It was 2 a. m. in the middle of the night!


    The people on the motorboat had already spotted the ind from a distance. As they approached, L was surprised to find that the ind was actually quiterge. The distance between the two shores was about thirty to forty kilometers, and the ind had an area of at least a hundred square kilometers.


    How could no one have discovered such an ind before?


    There must be something suspicious about it…


    At that moment, they noticed a lighthouse on the ind, with its beacon scanning the surrounding sea. It seemed that the secluded Willis family on this ind had already started their “development.”


    The motorboat unavoidably caught the attention of the lighthouse.


    The guard on the lighthouse immediately took out a regionalmunication device.


    “There’s a boat approaching the ind.”


    A surprised voice came from the other end of the radio.


    “A boat ising here?”


    The news of outsiders nearing the ind quickly reached the person in charge of the secluded Willis family on the ind.


    After a moment…


    The motorboat docked on the beach, and Mesosaurus walked at the forefront, followed by L, Fiery Dragon, and other experts from the Sun Moon Sect.


    “Stop! Who are you people?”


    “This ind is private property. Who allowed you toe ashore?”


    As soon as they stepped onto the ind, a team of people approached them. The one leading them was a steward from the secluded Willis family, whose strength was in the Golden Core Realm.


    But the next second, the steward was taken aback when he saw Quentin.


    “Mesosaurus, why are you here again?”


    He nced at the people behind Quentin, and a hint of surprise shed through his eyes. As a Golden Core expert, he could tell that many of the people who came with Quentin this time had simr strength to his own. In addition, there were a few individuals whose depth he couldn’t gauge.


    Experts? Where did so many expertse from?


    At this moment, Quentinughed and said, “There’s nothing I can do, Konner. The family asked me to bring these people here to take over this ind. … I can’t do anything about it.”


    “What? Take over this ind? Who are they? This ind belongs to our secluded Willis family. Who gave others the right to take over?”


    The steward’s face darkened, and he asked with hostility. The team behind him also had unfriendly expressions as they scrutinized L and his group.Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    “You insolent fool! How dare you speak disrespectfully! You’re asking for death!”


    With these words, Fiery Dragon stepped forward, arrogantly insulting them. And then, he suddenly made a move, striking Konner with a palm.


    He disyed an extremely domineering and arrogant manner, showingplete disregard for the secluded Willis family, as if he stood above them.


    Bang!


    Although Konner was a Golden Core expert, he feltpletely powerless against this palm. With a muffled sound, Konner was sent flying. Afternding, he spat out a mouthful of blood and his aura weakened. It was evident that he had suffered significant internal injuries.


    “A Nascent Soul expert? Who… who are you people?” Konner asked in shock.


    “Tell these idiots from the secluded Willis family who we are,” Fiery Dragon pointed at Quentin and said.


    Witnessing Fiery Dragon’s attitude, Konner’s face revealed a mix of suspicion and uncertainty. He couldn’tprehend the condescending attitude that seemed to look down on the secluded Willis family.


    “These dignitariese from… the Ancient Willis family. And this person here is the protector of the Ancient Willis family, Whitefire,” Quentin pointed at Fiery Dragon and introduced him to Konner as instructed by thetter.


    Quentin had previously suggested that L and his group disguise themselves as members of the secluded Willis family, but Fiery Dragon had vetoed the idea. It was highly likely that experts within the secluded Willis family would recognize each other. Impersonating them would easily be exposed. On the other hand, posing as members of the Ancient Willis family would be more feasible.


    After Quentin’s words, the expression on Konner’s face changed instantly.


    “What? You’re from the Ancient Willis family?”


    He asked in astonishment, and all the anger on his face turned into doubt.


    “Do you understand now? The secluded Willis family is just a branch of the family. Those from the secluded Willis family are nothing more than dogs to our Ancient Willis family. Just because you’re a steward, you dare to shout at me? I can kill you, and even Neymar wouldn’t dare to say anything!” Fiery Dragon said arrogantly and haughtily.


    Neymar Willis is the current head of the modern-day secluded Willis family. Upon hearing this, Konner and the members of the secluded Willis family beside him showed displeasure.


    The words were too harsh. What did it mean that the people from the secluded Willis family were all dogs of the ancient Willis family? However, they dared not voice their anger. If the other party were from the ancient Willis family, they truly wouldn’t be able to provoke them.


    “Enough nonsense. Who is in charge of this ind now? Take me to meet them. The Spiritual Vein on this ind belongs to the ancient Willis family. Hmph!” Fiery Dragon waved his hand in a domineering manner, indicating for Konner to lead the way.


    “This…”


    “Yes!”


    Konner’s gaze flickered for a few moments, and in the end, he reluctantly agreed, not daring to say much.


    A whileter…


    In the center of the ind, inside a temporary stone fortress.


    Konner, with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, led Quentin, L, and the experts from the Sun Moon Sect to this ce. Outside the gate, an old man with a sturdy build was already waiting with his men. It was evident that he had received the news earlier.


    L, currently blending in among the twenty or so experts from the Sun Moon Sect, looked from a distance and his eyes suddenly shed with surprise.


    Thete Nascent Soul stage expert responsible for guarding the ind for the secluded Willis family was someone he had seen before. He was none other than the elder who had fought against Kyrie, Ss. He was also Colt’s grandfather, the leader of the Cobra Syndicate.


    Unexpectedly, he encountered him here again. L spected that his grandson must have died, so he came out to rx…


    L silently muttered in his heart!


    At this moment, although Ss made a show ofing forward to greet them, his face remained expressionless. His gaze carried a hint of sharpness as he assessed Fiery Dragon and the people beside him. As a peakte Nascent Soul stage existence, even if he were truly facing someone from the ancient Willis family, he wouldn’t bow down and try to please them.


    “Are you the one in charge of this ind?” Fiery Dragon walked up and also assessed Ss.


    Internally, he secretly weighed the opponent’s strength.


    Ss nodded but didn’t speak to Fiery Dragon. Instead, he looked at Quentin and asked, “Quentin, are they from the ancient Willis family?”


    Quentin nodded, “That’s right, they are the dignitaries of the ancient Willis family.”


    Ss didn’t say anything further but addressed Fiery Dragon, “Do you have any identification? May I ask, which guardian of the ancient Willis family are you?”


    “Hmph! Why, do you still doubt our identities?”


    “As for my identity, would you know if I told you?” Fiery Dragon asked.


    “Heh, I heard that you repeatedly imed to help the ancient Willis family take over this ind. This matter is of great importance, so I have to be cautious,” Ss said expressionlessly.


    “Very well! I naturally have the ancient Willis family’s token, and I even brought a personal letter from your family head, Neymar. Let’s go inside and talk. We are people from the ancient Willis family. As a mere elder of the secluded Willis family, do you really expect me to stand outside and speak with you?” Fiery Dragon disyed his arrogance and overbearing attitude to the extreme. His demeanor seemed to suggest that this was how the ancient Willis family treated their branch families.


    Ss’ face turned cold and he snorted, gesturing for them to enter, “Then please.”


    At this moment, L’s eyes shed with a hint of surprise, discreetly falling on the rear of the group of experts from the Sun Moon Sect. He faintly felt that the atmosphere seemed somewhat subtle. Although Fiery Dragon of the Sun Moon Sect was extremely powerful, when it came to being meticulous in handling matters…


    Sure enough, the next second, just as Fiery Dragon made a show of entering the stone fortress and approached within five meters of Ss, a sudden change urred.


    “Attack!”


    Suddenly, two huge hammers appeared out of thin air in Fiery Dragon’s hands, without any warning, and smashed towards Ss. However, it seemed that Ss, the elder of the secluded Willis family, had… been prepared in advance!
