Chapter 1426: Chapter 1426: Do as Promised

It looks like the Grandmasters must have been ambushing here long before.

Otherwise, it would not have been possible for them to show up around the swimming pool in less than five seconds.

Julius Reed did not speak.

He sat in the chair, silently waiting for the other party to speak.

“Aren’t you afraid?”

Gabriel Young, staring at the Token in her hand, said with a half-smile, “I really didn’t expect you to be from the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance. Moreover, you’re the powerful and towering Inspector.”

“You’re a smart person.” Julius Reed did not directly answer her question, but instead made this meaningful remark.

“Of course I am a smart person.” Gabriel Young tossed aside the blanket on her and took the black coat handed to her by a servant. “From the moment you cured Merrill Caldwell’s Frost Syndrome, I knew you were no ordinary person. But I never imagined that you would be the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance Inspector.”

“Are you from Pendleton?” Julius Reed crossed one leg over the other, resting both hands on the chair, very relaxed.

He completely ignored those Grandmasters around him.

“Correct! The Crown Prince of Martial Saints founded Pendleton, and we are all his subjects.” Gabriel Young also did not hurry to take action, her eyes flickering non-stop, as if she were considering something.

“I’ll give you an opportunity.” Julius Reed stretched out his hand, pointing at Gabriel Young: “A chance to join the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance. Whether the Young Family lives or dies today depends on a single thought from you.”

“Arrogant!”

A Grandmaster holding a long knife snorted coldly: “Your words are too dismissive of us! Just with you? Today you will definitely not walk out of the Young Family alive!”

“I assure you.” Julius Reed stood up, looking at the Grandmaster: “This is the last day of your life.”

“Enough!” Gabriel Young raised her hand, signaling for the Grandmaster not to speak, then stared closely at Julius Reed: “The Alliance Hierarch of Pendleton is on the Golden Avenue, if I deliver you to him, it will definitely be a great achievement.”

Upon hearing this, Julius Reed at first paused, then burst into laughter: “You are not from Pendleton.”

“Trying to deceive me?” Gabriel Young’s face changed slightly, but quickly returned to normal: “Don’t bother struggling in vain. You are caught in a tight net here, and there’s no escape.”

“I said, you are not from Pendleton. Since that’s the case, what intention do you have by pretending to be from Pendleton?” Julius Reed took a step forward, with his hands behind his back, and his aura slowly spreading out.

The death of the Pendleton Alliance Hierarch is top secret!

Gabriel Young kept saying that she was from Pendleton, yet she was unaware of such important news, so it was clear that she was lying.

“I guess there is only one possibility.” Julius Reed said indifferently: “You hold a grudge against Pendleton. Pretending to be from Pendleton is merely to ascertain my stance towards Pendleton. Auntie, you’re heartless.”

Gabriel Young’s eyes narrowed into slits and then she bent over with a light laugh: “You are smart and confident. But I’m a bit curious, how did you know that I am not from Pendleton? Could it be… that you are from Pendleton?”

When the last sentence was uttered, the surrounding Grandmasters tensed up, ready to fight at any moment.

“The Pendleton Alliance Hierarch is dead, killed by me.” Julius Reed casually dropped this statement, stunning everyone present!

“Impossible!”

Gabriel Young’s eyebrows knitted tightly, and her hands involuntarily clenched together: “The Pendleton Alliance Hierarch is protected by four Arhats with golden bodies and many other experts, you alone wouldn’t even be able to see the Alliance Hierarch’s face!”

“Believe it or not, as you wish. But now, it’s time for you to explain.” Julius Reed stretched out his hand, asking for his Token back: “Whether or not we cooperate is up to you. If you don’t want to cooperate, I won’t make it difficult for you. If we do cooperate, please show some sincerity.”

This is Swimming City, after all.

If he were to find Emperor Charlotte Grey’s ancient tomb and investigate the matter of the Crown Prince founding Pendleton many years ago, having Gabriel Young’s help would save a lot of trouble.

Moreover, Julius Reed still had Baylor Davenport in his custody, which would be inconvenient to carry around.

“I’ll trust you this once.” Gabriel Young waved her hand and the surrounding Grandmasters scattered instantly.

“Wait a moment!”

Julius Reed turned his head, looking at the Grandmaster who had just spoken to him with a knife.

“He has followed me for years, his loyalty unwavering.” Gabriel Young walked up to Julius Reed, once again adopting a charming demeanor: “Besides, he also doesn’t know whether you are friend or foe…”

Clink!

Gabriel Young’s words were not even finished!

The Grandmaster unsheathed the long sword at his waist!

And directly decapitated his host.

A tyrant!

His word, as good as his bond!

Thump!

To his death, the Grandmaster failed to understand what had happened.

“How audacious!”

The others stopped in their tracks and drew their weapons!

Even Gabriel Young was taken aback.

“I mean what I say,” Julius Reed turned around, pointing at the circle of Grandmasters and Martial Artists holding weapons: “In three seconds, anyone still with a weapon in hand, I kill!”

“Three!”

“Two!”

Martial Artists exchanged looks and ultimately chose to submit.

“One!”

By the time Julius Reed counted to one, the Martial Artists were unarmed.

“You’re being somewhat excessive,” Gabriel Young said with dissatisfaction in her voice. “This is my house.”

“Stealing the host’s role,” Julius Reed sat back down and crossed his legs again: “Let’s talk about the Martial Saint Crown Prince.”

The existence of Pendleton was enigmatic and mysterious.

With every investigation, he felt a sense that the truth was not being revealed.

Now, Isabella Warm released information that seemed to allude to something for him.

And the ancient tomb of the Azure Emperor was a journey he couldn’t avoid.

The troubles were mounting.

“All of you, leave!” Gabriel Young waved her hand, and the Grandmaster Martial Artists all departed.

Only the two of them were left by the swimming pool.

“As for the incident from years past, those who knew the truth have long passed away. What I know is merely the oral history of the Young Family. After all, that kind of thing wouldn’t leave any trace,” she explained with complexity in her eyes.

She always felt as if she might have miscalculated.

Inviting the wolf into one’s home?

“The one behind urging the second king and the four ministers to seize power was nobody else but the Martial Saint Crown Prince! Yet, to everyone’s astonishment, Emperor Charlotte Grey turned out not to be dead. Instead, he secluded himself within a grand tomb for cultivation,” she added.

At this point, Gabriel Young clarified to Julius Reed: “Which is the very ancient tomb of the Azure Emperor.”

“Another case of a son too impatient to wait for his rightful ascension to power,” Julius Reed shook his head.

This how similar is it to subordinates betraying their own?

“No!” Yet Gabriel Young shook her head disagreeably, speaking gravely: “The goal of the Martial Saint Crown Prince wasn’t imperial power! His entire life was devoted to overthrowing various tyrannies and dictatorships, establishing organizations to limit power. His father, Emperor Charlotte Grey, was the first tyrant overthrown by the Martial Saint Crown Prince!”

“Is this man sick?” Julius Reed was truly surprised to learn that there were such people in the world.

“The very foundation of Pendleton was to overthrow every kind of tyranny! As the strongest organization in the world, the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance is their prime target. Even within Pendleton, the Martial Saint Crown Prince established several managers to limit his own power! The authorities of these managers were vast, and along with the Seven Veins, they kept the Alliance Hierarch tightly controlled.”

With a helpless smile, Gabriel Young said: “What the Martial Saint Crown Prince envisioned was that all subsequent Alliance Hierarchs, under the constraints of the Seven Veins and managers, had to aim at overthrowing tyranny. However, he didn’t anticipate that after tasting the sweet fruits of the tyranny they once enjoyed, the Dragon Slayers have now quietly become the very dragons they sought to slay.”
