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.”
