“Bastard, you’re really pushing your luck. You’ve gone too far. You’ve even started to send Magi into our house to steal the secret formulas. You’ve completely disregarded our family clan!”
After hearing Jack’s full report on what had happened earlier, the head of the family, Norton, immediately slapped the table and stood up, shouting. He was very indignant now. If the other party had only sent some people to infiltrate the factory to steal the secret formula, it would have been fine. At most, they would have handed them to the City Lord Residence to be dealt with. But now, they had actually come into their family home directly to steal the secret formulas. This was simply bullying. This time, Norton did not plan to send this thief to the City Lord Residence. He planned to deal with him himself.
Then, a group of them came directly to the secret underground chamber, where that lowly thief was detained. At this time, he had already woken up. Norton did not say anything and just let Zoro do the dirty work. Previously, Romo had taught them a set of Tendon-Splitting Bone Dislocation Technique, and they had not had the opportunity to use it. Now, they had the chance. Shortly after, the thief had already let out an extremely shrill scream and was begging loudly, “I’ll talk, I’ll tell you everything. Don’t torture me, I’ll tell you everything.”
Norton waved his hand, and Zoro had no choice but to resentfully stop. He looked like he had not had enough fun. He had only exercised half of the entire set of the Tendon-Splitting Bone Dislocation Technique, and had not even exercised it to the fullest yet, and the other party was already unable to take it. This was simply too uninteresting. However, now was not the time to test out this cultivation technique; he should quickly hear what the other party had to say.
“The Golden Light Merchant Store from the Holy Light City had sent me,” said the thief.
“What? Holy Light City?”
“Holy Light City?”
After hearing the thief’s words, everyone except Jack was shocked. Jack did not understand at first why they were so shocked when they heard about the Holy Light City. However, he soon understood. He knew that the Nicholas family clan had first settled in the Holy Light City. It was only after their family clan was attacked by others that they fled from the Holy Light City to this place. That place was a huge scar on the entire Nicholas family clan.
Norton quickly calmed himself down. He stared intently at the thief and said coldly, “Did the Golden Light Merchant Store from the Holy Light City really send you here? What is the other party’s name? Where is he now?” Norton asked one question after another.
“Yes, I wouldn’t dare to lie. They are really from the Golden Light Merchant Store. In the beginning, they were even masked and did not reveal their faces. However, I secretly followed them later and saw the person who had hired me entering the Golden Light Merchant Store. Therefore, he must also be from the Golden Light Merchant Store. As to where he is now, I don’t know either. He only gave me a sum of money to steal something. Once I have stolen it, they would naturally come and look for me on their own. When the time comes, they will give me another large sum of money, and even Magic Stones. Therefore, I came.” This thief had already been frightened by the beating, and he disclosed everything all at once. From Norton’s experience, he was definitely not lying.
Then, Norton fell into deep thought. Although he appeared calm on the surface, a volcano had already erupted in his heart. He would never forget the Golden Light Merchant Store in the Holy Light City because the historical records of the family clan clearly documented all the forces which had harmed their family clan, and the Treis family clan behind the Golden Light Merchant Store was one of the perpetrators that persecuted the Nicholas family clan.
The Treis family clan in the Holy Light City was not a large family clan, only a small strength. In the beginning, the Nicholas family clan did not take such a small family clan seriously. However, later on, the Nicholas family was constantly oppressed by the other family clans, causing the strength of their family clan to decrease tremendously. More than a hundred years ago, the strength of their family clan had already declined to the lowest level in history. Then, the small Treis family clan jumped out and became the vanguard of the few large family clans. They kept causing trouble for the Nicholas family clan and did many despicable acts. They even plundered many of the businesses of their family clan. At that time, their family clan had also fought several times with the other family clans. However, the Treis family clan had the support of several large family clans, causing the Nicholas family clan to be constantly oppressed. Of the powers that had persecuted the Nicholas family clan, the one hated most by the clansmen of the Nicholas family was without a doubt this Treis family clan.
As the head of the family, Norton knew all these things very well. After he had read the history of the family clan, he also hated the Treis family clan so much that he gnashed his teeth. In the past, he had not had the chance to take revenge. But now, ever since the Old Ancestor appeared, the strength of their family clan had advanced rapidly. He had already listed down the family clans which had previously persecuted them. The first family clan he had listed down to take revenge against was the Treis family clan. However, what made him furious was that before he could take revenge on them, the other party had already provoked them first. This was simply intolerable.
Norton wished he could immediately lead all the family members to attack the Treis family clan, but he knew that this would not do. The Treis family clan was just a pawn. They still had more enemies to take revenge on, so he had to consider this carefully.
…
At the same time, Romo, who was in the ancestral hall, was even more furious than Norton. He also knew about the Treis family clan. When he had just woken up, he had learned from the System that the Treis family clan was not the only family clan. He also knew about the other family clans which had harmed the Nicholas family clan. However, when he was alive, the Treis family clan might not have existed at all. He did not care much initially. In his opinion, he could exterminate such a small family clan with ease. There was really nothing he should be bothered about. His target was all those large family clans. Unexpectedly, before he could go and find them, they had already jumped out impatiently and come to his doorsteps.
“Since they are eager to seek death, I shall grant them their wish,” Romo said coldly to himself.
Apart from Romo who was paying attention to this matter, Kaluman was also paying attention. He had not wanted to intervene initially, but this matter had even alerted Norton. Moreover, it seemed to involve some old grievances of the Nicholas family. He was very interested in this. Perhaps, he would be able to find out who his master was from these grievances.. After all, he had not seen his master since the first time he saw him.
