Chapter 488 Maneuvering Needles With Energy
Jonathan furrowed his brows, recalling the information he had collected about the respectable family. “Are you saying the respectable family is behind the Gomez family’s bounty on my head?”
“That’s right.” Philip could not help but heave a sigh as he recalled.
“Six years ago, Lachlan had occupied Lumonburg and claimed himself the king. Then, the properties of the Gomez family were deeply affected.
That year, I gave up Lumonburg and brought my family back to our hometown. However, when we were back in our hometown residence, an elder was staying in our place.
How could we stand our residence being occupied by someone else? So, we had a conflict with them. However, a child who worked with the elder had beat everyone up in the Gomez family.”
He paused momentarily, then continued, “Just as they were going to take our lives, the elder stopped them and told us that Quinton and I have the talent for cultivation and forced us into serving them.
Then, Quinton and I started cultivating for about a year and a half. Only after Hayes had resolved the chaos in Lumonburg were we able to return to Lumonburg and work for them.”
Even though Philip briefly explained what had happened, it filled up Hayes’ missing information and completed the timeline of the disappearance of the Gomez family like fitting a missing puzzle piece.
It was then that Jonathan finally understood what Quinton said about him being locked up in the basement to cultivate.
“Even though I don’t have much knowledge about respectable families. I’ve heard the saying that one must obey the respectable family,” Jonathan said.
He then looked at Philip and continued, “Technically, what you said did not expose any information about the respectable family. But, if they blame you for this, the Gomez family will be destroyed.”
Philip chuckled as he heard Jonathan’s words, “If I don’t tell you about this now, I might not have the chance anymore.
Mr. Goldstein, since you’re able to track us down on the Dark Web, the possibility of us surviving is slim. Even though the Gomez family will be destroyed, I want to let you know who is the mastermind behind this.”
Despite the rapid growth of the Gomez family, they were the only ones who knew about the pain they’d endured to achieve success.
Just like what Jonathan said, both families had no beef against each other. The Gomez family wouldn’t have gone against Jonathan if they hadn’t been forced to do so.
“So… you’re telling me about this, so I’ll spare the Gomez family?” Jonathan smiled and asked.
“Then will you spare the Gomez family?”
“No.”
“I’ve guessed so.” Philip rolled his sleeves up, then continued, “Great, I won’t give up on getting revenge for Quinton either. It looks like only one of us will make it out alive today.”
“You’re right. We chatted for long enough. It’s time to get down to the business.”
As Jonathan was saying that, he turned to leave the gazebo and stood on the grass.
While Philip followed behind him and stood opposite Jonathan with a smile.
“I’ve always imagined that I will be able to leave the game one day. What a shame.”
With that, Philip raised his hands in front of his chest and chuckled.
“Mr. Goldstein, this is the Fatal Palm. It’s an unpredictable technique that can aim at your weakness. Be careful.”
With that, Philip rushed toward Jonathan’s chest like a shadow at an unbelievable speed.
“He’s so fast!”
Xiara stood up, and her eyes widened in shock.
At Xiara’s first sight of meeting Philip, she knew he was not just an ordinary person. However, she did not expect that he would have such incredible power.
When Xiara was immersed in her thoughts, Jonathan and Philip were in an intense fight against each other.
Bang!
A shock wave exploded, and Jonathan grabbed Philip’s wrist tightly with his right hand.
“You’re much stronger than your grandson. But there’s no way you could defeat me with your skill,” Jonathan said calmly.
