The immense responsibilities he held meant he needed to set his feuds aside. He had only recently
begun figuring out who the culprit was.
The Klein family was extremely powerful.
They had two wardens in their family.
Which made him even more cautious.
He did not fear death but feared that no one would avenge the Young family if he died.
Moreover, the countries that bordered the Northern Territory would stir up trouble if he died.
“So, you established the Heavenly Doors Association so you could fight back against the Klein family?”
The Heavenly Doors Association was a martial arts organization in the Northern Territory. Ster had
never engaged with its members because it was a private organization the warden had established.
All he knew was that its members spent their days practicing and training on a secret ind in the
Northern Territory and that the warden only visited them once every several years.
In fact, its members had not even shown up when the Northern Territory was under attack.
Philix took a swig of vodka and grimaced as it burned its way down his throat. “My family bought
Paradise Ind back when the Vikings were still ruling. Today, it remains one of the few inds in the
country that are privately owned. The ind is a treasure trove of cultivation-rted knowledge, but the
members still need more time to learn and practice since the Heavenly Doors Association is a rtively
new organization!”
“Aren’t you afraid they’d betray you after gaining power?” Ster asked.
“A member of the Young family was an immortal cultivator, and he created something called a ‘soul
contract’. It’s very straightforward, all you need are two pieces of parchment paper – one for the
principal, and one for the subsidiaries. Once they drink the water infused with the ashes of the
subsidiaries’ parchment paper while I drink the water infused with the other one… I get to control if they
live or die!”
Philix only shared how he kept them under control, but he did not delve into the specifics.
The fact he was willing to share all this with Ster showed he trusted him as much as he would a
brother.
However, some things he kept secret just to be on the safe side.
Ster did not think too much of it and merely smiled sadly. “I had never imagined the Klein family to be
as powerful as they are now!”
“Woof woof woof… Woof woof woof…”
Then, the sounds of a dog’s barks could be heard.
Philix and Ster exchanged nces before they scrambled to their feet and hurried to the gates of the
Young Gardens.
The two security guardsy in a pool of blood, their eyes open and faces filled with looks of horror.
Therge ck dog was also fighting for its life. Its limbs twitched for a while before it also died.
“Danger… let’s go…’
})
Ster looked around warily before he escorted Philix away from the scene.
Beep beep!
Beep beep!
The man’s phone rang.
Philix shoved Ster aside and went to grab the old man’s phone. When he saw the iing caller ID
was saved as “Granddaughter”, he immediately answered the phone and said in a low voice, “Hello…
are you the granddaughter of this phone’s owner?”
On the way to the Young Gardens.

Melody mmed on the brakes.
She hung up the phone and said in a voice overcast with grief, “Something’s happened to my
grandfather!”
Nash curled his hands into fists. “Come to Jonford with me… Let’s seek revenge against Ol’ Devil when
we be more capable of doing so!”
Melody’s face had gone pale. She was about to turn down Nash’s suggestion and embark on the
journey to seek revenge when she recalled her grandmother’sst words.
She gritted her teeth and dialed another number.
Soon, a wizened voice could be heard on the other end of the line.
“Melody… has the Ol’ Devile looking for you guys?”
“Grandma has passed away. Her body has been sent to Eternal Prosperity Funeral Parlor. I think my
grandfather is in trouble as well, so please help me check on him at the Young Gardens!” Melody said
chokingly.
“Come to my ce. The Ol’ Devil wouldn’t dare do anything to you if you’re with us!”
“The Ol’ Devil has alreadypleted more than half his journey to achieving the Mystique Loyalty
Realm, I’ll just bring you guys more trouble if I stay with you. I’ll leave Goldenfalls for the time being!”
Melody hurriedly hung up the phone when she finished speaking. She did not mention anything about
Nash’s presence.
After wiping the tears off her face, she looked up the directions to Royal Bay on her phone and sped
toward its direction.
Meanwhile…
Philix and Ster sat in a taxi.
Ster retrieved his phone and dialed Goldenfalls’ warden’s number.
Philix grabbed Ster’s phone and shook his head. “Do not let anyone know we’ve been there!”
Ster whispered, “Does that mean there’s no one left to guard the mausoleum? What will happen to
the two old men’s corpses?”
