<h4>Chapter 2190: Chapter 2190: Interrogation</h4>


    Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance?


    It seems the dragon king’s temple flooded with its own water, family members not recognizing each other.


    But if it really is the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, who would dare to call ’Julius Reed’ a Mr. Guilt?


    There might be a connection.


    But enemies are connections too, just like friends are connections.


    Anyone who can disgust the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance like this is probably not a friend.


    If Julius Reed believed Atticus Reed, then his brain truly is damaged.


    "Who told you? Actually, I don’t believe it. If you are here keeping watch, how can you not know the inside of the Gills Alliance? However, as you see, there are two bodies on the ground."


    He pointed to the two ck-clothed men he had cut in half on the ground and added menacingly, "The fact that I can kill people here shows I am well-prepared. If you tell the truth, I won’t kill you; but if you deliberately conceal the truth, don’t me me for being ruthless."


    Then, he lifted his sword and pressed it against Atticus Reed’s neck: "I killed Felix Reed, so I can’t kill you?"


    "What?" These words made Atticus Reed’s body tremble.


    Felix Reed is dead?


    His senior brother was killed?


    Although they were fellow disciples, they were rarely together over the years.


    Atticus Reed was responsible for overseeing the Gills Alliance, maintaining order here, acting as an enforcer and head of security.


    While Felix Reed was always Cassius Reed’s most trusted disciple, often sent out on missions.


    They couldn’t see each other more than a few times a year.


    A few days ago, he had really heard that Felix Reed went out on some top-secret mission.


    Could it be...


    Thinking of this, Atticus Reed was scared out of his wits!


    During the short exchange earlier, he was already impressed by Julius Reed’s ability.


    He knew full well that he was not a match.


    Atticus Reed hypothesized that even if Felix Reed faced this person, there would probably be no chance of winning.


    So strong!


    The attack was quick, urate, and ruthless!


    To the point where, before Atticus Reed could even make a move, he had already lost.


    "Damned Felix Reed, who else could he offend, why did he have to provoke some masters!" he cursed inwardly, estimating Felix Reed had implicated him before dying.


    Otherwise, how could the visitor know his identity?


    Furthermore, thinking that he was forced toe out because Eliezer Pine was almost taken advantage of, made him even more afraid.


    It’s simply a conspiracy!


    Atticus Reed rarely showed up, today was an ident.


    Looking back now, it should be all carefully orchestrated by the person in front of him to lure him out!


    "Master, I’ll say, ask me anything, and I’ll tell everything!" Atticus Reed moved his throat, swallowed, "You scared me earlier, got me confused, I just came to my senses. I promise, whatever I remember, I’ll tell you!"


    He was really afraid.


    Preserving his life was important.


    Everything else was outside matters.


    Apanion may die, but not oneself.


    "Then tell me, who is the boss behind the Gills Alliance? And what is the connection with the so-called Hidden Gate?"


    Julius Reed was very eager to know what the so-called Hidden Gate was about.


    Also, what are the differences between the current and the past Thunderpeak Hall?


    After Devlin’s death, Lucien Radcliffe also disappeared.


    Now, ording to Atticus Reed, it seems Lucien Radcliffe became the leader of the new Thunderpeak Hall, called the Witch.


    "Master, I really don’t know."


    Atticus Reed said helplessly and bitterly, "I want to know about it too, but my rank isn’t high enough. Except for my master, no one knows the connections between these two."


    After thinking for a bit, he added, "But I’ve heard that the existence of the Gills Alliance is for gathering information and conducting secret transactions?"


    "Continue, tell me everything you know. And, you, when did you join Thunderpeak Hall?" Julius Reed asked calmly.


    Regarding this, Julius Reed could almost guess what gathering information was about.


    Quite simple, being able to assemble so many martial artists, if it’s not even useful for gathering information, wouldn’t it be a waste?


    However, putting in such effort, such arge-scale project, is it merely for gathering information?


    It would be too tant.


    "A few months ago, my master brought me to join Thunderpeak Hall. Originally, we were itinerant practitioners from Boulevard Mountain, but as you know, the Caldwell Family tossed and turned, almost killing all martial artists from Boulevard Mountain. So, my master led us to join Thunderpeak Hall."


    Atticus Reed scratched his head, spread his hands, "As for the history of Thunderpeak Hall, I don’t know. I only know that the person in charge now is called Lucien Radcliffe, and we call her the Witch, everything is under her responsibility."


    He seemed worried that Julius Reed wouldn’t believe him, and his eyes were full of sincerity, "Brother, Felix Reed is Felix Reed, I am myself, we’re just disciples under the same master."


    "Okay, onest question." Julius Reed sat on the bed, gently stroking the sword with his hand, "Do you know what the leader of the Hidden Gate looks like? Or any distinctive features?"


    This is what Julius Reed most wanted to know.


    If he could determine the characteristics of someone’s appearance, he could probably deduce who it is in the current top martial artist circle.


    The small circle had its benefits.


    "It seems... it’s an olddy?" Atticus Reed thought for a moment, uncertainly said, "I did hear my master curse her once, calling her an old fatdy who can really cause trouble. But specifically, I just don’t know."


    "Old fatdy?" Julius Reed suddenly thought of Granny Xihua.


    That olddy originally was a part of Thunderpeak Hall, now that Devlin is dead, Lucien Radcliffe can take the position at Thunderpeak Hall.


    Moreover, this Thunderpeak Hall is a newly reassembled one, much stronger than before.


    I suppose that the Hidden Gate is where Granny Xihua resides.


    But...


    What allows Granny Xihua to be in that position?


    In terms of ability, Granny Xihua does not rank in the martial arts world today.


    How could she manage all the martial artists below?


    "I really don’t know specifically." Atticus Reed sincerely wanted to know, but he was genuinely unaware.


    "Who else is responsible for the security here? You’re too weak to manage it all alone, right?" Julius Reed asked.


    "Actually, it’s that you are too strong, I am not that weak. Besides, there are indeed others maintaining order here. I know there’s an old monster from the Hidden Gate, who is also stationed here. If we encounter something we can’t handle, he’ll take action."


    Atticus Reed dared not conceal anything.


    "I haven’t seen the old monster, nor do I know anything about him. In any case, no one has made him take action personally yet."


    "Alright, got it. If you don’t want to die, stay here. After I finish with things, you can leave." Julius Reed delivered a punch to the back of Atticus Reed’s neck, knocking him out.


    Eliezer Pine was still sound asleep on the bed, but it seemed the drugged effect was particrly strong.


    She was drenched in sweat, thoroughly wet.


    Julius Reed closed the door properly and returned to the living room.
