Chapter 2441

"Teresa Gallagher from the Gallagher family..."

Teresa turned to look at Marino.

"Marino Hansel..."

They both thought that perhaps the two of them could make a difference.

Marino turned around and prepared to go to bed.

...

"Twigg! Why is that guy here?!" Maxim asked, pointing at the elders.

"Is there something wrong?" one of the old women asked. "Isn't this competition open to the entire region?"

Maxim smacked the table and then left angrily.

He recalled what had happened back then.

His name was Huntley Twigg, the person who stopped Enid Goode and Damon Riggin. It did not matter who the man was but the ability and the last name he used.

"Twigg shouldn't be here."

While Maxim recalled the past, Huntley glanced in his direction.

"Yup, I was right. He definitely knows it!"

"What happened?!" Tobiah wailed in distress as he looked at his unconscious disciple.

Philemon came over, knelt beside the old man, and said, "Master Goldberg, forgive me for I have failed. I failed to stop Damon, so I ask of you..."

"No, this matter has nothing to do with you. Why did Damon go to great lengths for this? What's going on?

"Is he trying to make a name for himself?

"I would never do this as the leader of the sect, what more making a junior disciple sacrifice his life!"

Philemon nodded and said, "Master, if you put it this way, then... I'm afraid there's only one possibility..."

"What is it?" Tobiah asked.

Philemon said, "Who else has been suppressing us, wanting misfortune to befall our sect?"

"Are you referring to the Lindejon Collective? But..."

Philemon continued, "Master, regardless of whether they have other intentions or not, don't you think the Myriad Immortals Gathering this time is a bit too grand?"

"Oh? Please elaborate," Tobiah said eagerly.

"The Myriad Immortals Gathering is just a conference for their internal sect members, but now, it's suddenly open for people from all over the region to participate. Isn't it a bit too exaggerated?"

"Are you saying that Maxim has ulterior motives?"

Philemon nodded and continued, "I don't know if the Youngs or the immortal spirits managed to find a way to become gods. I only know that the Lindejon Collective took this opportunity to control almost everyone in the entire area.

"All the families felt the pressure. Even the Gallaghers and the Twiggs, who rarely show up, came."

"It's indeed a bit strange..."

"May I boldly suggest my humble opinion?"

"Speak."

"The Lindejon Collective is probably going to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of all the families that threaten them!"

Tobiah frowned and asked, "What you say makes sense, but would the Lindejon Collective really go to such an extreme?"

"Don't forget, Maxim is the current head of the Lindejon Collective, the same Maxim who has wiped out the entire area of immortal spirits. So, I think this so- called Myriad Immortals Gathering is just a fake event."

Tobiah remained silent, while Philemon continued, "I'm sure you remember that there's a strange array beneath these two venues. It's obvious that Maxim definitely has impure intentions. So, don't you think my speculation is possible?

"I'm afraid you haven't noticed, but the candidates who were eliminated were all from the Lindejon Collective while the top 50 qualifiers are basically the younger generations of various families.

"What if something bad happens to them in this competition? Do you think Maxim will take action?"
