“A white Gothic mask?”

Upon hearing Kelsey’s words and somewhat surprised, Leo Ray’s expression turned serious, and he immediately became alert.

With a thought, a white metal mask engraved with a shield-shaped black cracked emblem and the number “00235” appeared in his hand, which he then handed over to Kelsey.

‘l’ne mysterious organization’s mask was acquired trom IV11cnael WOOd at tne Immortal Gate.

“My Lord, it’s exactly this strange emblem!”

After carefully examining the mask in Leo Ray’s hand, Kelsey blinked her elongated eyelashes and blurted out.

“Kelsey, have you seen such a white mask before?”

With a puzzled frown, Leo Ray immediately asked further.

“My Lord, indeed. Here’s what happened.”

Nodding slightly, Kelsey took a deep breath, her pretty face becoming enigmatic as she continued, “Just a month ago, a completely unexpected massacre occurred at an ancient ruin not far from Viennas City.”

The battling parties were the Viennas City Defense Army and mysterious people wearing these white masks.”

Through Kelsey’s detailed description, Leo Ray learned the following.

Apparently, some time ago, a small, unknown race’s ancient ruins buried in mud were discovered in a basin south of Viennas City.

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Viennas City immediately organized the city’s archaeological officials, leading five defense teams and the Sanders’ Trading Conference’s senior appraisers to investigate.

“And so, after several days of exploration, the investigation team eventually found an ancient metal chest with an unknown purpose, sealed deep within the ruins. It was this chest that drew the covetous eyes of the mysterious masked people.”

Upon hearing Kelsey’s account, Leo Ray couldn’t help but contemplate.

Beginning with the long-sealed Immortal Gate in the depths of Golin City’s abandoned mine, followed by the Elf City that had vanished during the Era of Blankness 3,000 years ago, and the mysterious ancient battlefield remains in the Mirage.

He had already had three more or less direct encounters with this mysterious and unfathomable powerful organization.

At present, it could be confirmed that the other party was deliberately searching for something in these ancient locations.

“It seems that the metal chest mentioned by Kelsey might be one of the targets of the mysterious organization. Perhaps there may be some clues on it, but this remains uncertain.”

Thinking of this, Leo Ray regained his spirits, gesturing to Amelia to bring more tea while continuing, “Kelsey, has the ancient metal chest been snatched away by the mysterious masked people?”

“My Lord, the reinforcements from the city arrived just in time, including myself and my father.”

“So, the mysterious masked people failed to take it away, and after collecting the bodies of their dead comrades, they fled in disgrace.”

“However, during the massacre, two Tier 3 elders from the Viennas City Lord’s family were killed on the spot.”

“As a result, the Viennas City Lord held this auction in order to avenge the two elders.”

“Oh? So there’s a deeper meaning to this Viennas City auction?”

Upon hearing this, Leo Ray took the tea cup offered by Amelia and couldn’t help but show a slightly surprised expression.

“My Lord, that’s indeed the case.”

Nodding slightly, Kelsey explained, “This Viennas City auction is divided into three parts: afternoon, evening, and night. The grand finale of the last night auction is that mysterious Ancient Chest!”

Fixing her bun hairstyle, Kelsey continued, “In addition, Lord, the Ancient

Chest is currently stored in the vault deep inside the Sanders’ Trading Conference.”ln it, there is an extremely powerful mini defensive barrier guarding it, so even a Tier 5 Powerhouse would not be able to take it away.”

“So that’s how it is…”

Upon hearing this, Leo Ray, who was holding a teacup, pondered for a

moment, and then asked further, “Kelsey, do you mean that the Lord of Viennas City intends to use the Ancient Chest to set a trap to attract members of the mysterious organization, in order to achieve his revenge?”

“Yes, that’s exactly it.”

On the other side, Kelsey solemnly nodded her head and said, “My Lord, this matter is extremely confidential, and only a very small number of people know about it. I happened to hear about it because my father, a Tier 4 Powerhouse, was part of the ambush crew.”

“What kind of powerhouse lineup has the Lord of Viennas City prepared?” Putting down the teacup in his hand, Leo Ray continued to inquire.

“My Lord, including the City Lord and my father, there are a total of five Tier 4

Powerhouses, and more than twenty Tier 3 Pinnacle Powerhouses and Tier 3

Senior Powerhouses.”

Kelsey once again bowed her fist and respectfully replied, “Most of them were hired by the City Lord, at great expense, from private forces such as the well-known Dragon Tooth Mercenary Corps of the Coldflame Kingdom.”

“Five Tier 4 Powerhouses, more than twenty Tier 3 Pinnacle Powerhouses, and Tier 3 Senior Powerhouses? If it’s against conventional forces, it’s indeed quite an impressive lineup.”

At this moment, watching the ripples in the teacup after putting it down,

Leo Ray couldn’t help but reveal a thoughtful expression, murmuring to himself, “It seems that the Lord of Viennas City still does not know enough about the mysterious organization.”

“My Lord, what do you mean…?”

With a puzzled look on her face, Kelsey blinked and asked.

On the other hand, Leo Ray didn’t hesitate to recount the clues he had about the mysterious organization to Kelsey.

“There are at least seven Tier 5 Powerhouses in the organization?!”

Upon hearing this, Kelsey incredulously widened her eyes and hurriedly said,

“My Lord, isn’t my father in grave danger then?”

“Don’t panic, the influence of this mysterious organization is spread across many human nations, and many times they operate simultaneously at various locations, with their personnel being rather scattered. Therefore, it’s not certain that a Tier 5 Powerhouse will appear this time.”

Leo Ray waved his hand slightly, signaling Kelsey not to worry, and then immediately spoke, “However, just in case, let’s think of a way to verify this matter.”

“Verify? My Lord, how do we go about verifying?”

Upon hearing this, Kelsey scratched her head and asked, somewhat bewildered.

“Kelsey, after encountering the assassination of the mysterious organization, the City Lord and you must have already suspected the issue of internal traitors, right?”

After a brief ponder, Leo Ray picked up the teacup and took a sip of hot tea, then asked.

“My Lord, indeed.”

Nodding slightly, Kelsey replied, “At the time when the Ancient Chest was excavated, only the City Lord’s side, my father, and Clyde Thompson’s father, who was the deputy chairman, had learned of this information.

However, since Clyde himself and his father were not at the scene during the attack and even participated in the subsequent rescue operation,

together with the identity of the Sanders family’s direct line, they were excluded from suspicion. After multiple investigations by the City Lord’s side, no clues were found.

Therefore, the matter teetered out, and everyone now believes that the investigative team must have been targeted by the mysterious organization before the box was even dug up.”

“Perhaps you have overlooked another detail.”

With a faint smile, Leo Ray slowly said..
