Chapter 402 Are You the Boss of Me?
With the current situation, there was no way for Shadow Gate or the TMAA to win against Caspian if they were to fight him alone.
They had to join forces. Nixon did want to kill Caspian, but his mission this time was to bring the Eldorian Scroll fragment back.
If he failed to obtain the Eldorian Scroll fragment, he would not be able to explain himself to
Acc.
“Let’s just destroy Caspian first. As for the Eldorian Scroll fragment, we could just have a fair competition, right?” Gilbert laughed and said.
He would never hand over the Eldorian Scroll fragment unconditionally.
The reason Shadow Gate traveled here this time was also to search for the Eldorian Scroll fragment.
It was common knowledge that an innate grandmaster would need to overcome certain challenges to advance to the next level.
The only way for them to advance and become a supreme grandmaster was to obtain the Eldorian Scroll fragment and decrypt the code.
“You have a deal!” Nixon said as he nodded.
“As long as we join forces, Caspian will be defeated!” Gilbert said excitedly.
“Let’s not celebrate it too early. Caspian’s way stronger than you think. Only the chairman’s powers are around the same level as his. If we could get the Morrison family from Dhord City to join forces with us, our chances of winning would be even higher!” Nixon replied.
Gilbert looked visibly upset after hearing what Nixon had said.
Nixon noticed the change in expression and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“To be honest, I went to visit Ms. Morrison before I came here. She refuses to join forces!” Gilbert said, feeling frustrated.
Nixon was stunned.
Gilbert was from Shadow Gate. If it were anybody else, they would have already accepted his
offer.
How arrogant of the Morrison family!
“Forget it. Since the Morrisons refuse to join us, we’ll attack them after we get rid of Caspian! “Gilbert said.

“It’s getting late. Let’s just carry on as discussed. I’ll make a move first,” Gilbert said before leaving the tent.
After Gilbert had left, Nixon could not help but let out a laugh.
Shadow Gate,
Gilbert of the mighty brutally rejected came off as something surprising
to Nixon.
Gilbert heard Nixon’s laughter but did not look back. He disappeared into the night.
After Gilbert left, another figure slid into the tent.
“Greetings, Mr. Xenos!” Fabian said.
“Any updates on the task I assigned you, Fabian?” Nixon asked.
“Mr. Xenos, forgive my incompetence! Xandros, that old man, refuses to cooperate with us!” Fabian said, feeling somewhat disconcerted
Nixon was not the least bit surprised.
He had seen this coming.
“The Stewart family is way more complicated than we imagined!” Nixon murmured.
“Mr. Xenos, should we just kill Xandros? Or launch a massacre on the Stewart family estate?” Fabian asked.
Nixon was momentarily stunned. Fabian was even more vicious than him!
He would even harm his own family. That said, Fabian was not biologically related to them.
“There’s no need for that. Xandros is already old. He won’t be able to affect us in any way. We should place all our attention on obtaining the Eldorian Scroll fragment.
“We shall accomplish this important task first,” Nixon said.
“Yes, sir!” Fabian answered. Now that Nixon had given his orders, Fabian did not dare to
retort.
The Stewart family estate was quiet for the next two days.
Nonetheless, the tremors were still occurring on Mount Evercloud.
Everybody was anticipating the appearance of the Eldorian Scroll fragment.
