As soon as these words were spoken, not only did the Four Sons feel as if they had been struck by lightning, but Jun Chester also couldn’t help but furrow his brow.


    Kennard Meskill, that old man, has gone mad in his search for the Four Sons over the years?


    Wasn’t he serving as a guest official at Emei?


    How could he have gone mad?


    Is there some misunderstanding here?


    Nichs Meskill was the first toe back to his senses and, for the first time in ages, steadied his expression, helped Abbott Meskill to his feet and asked in a deep voice, “Where is that old man?”


    Abbott Meskill shook his head and answered with tears in his eyes, “I don’t know.”


    Jun Chester gestured to Nichs Meskill, brought over a chair and sat Abbott Meskill down next to him. Once Abbott Meskill’s emotions had stabilized somewhat, Jun Chester asked, “I received a message earlier that Kennard Meskill has been serving as a guest official at Emei. When was thest time you saw him?”


    Abbott Meskill forcefully suppressed his grief and replied, “Three years ago, I saw the old man on a deserted ind in the East China Sea. When I saw him then, he was already mad!”


    Jun Chester became even more puzzled.


    Abbott Meskill continued, “In fact, I also received word that he had been at Emei in recent times. However, I arrived here seven days ago and searched through the front and back of the mountains, even the Emei Yixian Temple, and found no trace of him.”


    Just as Jun Chester was about to say something, Nichs Meskill interjected anxiously, “Could a person really just disappear into thin air? Is the old man truly mad or pretending to be so?”


    Jun Chester looked at Nichs Meskill and said calmly, “To outsiders, the four of you also disappeared for a full ten years, did you not?”


    Nichs Meskill was first stunned, then his face turned pale.


    “It couldn’t have anything to do with Five Empire Ind, could it?”


    Jun Chester narrowed his eyes.


    “It’s a definite possibility!”


    Abbott Meskill, hearing the words “Five Empire Ind”, suddenly appeared frightened and spoke with a trembling voice, “Five Empire Ind?”


    Jun Chester was taken aback and asked, “How so, have you also heard of Five Empire Ind?”


    Abbott Meskill’s expression was constantly changing, and he said with excitement, “I’ve heard of it! Now it seems that my father has gone mad and vanished, surely it’s rted to Five Empire Ind. When I met with my father, he was like a demon, constantly speaking the three words ‘Five Empire Ind’, and even said that it was he who had harmed Nichs and the others!”


    At this point, Abbott Meskill’s eyes were even more panicked, and he added, “But when I tried to ask for more information, he behaved like a madman and ran away!”


    Jun Chester fell silent for a moment and then asked, “Have you investigated anything about Five Empire Ind in recent years?”All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Abbott Meskill nodded, “I did investigate, but I found nothing, only knowing that Five Empire Ind built a temple to the Five Emperors on the mountain behind Emei. However, I have no idea about the situation at the temple.”


    “Recently, I heard that people at the temple are apparently going to murder a mother and child!”


    “I wanted to go and find out, but I was stopped at the door by a terrifying woman who said I, as a martial artsyperson, did not have the qualification to enter the temple.”


    “Even though I’ve reached the strength of a Triple Heaven Dan, I couldn’t get past her!”


    “The people at the Five Emperors temple are too terrifying!”


    Jun Chester frowned, “What is the name of that woman?”


    Abbott Meskill shook his head, “I’ve only heard others call her Veronica Rice.”


    Jun Chester raised an eyebrow, “Veronica Rice…”


    Abbott Meskill was startled, “Veronica Rice?”


    It was at this moment that Veronica Rice, followed by several women, walked in their direction, carrying tea-making utensils.


    Upon noticing Veronica Rice, Abbott Meskill turned pale in shock.


    “It’s her, it’s her!”


    Jun Chester looked at Veronica Rice and a strange expression flickered across his face.


    Veronica Rice, apanied by several women, approached Jun Chester and first bowed to him.


    Then, she personally brought a tea-making stove to Jun Chester’s side.


    Abbott Meskill watched this scene in wide-eyed shock, unable to understand why Veronica Rice, as a devotee of the Five Emperors temple, would be so obedient in front of the sect’s grandmaster. Her demeanor was as if she were a humble servant!


    However, Veronica Rice paid no attention to Abbott Meskill’s astonishment. After cing the tea pot on the stove, she exined to Jun Chester, “Madam sent this servant to ensure you wouldn’t be thirsty.”


    As Abbott Meskill listened to this, he was once again shocked. Madam? Was the woman Veronica referred to as Madam the wife of the sect’s grandmaster? And who exactly was she to have such control over Veronica Rice, a feared figure?


    What… what’s going on here?


    Did the grandmaster alsoe from a ce as dreadful as Five Empire Ind?


    Jun Chester paid no mind to Abbott Meskill’s current state and asked Veronica Rice, “Do you know the whereabouts of Kennard Meskill?”


    Veronica Rice paused, then approached and bowed before answering, “Kennard Meskill visited the Five Emperors temple three years ago to inquire about the situation of Nichs Meskill and the others but disappeared once he knew the truth.”


    “Furthermore, before he disappeared, he was injured by Darcy, who then threatened him, saying that if he dared toe to the temple again, he would ughter the entire True Martial Sect!”


    At this information, Jun Chester, Abbott Meskill, and the Four Sons were all struck as if by lightning.


    Especially the Four Sons, who all lookedpletely horrified!


    So, three years ago, Kennard Meskill already knew that they were enved under Darcy’s control?


    Jun Chester furrowed his brow and asked Veronica Rice, “Are you saying that Kennard Meskill already knew the whereabouts of Nichs Meskill and the others?”


    Veronica Rice nodded. “Ten years ago, Kennard Meskill brought Nichs Meskill and the others to the Five Emperors temple. He thought at the time that the temple was a good ce to send his four grandsons for training, but three years ago, he found out that his four grandsons had all been enved by Darcy.”


    As these words were spoken, every one of the Four Sons turned deathly pale.


    Their own grandfather had sent them to Darcy’s side?


    Abbott Meskill was still full of question marks.


    For the past ten years, his four nephews had been by the side of the sect’s grandmaster, correct? So, who was this Darcy figure?


    How could his four nephews have been enved by him?


    What exactly was going on here?


    Just as they were still processing this, Jun Chester turned to Nichs Meskill and the others, his expressionplex, and said, “The reason for Kennard Meskill’s madness has been found.”


    Nichs Meskill’s face went as white as a sheet.


    “No, it can’t be. How could the four of us brothers have been sent to Darcy’s side by our grandfather? We don’t have a single memory of this happening!”


    Veronica Rice looked at Nichs Meskill deeply and said softly, “You four brothers have experienced hardships by Darcy’s side over the years, more than anyone else. Imagine, when you were so young, after being tormented by Darcy, how could you possibly remember those terrifying details?”


    “It’s just… an evesting choice of amnesia!”


    Nichs Meskill sneered, “So, Veronica, you’re saying that our grandfather really did throw us into the fire?”


    Veronica Rice remained silent.


    Abbott Meskill, who was standing by, widened his eyes and couldn’t help but ask, “Nichs, what exactly is going on here?”


    And then, Nichs Meskill suddenly burst into a madughter, the bloodshot eyes in his head gathering into a frenzy, and his next actions truly left everyone stunned!


    He suddenly grabbed Abbott Meskill and forcefully exposed himself, even pulling down his pants.


    And then, he burst into maniacalughter.


    “What’s going on? I also want to know what’s going on! How could you, uncle, believe the nonsense your eldest nephew said before? Thest ten years have been worse than hell for us four brothers!”


    “Now, do you understand what’s going on?”


    “Ha ha ha! I’m insane, too!!!!!”
