With a cold smirk on his face, Ilias looked at Tyler, his voice tinged with amusement as he asked, “What do you think?”
Tyler’s face showed utter surprise. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t have guessed it.
Tyler scoffed disdainfully. “Do you think I’m a child? Why are you asking me to guess?”
Ilias laughed and replied, “Since you’re not guessing, I’ll tell you. The reason I found this place is because your brother Oscar told me.”
“Nonsense! That’s impossible! This can’t be…”
Tyler shook his head. “Even though Oscar has always wanted to join the Demon Seal Alliance, he would never reveal such a confidential location of the Summers family to you!”
He simply couldn’t believe it.
This place is the Summers family’s sanctuary! How could Oscar possibly reveal it so casually to others? Even though Oscar held political views that clashed with mine, it was impossible for him to do anything that would harm the entire Summers family!
“You don’t believe me?” Ilias asked.
Tyler shook his head. “No, of course I don’t. It’s impossible for Oscar to do such a thing.”
“Since you don’t believe me, then I’ll show you who your brother really is.”
Ilias pulled out a map, clearly marking the location.
He even brought out the secret scrolls of the Summers family and laid them all out before Tyler.
Looking at everything before him, Tyler wanted to disbelieve, yet he had no choice but to believe.
“That monster!” Tyler yelled furiously.
He hadn’t expected that Oscar would actually betray the entire Summers family.
If it was merely a contest for the position of family head, for the sake of the family’s development, Tyler was willing to relinquish his position.
But now, Oscar had crossed a line by betraying the entire Summers family.
This is absolutely heinous and unforgivable.
Spurt!
Overwhelmed, Tyler spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and in his fury, he passed out.
Ilias ordered his men to lift up Tyler and, along with Jacques, he directly brought the two back to the Henningsen residence.
A member of the Henningsen family asked in confusion, “Mr. Henningsen, why haven’t we killed this guy yet? What are we keeping him for?”
“He is still useful, so he can’t die yet,” Ilias replied.
He then glanced at the Henningsen family’s backyard and asked, “How is Mr. Rueben doing?”
“Mr. Rueben has been falling ill less frequently lately. However, his meridians have been damaged. It might be quite difficult for him to cultivate in the future,” said the member of the Henningsen family.
With a disappointed expression, Ilias nodded and said, “I understand. You must keep a close watch on Tyler. He absolutely cannot be allowed to escape, and most importantly, he must not be allowed to die.”
“Understood!” The member of the Henningsen family turned around and left.
After the Henningsen family members left, Ilias leaped forward, his body disappearing in an instant.
Quickly, Ilias appeared beside a pond. This massive pond was filled entirely with ink-green water.
A few men were seated hundreds of meters away from the pool.
Upon seeing Ilias arrive, several men promptly stood up.
A man walked up to Ilias and whispered, “Mr. Henningsen, we have already disabled a portion of the arcane array around the Holy Pond. We believe that in about a year and a half, we could have completely disabled it.”
“Starting from tomorrow, you won’t need to disable the arcane array anymore. I’ve found others to do it. You all should rest instead,” Ilias said expressionlessly.
Ilias had invested a significant amount of money in hiring these experts who were knowledgeable in the art of arcane arrays. However, even after several months, they had only managed to partially disable a small portion of the arcane array.
The reason Ilias wanted to disable the arcane arrays was because this Holy Pond had the ability to reshape one’s bones and restore their meridians. Ilias intended for his son to benefit from this Holy Pond.
The only problem was that the Holy Pond was protected by a complex arcane array. In order to soak in the Holy Pond, one would first need to break through this protective barrier.
It was unfortunate that there were very few individuals in the Ethereal Realm who possessed a deep understanding of arcane arrays. Furthermore, those who claimed to be experts were actually amateurs with no real skills.
The array masters that Ilias had invited were no exception. Although Ilias was dissatisfied, he did not dare to voice his complaints.
This was also the reason why Ilias had been trying hard to persuade the Summers family to join the Demon Seal Alliance.
By doing so, he could take advantage of the Summers family’s assistance. When it came to the art of magecraft and charms, the Summers family was truly impressive.
Now that Tyler had been captured, Ilias no longer had any use for these so-called masters of arcane arrays who lacked genuine skills.
