Chapter 1042: Chapter 1044

Chapter 1044 A Technology Company Gerald looked Shadow up and down and said with a smile, “Shadow, the Herman family and the Four Ancient Families have such a deep feud. The Four Ancient Families were wiped out by us, but you didn’t come out to kill the Four Ancient Families fiercely. Instead, you cowered.”

“With the strong intelligence network of the Rho Guild, it shouldn’t be that you don’t know it well, right? Even the spies you planted in the Four Ancient Families didn’t care about it,” Gerald said with a smile.

Rho Guild was an organization of assassins, and intelligence was their primary ingredient. Their network of intelligence was absolutely terrifying.

This was also what Night Watch needed to do in the future. Now that the City of Phoenix was in his hands, Gerald wanted to build a relatively fair city. Sooner or later, Gerald had to find a way to get rid of an assassin organization like Rho Guild.

Shadow only showed a pair of eyes, unable to see his expression. He rolled his eyes slightly and said, “Gerald, we’re all on the same side.”

“What are you doing here?” Gerald asked with a smile.

“This is the Herman family’s territory. I’m here to pick something up,” Shadow said.

“Did you get it?” Gerald asked.

Shadow frowned slightly and said, “Gerald, we are all partners. What do you mean by that? I’m just going back to the Herman family’s land to get something!”

“No!” Gerald shook his head and said, “Cooperation was only before that. Now that the Four Ancient Families have been taken down by me, Foliage Manor does not belong to the Herman family. Now it’s my place. You coming to my place to get something is equivalent to stealing!”

Shadow was stunned.

“I’m just kidding!” Gerald waved his hand with a smile.

“Can I leave now?” Shadow asked hurriedly.

“It seems like you’ve gotten what you wanted,” Gerald said with a smile. “Hand it over, and you can leave now.”

Shadow said, “I haven’t gotten anything yet!”

“Why would you choose to leave if you didn’t get what you wanted?” Gerald chuckled. “I’ve been working with you guys a few times, and I’m happy. I don’t want to ruin our relationship, but the things in Foliage Manor are of great use to us. You have to hand them over.”

Seeing Gerald’s aggressiveness, Shadow narrowed his eyes slightly and said, “Since you’ve said so, then I’ll be frank with you, Gerald. You must have heard of the Nether Palace, whose power overwhelms the entire Havotune and is even able to confront the Eight Forces head-on!”

Gerald raised his eyebrows. “Yes, I’ve heard of it.”

“The Herman family is the direct line of Nether Palace. The City of Phoenix used to be the headquarters of Nether Palace’s Rho Guild! If you’re trying to push me, you have to consider the consequences!” Shadow sald.

Gerald was left silent. He smiled and nodded. “I know you’re from Nether Palace, but you still have to hand over the things.”

Shadow’s expression changed slightly.

He did not expect Gerald to be so firm with his words.

He rolled his eyes and gritted his teeth, “What if I don’t hand it over?”

“Then you can’t leave here!” Gerald said with a smile, “We can settle the score the last time we worked together against Conor Guerrero, and you ran away early.”

Shadow was stunned.

After a while, he slowly exhaled, then fumbled behind him and took out a drawing from behind..

He put it on the ground, and said, “Gerald, since you’ve made this decision, I hope you can consider the consequences. You’re right. You’ve worked well with us before, but no one can say anything about the future. You can take this as my advice to you. No matter what, we’re at least acquaintances now!”

Gerald pouted at Hector, who brought the scroll over. After a while, he looked at Shadow and said, “There should still be three keys!”

Shadow was uncertain for a while, then he took out three metal keys from his pocket and handed them to Hector!

“Got it!” Hector said.

Gerald could not see Shadow’s expression, but there was a hint of reluctance in his eyes. He looked at Gerald and gritted his teeth. “Gerald, I know you’re Dragon Bone, and you have Alcoholic behind you, but you really can’t afford to mess with Nether Palace.”

“You don’t have to worry about that!” Gerald said with a smile, “Since you gave me a piece of advice, I also want to give you a piece of advice. Now that I have won the City of Phoenix, and some systems are starting to be implemented in the City of Phoenix, go back and tell Cohn not to have any assassination missions in the City of Phoenix in the future. No killing is allowed in the City of Phoenix at will, and even a casual fight between us will be punished by law!”

Shadow looked at Gerald and hesitated.

“You may leave now,” Gerald said with a smile.

Shadow nodded. Gritting his teeth, he turned into a shadow and disappeared quickly.

Gerald, on the other hand, looked at Hector’s hand and asked, “Is this what the Ingram family holds?”

“Yes.” Charles nodded and said, “This thing is in a secret compartment in the basement. That place is very inconspicuous. Of the Four Ancient Families, only the Ingram family knows it. It’s also the first time I followed them a to the Follage Manor on duty and accidentally heard it.”

“Then I was not familiar with Foliage Manor at that time and accidentally broke into the basement. At that time, I saw Arvin and Nathanial discussing this matter here.” Hector sighed, “At that time, I was young and famous in the Four Ancient Families, so after they found out about me, they didn’t kill me to avoid the suspicions of the other three families. Instead, they put me in jail, and my people were all killed by the Ingram family in those years.”

He told them the truth word for word!

“What’s this?” Gerald asked.

“A key to the door of Promise Tech Group! And a construction map of the interior of the company.” Hector said.

“What is that?” Gerald was speechless. “You said this thing can help me break through to the eternal level of Flame Decay? It’s just a company!”

Hector, however, smiled faintly and said, “Just a company?”

“If you tell Anabel that the Promise Tech Group is just a company, I guess they will laugh at you to death!” After the Four Ancient Families perished, Hector seemed to have relaxed a lot and played a joke on Gerald.

“What do you mean?” Gerald asked in surprise.

“This company has made a huge contribution to the development history of the Havotune. They have passed down and gone through three epochs. Now most of the technological civilization of Havotune is derived from their theoretical knowledge!” Hector said, “It is not an exaggeration to say that they have driven the entire civilization of Havotune forward. Including the current Pioneers were developed by them.”

Gerald took a deep breath and asked in surprise, “Why is the company so powerful? How could it not be one of the Eight Forces?”

“They disappeared during the handover of the fourth and fifth epochs, which was the Age of Chaos.” Hector sighed and said, “Back in that time, they were transcendent. The goal of all people with craftsman attributes was to enter this company.”

“H-How did it disappear?” Gerald was dumbfounded.

“It seems that they did some research and made a problem, and then there was a big explosion, blowing a piece of the original board on the main map directly out of the board and floating to the ocean, forming an island that is actually on the sea now, but because of that explosion, the island was torn apart, and there is not much place in it that is suitable to live.” Hector sighed.
