Upon hearing L’s words, a self-deprecating smile appeared on Gilberto’s face.


    “Hehe, you’re right!”


    “So, do you really have any useful information about the hidden world of the Willis family to tell me?” L asked in a deep voice, his eyes sharp.


    Gilberto nodded slowly and said, “Yes.”


    He proceeded to tell L a piece of information he knew from beginning to end.


    Previously, Summer had told L that the hidden world of the Willis family had supported various forces andpanies on the outside to umte wealth and gather resources.


    One of these forces was Gilberto’s Medical Business Alliance of Corl Delta.


    Among the leaders of these forces, there were asional connections.


    Gilberto had a rtively close rtionship with Quentin Banks, a gambling den owner who also worked for the hidden world of the Willis family.


    The establishment of this gambling den was funded by Gilberto’s Medical Business Alliance.


    The owner, Quentin Banks, was nicknamed Mesosaurus.


    It is worth mentioning that his gambling den was not built onnd but on a luxurious cruise ship.


    Guests would board the luxurious cruise ship and gamble without worrying about being exposed. Safety was guaranteed.


    As a result, many wealthy individuals were attracted to y on his luxurious cruise ship.


    “So, you’re just telling me this? Are you suggesting that I destroy this cruise ship and cause some losses to the hidden world of the Willis family?” L asked impatiently after listening to Gilberto for a while. Destroying a luxurious cruise ship that helped the Willis family umte wealth might provide some satisfaction, but it wasn’t very meaningful.This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    “No, of course not! What I want to say is that Mesosaurus, that guy, has discovered an ind. That ind can be considered a hidden paradise!” Gilberto quickly said, getting straight to the point, as if afraid that L would lose patience and kill him directly.


    “A hidden paradise?”


    “Go on! Exin in detail.”


    This finally piqued L’s interest, and he gestured for Gilberto to continue.


    Next, Gilberto exined the situation to L in detail.


    About a month ago, when Quentin, or Mesosaurus, the owner of the luxurious cruise ship, was sailing in the sea, they mistakenly entered a deep-sea area.


    At that time, their signals were lost, andbined with the raging winds, they couldn’t even recognize their direction.


    Fortunately, with the tonnage of the luxurious cruise ship, it drifted aimlessly in the sea like a headless fly for several days but didn’t sink.


    Finally, they discovered an ind!


    This ind was located more than three hundred nautical miles east of the easternmost edge of the Priocia Sea and belonged to the international waters.


    It had never been discovered before, as if it had appeared out of thin air!


    The ind was not small, covered in lush greenery, and inhabited by various wild beasts.


    When Mesosaurus and othersnded on the ind, ordinary people didn’t feel anything unusual, but Mesosaurus and the skilled experts sent by the hidden world of the Willis family noticed something extraordinary about the ind.


    The spiritual energy in and around the ind was extremely rich.


    After investigating further, Mesosaurus and the others discovered a Spiritual Vein beneath the ind.


    This unimednd could be described as a hidden paradise.


    It was not just a Spiritual Vein; one must understand that with a Spiritual Vein, there would usually be various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and resources.


    Therefore, Mesosaurus and the others reported this news to the hidden world of the Willis family.


    Naturally, the hidden world of the Willis family saw great value in this ind and had already sent people to im it as their own.


    “A Spiritual Vein? That is indeed significant!” L rubbed his chin, his eyes gleaming with a strange light. “Are you not deceiving me?”


    “No! Mesosaurus’s luxurious cruise ship often docks at the port in Slocmore, and he oftenes to meet me. He personally told me this information. I don’t think he has any reason to deceive me. Mr. Willis, just think about it. If a hidden paradise that belongs to the Willis family is taken by you, how satisfying would that be?” Gilberto’s gaze burned with intensity as he spoke.


    L chuckled nonchntly and thought to himself, “You’re overestimating me too much. With my current strength, I don’t have the ability to snatch food from the mouth of the reclusive Willis family. However, it doesn’t mean I can’t do anything. Even if I can’t snatch it myself, I can’t let this Spiritual Vein fall into the hands of the Willis family.”


    L also had some knowledge about Spiritual Veins.


    During his time at the Broken Pulse Sect, he had read many scriptures in the sect’s library and gained some understanding of the cultivation world.


    In this era of the decline of the Dharma, those reclusive ancient martial forces exist within isted formations.


    In these domains, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is rtively richerpared to the outside world.


    However, after generations of cultivation, spiritual energy always depletes.


    Therefore, those ancient martial forces, especially the powerful ones like the reclusive and ancient-level forces, rely on a Spiritual Vein for support.


    Only in this way can they provide sustained cultivation resources for their families or sects.


    This shows how significant a Spiritual Vein is.


    In fact, there are many ancient martial families or sects that have declined due to the exhaustion of Spiritual Veins.


    One could say that once you possess a Spiritual Vein, it’s equivalent to discovering a foundation for establishing a cultivation force!


    “Mr. Willis, how… how is it? Is my information valuable? Can you… spare my life?”


    Seeing L’s changing expression, Gilberto couldn’t help but probe and ask while hesitating.


    “Do you know how many experts from the reclusive Willis family were sent to that ind and what kind of strength they have?” L responded with a question instead.


    “I… I’m not sure. I’m not a cultivator, so I have no concept of these things.”


    Gilberto replied hesitantly.


    L furrowed his brow, his gaze sharp as he stared at Gilberto for a good ten seconds.


    Being observed by L, Gilberto felt a tingling sensation all over his body.


    “I swear to the heavens, everything I said is true.”


    After a while…


    Gilberto was lying on the ground, convulsing, his eyes filled with intense fear and pleading as he looked at L.


    The reason was simple!


    L used the same methods on Gilberto as he had used on Frederick before.


    Gilberto was previously an enemy, not a friend. How could L easily believe him?


    He was not someone who showed mercy towards enemies!


    L was always “ruthless” towards those who were enemies, after all.


    To ensure the authenticity of Gilberto’s information, L had no choice but to make him suffer a bit.


    “It’s true… what I said… is all true…”


    “Mr. Willis, do… do you believe me now?”


    Gilberto wore a wry smile on his face as he stammered.


    “Heh, now I do.”


    L smiled indifferently.


    Next, he began to inquire about various details, including how to find the Mesosaurus and how to board the luxurious cruise ship.


    …


    After leaving Gilberto, L sat in the car, contemting for a long time!


    How could he prevent the reclusive Willis family from obtaining the ind with the Spiritual Vein?


    With his current strength, he couldn’t contend with the Willis family.


    The Willis family was a top existence in the reclusive realm, much stronger than ordinary reclusive forces.


    Elders like Wicked Bone possessed the strength of the initial stage of Nascent Soul.


    Although his wife Miranda’s physical strength wasparable to that of a Nascent Soul expert, L didn’t want her to take risks with him.


    Then, whose power should he borrow to deal with the Willis family?


    Broken Pulse Sect?


    Or Kyrie’s Reverse Destiny Pavilion?


    As soon as this idea arose, L immediately dismissed it.


    Deep down, L didn’t have a strong sense of belonging to the Broken Pulse Sect.


    Even though Sullivan and Kyrie had shown great enthusiasm and loyalty.


    L saw the true nature of things.


    In the end, Broken Pulse Sect was only interested in the legacy he obtained.


    And his joining the Broken Pulse Sect was merely seeking shelter.


    L didn’t want to relypletely on the Broken Pulse Sect. In fact, deep down, he wanted to maintain some distance from them.


    “If I don’t rely on Broken Pulse Sect, then whose power should I borrow?”


    “Heh, Gilberto gave me this information. I would be unwilling if I don’t do something about it!”


    “He even has the audacity to say that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, but he can’t even rify how many experts the Willis family sent. How dare he say that to me!”


    L muttered to himself, silentlyining.


    But he suddenly had a thought.
