Chapter 40
Meanwhile, at the Delight Coffeehouse in Brookspring
In the special private room on the top floor, two men in their sixties or seventies were seated.
Although their faces appeared aged, their postures were upright, and their eyes gleamed with vitality, exuding a subtle air of authority.
It made ordinary people hesitate to meet their
gaze.
It was evident that these two elderly men were warriors.
As for these two old men, they were the current heads of the Holman family and the Dawson family in Brookspring
The one with a slightly more imposing presence was Zachary Holman, the head of the Holman family in Brookspring The other, Caius Dawson, was the head of the Dawson family.
Caius lightly swirled his cup and spoke in a low voice to Zachary
“Zachary, did you also receive an anonymous call?*
Zachary nodded slowly.
He said, “The anonymous call informed me of the news about the Harper family’s destruction. I didn’t believe it at first, but it turns out to be true.”
Caius also nodded.
“When I was asked to meet here, I thought it was a scam call. I never expected that something really happened to the Harper family”
Then, Caius continued, “Zachary, who do you think could have made this call?”
Zachary furrowed his brows and shook his head.
“No need to rush. We’ll find out soon.”
As Zachary finished speaking, the door to the private room opened from the outside.
Both Zachary and Caius looked toward the entrance.
A man wearing a black peaked cap, a black mask on his face, and a black trench coat walked in from outside.
Notably, his right hand remained hidden in the pocket of his coat.
Seeing this man’s attire, both Zachary and Caius felt a sense of vigilance.
However, neither of them sensed any warrior aura from him, so they refrained from taking action.
The man in the black trench coat reached the round table and respectfully greeted the two.
“Mr. Holman, Mr. Dawson, greetings.
“I am Jackson from the Taylor family. It’s a pleasure to meet you both.”
He then removed his peaked cap and mask, bowing deeply to Zachary and Caius.
Seeing Jackson, both Zachary and Caius showed a hint of surprise in their eyes.
They exchanged a glance, and Caius spoke to Jackson.
“What are you doing here?”
The tone of his voice was not good. It even carried a hint of coldness.
After all, the relationship between the Taylor family and their families was not good.
Especially during the incident of wiping out the Clifford family, they approached the Taylor family together to seek help. but they received a resolute refusal!
However, the one who rejected them back then was certainly not the younger generation like Jackson, but rather the old master of the Taylor family, Brooke!
Jackson paid no mind to Caius’s tone.
He continued, “I assume you’ve already heard about the Harper family’s annihilation, sirs?”
The two exchanged glances again, and Zachary spoke
“If you have something to say, it’s best to do so quickly. We don’t have much time.”

kson confiiied, “May I ask if you know who was responsible for the Harper family’s destruction?”
Looking at Jackson, Caius became slightly impatient.
He said, “It was a person claiming to be Gavin of the Clifford family. This kid used the name of a dead man to commit a crime and to avoid exposing his true identity.”
To avoid exposing his true identity?
Upon hearing Caius’s words, Jackson’s eyes revealed a hint of disdain.
“Why are you smiling?” Seeing Jackson’s smile, Caius felt as if he were being mocked, and his tone turned cold.
Without hesitation, Jackson said, “That person has no worries about exposing his identity because that person is Gavin
himself.”
“What?”
Upon hearing Jackson’s words, both Zachary and Caius simultaneously exclaimed.
The two of them looked at Jackson’s determined gaze and fell into contemplation.
Caius immediately spoke up, “Impossible! Didn’t Gavin perish together with the Thirty-Power Allied Forces when he was besieged at Sunspire ten years ago?”
On the other side, Zachary’s voice sounded.
“Even if Gavin didn’t die, it’s been ten years. He didn’t show out for so long, so why would he return to Brookspring now? His entire Clifford family has been wiped out. Is he coming back to meet his death?”
“Meet his death?” Upon hearing Zachary’s words, Jackson’s eyes once again revealed the same smile as before.
He said, “Do you not know that the Harper family was wiped out by him alone? Every member of the Harper family was killed by him alone!”
“What did you say?”
*Impossible!”
Zachary and Caius once again let out astonished exclamations.
This time, their astonishment was clearly greater than before.
Both of them showed a hint of disbelief in their eyes.
They knew that although the Harper family was the weakest in terms of martial strength among the families, there was a master from the Mason family in Greenwald defending them!
How could the Mason family’s expert do nothing when the Harper family was being attacked?
How could the combined might of the Mason family’s expert and the entire Harper family be unable to stop Gavin?
Caius said, “Gavin couldn’t possibly be this powerful!”
This was the shared thought of both Zachary and Caius. However, Jackson directly shook his head.
He said, “Believe it or not, Gavin now knows that the Holman family and the Dawson family are related to the annihilation of the Clifford family back then. He will definitely come looking for you for revenge. I advise you to unite now and find a way to deal with Gavin before the crisis arrives.”
After this statement, Jackson stood up. As he turned to leave, he said, “This is all I have to say. What you choose to do is your own business. Today, I was never here.”
Just as Jackson was about to leave the private room, Zachary’s hesitant voice slowly sounded.
“Why should we believe you?
