Gilmore looked calm.
However, at the moment when the woman in a white gauze hat walked into the restaurant, he
already knew that something would happen soon through his God’s Eve
In a private room of the ints.
The female mattager entered with the woman in the white hat and the man in ck, closing the
door behind her
Sitting at a table in the private room was a gray–haired man in his fifties.
As the woman in the white veil approached, the man stood and greeted her with, “Ms. Gould, you’ve
come!
Mana nodded. “Yes”
The gray–haired man signaled for the female manager to leave and said, “Cassie, you can leave
now. Make sure no one disturbs me while I talk to Ms. Gould”
The gray–haired man, whose name was Landen, was the inn’s owner.
Cassie said. “Got it, sir.”
After that, she left the private room and closed the door.
The gray–haired man signaled to her to sit down and spoke with respect to the woman in the white
gauze hat, saying, “Ms. Gould please have a seat.”
Maria nodded and sat down.
However, even after sitting down, Maria did not take off the white veiled hat.
“Mr. Lawson, is there any news from the Secret Sect?” Maria’s gaze looked at the gray–haired man
as she asked through the white vell
Landen, the gray–haired man, informed the woman, “Ms. Gould, since Ashley coborated with the
venerable master and betrayed the Secret Sect, causing your father hurt severely
“Ashley took over as sect master and eliminated those who were loyal to your father.
“Recently, Venerable Master instructed Ashley to gather beautiful women for his pleasure. I can’t
imagine how many innocent women have suffered because of him”
Talking about this, Landen’s face showed deep sadness and anger
Indeed, this man in front held a high position in the Snowenian Secret Sect and was known as
Landen.
Half a year ago, a significant event urred within the Secret See This led to Kean, the previous
sect master, getting hurt and fleeing. Ashley then held the position of sect master.
Additionally, many loyal martialists from the ult Sect who followed Keau were also killed.
However, Landen, as our of the leaders, survived sately.
This
because he concealed his allegiance to the previous sect master
pretended to be loyal to Ashley Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.
Therefore, Ashley, the new set mate, as only did not suspect him but he also appointed him as one
of the leaders.
As for the business in Magnolia Town, it was handed over to Landen to manage.
This was also the reason why Landen was able to meet Maria here at Raindrop Inn secretly.
Maria, dressed in white, was the daughter of the previous leader of the Secret Sect
When she heard about Ashley collecting beautiful women for Venerable Master andmitting
murders, she clenched her
fists in anger.
“Ashley will face retribution for all the crimes he’smitted, Linden reassured Maria.
He then looked at Maria and said, “Ms. Gould, how is your father doing?”
Maria replied. “After six months of recovery, my father has regained ny percent of his health
from venerable master’s Icy Poison
This time, my father wanted me to meet you because he hopes you’ll keep an eye on the Secret
Sect. When the right momentes, my father ns to return to the Secret Sect and eliminate that
despicable Ashley.”
“Miss. I heard that Ashley is nning to celebrate the birthday of Venerable Master in a few days. It
might be the perfect chance for your father to retake control of the Secret Sect and get rid of Ashley
once and for all,” Landen’s eyes sparkled as he spoke to Maria
“Mr. Lawson, is the news urate?
“Don’t worry, Ms. Gould. Ashley himself shared this information with me a few days ago when I
returned to the Secret Sect. It’s a reliable piece of news, assured Landen.
Maria nodded. “Very well. I’ll tell my father about this. We’ll make use of this opportunity to reim
the Secret Sect.” Maria looked warily at him and asked, “Is there anyone else in Magnolia Town
who knows that you are loyal to my father?”
Landen smiled confidently and said, “Ms. Gould, I’ve been the leader in Magnolia Town for over a
decade, even before Ashley took control of the sect.
“This ce has long been managed by me. They are all under mymand and are only loyal to
your father. There will never be Ashley’s men”
Maria nodded
Certainly, the moment Maria entered Raindrop Inn, she felt that both the waitstaff and the female
manager led her to a private room without any sign of surprise or hesitation.
Therefore, Maria trusted in Landen.
“Miss, trouble” At that moment, the man standing at the window, observing the ck–robed monks
outside, suddenly had a change in his expression and turned his gaze toward Maria.
Maria and Landen unmediately turned to look at him.
What’s wrong, Cole? Maria asked.
Cole said, “There are many Secret Sect martialists outside
Hearing this, Maria and Landen hurried to the window.
Then, dry saw hundreds of monks wearing red robes lying over the rooftops of ins and buildings in
Magnolia Town. Their speed was astonishing, and in no time, these monks approached the
Raindrop fon
Seeing this, Landen furrowed his brow, his eyes sharp.
He quickly closed the window curtains, attempting to keep Maria hidden from the approaching
threat.
Maria looked at Landen and asked, “Why are there so many Secret Sect martialists here, Mr.
Lawson?”
Landen, just as puzzled, replied, “Ms. Gould, while I don’t have all the answers, I can solemnly
swear that everyone in our Magnolia Town branch is loyal to Mr. Kean
Maria reassured him, “Mr. Lawson, I trust your loyalty to my father.
“It seems that Ashley is more cunning than we thought, sending so many martialists here as soon
as I arrived in Magnolia.
Town
Although Maria didn’t know how Ashley had discovered her location, it was clear that he already
had.
Landen, determined, said. “Ms. Gould, this is my responsibility. Il prepare the branch martialists to
stand against the enemy and ensure your safe escape.
Maria expressed her concern, “But Mr. Lawson, there are so many Secret Sect martialists outside. It
won’t be easy for us to
leave.
Landen reassured her. “Ms. Gould, there’s a secret passage in the inn that you can use to escape.”
Landen had managed this branch for over ten years.
overlook having an escape route in such a situation.
There’s no way he’d ov
“Okay, Mr. Lawson, let’s evacuate from the secret passage as soon as possible.”
“Ms. Gould, we can’t leave with you. I’ll stay with all the martialists in the branch to pin down the
enemy. You take the opportunity to leave quickly.”
It was not that Landen didn’t want to leave, but that the inn had a secret passage leading to another
mansion a few hundred yards away.
If he and the others were to leave through the secret passage with Maria.
Then, the martialists of the Secret Sect outside would undoubtedly discover their escape through
the secret passage.
Furthermore, the mansion at the far end of the secret passage was just a short distance, a few
hundred yards, away from Raindrop Inn
The distance was too short. Only Landen and the martialists from the branch remained to confront
the enemy outside. So that, they would not have discovered Maria.
This was Landen’s escape n.
At this moment, someone knucked. “It’s Cassie.”
was indeed Cassie, the hotel manager’s voice.
Landen said, “Come in
The door opened, and Cassie, the female manager, came in with seven or eight men dressed as
waiters.
Even though they were dressed us waiters, these men had the
of warriors surrounding the

These waiters were actually martialists from the Magnolia branch of the Secret Sect.
Cassie looked a little anxious and said to Landen. “Sir, there are a lot of Secret Sect martialists
outside.”

While Cassie was one of the martialists from the Magnolia Town branch, she referred to Landen as
‘Sir to conceal her identity.
Landen replied decisively, “Cassie, take Ms. Gould to the secret passage on the first floor and
ensure she leaves as quickly as possible.”
“Yes, sir, Cassic answered.
Then she looked at Maria and said, Ms. Gould, pleasee with us.”
Maria nodded, and the group left the private room.
Meanwhile, on the second–floor dining hall, Gilmore and his girlfriends enjoyed their meal. They
noticed hundreds of red- robed monks flying toward Raindrop Inn through the window.
The girls frowned and their eyes reflected determination.
ire turned to Gilmore andmented, “Gilmore, I didn’t expect the members of the Secret Sect
to arrive so quickly.”
She assumed the red–robed monks were here because of their presence.
To her surprise, she noticed that Gilmore was calmly sipping his coffee, seemingly unperturbed by
the approaching crowd.
“Gilmore, say something… Seeing that Gilmore acted as if it had nothing to do with him, ire
could not help butin.
Only t
then did Gilmore look at ire and say, “Although there’re many of them here, they may not be
coming for us. “Moreover, even if they are, can’t we handle these non–cultivators with our strength,
these monks are not even cultivators?” When ire and the other girls heard this, they all felt that
what Gilmore said made sense. They were all cultivation martialists, reaching the proficient level.
Could it be that they were afraid of these monks?
Then, all girls regained theirposure.
However, as the girls returned to their meal, they noticed the woman in the white gauze
hat
reappearing.
She was apanied by the female manager and seven or eight waiters, she walked out of the
corridor that led to the private room.
They were walking toward the elevator,
Lilian whispered to other girls, “Look, that mysterious woman is here again.”
