There was a long pause before Finley said slowly, "Forty years ago, when I first came to Umbrella City, Umbrella City was a city only surpassed by Skoerntown in Skoern at the time. However, now Umbrella City is one of the worst cities. Do you know why?"
"That's because there are two families that have lived in Umbrella City for hundreds of years, the Kennedy Family and the Claude Family.
"A hundred-year family is a family that has existed for more than a hundred years. The three great families in Umbrella City today are nothing compared to those two families."
"One night, for unknown reasons, the entire Claude Family tragically died. There was one person who survived because he was not at the Claude Family residence. Other than that, the entire Kennedy Family also disappeared."
"The surviving member of the Claude Family, relying on the family inheritance, remained a powerful figure in Umbrella City. H

If I find a breakthrough, I will return to see Master immediately."The old man in black replied with a look of despair.Suddenly, Hank felt something was wrong, "You...""Why do you call him 'Master'?

After saying that, Bryce attacked the Great King statue with a stronger stream of Internal Force."There is no way you can kill me. I'm an expert at the ninth peak, even though I'm only a thought."The statue roared and tried its best to deflect Bryce's power.However, the statue's efforts were in vain. He was instantly defeated by this Internal Force."No. I don't want to. I can't die. I want to be stronger than the Great King."Little by little, his body turned to ash until it disappeared."You are at the ninth peak, but I am an Expert at the Peak Stage."As soon as Bryce spoke, the statue began to disappear."I am only a form of mind. If the Great King revives one day, he will take revenge for me."When the statue was about to disappear completely, he roared loudly with all his strength.After saying that, his body completely disappeared, as if it had never existed.Liam and the others were so shocked th

He wouldn't have come this far if Bryce hadn't disarmed some of these traps.Liam thought that Bryce was good at grave robbing, but his martial arts proficiency level was low.When facing the Great King statue, even Henley and Elena who were at the Late Stage of Proficiency were weakened.Bryce grew even weaker in the face of the statue.Liam wondered what made Bryce feel so confident in himself to dare say that.Is Bryce bragging?Liam thought so. Bryce had been like that all the way.Thinking of this, Liam felt disgusted and said to himself, "Dude, don't you know how to be humble? You've baited this monster. Your history is over."The statue was momentarily stunned when it heard Bryce's words, with p
Chapter 237: The Other Figure
At that time, the three of them came to the throne.The first thing that caught their attention was not the largest treasure chest, but a statue of the Great King on the throne.Liam was very surprised when he felt the splendour of the statue.Of course, it was pressure coming from the Great King.Even though it was a statue, she felt like kneeling before it."Damn. It turns out that the Great King looks quite ugly. When I finish taking the treasure, I'll have to pee on his statue head before I leave. It was fun thinking about that."Henley laughed.Then, the three of them focused their attention on the treasure chest beside them.Some of the treasure chests have been opened to reveal the jewellery inside. The jewellery inside exudes luxury.Suddenly, the three of them smiled happily.Now they are no longer interested in the usual gold and silver jewellery.After all, they are not ordinary people.Ho
Chapter 236: Fighting for Treasure
The eyes of all the statues were fixed on the three of them standing in the way of the gold coins.Although the eyes of the statues were blank, they looked as if they were staring at the enemy.Although the statues had no consciousness, the three of them knew that anyone who dared to enter their master's Mausoleum would never be forgiven.The three of them were also frightened by the events unfolding before their eyes."Well, of course the Great King's tomb is not simple. This is the first time I've seen those statues rise." Liam said in surprise.Before they could react, thousands of statues rushed at them."Damn, these statues have been resurrected."Henley took out his short knife and said loudly, "Elena, let's fight together."Elena nodded and said to Liam, "Liam, be careful."After that, Elena and Henley ran towards the statues.Desing. Desing.Their weapons clashed with the weapons of the statues and made a loud noise.The strength of the statues was not very great. Almost all o
Chapter 235: Continuing the Journey
Upon entering the tomb, Bryce fell silent.This tomb is too big.Probably about a few hectares.it is almost equivalent to a large playground.Who else had a large tomb in ancient times?Only the Great King.However, that was not the most surprising thing to Bryce. What was most surprising was the view inside.The first thing you notice are the statues of warriors densely placed inside the tomb.Each statue was the same size as a normal human being. He can even see the faces of each statue.The soldiers held their weapons which made the atmosphere at the tomb tense.Although they were not real, they still gave Bryce a sense of reality. It was as if Bryce wasn't dealing with statues, but real soldiers.It gave him the illusion of being on an ancient battlefield.In the centre of the square rows formed by the statues, there is a corridor.The whole street is made of gold coins.The path c
Chapter 234: Guessing Right
"Well, I was right. You can't know the way out. There's only one way out and the others lead to execution. Even if you have a 50% chance of guessing the right answer, you miss it. You're just rubbish. You're not a rival for Liam."When she heard Liam's words, Henley looked at Bryce with a sneer and said coldly.In Henley's heart, Liam's answer was always right. There must be no problem.Liam pretended to look at Bryce calmly and wanted to hear what Bryce had to say.He was forced to give the wrong answer.According to her guess, Bryce would not have thought of the right path. Bryce might get confused by the grave owner and choose the execution route.However, Bryce's answer was beyond her expectations.Bryce chose the right path.According to the rules set beforehand, the person who is the fastest and gives the right answer wins.That's why when Bryce gives the right answer, Liam will lose because he has the same answer as Bryce.How can he admit defeat?He could only point out the pa
Chapter 233: A Little Humbled
Henley and Elena also noticed Liam's displeased look."Young man, can you do it?"If you really don't have the ability to figure out which path is the right one, there's no need to pretend. No one is blaming you. It does require high knowledge and it's not as easy as avoiding a few traps. If you lead us to a dead end, I will kill you before we die."Henley threatened while looking at Bryce with a hateful gaze."That's right. If you really can't, just ask Liam to do it. After all, not everyone is as good as Liam." Elena said scornfully.Bryce ignored the three people. His eyes flickered and he used the God's Eye move once more.In an instant, he could see both ends of the path in the cave. He could see which path was the right one.Bryce opened his eyes and found the right path. However, the other three thought that he had done absolutely nothing.In addition, Bryce did not admit that he could not find the right path. The three

Liam led them. They soon arrived at a place halfway up the mountain."According to my previous calculations, the entrance of the Great King's Mausoleum should be near."Liam looked around and took out a compass.He fiddled with the compass many times. Then, the compass needle began to spin rapidly.After a while, the needle finally stopped and pointed in a direction."That way."Liam pointed in a direction and began to move faster.When he had walked about fifty metres, the compass needle suddenly changed direction and pointed in the opposite direction.He immediately stopped and pointed to the direction under his feet. Then he said, "Here. Tambun, let's do your job."Okay. Leave it to me."Henley moved to this place quickly.He twisted his wrist.Then a silver shimmering short sword appeared in his grasp.He then flicked his short sword and stirred the ground beneath his feet.Moments later, a stone door leading to the sky appeared on the ground.The stone door was carved with intric

Bryce was also surprised to see the three people.However, he didn't care how the three of them came. After all, he didn't interact much with these three people, so he ignored them and left directly."I was talking to you."When she saw this, Elena's face looked angry.In the past, when a man saw her, he would be infatuated with her and could not move.But now, Elena was being ignored."Shit. You bastard. Didn't you hear Elena talking to you? Are you deaf?"Henley was angry and wanted to defend Elena. He rushed after Bryce and blocked his way.With a creepy smile on his face, Henley continued, "You mentioned me at the shop earlier. There were too many people, so I didn't hit you then. I said that if I met you again in the future, I would teach you how to behave. I didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon.""Out of the way." Bryce had nothing more to say."How dare you. I will kill you." Henley was enraged and was about to attack.However, there was a sudden calm voice, "Tambun, s
