Strategy Shadow Gate under the shroud of night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Danger lurked everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed could ascertain that these people were definitely not here for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they were indeed here to trouble him, they wouldn’t have been so late to realize it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, it seemed like there was no one in the Shadow Gate’s backyard at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All forces were likely on alert at the front gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this in mind, he headed straight to the room where the head of the household resided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the recent fight, Julius Reed had caught a glimpse of what seemed to be a surveillance room in the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reaching the head’s room, he pushed open a door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a small room of ten square meters, there was a large display screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On it were the surveillance feeds from various locations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the surveillance footage, Julius Reed found a row of people in black, standing at the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the disciples of Shadow Gate stood like they were facing a formidable enemy, blocking the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both sides were tense, with swords drawn and crossbows tight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation seemed ready to erupt at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Devlin…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the people in black at the entrance, Julius Reed could only think of Devlin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from him, no one else would dare to challenge Shadow Gate so openly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those people from the martial world were currently in Cook’s City, worried about how to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They couldn’t possibly make it to Shadow Gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leland Will and the vice manager had died by his hand, Julius Reed decided to lure the enemy into the pot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately took out his phone and called Templeton Lena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mad Dragon, how’s the situation over there?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon receiving the call, Templeton Lena asked excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bring your men and enter from the backyard immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remember to change into Shadow Gate clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We will wait for Devlin in the great hall!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Julius Reed finished speaking, he walked over to the clothes rack in the Shadow Gate head’s room and took down a black robe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he headed towards the great hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shadow Gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Headquarters main entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hundreds of Shadow Gate disciples held their weapons, eyeing the black-clad people intently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re all our own people, no need for this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devlin, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, stood in front of the Shadow Gate headquarters, leisurely said, “You know, I used to be friends with your head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in the days at the Seven Clouds Academy, he was my boss.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples of Shadow Gate remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if facing a great enemy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why so serious?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that no one was taking the bait, Devlin coughed awkwardly, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and walked forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop right there!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A projectile whizzed by, landing a meter in front of Devlin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take one more step, and you’ll be killed on the spot!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples of Shadow Gate shouted out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forget it then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devlin shrugged his shoulders and tossed the pack of cigarettes on the ground, then asked aloud, “Can I have a word with your head?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I’m leaving.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned away awkwardly, then suddenly shouted, “Attack!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cigarette pack he had thrown on the ground earlier burst into intense light!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this pitch-black night, it momentarily blinded the disciples of Shadow Gate!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cyber members, however, were already wearing protective goggles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost the moment Devlin issued the command, they rushed forward heedlessly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of projectile weapons erupted chaotically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blinded disciples of Shadow Gate couldn’t see clearly and triggered their weapons instinctively,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many fell by the hands of their brothers’ own weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few members of Cyber were hit, but supported by their steel will, they still charged forward like madmen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a minute later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bodies littered the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Utter chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood, spilled all over the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All hundred or so disciples guarding the main gate of Shadow Gate lay dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killed with a single strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go see an old friend,” Devlin said as he pulled out a cigarette from his pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blood-soaked cigarette.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eh!” He hesitated, then threw the cigarette on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was dirty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could no longer be lit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devlin looked at the pack of cigarettes in his hand, soiled with blood water, shook his head, and threw the whole pack aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He kept muttering to himself, “Sin!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, what a sin!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main gate of the Shadow Gate headquarters was particularly heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took a large number of poisonous eggs for the Cyber members to knock it down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dust had settled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was an exceptionally broad road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, they’re loaded!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devlin couldn’t help but exclaim, as he walked with his hands behind his back at the forefront.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devlin, be careful of an ambush!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Cyber member warned aloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shadow Gate was strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was not a soul on this road!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the moment they appeared until they entered the Shadow Gate base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had only encountered resistance at the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But those hundred-plus people were hardly elite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were just ordinary disciples of Shadow Gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shadow Gate didn’t dominate the area with just those people by the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But until now, they hadn’t seen anyone else!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a vast Shadow Gate, deserted!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s there to fear!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devlin was rather nonchalant, “Trust me, the leader of Shadow Gate isn’t someone ordinary people can compare with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m here today just to have a casual chat with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the way, have your people moved out yet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ve already dispatched people to the addresses you provided, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devlin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment, we have captured ten people!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten Divine Dragon Tripods, they’re on their way over,” Cyber members replied, keeping their eyes watching vigilantly around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where had the Shadow Gate’s people gone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time they reached the great hall’s entrance, they still hadn’t seen any other members of Shadow Gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devlin, something seems amiss…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyber members voiced their concern again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s just an empty fort strategy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devlin’s face was brimming with confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before coming here, he had done his research.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To protect the Divine Dragon Tripod, a large number of Shadow Gate members had left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The headquarters had long been an empty shell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the more dangerous a place, the safer it is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest of the people were being captured by Cyber outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devlin had come here himself, not wanting to miss the place most likely to have the Divine Dragon Tripod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creak…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they reached the entrance of the great hall, the iron gate slowly opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ƝονǤ0.сօ\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Be careful!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyber members raised their weapons, on alert as they looked inside the great hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Devlin paused cautiously in his stride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t supposed to happen…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There shouldn’t be anyone here!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had he miscalculated?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devlin!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the top of the great hall, on a throne fashioned from steel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice from a figure in black spoke out, “Please, come in!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do we do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone’s gaze turned towards Devlin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dragon’s den fraught with danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devlin hesitated briefly, then steeled his resolve, striding to the front!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was an empty fort strategy, he must not back down!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the group entered the great hall, they found many Shadow Gate disciples standing on either side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in the center, a man in black was seated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devlin inquired tentatively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was no response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Cyber members behind him stood on guard, their weapons aimed at the Shadow Gate disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re all here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why the silence?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devlin asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Odd, very odd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the iron door behind them slammed shut!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the man on the throne slowly went down the steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Devlin, long time no see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed took off his black cloak, smiling at Devlin in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Today, I want to see if beneath this mask, you still have the face from those years ago!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With those words, he picked up the sword of great twilight, closing the distance step by step.\u003C\u002Fp>",1357,"2026-06-06T17:05:24.005Z",1,"novelbin.me","77afc7e0cf762b9dea9a5db16a67903dbc1c20b3827cf0bff69e84b2ec093f0e","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-1183","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-1286",2546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flegend-of-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
