all extremely nervous.
They had seen how powerful Gilmore was.
They were no match for him.
If Gilmore wanted to, he could kill them easily.
Therefore, they were afraid that Gilmore would kill them now.
Their bodies had started to regain some of their awareness. Then, they immediately struggled to stand up and staggered back.
Gilmore walked forward step by step
Then, Alexander, Nicholas, and the rest retreated against the wall in the villa’s living room. They had no more room to
retreat.
As they saw Gilmore continuing to advance with a frigid gaze, they felt as though fear had gripped their hearts
Consumed by extreme fear, they too collapsed..
With a series of thuds, Alexander, Nicholas, and the rest all knelt before Gilmore one by one.
They kowtowed and pleaded, “Black Eagle Master, we were mistaken. We should never have provoked you and disrupted the Fields.
Prior to the leaders of the six major sects pleading for mercy, they continued to prostrate themselves. When they eventually looked up, their foreheads had broken skin and were
red.
Graham and his daughter, as well as Murdoch, were stunned.
They didn’t expect that the six leaders, who had been threatening Gilmore just now, would kowtow and beg him at this
moment.
They looked as pitiful as beggars.
Graham and the other two were dumbfounded by the sudden change.
The reason Alexander, Nicholas, and the others kowtowed to Gilmore was that they didn’t want to get killed.
Gilmore looked at them with cold and sharp eyes and said, “I won’t kill you if you agree to three terms
Upon hearing this, the six leaders felt a flicker of hope for their survival.
They said to Gilmore, one after another. “Black Eagle Master, please tell us, as long as we can do it, you can propose as many

Chapter 285
conditions as you want.
Gilmore said, “Listen up. The first condition is that starting today, all six sects must follow Star Gate’s commands.”
The six leaders exchanged glances and pondered, “If the six sects obey Star Cate, does that mean we’ll be under its authority? In that case, wouldn’t they become subordinates of Star Gate? Wouldn’t the six sects lose their independence? They’d still be under Star Gate’s control. It’s practically turning into the Star Gate!”
“What? You don’t agree?” At this moment, Gilmore glanced at them coldly.
This made their hearts tremble.
While the six sects would be under Star Gate’s control, at least they wouldn’t face death.
Compared to losing a sect’s independence, one’s own life was undoubtedly more important.
Therefore, they squeezed out smiles together, nodded, and said, “Black Eagle Master, we are willing, we are willing..”
At this point, Gilmore nodded with satisfaction. “Very good. Now I’ll state the second condition. You can’t harm the Fields in the future, and if they are in danger, you must save them, or I won’t let you go.”
The six sect leaders were stunned.
As the six major sects, were they not responsible for safeguarding the security of the Fields?
Moreover, if something happened to the Fields, they would have to take responsibility?
“Isn’t this too overbearing?” they thought.
Despite the differing opinions of the six sect leaders, did they truly have a choice?
have no choice
If they dared to refuse, Gilmore would unleash another Mountain–Crushing Palm Shadows, and they would have but to meet their demise.
Hence, all six of them replied in unison. “We are willing to comply with your second condition, Black Eagle Master,”
Gilmore nodded. “Not bad!”
“I know that you came to the Fields this time to get the treasure map.
“I can tell you that it’s in my hand.
“So, the third condition is that all of you must keep this information confidential. If this news were to become public, 1 would also eliminate all of you.”
Hearing this, Alexander, Nicholas, and the others felt so wronged that they were about to cry.
They had to take responsibility for what had happened to the Fields.
Now that the news of the treasure map had been leaked, they had to take responsibility.
What an extraordinary condition!
How could he be so unreasonable
Alexander cautiously stated, “Black Eagle Master, Liam and David shared the information about the treasure map with us.”

Chapter 285
“If they leak the news, won’t we be wronged?”
Gilmore said coldly, “Then think of a way to prevent the two from leaking the news.”
Hearing this, Alexander, Nicholas, and the others immediately understood.
Of course, they knew that the person who would never leak the news could only be a dead man.
They immediately replied to Gilmore, “We understand.”
hapter 286
Gilmore released his grip on the six sect leaders, and they vanished into the night.
Watching them leave, Graham, Helene, and Murdoch breathed a sigh of relief.
The storm was finally over.
Graham was immediately very grateful and said to Gilmore, “Black Eagle Master, thank you for saving us. We will definitely remember your kindness”
Gilmore said indifferently, “You’re welcome, Mr. Field. Gilmore and I are sworn friends, and he entrusted me with protecting the Fields. This is what I should do.”
Graham was even happier when he heard that Gilmore and Black Eagle Master had a life–and–death friendship!
He didn’t expect Gilmore to be so capable as to make a friend with Black Eagle Master whose martial arts skill was incredible.
Moreover, before Gilmore left, he entrusted Black Eagle Master to protect them
Graham was even more touched by Gilmore.
His daughter had indeed found the right person to fall in love with.
Only such a man could be entrusted with her life.
Gilmore helped Helene and Murdoch up and asked, “Are you all right?”
Helene shook her head. Tm fine”
Then, she looked at Murdoch worriedly and said to Gilmore, “But Murdoch is injured.”
Although Murdoch was injured, his life was not in danger. He endured the pain and said to Gilmore, “I’m fine, Black Eagle
Master.”
Without Gilmore, he wouldn’t have stood a chance at survival, and even Graham and Helene might not have survived.
Therefore, Murdoch was very grateful to Gilmore,
Gilmore said to Murdoch, “How about this? I’ll treat your internal injuries.”
Hearing that Gilmore was going to heal him, Murdoch quickly said, “No, no. You’ve already saved my life, Black Eagle Master. I can’t let you expend any more energy to heal me.”
However, Gilmore said indifferently, “Don’t worry. I won’t waste my energy
“Really?” Murdoch still didn’t believe it.
Gilmore nodded. “Of course.”
Helene also tried to persuade Murdoch. “Murdoch, please let Black Eagle Master treat you.”
Murdoch agreed. “Thank you then, Black Eagle Master.”
After that, he was about to bow to Gilmore, but Gilmore stopped him and said, “It’s alright. Sit down first.”
Murdoch sat cross–legged on the ground as he was told.

Chapter 286
Gilmore sat opposite him,
Gilmore ran his mana to heal Murdoch.
Around ten minutes later, Murdoch’s pale complexion gradually regained its color, and the pain and distress disappeared from his face.
Then, Gilmore retracted his palms and rose from the ground. He gazed at Murdoch and remarked, “Tve already healed internal injuries. You can stand up and check if you’re feeling better now.”
–
Hearing this, Murdoch got up from the ground, stretched his limbs, and took another deep breath
Then, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
That’s right, he found that all his pain had disappeared.
He felt as if nothing had happened.
It appeared that all the injuries he had endured had vanished.
Murdoch was a little excited and said to Gilmore, “Black Eagle Master. I’m really… fine! You cured mer
Seeing that Murdoch had fully recovered, Graham and Helene were also overjoyed and thanked Gilmore repeatedly.

Gilmore said to the father and daughter, “Mr. Field and Miss Field, it’s getting late. The Six Sects have received my warning and will not disturb you again.
“I have something to do, so I will be leaving first. If you have any needs, just call Julian. I will send someone over.”
Graham and Helene said gratefully, Thank you, Black Eagle Master. We’ll see you
However, Gilmore said to them, “Thanks, I can go by myself.”
After saying that, Cilmore turned around and swiftly headed for the door, moving like an eagle with its wings fully
outstretched.
With a swift swoosh, he flew out of the door and vanished into the night.
In the Anderson manor.
During the night at the manor, the only sounds were the footsteps of the patrolling bodyguards, creating an eerie quietness.
At that very moment, two screams shattered the stillness of the manor.
The bodyguards on patrol were all shocked.
Their leader appeared to have noticed something and said to his subordinates, “It’s coming from the villa where the master stays! Let’s go check it out!”
All the bodyguards promptly rushed to the villa, the source of the screams.
When all the bodyguards rushed into the villa and came to the second floor, they were shocked to see Liam and David lying on the ground with their eyes wide open and blood coming out of their mouths.
The leader of the bodyguards regained his composure and promptly moved forward to assess Liam and David’s breathing.
Then, his face changed and he exclaimed, “Master and Mr. Anderson are dead!”
The bodyguards were in a state of panic, exclaiming in disbelief. “How could they be dead?”

Sat, Sep
Chapter 286
“Who on earth killed them?”
The leader of the bodyguards swiftly pieced together the situation and instructed all the bodyguards, “The Master and Mr. Roy have just been murdered. Let’s pursue the killer!”
All the bodyguards immediately went downstairs to chase after the killer.
However, at that moment, six men were positioned on the rooftop of a villa within the manor.
Under the light of the moon, one could see that they were Alexander, Nicholas, and the other sect leaders.
Looking at the chaos within the manor, Alexander turned to the other five leaders, saying, “Liam and David are gone. The info on the treasure map won’t get out. We can relax.”
That’s right, the people who killed Liam and David were none other than them.
After leaving the Fields‘ manor, they discreetly made their way back to the Anderson manor. They skillfully evaded the guards and slipped into Liam’s villa without arousing any suspicion
Then, they killed Liam and David, who were waiting for them in the villa.
“It’s just strange. Why is Liam’s butler missing?” Nicholas frowned slightly and said with some worry.
The butler he was talking about was Hiroshi.
Because he knew that when Liam told them about the treasure map, Hiroshi was present.
“He’s just a mere butler, shaken to the core by the deaths of Liam and David. How could he even think about spilling the beans on the treasure map?” One of the sect leaders jeered
However, Alexander said with a cautious face, “Although a butler is nothing. Black Eagle Master had said that once the news is leaked, he will get even with us
“Therefore, in order to ensure nothing goes wrong, we must get rid of him once and for all.”
The leader who had mocked earlier sneered once more. “But by now, he’s likely found a hiding spot. He probably won’t surface for a while. Should we look for him in Vista Verde every day?”
“No, if we hang around Vista Verde, he’ll stay hidden. Let’s head back to our sects for now. We’ll leave a few Presbyters to quietly hunt for him. If they locate him, then kill him right away, Alexander said with a serious expression as he looked at the other leaders.
Everyone agreed without any arguments. “Okay, we’ll leave a few Presbyters to quietly find and deal with him.”
Afterward, they swiftly departed from the villa’s rooftop, resembling eagles in flight.

Chapter 287
In a secluded villa within Vista Verde, Kenji, accompanied by hitson Tatsuya and daughter Luna, sat on the living room sofa, enjoying cups of coffee.
“Dad, did our plan fail?” Tatsuya asked his father in disbelief
Kenji nodded and explained. “When the ones from the six major sects visited the Fields, I had Hiroshi follow them discreetly.
“Black Fagle Master, the leader of Star Gate defeated the six major sert leaders
“Then Hiroshi contacted me, and I also left the Anderson’s residence ahead of time”
“Dad, why did you evacuate in advance? Tatsuya asked in confusion.
“Hiroshi informed me that the sect leaders have pledged allegiance to Star Gate. To prove their loyalty, they opted to kill Liam and David, Kenji revealed.
Thus, I must leave before they arrive at the Anderson manor. Otherwise, I will be in danger.”
Tatsuya finally understood why his father had suddenly returned from the Anderson manor.
At that moment, the sound of approaching cars could be heard from outside the villa.
Kenji said to his two children, “Hiroshi must have come back”
As the footsteps drew nearer, Hiroshi indeed entered through the door.
“Father, I’m back!” Hiroshi said respectfully to Kenji.
Kenji asked. “Hiroshi, is there any news?”
Hiroshi reported, “As expected, Liam and David have already been killed by the six sect le
leaders”
A heavy expression appeared on Kenji’s face as he said, “In that case, it means all our plans to use others as pawns and profit from the conflict have all failed.”
“Yes, father, Hiroshi said rather helplessly.
I didn’t expect this Black Eagle Master, to be so capable. He actually ruined all my plans.” Kenji clenched his fists and said unwillingly.
“Then what should we do next?” Hiroshi looked at Kenji.
Kenji’s eyes flashed with a stern expression. He remarked. “The same old trick!”
“Again?” Hiroshi, Tatsuya, and Luna all looked confused.
Kamikawa explained, “Even Star Gate can suppress Oakhaven’s six major sects.
“There were still so many sects in Eldoria, and many of them were far more powerful than Star Gate
“Since Oakhaven’s six major sects are no match for Star Gate, we can find stronger sects in Eldoria to fight with Star Gate!”
Hiroshi, Tatsuya, and Luna instantly under y
Tatsuya’s eyes lit up as he said to his father. “Father, this move is really brilliant!”
Chapter 87
It more and more strong sexgs in Eldoris find out about the treasure map, they will surely come looking for it.
At that point, these sects would certainly engage in brutal conflicts, resulting in rivers of bloodded among their disciples.
This way, the Suarez family could seize the opportunity and gain advantages.
At that very moment, a chilly voice emanated from the entrance “What a brilliant plan. Mr. Suarez. Unfortunately, I’m afraid that it won’t work.”
In the hall. Kenji and the other three people were shocked and all looked at the door.
A figure dressed in black, wearing a silver mask over his face, entered silently, resembling an envoy of darkness.
hall
An aura as profound shrouded the entire
Seeing this man in black with a silver mask. Hiroshi’s expression changed. “Black Eagle Master from Star Gate!”
Hearing that, Kenji Tatsuya, and Luna were all startled,
They couldn’t believe that Black Eagle Master, the leader of Star Gate, would show up in their secret residence.
Yes, it was Gilmore.
He had discovered Kenji’s secret residence through God’s Eye because he had learned that the six major sects intended to cause trouble for the Fields.
He also knew that Kenji was the instigator.
He even knew that Kenji was hiding in this secret place.
Kemi turned to Gilmore and issued a command in a composed manner, “Listen up, all martial artists from the Suarez family! Take him down!”
However, there was no resp
response. No martialists rushed in from outside.
Kenji couldn’t help but frown. Something was wrong!
At that moment, Gilmore smirked and said, “Mr. Suarez, I’m sorry, but I disabled your men before coming in. They won’t be able to follow your orders”
Hearing this, Kenji realized why there had been no response from the martial artists outside.

more
However, this shocked Kenji ev
There were at least forty or fifiy martial artists outside.
Gilmore managed to discreetly seal all their pressure points without making a sound.
Gilmore was terrifyingly good at martial arts.
Kenji’s heart sank unconsciously.
He couldn’t help but look uneasy
With Gilmore’s ternlying strength, it was obvious that the four of them were no match for him.
Kenji forced himself to calm down. He looked at Gilmore and said. “Black Eagle Master, what do you want?”
“You tasked the six sects with killing both Gilmore and me, and you even sought to confiscate the treasure map. Your
Chapter 287
intentions are malevolent and ruthless, aiming to end our lives.” Eilmore said with a cold tone.
So, I want you to die. Only death can atone for your sins!”
Hearing this, I una trowned and immediately stood in front of her father to protect him. She said to Gilmore. “You bastard, histen up. As long as I am alive, I will never let you hurt my father?”
Gilmore then looked at her face.
Luna’s lovely eyebrows were aglow and enchanting, while her eyes burned with intense hatred.
Her petite nose and slender lips were firmly pressed together, radiating a resolute and unwavering aura.
Her fair complexion was as beautiful as a chet om atop Mount Celestial
She was dressed in traditional Atita attire, which highlighted her curvaceous figure.
Gilmore had long heard that women from Atita were extremely beautiful. Now that he saw the Luna, he believed it.
Such beauty was truly captivating and a delight to behold!
Gilmore sutiled and said, “Oh, it’s Miss Suarez. For the sake of your exceedingly beautiful appearance. I can give you a
chance.
“If you can defeat me, I can let your father go.
Luna snorted and said, “You’re spouting nonsense. If I’ve already defeated you, what can you possibly do?”
After saying that, she clenched her fists and assumed a fighting stance.
Gilmore was speechless.
It seemed like what Luna said made sense!
As expected of a beauty from Atita. She was also quite sharp.
Gilmore found himself somewhat attracted to her.
So, he adjusted his words and said, “Okay! If you can handle three of my moves, I’ll free your father”
“Three moves? I’d take on ten or even a hundred moves, no problem. I’m not afraid of you!” Luna raised her little face and spoke in a rather arrogant manner.
Kenji pulled his daughter aside and said earnestly, “Lupa, you step back first. You are no match for him. Let me do
However, Kenji
Before Luna could say anything. Kenji looked at Hiroshi and said. “Let’s join forces to fight against him. Hiroshi
Although Hiroshi knew that even if he joined forces with Kenji, they would still be no match for Gilmore.
But now, in order to survive, he had to fight.
Hiroshi replied, “Yes, father!”
hapter 288
Kenji and Hiroshi attacked Gilmore in the blink of an eye.
The situation was undeniably tense
An immense pressure immediately surrounded Gilmore.
Both Kenji and Hiroshi were intermediate top–tier martialists.
They were aware that they couldn’t compete with Gilmore, but to stay alive, both of them exerted every ounce of their strength
At least they tried their best!
Amid the gusty force, Gilmore remained steadfast
His eyes were extremely calm.
It was as if no peril could disturb his heart in the slightest.
Just as Kengi and Hiroshi were about to strike at Gilmore
In this moment, a gleam of light flashed in Gilmore’s cyri
In an instant, he started radiating an immense corrgy
Gilmore moved swiftly
He released the strike of Mighty Palm Shadows!
Bang! Bang!
Gilmore hit them both with a single strike!
Afterward, both of them let out bugh–pitched screams as they were sent lying
Under the surprised gares of Luna and Tatsuya, Kenji and Hirodi tumbled onto the living room floor.
They smashed the marble floor of the living room into pieces.
Kenji and Hiroshi were both heavily injured. They spit blood, their faces were extremely pale
For a moment, they couldn’t even stand up
When Luna and Tatsuya saw this, they couldn’t help but hurriedly run over. “Father”
The two helped their father up from the ground.
Kenji looked painful. He looked at his children and said, “Luna Tatsuya, I’m afraid we’re all going to die here today”
Aberce light flashed through Luna’s eyes. She said to her father, Dad, as long as I’m here, I won’t let anyone hurt you at all.
After saying that, Luna stood up and walked towards Gilmore
It was too late for Kenji to stop her. He could only call out to her Luna, come back
However, Luna did not listen to her father. Instead, she stopped about ten feet away from Gilmore

Luna gazed at Gilmore fearlessly and declared. “Sir, you’ve crippled my brother’s martial skills and harmed my father. Today, I’m prepared to fight you to the end.”
Gilmore nodded. “Okay, please make the first move. Miss Suarez
Luna frowned, her eyes filled with an intense eagerness for combat.
She assumed a fighting stance.
In the next instant, dressed in her attire, she channeled her internal mana and swiftly struck Gilmore like a gust of wind.
Whoosh!
Luna’s palm strike was as sharp as a knife, impressively powerful!
However, despite the speed and intensity of her palm strike, Gilmore still dodged it easily.
Luna’s palm strike missed Gilmore, and she quickly followed with a fist aimed at his chin.
As she threw her punch it generated a thunderous sound, as if it aimed to shatter Gilmore’s jawbone.
However, at this moment, Gilmore suddenly reached out with his right palm and grabbed Luna’s fist.
All of Luna’s attacks dissipated the moment Gilmore caught her fist
Gilmore glanced at Luna and remarked, “Miss Suarez, didn’t you have dinner today? Why do you seem so feeble?”
Luna was both anxious and angry,
She wanted to use all her strength to break free from Gilmore’s grip and punch Gilmore to teach him a lesson.
However, strangely, after Gilmore grasped her fist, she felt as if it had been firmly pulled.
She couldn’t move her fist either forward or backward.
Furthermore, as Gilmore pulled her fist with his immense strength, he subdued all the internal mana in her body.
It could be said that at this moment. Gilmore was completely in control of Luna,
“You let go of my fist!” Luna said angrily to Gilmore.
Seeing that his daughter was no match for Gilmore and was being controlled by him, Kenji anxiously said to Gilmore, “Don’t hurt my daughter. You can kill me instead.”
Luna immediately objected. “No, Dad, you can’t die. L‘
However, before she could complete her words, Gilmore rendered her unable to make any sound.
Now Luna couldn’t speak or move.
Gilmore let go of her fist, looked at Kenji, and said, “I don’t have to kill you.
“But I’ll give you three days to leave Vista Verde and never set foot in Eldoria again. Do you agree?”
Even Kergi. Tatsuya, Hiroshi, and Luna couldn’t believe what they heard.
“Are you willing to let me go?” After coming to his senses, Kenji looked at Gilmore and asked.

Gilmore said, “I let you go because your family hasn’t done any substantial harm to me and Mr. Reed.
“But you’ve tried to harm Star Gate and Mr. Reed several times. can’t just let you go like this.

“I want your daughter to be a hostage in our sect for a period of time. When I think you have really turned over a new leaf and stopped causing trouble in Eldoria, I will send her back.”
Hearing this, a look of surprise appeared on Kenji’s face.
Hiroshi and Tatsuya also didn’t expect Gilmore to want to use Lalina as a hostage.
A pleading expression appeared on Kenji’s face as he implored Gilmore, “Black Eagle Master, can you take me as a hostage instead of my daughter!”
Gilmore said, “I won’t say that you can’t be the hostage, but in the future, you’ll have to do the hard work of washing toilets, sweeping the floor, picking water, and cooking. Are you willing to do all of those things?”
Kenji’s face twitched. Did Gilmore want him to become a servant or a hostage?
As the head of the Suarez family, Kenji had always been served by servants. He had never engaged in any manual labor or menial tasks before.
Therefore, for a moment, Kenji couldn’t answer.
Seeing the conflicted look on Kenji’s face, Gilmore suggested, “How about this? You and your daughter can discuss who will be the hostage.”
After that, Gilmore touched Luna’s nerve points, so that she could speak.
Once Luna could speak, she immediately said to Gilmore firmly, “I’m willing to be your hostage, Gilmore, but I don’t wash the toilet, sweep the floor, pick water, or cook
The reason Luna had been so eager to become a hostage was because she didn’t want his father, as the master of the Suarez, family to be humiliated.
Gilmore responded calmly. “Well, ladies first. Since you are a woman, you won’t have to do all the heavy chores.”
Upon hearing this, Kenji, Hiroshi, and Tatsuya were all stunned
Gilmore preferred women over men!
As hostages, men had to take care of tasks like washing toilets, sweeping the floor, fetching water, and cooking, while women were given priority and exempted from these laborious and dirty chores.
This caused Kenji to get slightly frustrated!
Gilmore looked at Kenji and said, “Your daughter said she wanted to be a hostage. If there’s no problem, it’s settled.”
Kenji naturally knew that his daughter didn’t want him to suffer.
He looked at Luna and said guiltily, “Luna, I’m useless. I got you into trouble and made you a hostage
Til wait for you in Kouis. You must take good care of yourself.”
Luna looked at her father, then nodded gently. “Father, I understand. Don’t worry about me, I’ll be fine.”
Gilmore said to Kenji. “Don’t forget the condition I mentioned. Leave Vista Verde in three days and never set foot in Eldoria again.”

Kenji nodded solemnly and said, “Don’t worry, I will leave in three days. Also, please keep your promise and allow my daughter to return to Atita after a certain period.”
“No problem,” Gilmore said.
Then, Gilmore wrapped his arm around Luna’s waist and left the living room.
He followed Gilmore out of the door and discovered that Gilmore and Luna had vanished into the night.
Chapter 289
Kenji let out a heavy sigh
“Dad, will it really be safe for Luna to be held hostage at Star Gate?” Tatsuya asked his father in a worried voice.
Kenji said, “Our lives are completely in the hands of the leader of Star Gate. He can kill us easily.
“I don’t think he will kill Luna. If he really wants to kill Luna and us, there is no need to take her back as a hostage.”
Tatsuya felt that his father’s words made sense.
“Then, how long will it take for him to let Luna go back to Atita!”
Kenji frowned and expressed his worry, saying, “I’m afraid it depends on his mood. As soon as he thinks the time is right, he’ll release your sister.
“Perhaps your s longer.”
sister will return in three to five days, but if he’s in a bad mood, it might take one or two months, or even
Kenji suddenly felt a little regretful.
If Kenji had known that the Black Eagle Master of Star Gate had such amazing martial arts skills, he wouldn’t have dared to entertain the thought of taking the treasure map, even if he had known Gilmore had it.
In that case, his son wouldn’t have become disabled in martial arts, and his daughter wouldn’t have been taken hostage.
“Father, are we really going back to Atita in three days?” Tatsuya asked again.
Kenji nodded. “Even if your sister hadn’t fallen into the hands of Star Gate, nothing like this would have happened. Our Suarez Group has fallen, and I’m wanted by the Vista Verde police. I have to return to Atita.”
He had planned to return after getting the treasure map from Gilmore,
But now, it was obvious that this plan failed.
“Get ready in the next two days, and then let’s go back. After giving instructions to his son, Kenji turned around and went
back to the villa
Tatsuya replied, “Yes, father.”
After Kenji entered the villa, Tatsuya turned to Hiroshi and said, “Hiroshi, we’re going back to Atita in three days. I’ll leave you in charge of arranging the plane tickets, passports, and ensuring we can avoid the police.
“If there is anything you don’t understand, you can talk to Mr. Nakamura”
After that, without waiting for Hiroshi’s reply, Tatsuya returned to the villa, as if it was a routine conversation with a subordinate.
As Hiroshi watched Tatsuya walk away, a determined gleam shone in Hiroshi’s eyes. “Loser! Do you really think you can give me orders and talk to me like that?” he silently mused.
Hiroshi clenched his palms in secret, a profound well of hatred simmering within him.
In the night sky, the bright moon was shining, casting its radiance over Sword Mountain and the pavilions and halls of Star Gate, where the lights were gleaming brightly.
The night here was indeed beautiful and peaceful.

It could be seen that there were martialisis patrolling outside the gate.
At this moment, two figures descended in front of the gate like birds,
The four martialists guarding the gate immediately shouted alertly, “Who is it?”

However, when they saw Gilmore in black with a silver mask, they were so surprised that they immediately cupped their fists and said, “Greetings, Black Eagle Master.”
Yes, the reason why they were so respectful was that they recognized that the man was Black Eagle Master.
Gilmore said. “No need for this.”
Then, Gilmore released Luna’s pressure points and advised her, “We’re at Star Gate now. I suggest you abandon any thoughts of escape and comply with being held as a hostage within the sect
“Otherwise, you will only suffer.”
After that, Gilmore walked into the door.
Watching Gilmore walk in, Luna was a little unconvinced.
However, along the way. Gilmore took her along like an immortal.
Gilmore’s unfathomable martial arts skills still deeply shocked her.
It could be said that Gilmore was the person with the highest martial arts skills she had ever met
Even her grandfather, a top–tier martialist, couldn’t compare with Gilmore.
In other words, aside from obediently staying at Star Cate as a hostage, there was no other way for Luna.
However, Gilmore’s words were so stern that she found them difficult to accept.
Well, although Luna was unconvinced, she still followed Gilmore to get inside.
The four disciples at the gate rubbed their eyes, wondering if it was an illusion. Had Black Eagle Master really brought back a beautiful foreign woman as a hostage?
But why did this beauty become their leader’s hostage?
Their faces were full of doubts.
At the same time, after Gilmore entered Star Cate’s premises with Luna, who was dressed in exotic attire, all the people in the sect were shocked.
The experts bowed respectfully to Gilmore and greeted him. All of them glanced curiously at Luna.
Who on earth was this foreign beauty?
Why did their Leader bring her back to Star Cate?
They all guessed that this foreign beauty was their leader’s sweetheart.
In other words, she was very likely to be the Star Gate’s leader’s wife.
After Gilmore and Luna walked over, they whispered, “So it’s our leader’s sweetheart!”
“Who would have thought that our leader actually loves foreign beauty!”

Chapter 280
“Our leader’s taste is truly extraordinary. Not only is she devastatingly beautiful, but her aura is also unparalleled
“It’s a great fortune for Star Gate to have such a beautiful and elegant matriarch
Upon hearing these words, Luum almost got furious.
However, when she saw Gilmore walking beside her wearing a mask, she became icy–cold too and did not dare to say anything
Gilmore took her to the attic where the sect leader lived,
“Greetings, Master, the two disciples saluted respectfully as they saw Cilmore at the entrance of the attic.
Gilmore said, “You can leave now!
The two disciples found it strange and said, “Master, it’s our duty to protect you tonight.”
Gilmore said, “I don’t need guards anymore. I’ll be fine.”
The two disciples nodded in agreement with Gilmore. They had witnessed Gilmore’s victory over the martial artists from the Suarez family.
It could be said that even without their protection, no one could hurt their leader, whose martial arts were skillful.
Thus, the two disciples agreed and left.
Gilmore opened the door and walked in.
Luna glanced at the four–story attic and thought, “Am I going to live here tonight?”
“Hey, where am I staying tonight? Luna asked Gilmore.
What?
did not look back and only said, “You will live with me in the future”
Luna was instantly stunned.
Then, her eyes flashed with anger as she said, “What do you want? I don’t want to live with you.”
This time, Gilmore stopped, turned to look at her, and said, “If you don’t want to live with me, then you can spend the night in the courtyard outside.
“But I can’t guarantee that no one will try to do anything to you in the middle of the night.”
After that, Gilmore turned around and went upstairs.
She looked at the courtyard and shuddered when she thought of what Gilmore had just said.
When she had entered earlier, she couldn’t help but notice that all the male members of Star Gate were gazing at her with. intense interest.
As a result, Luna was so scared that she immediately entered the attic and closed the door firmly.
But she forgot that Gilmore night also have desires for her.
Chapter 290
After closing the door, Lana found that there was a living room on the first floor. It was decorared in an antique and elegant style.
But there was no bedroom.
Thus, she walked up the stairs,
There was a study room on the second floor, surrounded by rows of bookshelves filled with books.
There were even paintings and calligraphy hanging on the wall. It was permeated with the scent of books.
Naturally, there was no bedroom on this floor either.
Thus, Luna went up to the third floor
This time, she saw a weapons room.
Weapons were hung on the walls and shelves everywhere on the third floor.
Blades, swords, spears, axes, bows.
All kinds of weapons were available
Luna suddenly saw a dagger on a table.
Despite its short length, the dagger had an exceptionally sharp and glinting blade.
She thought to herself, “I’ll be in the same room as Gilmore. It’s hard to say if he has any sexual desires for me. I should take this dagger with me
If Gilmore dared to try anything on her, she would kill him with it immediately.
Thinking of this, Luna hid the dagger in her sleeve.
Then she went to the fourth floor of the villa
When she saw the things on the fourth floor, she couldn’t help but be surprised.
The other floors of the villa were either filled with books or weapons.
But the fourth floor was simple and extremely primitive.
In the room on the wooden floor, there was a mattress on the left, which should be considered a bedroom.
On the right side was a coffee table with some cups and a glass of clear water.
Gilmore sat cross–legged in front of the coffee table and leisurely sipped the coffee.
The room was filled with the faint fragrance of coffee.
The fourth floor had simple decoration, yet it gave Luna a comfortable feeling
The simple decorations here meant that there were no restrictions or complicated obstructions.

Chapter 290
The window was open, and the moonlight streamed in, bathing the entire room in its gentle glow.
It had its own artistic charm.
Gilmore made two cups of coffee and said to Luna, who was still stunned, “Come and have a coffee with me.”
Only then did she come to her senses. She walked over and sat on the ground in front of the coffee table.
However, she stared at the coffee in the cup but hesitated to reach for it, showing a hint of fear.
Gilmore pretended not to see her doubts and picked up a cup of coffee.
Luna’s suspicion completely faded when she saw Gilmore finish his cup.
She only picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee after observing Gilmore.
She didn’t drink the coffee immediately because she was concerned that he might have added something to it.
But since he took a drink from the cup in front of her, she figured that it was safe to do so now.
Gilmore poured himself another cup of coffee.
Then, he slowly tasted it.
Luna finished her cup and put it on the coffee table, only to find that Gilmore did not pour her another cup.
She muttered in her heart, “You’re so stingy that you only give me one cup of coffee!”
However, at this moment, Gilmore seemed to know what she was thinking and said, “If you want more, make it yourself.”
This left Luna wide–eyed with astonishment.
Then, she came to her senses and realized that Gilmore didn’t add anything to the coffee.
And she was indeed a little thirsty.
Therefore, she made herself more coffee.
After drinking a few cups, she said to Gilmore, “Hey, I’m here as a hostage. When will you let me go?”
Gilmore sipped his coffee casually and said, “Perhaps one day, a month, or even a lifetime.”
“You…” Hearing this, Luna pointed angrily at Gilmore. “You scoundrel!”
Gilmore said indifferently, “Scoundrel? Do you know what your father has done to me?”
Luna’s eyes were filled with indignation as she asked, “What has be done?”
Gilmore said, “Your father lost to me in the auction for the Davis Group’s gold mine, so he sent a martialist from the Suarez family to assassinate me on my way back.”
Asassinate Gilmore?
Her father and brother had not told her about this.
When Gilmore saw the puzzled look on Luna’s face, he knew that her father and brother were hiding something from her.
So, he told Luna that after the assassination failed, Kenji vented his anger on Star Gate and sent Tatsuya to take revenge on Star Gate.

Chapter 290
He specifically told Luna that Tatsuya, along with Kazuki and Haruki, had caused significant harm to several martial artists from Star Gate and Blade Gate. Ultimately, Suarez had no choice but to nullify the martial abilities of Tatsuya and his companions.
After hearing those words, a hint of surprise appeared on Luna’s face.
That was because the version she heard from her father was not like this
Her father told her that Gilmore held a grudge against the Suarez family because the Suarez Group competed with Gilmore for the Davis Group’s gold mine.
Afterward, Gilmore summoned the Star Gate master to launch an attack on the Suarez manor, resulting in the annulment of her brother’s and the others‘ martial skills.
However, at this moment, Luna heard another version.
Who on earth was right?
For a moment, she didn’t have a clue.
But she vaguely felt that her father seemed to be hiding something from her.
After saying that, Gilmore looked at Luna and said, “Now I’ve told you the truth.
“Your father tried to kill me again and again. It’s a mercy that I spared him
“You must pay for what he has done now.”
After saying that, Cilmore shifted his gaze from her gorgeous face to her chest, and then down to…
Luna grew wary and questioned Gilmore, “What do you expect in return?”
Gilmore lazily said with a hint of evil charm, “In return? Then I’ll tell you.
“Do you know why I brought you back to Star Gate?”
“Why?” Lama suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
Gilmore looked at her and said, “Didn’t you hear what they said when you came in?”
Suddenly, she remembered that after entering Star Gate, everyone was calling her Gilmore’s sweetheart.
Some even said that she was their leader’s future wife.
Thinking of this, Luna’s face changed, and her beautiful eyes suddenly widened. She looked at Gilmore and said. “You… you
Want me to
be
your
wife?”
Gilmore burst into laughter. “Smart girl!”
“Don’t even think about it!” Luna immediately said resolutely.
“Luna, since you’re here, I’m afraid that it isn’t up to you.
Gilmore looked at her and asked, “Do you know why I’m wearing a mask?”
Lupa also looked at him suspiciously, and thought, “Right, why does he always wear a mask?
“If he was wearing a mask somewhere else, maybe it doesn’t mean much.

“But now that he has returned to his own place, it’s so strange for him to still be wearing a mask.”
Luna asked, “Why?”
“Because I’m very ugly. And I’m the kind of person who is extremely ugly, so I have to wear a mask all day long.”
Gilmore said seriously, “Because I’m so ugly, no woman is willing to marry me. But now, I finally don’t have to worry about not being able to get married.”
When Luna heard this, she felt creeped out and wanted to cry out for help..
She didn’t want to marry an ugly man!
