"Hu Rose, there are so things I must tell you," Brantley Rose began seriously, "Our Rose family does not lack people, nor do we need anyone’s help. But the biggest problem right now is that we don’t know who took it."
"Hasn’t Jayceon Rose returned? Hang him up and beat him; I don’t believe he won’t talk!" The thought of his son’s death reignited Hu Rose’s restrained fury.
"It’s useless," Julius Reed spoke leisurely from the side, "When I encountered Jayceon Rose, he was already being pursued. I’ve asked him about the situation; in fact, he doesn’t know who the person is."
"How is that possible!" Hu Rose shot to his feet, pointing at Julius Reed, "I warn you, if you’re lying to , you’ll die a horrible death!"
"Relax, I’ve already investigated thoroughly and also have my own intelligence. The only question now is what use that object has." Julius Reed leaned forward, speaking sincerely, "You think if soone stole this item, they might not know how to use it? Either there’s a mole in the Rose family or the other party isn’t simple."
"In either case, it’s extrely detrintal to your Rose family. Besides, the item is lost - do you still hope to keep the secret?"
"What’s most important for you right now? Ti! Delay even a minute in recovering it, and your Rose family’s situation will be very passive!"
Julius Reed’s rapid questioning left Hu Rose sowhat bewildered.
Listening beside them, Brantley Rose felt his heart pounding with uncertainty and, having taken advantage of Julius Reed, added fuel to the fire. "Yes, since the other party ca prepared to steal this item, we must be cautious and prudent. Anyway, this secret is hard to keep and there’s nothing worth hiding."
Their words made Hu Rose waver.
Originally, he hadn’t planned to reveal the secret, but listening to them, he found their points indeed reasonable.
Being able to steal this item shows knowledge of its secret.
Seeing the treasure has been lost for several days without any information, he’s equally anxious.
The Rose family indeed has strength, but with no enemy in sight, it’s wasted power without an outlet.
"Family Head, we’ve interrogated; Jayceon Rose truly doesn’t know who took the object and said he was nearly beaten to death."
At this mont, a Rose family mber walked in from the doorway.
The mber approached Hu Rose respectfully, whispering, "The lie detector you requested has been arranged; this fellow indeed hasn’t lied. According to Jayceon Rose, the reason he’s still alive is that the person in front of him drove the perpetrator away."
"Such a thing?" Now, Hu Rose was completely convinced.
Detail-oriented underneath, after returning from seclusion and learning the truth, he promptly arranged the purchase of a lie detector.
Now it’s in use.
Combining Jayceon Rose’s words, it shows the youth before them indeed has capability and knows the whereabouts and adversary of the item.
Thus, collaboration seems to be the only way out.
Only by cooperating can everyone get what they need.
"Alright, since that’s the case, I’ll trust you this once. If you’re lying, prepare to die!" Hu Rose waved his hand, and the Rose family mber in front of him imdiately stepped back.
The hall fell silent, everyone waiting for Hu Rose to speak.
"Inside the Lotus Shadow, there’s a secret. Actually, the secret is simple; inside are texts, fragnted texts! Just by sitting cross-legged before the Golden Lotus, one can experience scenes from inside."
"Those scenes depict peculiar cultivation techniques; by following the ntal techniques within, a martial artist can rapidly advance their skills in a short ti!"
"However, this item has a drawback: it can only be viewed once every thirty years. Yesterday marked another thirty years," Hu Rose laid out everything he knew, but he kept a little in reserve.
The texts have a flaw; after cultivating, they leave a heart demon within.
The Rose family’s two Clan Leaders, because the martial arts Clan Leader needs to be secluded in a cloister built by the Rose family, to resist this heart demon.
If staying outside for a long ti, they’d be consud by the heart demon.
Once a Rose ancestor went mad.
The Rose family’s strongest force, their most secretive guard, are Rose family mbers who’ve cultivated the sa Yellow Path Lotus Shadow as Hu Rose.
These people remain in the cloister long-term, yet their combat strength is astounding!
Once they erge, they can stir up chaos in the martial arts world!
So rarely do they appear.
Moreover, the texts they cultivate are even more sinister.
Extrely difficult to control.
"Can you show a move?" Julius Reed pondered briefly before asking.
"Alright." Hu Rose extended his right hand, suddenly thrusting toward Julius Reed!
Pa!
Julius Reed reacted swiftly, blocking with his palm in front!
This startled Brantley Rose beside him, fearing the two were about to fight.
"Good skills." Hu Rose retracted his fingers, nodding, "You’re stronger than I thought."
"You’re strong too," Julius Reed wasn’t looking particularly happy. "With that settled, I’ll first go lead people to seek the Yellow Path Lotus Shadow, and notify you at the first sign of news."
Saying that, he got up and left.
Watching his retreating figure, Hu Rose deepened his voice, "Go, follow him, keep posted at all tis. Once there’s news of the treasure, I’ll promptly lead people there."
"Yes!"
From behind the hall erged several black-clad individuals.
"This..." Brantley Rose voiced his surprise, "Isn’t this a bit much?"
"Desperate tis," Hu Rose turned and left.
Exiting the Rose family gates, Julius Reed got into a vehicle, driving into the distance.
After several dozen miles, he stopped the car.
Vanishing into the woods.
anwhile, the Rose family mbers tailing him cautiously pursued.
A living person can’t just vanish.
"Strange, did he notice us, abandon the car, and secretly sneak away?"
One Rose family mber scratched his head.
"Impossible, we’re keeping such a distance and our trail is discreet, no one could detect us."
No sooner had the words fallen than Julius Reed appeared behind them.
"Apologies. I’m not human; I’m divine."
Snap!
With a strike, both Rose family mbers were instantly lifeless.
Dusk gradually descended.
Julius Reed approached the Rose family outskirts.
Brantley Rose was waiting for him there.
"I tell you, if Hu Rose finds out, it’ll be my end!" Brantley Rose anxiously led Julius Reed, opening a discreet door at the rear.
"Don’t worry, I won’t treat you badly," Julius Reed patted Brantley Rose’s shoulder, entering the Rose estate with him.
He donned a Rose family servant’s attire, following behind Brantley Rose.
"That’s where they retreat, but I must warn you, it’s very dangerous there and no one has gone," Brantley Rose started to regret.
"Understood." Julius Reed darted into the darkness.
