Chapter 1179: Chapter 1179 Pendleton
The room where the head of Shadow Gate was located was very cramped.
But its location was quite excellent.
The small seventy-square-meter building was situated right in the core area of Shadow Gate.
Behind it was a wasteland where no one could possibly come up.
In front, was where the members of Shadow Gate stayed.
Anyone wanting to charge here from the front would have to fight against the entire power of Shadow Gate.
But the main gate was a full three kilometers away!
Ironically, behind it were only a bunch of machines and a few people.
Even the patrolling disciples of Shadow Gate only passed by this place once every half hour.
Probably, the head of Shadow Gate would never have imagined that someone could sneak up from behind.
At this moment,
Inside the dim and narrow room,
an old man was holding a box of hidden weapons, looking at the uninvited guest in front of him with a grave expression.
"I am the head of Shadow Gate, what are you doing in my room?"
After seeing the old man, Julius Reed didn’t panic; instead, he calmly asked a question.
Who else would be in the room of the head of Shadow Gate at this time?
"You are the head?"
The old man somewhat incredulously said, "Impossible! The head just left me, and even your tone of speaking doesn’t match his."
He lifted the mouth of his box of hidden weapons, aiming it at Julius Reed, "Take one more step forward, and I’ll take your life!"
After speaking, the old man picked up his cell phone, seemingly about to make a call.
He didn’t have any skills, just an ordinary person.
"My life is here, just try taking it!" Julius Reed naturally couldn’t let him send out any signal.
So he darted forward, instantly appearing in front of the old man.
Swoosh!
The sound of the weapon box triggered.
The dart hit the iron door.
Crack!
The next moment,
Julius Reed broke the old man’s arm and pressed him down on the table with one hand.
"Speak, who are you!"
The sound of the hidden weapons would surely alarm the guards outside, so he had to leave quickly.
And the old man in front of him appeared weak, obviously not a member of Shadow Gate.
"Don’t challenge me."
After Julius Reed finished speaking, he gradually increased the pressure of his hand.
"Ah... I... I’ll tell..."
The old man, sweating cold sweat from his head, couldn’t help but cry out for mercy.
"If you dare lie or stall for time, you will surely die!"
Crack!
Julius Reed violently kicked, directly breaking the old man’s shin.
"Ugh..." As a groan echoed, the old man collapsed on the floor, gasping for breath heavily.
His face also turned pale within a few short seconds.
"I am... I’m a friend of the head of Shadow Gate, invited here to discuss important matters," the old man gasped deeply, curling up in pain.
"As for anything else, I really don’t know," he groaned softly in pain.
Pain!
Heart-wrenching, soul-tearing pain!
"Is that all?"
Julius Reed grabbed the old man and violently pressed him against the wall, "Speak, what’s your identity, what organization do you come from!"
Outside, scurrying footsteps seemed to be already approaching.
"I..." The old man hesitated, clenched his teeth, "Kill me!"
"You want to die?"
Julius Reed was very irritated.
After all, he had come here to find the head of Shadow Gate, but ended up encountering a decoy.
Crack!
He crushed the old man’s shoulder with one hand, his voice cold, "You want to die, but it won’t be that easy! I’m asking you one last time, will you speak or not!"
"No..."
Crack!
Before the old man could finish speaking, Julius Reed smashed several of his ribs with a punch.
"I’ll tell... I am a member of the Pendleton Alliance..." the old man pleaded in pain, "Even if I told you, you wouldn’t know... please, just kill me!"
He was desperate to die.
At an old age, he’d experienced humiliation like never before.
"Pendleton? Continue!"
Julius Reed coldly demanded, "I know about Pendleton! Who are you within Pendleton!"
Pendleton!
The organization that was established years ago to overthrow himself.
Had Granny Xihua and the Vein Holder of Sealing Pulse not betrayed him, Julius Reed wouldn’t have even known of such an existence.
But the old man before him, claiming to be a member of the Pendleton alliance?
"You... you actually know about Pendleton?" a shock flashed over the old man’s pale face.
"I am Bead Pulse." Julius Reed said coldly, "If you don’t want to die, speak quickly!"
Granny Xihua was Bead Pulse, and now he was impersonating Bead Pulse to stabilize the old man’s emotions.
"Bead Pulse... no wonder..." A sneer of disgust appeared on the old man’s face, "I am the Deputy Manager of Pendleton. Logically, you Bead Pulse should be kneeling before me."
"Deputy Manager? Why don’t I know of this?" Julius Reed was somewhat surprised.
When Granny Xihua and the Vein Holder came to him, they hadn’t mentioned any so-called Deputy Manager.
They just introduced Pendleton and disclosed the situation of their respective veins.
The veins, though united in appearance, were already isolated.
Even the betrayals of Bead Pulse and Sealing Pulse were unknown to each other.
Now, to come up with a Deputy Manager?
"Since the establishment of Pendleton, the Alliance Hierarch has long been unworthy of his name, the veins have forgotten their initial purpose, and they slaughter each other... Haha, Bead Pulse, the vein where traitors reside, you won’t die well!"
The old man fiercely grabbed a pen from the table and stabbed it viciously towards Julius Reed!
Snap!
Julius Reed slapped with his palm, and the old man flew back.
Dead.
"Someone is here!"
Footsteps were coming closer from outside the door.
Accompanied by the sounds of pulling traps on hidden weapons boxes.
"Who’s there!"
Crash!
No sooner had the old man died than a group of Shadow Gate disciples rushed in.
They held various weapons in their hands.
Click!
Someone turned on the light by the door.
"Manager Bread?"
The leader of the group couldn’t help but exclaim when he saw the old man’s body on the ground.
"Take him down!"
Almost instinctively, the little leader aimed his weapon at Julius Reed.
"If you resist, kill him!"
As soon as his words fell, a few Shadow Gate disciples quickly charged over.
"With you folks, you can’t stop me!"
Swish!
Julius Reed’s Dazhou Lanyi Sword made a fierce sweep!
Sword Qi burst forth into the sky!
Puff!
Many Shadow Gate disciples didn’t even get close before being blown apart by the Sword Qi, falling down dead.
"Tell me, where is the main leader?"
The next moment, the cold sword blade pressed against the little leader’s neck.
And in the room, there was no one alive other than him.
The might of the Grandmaster’s sword!
That’s how it should be!
"I..."
The little leader swallowed anxiously, dropping his weapon to the ground.
Is this even human?
Even the main leader wasn’t this formidable!
Dozens of his brothers... all gone...
His legs were now shaking like a sieve.
"The main leader has already left."
The little leader spoke with a sobbing tone, "This place has been handed over to Manager Bread. But Manager Bread, you killed him..."
He looked at the body on the ground, his face filled with grief.
"Then do you know who Manager Bread was?"
Julius Reed looked at the little leader and asked coldly.
Before he could finish speaking, Manager Bread had attacked him directly.
It was apparent that this so-called manager harbored deep hatred for Bead Pulse!
"Manager Bread was invited by the main leader. The main leader only said that in his absence, everything here depended on Manager Bread and Mr. Will..." The little leader pleaded, "Noble one, please spare my life."
Thump!
With that, he knelt directly on the ground.
"Manager Bread and Mr. Will?" Julius Reed frowned slightly, "Where is Mr. Will?"
"I am here!"
As soon as Julius Reed finished speaking, a voice came from behind him!
Then, a sharp edge came piercing through the air!
