Chapter 1409: Chapter 1409 Aunt Siyao

“Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance… truly domineering!”

Gazing at the lion that turned to dust at the doorway, shock filled the eyes of the two guards responsible for securing the entrance.

This lion was no ordinary beast; it was acquired by Lord Ghost Seven from a merchant.

According to this merchant, both lions originally stood at The North Sea, located in front of the palace gates at Ivory Bay of the North Sea Alliance.

Latterly, the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance annihilated The North Sea state, and Ivory Bay was plundered thoroughly.

Only these two lions, being excessively heavy and exceptionally sturdy, were left untouched and not taken away.

In Cloud Pavilion, though filled with many experts, the vast majority are of noble identity.

Few truly undergo assessment through martial force.

Among them, some are powerful.

But those who pass are fewer than one in ten.

“What happened?” After the loud noise, Ambrose Young rubbed his ears and calmed himself before approaching the two Martial Artists, anxiously asking: “The token he showed you, what was it?”

Cloud Pavilion, unlike other places, has a high threshold for entry.

“Sorry.” The Martial Artist slightly bowed, speaking firmly: “Lord Ghost Seven set the rule, no leaking of any Cloud Pavilion guest identities.”

Experts often dislike their identities being revealed.

Especially those who are masked.

The higher one’s standing, the more people will watch them.

Many distinguished and capable individuals prefer to cover themselves thoroughly when visiting Cloud Pavilion.

For them, privacy is the most critical issue.

If privacy is revealed, Cloud Pavilion’s reputation will suffer a devastating impact.

“You…” Ambrose Young, suppressing the raging anger in his heart, could only shake his arm fiercely, resigning himself: “Fine then!”

Such matters, they cannot be forced.

He is not a person who acts recklessly, understanding when to advance or retreat.

“Miss Caldwell, we…” Ambrose Young turned around, about to call Merrill Caldwell, but found she was already gone.

Vanished along with her was Ava.

“Where are they!”

He frowned deeply.

“Followed that masked person inside.” The Young Family bodyguard responded.

Slap!

Ambrose Young swung his hand across, furiously scolding: “Useless trash!”

“Sorry, young master!”

The bodyguard bowed his head, immediately apologizing.

“I was a bit agitated,” Five seconds later, Ambrose Young took a deep breath, his right hand on the bodyguard’s shoulder, his tone sincere: “This isn’t your fault. When we return, I’ll give you a month off, the Young family will pay for it, take your wife and kids for a holiday. Come back and give your best.”

“Thank you, young master!” The bodyguard looked up, tearfully grateful: “I am willing to follow you to the death, young master!”

After saying this, he knelt down on the ground.

“Hey, we are all brothers.” Ambrose Young helped him up, patted his back: “Let’s go, Miss Caldwell isn’t familiar with this place, don’t run into trouble.”

“Yes!”

Though the bodyguard had been hit, his eyes were filled with excitement!

Inside Cloud Pavilion, Julius Reed passed through the corridor and arrived in a spacious hall.

This place somewhat resembled an indoor basketball court, with hardwood flooring and the ceiling also using tempered glass.

Yet, the area it occupied was much larger than a gymnasium.

Many masters were seated on the ground, in front of them placed neon signs.

On the signs, listed were items they needed and items for sale.

Further inside, there are several private boxes.

Bouncers stand at the door of the boxes, cautiously scanning the surroundings.

To the far right, there is a crystal exhibition hall.

Inside are many rare and precious treasures displayed.

“Are you very familiar with them?” Julius Reed asked nonchalantly.

“Just acquaintances.” Merrill Caldwell stood next to him, cautiously moving closer: “Large families, after all, are interconnected. The Young Family holds a high position in Swimming City, and they have always had good relations with my Boulevard Caldwell family. But don’t get me wrong, I and Brother Ambrose don’t have any…”

At this point, she too realized something was off.

Why assume misunderstandings?

Misunderstand what?

“Ambrose Young is decent enough. He knows how to disguise and when to advance or retreat. Capable of handling minor matters, but with that breadth of heart, difficult to handle major ones.” Julius Reed, with his hands clasped behind his back, closely observed the situation inside Cloud Pavilion while making idle conversation with Merrill Caldwell.

He had seen many young lords from large families, spoiled from childhood, acting ostentatiously, not knowing when to advance or retreat.

Compared to those people, Ambrose Young was significantly better.

“People from large families, which one of them isn’t insincere?” Merrill Caldwell pursed her lips, muttering to herself: “Everyone wears a mask. You never know if they smile at you with thoughts of killing you in their hearts.”

“You,” Julius Reed turned his head, smiling as he spoke: “You are quite sincere.”

Another child tired of the power struggles.

But in a prominent family, what choice do they have?

Caught in the torrent, no one can remain unaffected.

“You… think I’m sincere?” Merrill Caldwell was surprised, then looked at him with happiness burgeoning in her eyes: “You don’t find me annoying?”

“What status does the Young family hold? It looks like everyone in Ghost Market is afraid of him.” Julius Reed initially wanted to say bothersome, but couldn’t bear to see the young girl’s heartbreak, so he changed the topic.

“The Young family is quite formidable in Swimming City,” Merrill Caldwell patiently explained: “Ambrose Young lost his father when he was young, but Aunt Gabriel, a single woman, managed to withstand various pressures and support the Young family until Ambrose reached adulthood. Now Ambrose is the true head of the Young Family, and Aunt Gabriel spends all day dancing in the square.”

“Aunt Gabriel? Ambrose Young’s mother?”

Julius Reed was stunned, hurriedly asking, “What’s her last name?”

“Also Young, named Gabriel Young.” Merrill Caldwell curiously looked at him: “What’s wrong?”

“No… nothing…” Julius Reed recalled the business card in his pocket.

Also named Gabriel Young, also loves dancing in the square, the same age!

There couldn’t possibly be such a coincidence in the world, right?

“West Tower brother, I need to take a call.” Suddenly, Merrill Caldwell pulled out her phone from her sleeve, answered it with a bubbly voice: “Aunt Gabriel, I’m with Brother Ambrose now.”

“Yes, don’t worry. We are at Cloud Pavilion, I’ll come to keep you company later.”

After ending the call, she looked anything but happy.

“Do you think I’m very insincere?”

Merrill Caldwell looked up, somewhat distressed: “Aunt Gabriel has always wanted to set me up with Brother Ambrose, although she doesn’t care about these things, it seems Brother Ambrose has some reservations about my Caldwell identity…”

At this point, she grew even sadder.

“It’s okay, everyone has many faces. I’m glad that you can show me the most real side of yourself.” Julius Reed asked softly: “Can I see the phone number of Gabriel Young? It might be useful in the future.”

“Miss, this is a family secret, you can’t!” Ava, who hadn’t spoken the entire time, spoke up for the first time to interject.

She stood between the two, glaring at Julius Reed with anger: “I admit, you’re very skilled, and I was blind before. But I hope you can be straightforward and not look for shortcuts!”

“Oh? Are you talking to me?” The cold light in Julius Reed’s hand flashed, as the longsword was immediately positioned against Ava’s neck: “There’s nothing that can stop me from doing what I need to do.”

“Ava!” Merrill Caldwell quickly handed over her phone: “West Tower brother, don’t argue with her.”

Swish!

Julius Reed sheathed his sword.

When he saw the series of numbers on the screen, he was stunned.
