Chapter 425: Chapter 398: Settling Today’s Account Later (1 more)

The old entrance to Dark City.

Jade Hawthorne briskly leads a group of people over.

The middle-aged man waiting there gives Jade Hawthorne a slight nod, "Miss Hawthorne."

"Uncle Gerard, you said earlier that you found a solution," Jade Hawthorne says with a sense of urgency.

Gerard points towards the old entrance’s traces, "Since the last message from them reporting that someone opened this Golden Gate, we indeed discovered traces of the gate being opened. Look at this place, it wasn’t forcibly opened, but genuinely opened."

Jade Hawthorne’s spirit lifts, "So someone has indeed opened it?"

"This person who emerged in Sheffield City could very likely be from the city itself."

"Could it be a hidden ancient martial artist?" Only an old fellow who lived several centuries would know how to open this door, after all.

Gerard replies, "That’s a possibility."

"Since someone has opened it, then we must find this person."

"Miss Hawthorne, those who can open the Golden Gate are ancient martial artists with exceptional cultivation..." Only these types of ancient martial artists can live more than three hundred years.

"Perhaps we don’t lack the record of how to open it. As long as we know how, even an ordinary person could open it. There’s no need for a top ancient warrior. Therefore, the person who opened the Golden Gate could possibly be a descendant of a certain family."

Before arriving, Jade had already consulted numerous books and indeed found the method of opening it.

Gerard warns again, "The route of blood sacrifices we found might have been made up by others. Furthermore, the book records the method of several top experts injecting power to open it. People tried this a hundred years ago, but all failed. Miss Hawthorne, we should always prepare for the worst. Perhaps, there is no need for us to open the Golden Gate."

Their visit to Sheffield City is to win the loyalty of the great families here.

Not specifically to open the Golden Gate.

But Jade Hawthorne is greedy; she wants to gain more and ensure a stable position for the Hawthorne family.

It’s not easy for a great family, especially an ancient family, to survive.

"Since we’ve found the way to open it, we must give it a try. Otherwise, I won’t be able to live it down."

Jade Hawthorne never easily gives up any opportunity.

This opportunity brings enormous risks.

Staring at the gate before her eyes, Jade says, "Contact the witches in Western Europe."

Gerard frowns, "Miss Hawthorne, the Slaughter Squad..."

"Does Len Hawthorne still want to eliminate the Hawthorne family? I think those in the Land of the Prophet would be very willing to help us." Jade Hawthorne sneers, "Moreover, we’re only making video contact, which doesn’t infringe on any immigration rules."

Upon hearing this, Gerard also thinks it makes sense.

Chloe Stephens stands outside.

Looking at the well-trodden path she has in front of her, she feels a little strange in her heart.

Long ago, this place was bustling with people.

Now, it’s just a wasteland.

Jade Hawthorne emerges from within.

Seeing Chloe standing on the roadside she is surprised.

Her face falling cold, she steps out of the path and stands, looking down upon Chloe, "I suggest you steer clear of Len Hawthorne. Otherwise, you could be the next to die."

"Thanks for your concern."

Jade, about to leave after saying this, suddenly stops and turns to face Chloe. Her gaze fixed on her, she says, "You seem quite confident."

"Was the poison in the Stephens mansion deployed by you?" Chloe asks, bringing up the matter of the poisoning.

Jade Hawthorne lifts the corner of her mouth, her laughter carrying a few traces of ruthless sarcasm, "What do you think?"

"You should be thankful that no one in the Stephens family was affected."

"So are you here to warn me now? Little girl, if you can’t handle the consequences, don’t stick your neck out. Out of all the people in your family, only you were sent to follow us?" The derision in Jade Hawthorne’s eyes is evident.

Chloe, hands in her pockets and a calm look in her eyes, glances at her, "We’ll settle today’s bill later."

Dropping those words, Chloe walks up to a bus that has pulled into the stop.

Jade Hawthorne laughs in frustration at Chloe’s attitude. "Relying on Len Hawthorne’s protection, you dare to be so insolent in front of me."

*

Just got off the bus.

There was someone blocking Chloe Stephens’ way at the bus stop.

"Chloe!"

Albert Webb had a clean, radiant smile, as ever.

Chloe glanced at him and walked away.

Albert quickly followed: "I have just come from my Uncle’s place, are you going there?"

"Hmm."

Chloe continued walking forward.

Seeing Albert stop a beautiful girl, the few mates that were with him couldn’t help but curiously follow. One boy draped his arm over Albert’s shoulder: "Albert, who is this? She’s so pretty!"

Albert gave a shake of his hand, bouncing the basketball in his hand against the boy and said: "I won’t be coming to the court with you guys this time, I have something else on."

With a wave of his hand, he jogged to keep up with Chloe.

"Could she be a relative of Albert’s?"

"Never seen her before, probably not."

"The Webb Family is a wealthy one in Sheffield City, there are so many people in a family, who knows if she is part of it? However, seeing how proactive he is, could he be pursuing her? What about Sabrina Summers?"

"Sabrina Summers is just being self-conscious."

"Albert is from a good family background, is good looking, and has many girls chasing after him. What’s so special about Sabrina Summers?"

"After all, she’s the talented girl from Third Middle School, she does have some capital." This was said with a hint of irony.

*

"This holiday, I’m in Sheffield City," Albert said with a smile as he followed her. "For the last half term, I’ll be going back to Third Middle School."

"Hmm."

"Chloe, how are you getting on at First Middle School? You’ve become accustomed to Sheffield City, right? I originally wanted to transfer to First Middle School, but due to some unforeseen circumstances, I had to return to my original school. But the two schools aren’t far apart; we can frequently meet up."

Albert walked alongside Chloe, happily revealing the news to her about his return.

Chloe questioned: "Has there been any contact between the Webb Family and the Synder Family?"

Albert was taken aback, he replied: "Indeed my mother has been in frequent contact with the Synder Family recently, they’re even planning to send someone into Herta Kingdom."

Chloe nodded, "They’ve been making moves undercover, and now they are coming out in the open, which makes sense."

An ordinary person can openly be sent in.

If they have witchcraft power and superpowers, they would surely be intercepted by the Slaughter Squad first.

Albert looked at Chloe strangely, "Chloe, do you have some kind of grudge against the Synder Family?"

"Indeed, I don’t like them."

Upon hearing this, Albert felt rather gloomy.

Chloe didn’t like the Synder Family, but here his family was, maintaining a close relationship with them.

Because of Madison Webb, his family was living on tenterhooks.

Seeing Chloe, Old Lynch glanced around outside a few times, confirming no one followed up before withdrawing his attention.

"Uncle."

Old Lynch frowned: "Albert, didn’t you just leave? Why did you come back?"

Albert answered awkwardly: "I didn’t find it fun outside, so I came back to keep you company."

"I have something to talk to the little girl about, you can watch over here," Old Lynch walked to the back.

Chloe followed in.

Only when the door was slightly closed did Old Lynch speak: "I know about everything that happened to your family even though the border town didn’t tell me. The Hawthorne Family has come to us and threatened us to cooperate. Originally, this thing has nothing to do with you, but since it also involves the Stephens Family, I called you over to discuss."

"They have poisoned the Stephens Family."

"What!" Old Lynch was shocked, "They are acting so quickly! What are they trying to do?"
