<h4>Chapter 2370: Chapter 2370: Scheming</h4>


    "Lotus seed?"


    Julius Reed immediately understood what was happening upon hearing it.


    Could the lotus seed from that year have now grown into a lotus flower?


    This thing can still grow?


    "That’s right. Back in the day, Alvar Rose was rewarded for his achievements. As the boss of the martial arts world in the southeast, he also led the effort to join the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, making him an exemry representative. To reduce conflicts in the martial arts world, Silvio Reed met with Alvar Rose, and I personally delivered a lotus seed to him."


    Dragon Wu smoothly recounted the events of that year.


    "That lotus seed was not an ordinary object. Alvar Rose’s standards were very high as the boss of the southeast martial arts world. As far as I know, that seed came from the Nine-Kings Mountain. It’s said that it was once the dwelling of a god. There, there is a Lotus Stand, which some im was once sat upon by the god, although no one knows for sure if it’s true."


    "No one, including Silvio Reed, has ever seen what this so-called god looks like or what powers it possesses. In other words, this god was essentially concocted, with people specting that there must be such a god; otherwise, many things cannot be exined."


    "The Lotus Stand is extraordinary. As long as you sit on it, you can feel a surging power. Unfortunately, the stand is severely damaged, significantly reducing its effectiveness."


    "At the time, there were three lotus seeds on the Lotus Stand. One was worn around Silvio Reed’s neck, another was given to Alvar Rose, and as for the third, I do not know. By then, I had already taken refuge in the realm of gods."


    Dragon Wu revealed everything she knew.


    Well aware that Julius Reed had taken her powers, Dragon Wu was aware she couldn’t hide anything.


    "Lotus seed? Lotus Shadow of the zodiac, could it truly have developed from a lotus seed? But Golden Toad had been in hiding for thousands of years and suddenly stole it, what could that mean?" Julius Reed was unaware of the events of the past and couldn’t make conjectures most of the time.


    "You could say, Golden Toad is also healing, just like that Dragon Kun." He looked toward Trent Marsh.


    "Golden Toad wasn’t injured. This guy only ever listens to my fourth brother. If he hasn’t shown up, there’s only one reason; fourth brother hasn’t contacted him. Now that he’s here, it must be fourth brother’s intention." Trent Marsh, with his chin in hand, looked out the window and murmured, "Fourth brother, what do you mean by this? Why retrieve the lotus seed sent away back then?"


    "Perhaps, at that time, your environment was unsuitable for cultivating the lotus seed. Or perhaps the ce where the Alvar family resides is suitable for its growth. There’s also the possibility that Silvio Reed knew something would happen to the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance and preemptively ced the lotus seed in a safe location," Julius Reed analyzed, "The Alvar family is the southeast boss; if the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance crumbled, no one would dare touch them."


    In those days, when Julius Reed established the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance and ascended to the throne on Demarco Mount, he had also met with people from the Alvar family.


    But by then, Alvar Rose was already dead.


    The Alvar family in the southeast indeed held formidable power. Not only was their family strong, but the crucial factor was the extraordinary unity of the southeast martial arts, closely allied with the Alvar family.


    To provoke the Alvar family would mean waging war against the southeast martial arts world.


    At that time, Julius Reed adopted a policy of autonomy, where as long as the Alvar family made regr offerings, the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance wouldn’t intervene in southeast matters.


    In hindsight, the Alvar family’s strength stemmed fundamentally from their ancestors’ achievements.


    Ancient martial artists!


    The Alvar family were ancient martial artists but hid it so well that Julius Reed always believed ancient martial artists had long disappeared.


    "That, I am not sure about. If you want to know, go catch Golden Toad." Dragon Wuy on the bed, extending a leg while looking at Julius Reed, "Should we let Trent Marsh step out for a bit so we can rest?"


    "Shameless!" Trent Marsh’s teeth ground together audibly, "Julius Reed, the prettier the woman, the more vicious, and the more dangerous she is."


    "My twelfth brother can hear my thoughts, what is there to fear?" Dragon Wu chuckled lightly, casting a seductive nce at Julius Reed, "Right, brother?"


    "Trent, go to Jayceon Rose’s room for a bit," Julius Reed pushed Trent Marsh, ushering him out of the room.


    "Julius Reed, I never thought you were like this! Women are a cmity, women are a disaster, you..."


    Bam!


    The door mmed shut tightly.


    "Come on..." Dragon Wu licked her lips, slightly squinting her eyes.


    Like a cute little cat.


    "I have something to ask you." Julius Reed wasn’t in the mood for romance; he was a saint, uninterested in matters between men and women.


    "Go ahead..." Dragon Wu said with a mischievous smile.


    "I..." Julius Reed approached, bending down to look directly into Dragon Wu’s eyes, "I heard that having rtions with you causes people to gradually lose their memory and then die?"


    Upon hearing this, the smile on Dragon Wu’s face vanished instantly, and her demeanor became extremely tense.


    "How do you know?" She narrowed her eyes, her body involuntarily tensing.


    "You weren’t honest with me, and I’m very disappointed." Julius Reed spoke calmly.


    It seemed this matter was indeed true.


    He had to resolve it quickly.


    A person who loses their memory could never realize it.


    "That’s true, but you must answer me; how do you know?" Dragon Wu’s face turned somewhat pale, losing her previous natural charm.


    "I read the items you left for the descendants of the Dragon family." Julius Reed straightened up, speaking from above, "There were many things you wanted tomunicate to the Dragon family in there, but no one saw it because those who did are dead."


    "Dead? I’m also curious as to why the items I sent back hadn’t elicited a response from the Dragon family. ck Dragon could stay there for thousands of years undisturbed. You know, I’ve been investigating ck Dragon but haven’t found a single clue."


    Dragon Wu raised her head and said, "Aren’t you curious why I never returned to the Dragon family? Because to me, the Dragon family isn’t the enemy. Whether it’s Dragon Kun or ck Dragon."


    "I am an iplete person, born cursed," she smiled faintly, "but now, the curse has transferred, onto you."


    "Dragon Kun set a dragon soul in your item, so anyone who sees it will be killed by the dragon soul. That’s why your messages weren’t received."


    After exining to Dragon Wu, Julius Reed asked rhetorically, "So it’s just memory loss?"


    "No, it’s seeing through a person’s heart." Dragon Wu extended her hand, drawing a circle on Julius Reed’s chest, "In this world, there is gain and loss. Do you think I have this ability for no reason? It’s a curse because I have the so-called blood of the god inside me. It is precisely this thing that gives me this ability, but it also causes my forgetfulness."


    "Now, I seem to remember a bit."


    Dragon Wu raised her head, opened her mouth, and blinked, "I remember now, many things were actually arranged by me. Dragon Kun and ck Dragon are indeed my subordinates."


    "I forgot those things, which is why I said what I did. In turn, Dragon Kun added something to it."


    "Master, do you understand now?" Dragon Wu raised a pistol, aiming it at Julius Reed’s head.
