Chapter 1278


    Sosasmo, the desert that was filled with bloodshed, was enveloped by darkness.


    In the past, there would be taxis and ride-hailing service vehicles headed to the Steel City from the


    airport, but recently, after Steel City no longer weed outsiders, no one dared to enter it


    anymore.


    At the beginning, some who felt confident in their wealth tried paying up in order to enter. However,


    they realised that no matter how much money they were willing to pay, it was of no use. There were


    even rumours that ever since the Steel City closed its doors to the public, many strange incidents


    had happened in the Sosasmo desert, some who set foot into it never returned.


    As soon as Henry disembarked the ne, he heard about this rumour. In Henry''s view, he was very


    clear about the sort of "strange incidents" that was going on in the Sosasmo desert, those who went


    missing probably witnessed some things that they should not have.


    Just like the existence of the Recluse World, having existed on the surface of Earth for thousands of


    years, it was impossible that nobody had entered it by ident all these years.Yet until now, there


    was never any news about it. There were only terrible rumours about a certain extremely bizarre


    ce where people never returned after they had stepped into it. Amidst those rumours, there were


    some who really did die due to conditions of the environment, but the number of people who died


    that way was definitely less than one out of a thousand. Most of those who disappeared


    mysteriously had surely been killed by their own kind.


    Li led Henry out of the airport.


    "As of now, Steel City is not open to the public. I''ve contacted a friend of mine who has some way to


    get there." Li Cheng said to Henry.


    Meanwhile, within Steel City.


    People who lived in this city, all hailed from the underground world. Even a plumber or a street


    vendor used to be big shots in the underground world.


    However, the appearance of the originally prosperous Steel City hadpletely be different


    after it was closed to the public. It was usually brightly lit and lively in the night, but now, after the


    skies turned dark, the entire Steel City was dark and quiet, people no longer wandered the streets.


    A man and a woman walked side by side on the street.


    The woman held the man''s arm and rested her head on his shoulder.


    The man was strode on forward, scanning his surroundings from time to time. He only needed to


    point with his finger, and several shadows would speed to the direction his finger pointed at to


    handle the situation.


    "Things have been developing very well recently. More and more people have learned to obey you."


    the woman held on the man''s arm with a needy expression on her face.


    "It is you they fear, not me." the man stopped and then turned to look at the woman who was


    holding on to his arm. "Sloane, what is the Alvin League nning next? Are you nning to take


    boss'' life?"


    "Haha." The woman covered her mouth andughed softly. This man and woman were indeed Alvin


    Tsu and Sloane Reynolds.


    Sloane shook her head, "The one who wants him dead isn''t the Alvin League, but the Recluse


    Association. How about that, all that you had done earlier was just a prefigure. Once he is truly


    dead, Radiant Ind will fallpletely into your hands."


    Alvin shook his head and said, "That''s easy to say.


    Even if he dies, many of his men still live on in Radiant Ind. Plus, that old fe is still living on the


    ind now, and half of its people would still listen to him!"


    "Haha." Sloaneughed disdainfully, "Those pieces of trash can''t stand in your way. Don''t you


    worry, they will leave your boss on their own."


    "On their own?" Alvin was confused.


    "Exactly." Sloane nodded, "When a person has power, he would have followers, but when this


    person bes a loser? Who would dare to continue following him? Anyone who does is the


    enemy of the Recluse Association. Now your boss'' only trump card is within that cage. He can only


    hide in that cage for his whole life, other than that, as long as he lives on this, no one can


    protect him!"


    Alvin was doubtful. "Are you sure the Recluse Association would be able to kill him?"


    "Killing him is just a piece of cake." Sloane was brimming with confidence. "Regarding this Grand


    Meeting, pay more attention to it. After it''s over, you would be able to secure your position as the


    King of Hell. As for me, I would be able to be the King''s Lady peacefully."


    While they were talking, a helicopter shining with silver light flew above Radiant Ind.


    "Oh, it''s the people from the Norman family." Sloane noticed the helicopter. "Let''s go. The fall of


    Radiant Ind shall begin from the separation of Norman."


    "The Norman family." Alvin thought for a moment. "That n behind that Red Hair man? Didn''t the


    n always submit themselves to Boss?"

    "That was just for show." Sloane replied, "The real leader of the Norman family isn''t that simple.


    How would an old monster who has lived for nearly two hundred years willingly watch her


    descendants submit to others? If that person was a true champion among men, they would have no


    option but to submit to him. However, now that person had offended the Recluse Association, who


    would still dare to get in close contact with him?"


    While both of them talked, they arrived beside the helipad of Steel City.


    At that point, the helicopter with a silver lustre had descended. The pilot, dressed in a ck suit and


    white gloves, walked to the cabin and opened the door of the helicopter respectfully.


    Immediately after that, a white cashmere carpet wasid on the ground by the driver, only then did


    the person in the cabin step out of the helicopter in high heels that were fully embedded with white


    crystals and walked out of the helicopter.


    It was a woman with silver hair. Her face looked like she was in her fifties, and her silver hair was


    curled together. From her clothes to the essories she on her, they all exuded an air of nobility.


    No one would doubt that all the diamonds glittering all over her were fakes.


    "This is the true leader of the Norman family, Madame Delicia." Sloane whispered in Alvin''s ear.


    "She''s already two hundred and twenty-one years old."


    Alvin nodded, then walked up to Madam Delicia and greeted her with a standard western salute.


    "Distinguished Madame Delicia, on behalf of Radiant Ind, I warmly wee your arrival."


    Madame Delicia nced at Alvin, then said, "You are the new master of Radiant Ind?"


    Alvin nodded.


    Madame Delicia scanned Alvin. "This ''Radiant Ind'' of yours? How could it possibly bring my


    great- great- grandson to his knees before you? And even granted us one seat of the ten kings. We


    Normans would only ept the throne of an emperor!"


    Alvin''s face darkened.


    "But it doesn''t matter." Madame Delicia waved her hand. "From today onwards, our n has shall


    break all ties with this ''Radiant Ind'' of yours.


    Now have my great-great-grandson out here to see me!"


    "Madame Delicia, Red Hair is not on the ind as of now. Please allow me to arrange somewhere


    for you to get some rest first." Alvin said.


    "Fine." Madame Delicia nced at the distant castle in the center of the ind. "I shall live there.


    Oh, by the way. I want everything in it to be reced with new ones."
