<h4>Chapter 2394: Chapter 2394: The Counterattack</h4>


    "Hume Rose, there are some things I must tell you," Brantley Rose began seriously, "Our Rose family does notck people, nor do we need anyone’s help. But the biggest problem right now is that we don’t know who took it."


    "Hasn’t Jayceon Rose returned? Hang him up and beat him; I don’t believe he won’t talk!" The thought of his son’s death reignited Hume Rose’s restrained fury.


    "It’s useless," Julius Reed spoke leisurely from the side, "When I encountered Jayceon Rose, he was already being pursued. I’ve asked him about the situation; in fact, he doesn’t know who the person is."


    "How is that possible!" Hume Rose shot to his feet, pointing at Julius Reed, "I warn you, if you’re lying to me, you’ll die a horrible death!"


    "Rx, I’ve already investigated thoroughly and also have my own intelligence. The only question now is what use that object has." Julius Reed leaned forward, speaking sincerely, "You think if someone stole this item, they might not know how to use it? Either there’s a mole in the Rose family or the other party isn’t simple."


    "In either case, it’s extremely detrimental to your Rose family. Besides, the item is lost - do you still hope to keep the secret?"


    "What’s most important for you right now? Time! Dy even a minute in recovering it, and your Rose family’s situation will be very passive!"


    Julius Reed’s rapid questioning left Hume Rose somewhat bewildered.


    Listening beside them, Brantley Rose felt his heart pounding with uncertainty and, having taken advantage of Julius Reed, added fuel to the fire. "Yes, since the other party came prepared to steal this item, we must be cautious and prudent. Anyway, this secret is hard to keep and there’s nothing worth hiding."


    Their words made Hume Rose waver.


    Originally, he hadn’t nned to reveal the secret, but listening to them, he found their points indeed reasonable.


    Being able to steal this item shows knowledge of its secret.


    Seeing the treasure has been lost for several days without any information, he’s equally anxious.


    The Rose family indeed has strength, but with no enemy in sight, it’s wasted power without an outlet.


    "Family Head, we’ve interrogated; Jayceon Rose truly doesn’t know who took the object and said he was nearly beaten to death."


    At this moment, a Rose family member walked in from the doorway.


    The member approached Hume Rose respectfully, whispering, "The lie detector you requested has been arranged; this fellow indeed hasn’t lied. ording to Jayceon Rose, the reason he’s still alive is that the person in front of him drove the perpetrator away."


    "Such a thing?" Now, Hume Rose waspletely convinced.


    Detail-oriented underneath, after returning from seclusion and learning the truth, he promptly arranged the purchase of a lie detector.


    Now it’s in use.


    Combining Jayceon Rose’s words, it shows the youth before them indeed has capability and knows the whereabouts and adversary of the item.


    Thus, coboration seems to be the only way out.


    Only by cooperating can everyone get what they need.


    "Alright, since that’s the case, I’ll trust you this once. If you’re lying, prepare to die!" Hume Rose waved his hand, and the Rose family member in front of him immediately stepped back.


    The hall fell silent, everyone waiting for Hume Rose to speak.


    "Inside the Lotus Shadow, there’s a secret. Actually, the secret is simple; inside are texts, fragmented texts! Just by sitting cross-legged before the Golden Lotus, one can experience scenes from inside."


    "Those scenes depict peculiar cultivation techniques; by following the mental techniques within, a martial artist can rapidly advance their skills in a short time!"


    "However, this item has a drawback: it can only be viewed once every thirty years. Yesterday marked another thirty years," Hume Roseid out everything he knew, but he kept a little in reserve.


    The texts have a w; after cultivating, they leave a heart demon within.


    The Rose family’s two n Leaders, because the martial arts n Leader needs to be secluded in a cloister built by the Rose family, to resist this heart demon.


    If staying outside for a long time, they’d be consumed by the heart demon.


    Once a Rose ancestor went mad.


    The Rose family’s strongest force, their most secretive guard, are Rose family members who’ve cultivated the same Yellow Path Lotus Shadow as Hume Rose.


    These people remain in the cloister long-term, yet theirbat strength is astounding!


    Once they emerge, they can stir up chaos in the martial arts world!


    So rarely do they appear.


    Moreover, the texts they cultivate are even more sinister.


    Extremely difficult to control.


    "Can you show me a move?" Julius Reed pondered briefly before asking.


    "Alright." Hume Rose extended his right hand, suddenly thrusting toward Julius Reed!


    Pa!


    Julius Reed reacted swiftly, blocking with his palm in front!


    This startled Brantley Rose beside him, fearing the two were about to fight.


    "Good skills." Hume Rose retracted his fingers, nodding, "You’re stronger than I thought."


    "You’re strong too," Julius Reed wasn’t looking particrly happy. "With that settled, I’ll first go lead people to seek the Yellow Path Lotus Shadow, and notify you at the first sign of news."


    Saying that, he got up and left.


    Watching his retreating figure, Hume Rose deepened his voice, "Go, follow him, keep me posted at all times. Once there’s news of the treasure, I’ll promptly lead people there."


    "Yes!"


    From behind the hall emerged several ck-d individuals.


    "This..." Brantley Rose voiced his surprise, "Isn’t this a bit much?"


    "Desperate times," Hume Rose turned and left.


    Exiting the Rose family gates, Julius Reed got into a vehicle, driving into the distance.


    After several dozen miles, he stopped the car.


    Vanishing into the woods.


    Meanwhile, the Rose family members tailing him cautiously pursued.


    A living person can’t just vanish.


    "Strange, did he notice us, abandon the car, and secretly sneak away?"


    One Rose family member scratched his head.


    "Impossible, we’re keeping such a distance and our trail is discreet, no one could detect us."


    No sooner had the words fallen than Julius Reed appeared behind them.


    "Apologies. I’m not human; I’m divine."


    Snap!


    With a strike, both Rose family members were instantly lifeless.


    Dusk gradually descended.


    Julius Reed approached the Rose family outskirts.


    Brantley Rose was waiting for him there.


    "I tell you, if Hume Rose finds out, it’ll be my end!" Brantley Rose anxiously led Julius Reed, opening a discreet door at the rear.


    "Don’t worry, I won’t treat you badly," Julius Reed patted Brantley Rose’s shoulder, entering the Rose estate with him.


    He donned a Rose family servant’s attire, following behind Brantley Rose.


    "That’s where they retreat, but I must warn you, it’s very dangerous there and no one has gone," Brantley Rose started to regret.


    "Understood." Julius Reed darted into the darkness.
