Chapter 1124


    Even if that was the case, however, everything they owned still belonged to Gerald now.


    “You’d better sign the contract once I’ve retrieved the stone, you got that?” said Gerald as he tossed


    Zelda to the ground before all the other Minshalls.


    Upon leaving, the old master immediately burst into tears as he shouted, “That… That b*stard…! How


    dare he take everything away from us…!”


    He truly didn’t know how he was still alive after yesterday’s events. To think that they used to have such


    a happy and wonderful life… Now, however, it was all gone, and Gerald’s constant mockery only made


    it worse.


    If only his na?ve granddaughter hadn’t provoked that man, then everything would’ve been fine. Who


    would’ve thought that this man would be so unreasonable? He was a much bigger thief than all the


    Minshallsbined! He simply stole everything that he saw!


    For many years now, the Minshalls had been a well-known and almost noble-like family within Halimark


    City. Never had they felt this lowly before throughout their time here!


    “The water repellent stone is our family’sst treasure, grandpa! Even our ancestors have said though


    we can live without money and power, we’ll definitely crumble for good once we lose the stone!”


    “Indeed! All will be lost if he gets his hands on the stone!”


    All the younger generations of the Minshall family were currently shouting their thoughts as they


    gathered around Zelda.


    Of course, what they had all said was undoubtedly true. As long as they still had the water repellent


    stone, then their family would definitely still have a chance of prospering again, even if Gerald had


    taken away everything else. Zelda probably wouldn’t have to die so soon either if that were the case.


    However, once again, Gerald was changing their fortune.


    Thinking about it, Zelda’s expression suddenly turned fierce as he smiled before saying, “…What are


    all of you even worried about? Do you even think it’ll be that easy for him to obtain the water repellent


    stone? Quite honestly, I’d be overjoyed if he actually made it into the ancestral mines! Now that would


    truly be a blessing from our ancestors!”


    “…What? Why would you say that, grandpa?” asked Zoey.


    “You’ve been the smartest all this while, Zoey! How could you be such an idiot now? Have you already


    forgotten that we still have a trump card in our hands?”


    “A trump card?” asked the other Minshalls as their faces lit up.


    “I’m talking about the thousand years of poison, of course!” replied Zelda while gnashing his teeth


    fiercely.


    Upon hearing that, all the Minshalls immediately began exchanging nces in their surprise.


    The thousand years of poison was one of the Minshall family’s most ancient treasures. While many of


    the family’s grandchildren only thought that it was a myth, hearing that their grandfather mention it


    made them realize that the poison was real.


    If the rumors were true, it was said that even a single sniff of the poison was enough to cause the


    person’s internal organs to fester, regardless of how strong the person was.


    “While it’s true that none of us here are even close to being worthy opponents to him, I’d like to see


    how well he’ll be able to fare against the thousand years of poison! Hahaha!” dered Zelda in a


    ferocious manner.


    Standing up, he then shouted, “Issac! Zoey!”


    “Present!” shouted both of them simultaneously.


    “Remember what Master Ghost had advised us back then? He had told us that a family with no


    morality such as ours would always end up badly. He had also told us back then that we’d face a


    massive problem this year that would cost us our entire family! Now that all of this has happened, I


    want both of you to head over to him and ask him to read our family’s fortune again! More specifically,


    ask Master Ghost whether our family will be able to sessfully get over this problem, and if we will,


    ask when we’ll be able to regain our glory as well!” ordered Zelda.

    Following that, the old master got all the other Minshall family leaders to gather in the meeting room


    that was located in their backyard. They were going to have an urgent meeting…
