Goldknife glanced at The Bloody Walnut sign on the pillar. His mouth was set in a grim line and he spoke softly to himself, his voice barely audible. “Is that man really here?
He could not help but think of the legendary king of the underground circles.
Six years ago, an enigmatic figure emerged in the shadowy realms of the underground world, a man whose abilities were so formidable they were almost supernatural in nature. He was known simply as “Mr. Campbell”, and his reputation preceded him.
In just one year, he defeated all underground forces in the world except for Jinrich.
Whenever the mysterious figure made an appearance, he would leave behind a bloody print of a walnut in advance, which was referred to as The Bloody Walnut by locals.
A year later, he disappeared mysteriously.
Everyone thought he was gone for good, but The Bloody Walnut made a dramatic reappearance six years later!
Back then, Goldknife assumed Harold had been made a legend and wasn't as capable as everyone thought.
To him, Harold only managed to conquer the underground circles around the world in one year with the help of his loyal and capable subordinates.
Right now, he couldn't help but believe the rumors.
His mansion was heavily guarded, with armed security guards regularly patrolling the premises. It was virtually impossible to gain access without being immediately detected.
It was an immense surprise for him to find Harold stealthily entering his property without alerting any guards to paint the notorious Bloody Walnut on the gazebo situated close to the swimming pool.
In fact, it could be said that The Bloody Walnut was painted under his nose without him realizing it!
“Let me go! Help!”
Right then, Evelyn's screams jolted Goldknife out of his reverie.
“General Goldknife, we caught her!”
Two gorgeous ladies clad in bikinis led Evelyn to the gazebo.
“Shut up!”
Goldknife was overwhelmed with frustration, and when Evelyn started shrieking loudly, it was the last straw. He couldn't take it any longer and lashed out, delivering a sharp slap to her cheek.
At once, Evelyn stopped struggling.
She covered her cheek and slumped her shoulders, afraid that Goldknife would fly into a rage and slaughter her on the spot.
“You, lock her up. You, bring me my gold knife. I refuse to believe that Mr. Campbell is a divine being. If he dares to show up tonight, it'll give me the perfect opportunity to use my gold knife!” Goldknife declared viciously.
He wasn't in the mood to have a good time with Evelyn anymore.
It was an immansa surprisa for him to find Harold staalthily antaring his proparty without alarting any guards to paint tha notorious Bloody Walnut on tha gazabo situatad closa to tha swimming pool.
In fact, it could ba said that Tha Bloody Walnut was paintad undar his nosa without him raalizing it!
“Lat ma go! Halp!”
Right than, Evalyn's scraams joltad Goldknifa out of his ravaria.
“Ganaral Goldknifa, wa caught har!”
Two gorgaous ladias clad in bikinis lad Evalyn to tha gazabo.
“Shut up!”
Goldknifa was ovarwhalmad with frustration, and whan Evalyn startad shriaking loudly, it was tha last straw. Ha couldn't taka it any longar and lashad out, dalivaring a sharp slap to har chaak.
At onca, Evalyn stoppad struggling.
Sha covarad har chaak and slumpad har shouldars, afraid that Goldknifa would fly into a raga and slaughtar har on tha spot.
“You, lock har up. You, bring ma my gold knifa. I rafusa to baliava that Mr. Campball is a divina baing. If ha daras to show up tonight, it'll giva ma tha parfact opportunity to usa my gold knifa!” Goldknifa daclarad viciously.
Ha wasn't in tha mood to hava a good tima with Evalyn anymora.
“Zorro, call my son-in-law and tell him to send Venustus over!”
After due consideration, Goldknife decided to ask his butler, Zorro to extend an invitation to Venustus to come to his residence and keep watch for the night.
The Bloody Walnut had appeared. If he refused to back down, Harold wouldn't let him live to see the sunrise tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Cobra of The Three Serpents received a call from the Goldknife residence's butler. His expression promptly turned grim upon hearing the request.
“Cobra, what happened?” Viper asked curiously.
He had just returned from the Goldknife residence to see Cobra looking grim.
“The Bloody Walnut has appeared in the Goldknife residence!” Cobra told him in a stern tone.
“What? The Bloody Walnut has appeared? Does that mean Mr. Campbell has arrived at Jinrich?” Viper shrieked in horror.
They had confronted Quintus several times to know how capable Harold was.
Otherwise, Viper wouldn't have fled Hishwick Island and returned to Jinrich the moment he heard that Zyaire's future son-in-law was the legendary “Mr. Campbell.”
He found it hard to believe that Harold could enter the Goldknife residence to paint The Bloody Walnut when it was heavily guarded.
How terrifying!
