Chapter 1002
After several twists and turns, Registus arrived at a secret chamber.
“Master, I have something to report.”
“Come in.”
Registus pushed open the door and entered.
Inside the chamber was an elderly man. He looked kind and benevolent as he meditated. It was none other than Old
Hagstorm, who everyone believed to have fallen off a cliff.
“Speak up. What’s the matter?”
Old Hagstorm slowly opened his eyes and looked at Registus in front of him.
Registus immediately said, “Just a moment ago, Andrius took the Central Warzone forces and destroyed the henchmen
of the Swallows, the Hardy family of the Jade Estate.”
“Hm,” Old Hagstorm responded indifferently, not reacting much.
On the other hand, Registus was anxious.
“Master, this is no small matter.” He said urgently, “These years, the ancient martial families appear to be detached from worldly
affairs, not participating in controlling Florence. However, each ancient martial family has been supporting some families, turning
them into their pawns, scattered throughout Florence
“Some gather information, and some provide resources. All this creates significant value and benefits for the ancient martial
families. In return, the ancient martial families provide protection to these families. It’s a mutually beneficial arrangement, and
they work closely together.
“Until now, Florence has turned a blind eye to these families as long as they did not go too far. Everyone
minded their own business.
“Now, Andrus‘ loud and public destruction of the Hardy family has disrupted this status quo. It’s like a butterfly effect. It’s bound to
arouse the displeasure of the ancient martial families.
“If the families unite to take action, it’ll surely cause turmoil.”
Registus‘ worries were not unreasonable. Furthermore, it was indeed a very possible outcome.
Old Hagstorm glanced at Registus and asked casually, “Turmoil?”
“Is a great battle between the Medicine Sect and the Swallow family not turmoil? Is the Ancient Martial Assembly not turmoil?”
Old Hagstorm’s rhetorical questions left Registus speechless.
“It’s just removing a pawn.” Old Hagstorm snorted, “The martial world won’t experience significant or more over this. The masters
looking down from above don’t care about the life and death of ants. They only care about their own interests.
“Besides, the ancient martial world is currently in a state of chaos. To thoroughly reorganize and establish a new order, we
muster up and muddy the waters of the martial world! Andrius‘ actions are merely a catalyst, creating opportunities.”
Registus smiled wryly. “Master, that’s not what I’m worried about. I’m not afraid of the ancient martial families.
“What I’m worried about is that Andrius acted too conspicuously, which might upset the ancient martial

families and cause them to unite and attack him. Take what happened to the Kleins for example.”
2/2
Old Hagstorm pondered for a moment, then waved his hand, saying, “It’s fine. Let Andrius stir up trouble.
“The bigger the mess, the better. Hopefully, he’ll thoroughly stir up the waters, and we can get the most substantial
benefit during the Ancient Martial Assembly.”
The Ancient Martial Assembly...
Registus paused for a moment, deep in thought.
Then, he asked, “Master, what exactly is the Klein family’s treasure? Why don’t you just tell Andrius directly instead of
making things so complicated?”
The Klein family’s treasure!
That was the core of the entire situation in the ancient martial world.
Old Hagstorm suddenly laughed. He looked up at the luminescent pearls on the ceiling, and his eyes twinkled with an
inexplicable gleam.
“Twenty years ago, during the time the Klein family was exterminated, they already found the treasure. All the secrets
and treasures combined to form two words.”
Registus‘ expression tensed, and he asked eagerly, “What two words?”
