The abyss was dark. However, Andre could clearly see the figure at the entrance of the ninth floor. He thought that the other party could not see him as he was almost one with the darkness. He did not immediately shout at him. Instead, he gradually held onto the weapons in the wall and slowly climbed up.

At that moment, all the lights in the abyss had disappeared. Other than Vincent, no one could see where Andre was.

Just as Vincent had guessed, Andre had memorized all the gaps along the path. He climbed up smoothly and was even able to jump around in the darkness. He was gradually approaching the entrance of the ninth floor.

After seeing that the surroundings had fallen into darkness again, Dave could not help but ask, “Where is my father?”

Vincent raised his chin and said softly, “He has already gone up. He has discovered Myron and is anxious to go up and confirm his identity!”

Dave nodded and said, “The City Lord has ordered to clear the area. To think that there are still individuals staying in Hell’s Rose. I believe that even if the other party is not Myron, it will still be enough to scare my father. But what should we do next?”

Vincent thought for a moment and said, “This abyss is a little strange. It seems that we are unable to use any of our flying abilities. Other than some extremely special items, anyone or anything flying in the abyss will be sucked back down into the abyss. Therefore, as long as we cut off Andre’s escape route, he will not be able to return to the cave entrance!”

Dave nodded and said, “Do you think his formation must be carried out here, or can it still be carried out on the ninth floor? If it’s the latter, then whether we destroy the path leading to the cave would no longer be as important!”

Vincent thought for a moment. He could not help but sigh, “I think he can still prepare the formation on the ninth floor. It’s just that Andre didn’t want anyone to discover the traces he left behind, so he sneaked into a hidden cave to set up the formation! In that case, it’s best not to move the weapons for the time being. Who knows, we might come and explore them in the future!”

Dave nodded and said, “Then let’s go up and take a look. As long as father discovers Myron’s existence, a great battle will definitely break out. Regardless of the outcome, we should take a closer look. This is a rare battle between experts!”

Vincent nodded. He then controlled the platform to rise slowly.

At this moment, on the ninth-floor platform, Myron was looking down at the abyss with a blank expression. He had just seen a cave using the Eye of the Devil. There seemed to be a ray of light overflowing from the cave. After that, intense flames filled the entire screen that he was looking at.

Immediately after that, the Eye of the Devil completely disappeared. No matter how Myron tried, he was unable to communicate with the Eye of the Devil again. It was as if this high-level special equipment had suddenly disappeared.

Myron lowered his head and looked down at the abyss with his naked eyes. He could not see anything. He had no idea if Andre had already discovered his existence. However, he was unwilling to give up trying to find the whereabouts of the Eye of the Devil.

Ever since Myron took over Hell’s Rose in secret, he had gradually discovered the abnormality of City Lord Andre. Naturally, Myron had to pay special attention to his greatest enemy who had defeated him in the past. Therefore, he had to try every means possible to find out what Andre was doing down there.

Not long ago, Myron had personally left Hell’s Rose to purchase the Eye of the Devil outside the city. He wanted to use this special equipment that could spy on everything to investigate Andre’s every move!

Although Myron had lost his vision, he had completely familiarized himself with Andre’s movements after so many years of observation. Under normal circumstances, Andre would still need a long time to return from the underground, thus, Myron relied on the laws he knew to stand confidently on the ninth-floor platform. He was trying his best to find traces of the Eye of the Devil. Little did he know that Andre was already on his way back.

Meanwhile, Vincent and Dave had already returned to the ninth-floor entrance. They were observing him through the space tunnel.

Dave sighed blankly, “What is he looking for? If he doesn’t hide now, when my father comes to the ninth floor, he will be dead!”

Although it had been twenty years, Dave was uncertain if Myron’s strength had improved. However, he knew that his father’s strength had been improving steadily over the years. This should have something to do with him constantly seizing the Origin Divine Earth. If so, it would be impossible for Myron to surpass his father’s cultivation, and he would even be left far behind!

Vincent sighed softly from the side, “It seems that the Eye of the Devil did not provide him with a comprehensive vision. He was unable to see clearly what was going on down there. That’s why he’s completely unaware of his own situation!”

Dave nodded and said to Vincent, “What do you think my father’s reaction would be if he saw Myron? Would he directly fight in anger?”

Vincent shook his head and said, “I don’t know! But I’m more curious about what Myron’s reaction would be when he sees Andre suddenly appearing in front of him.”

The two of them discussed the old enemies that had started a feud twenty years ago with a wicked interest.

Myron, on the other hand, was at a loss. Suddenly, Andre stepped onto the platform of the ninth floor and emerged from the darkness. His eyes were filled with shock and astonishment as he looked at the white-haired Dark Elf in front of him.

Andre frowned and asked, “Myron? You’re not dead!”

Although his tone was filled with doubt and fear, he did not have the intention to immediately attack. Instead, he walked up to Myron in a calm manner.

Myron was very confused because he did not understand why Andre had deviated from his usual routine. He had returned to the platform on the ninth floor in advance.

“Andre, you… Why are you here?”

Myron, who had always been a calm elder, asked Andre with a panicked expression. At the same time, he accidentally exposed the fact that he had been secretly observing Andre for many years.

Andre frowned and said in a deep voice, “All these years, I have been paying attention to the boss of Hell’s Rose. Unfortunately, I have no leads. Today, it seems to me that you are the boss of Hell’s Rose! You don’t have to panic because you will have no chance of surviving. So now, while you are still alive, you should say a few more words. After all, we are old friends who have known each other for decades. Before you die, we should talk about old times!”

After hearing the strong killing intent in Andre’s tone, Myron became much calmer. After tidying up his robe, he raised his hand and said to Andre, “Since you want to reminisce about the past, please come to my room. Let’s sit down and have a chat!”

Andre nodded and replied, “Okay!”

He smiled confidently and took the lead to walk into the corridor on the ninth floor. He was not worried that Myron would take the opportunity to escape.

Myron looked at Andre’s confident back and could not help but glance in the direction of the lift platform from the corner of his eyes. In the end, he sighed silently and followed Andre to his room.

Andre, who was walking in front, said confidently without turning his head back, “Myron, you seem more sensible than before. You know that you can’t escape under my eyes! If you stepped onto the lift platform just now, your head and body would have been separated long ago!”

Myron, who was following behind, narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, “Don’t worry! I have been hiding for so many years. This time, I don’t want to hide anymore. Moreover, there are some things that I want to explain to you face to face!”

“That’s what I want!”

Andre’s tone was full of arrogance. He pushed open the door of the auctioneer’s office and walked straight in.

Myron, who entered the door immediately after, sighed softly and slowly closed the door.

Vincent and Dave, who had seen all of this, looked at each other in tacit understanding. Under Vincent’s control, the two of them walked toward the wall together.

The space tunnel that was created using modification authority allowed them to travel freely to any corner of the parallel world. When Vincent and Dave walked into the wall, they realized that the wall of the office was much thicker than they had imagined. At the same time, there were many mechanical parts and high-grade materials filled with spirituality that was mixed in with the wall.

Although they knew that there were many mechanisms in Hell’s Rose, they were still shocked by the mechanisms hidden inside the wall!

Dave sighed in surprise, “I am a regular customer of Hell’s Rose, but I still can’t imagine that there are so many traps here. I believe that even Catherine doesn’t know what the traps here are for!”

Vincent nodded and said, “It seems that only the auctioneer knows all the arrangements here. This is because compared to the other supervisors, only the auctioneer can be considered as Myron’s confidant! The others were probably threatened and restricted by Myron because they were not reliable in his eyes. Therefore, he did not let them know more of his secrets. It seems that Myron took the initiative to invite Andre into the office, not because he was desperate to compromise, but because he wanted to use the traps here, either to beg for a way out or to perish together with Andre!”

Dave hurriedly asked, “Then what do you think he will choose?”

Vincent replied without hesitation, “I still can’t see Andre’s true strength. I believe that Myron will be more afraid of him than I am. Therefore, the possibility of him wanting to use a trap to escape is higher! However, when enemies meet, they will be especially jealous. Who knows if Myron will act on impulse and insist on dying together with Andre?”

Dave shook his head and said, “Both of them are City Lords. I think that both Myron and my father are extremely clear-headed and calm egoists. They would not do things that are disadvantageous to themselves. Even if they are facing enemies that they have deep-seated blood feuds against, they will still smile temporarily and wait patiently for an opportunity to strike. They are like two poisonous snakes facing off against each other!”

Vincent smiled and said, “I like your metaphor!”

As they spoke, the two of them had already passed through the wall and arrived at the auctioneer’s office.

The secret room behind the wall had already been opened. Myron sat in his seat and looked coldly at Andre across the desk. He said in a deep voice, “I haven’t seen you for many years. I still haven’t forgotten the scene when you ambushed me from behind. Now that I see your face again, it really feels like yesterday!”

A crazy smile appeared at the corner of Andre’s mouth as he said, “It’s all your fault for not knowing when to retreat or advance back then. You knew that the position of City Lord was in my pocket, but you still refused to let go. In the end, I stabbed you with my sword. You can only blame yourself for being so stubborn. You can’t blame me!”

The muscles on Myron’s face twisted violently. It was not difficult to see that he was gnashing his teeth at the same time. Nevertheless, he was trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart.

Myron let out a long sigh and asked Andre, “What did you do in the abyss?”

He had been observing in the dark for so many years. If he did not ask for the truth at this moment, he would never be satisfied!

After hearing Myron’s question, Andre could not help but frown slightly. He replied thoughtfully, “Why? What did I do down there? Did you not see clearly just now?”

Myron shook his head and answered truthfully, “How could I see clearly from such a far distance? Since you are confident that you can kill me today, why don’t you solve this mystery for me? It can also be considered to offset your unrighteous act of ambushing me back then!”

Andre’s tightly knitted brows immediately relaxed. He nodded and said, “Alright, since you want to know, then I’ll tell you! Under the abyss is the Origin Divine Earth that we all wanted to find back then. I discovered it by chance. That’s why I became the City Lord of Devil Flame City. I am in control of this resource!”

Myron could not help but say in shock, “What did you say? Could it be that you have been collecting the Origin Divine Earth for Gajero all these years?”

Andre smiled with a smug look on his face. He was too lazy to answer Myron’s question.

When Myron saw this, he could not help but explain with a serious expression, “When I became the City Lord of Devil Flame City back then, the oracles in the Imperial City had ordered me to search for the Origin Divine Earth. However, when I was searching for it, I also found a very important piece of information. The Origin Divine Earth is indeed an important nutrient to grow the Origin Divine Trees. When the last Origin Divine Tree wilts, it would be the end of the entire Elf World! You have been so crazy about excavating the Origin Divine Earth all these years. Aren’t you afraid of destroying the entire Elf Race?”

Andre raised his head and laughed. He said in a deep voice, “Why should I be afraid? I am now one of the twelve apostles. As long as the Elf World is destroyed, I can follow God’s apostles to live in the Demon World. At that time, I will become stronger and will officially become a member of the Demon Race! So what if I sacrifice a mere Elf World?”

Myron narrowed his eyes and sighed softly, “It seems that you are indeed ruthless! Even my ambition in the past cannot surpass the current you. However, you are even more foolish than I imagined!”

“Boom!”

A majestic aura instantly surged out from Andre’s body. Everything in the room was instantly blown to smithereens. The originally square walls had curved under the powerful aura. All the walls stuck together as if it was an incomparably smooth ball.

Andre shouted sternly, “Myron, right now, your life, how you should die, and when you should die, are all within the span of a single thought of mine. I advise you to be more honest. If you continue to say such useless nonsense, I’ll directly crush you to death!”

Myron, who was being held down by Andre’s shapeless aura, was sweating profusely on every corner of his body. He forcefully endured the pressure he felt all over his body and said, “Do you know why you were able to successfully assassinate me back then? It wasn’t because you were stronger than me. It was because the oracle in the Imperial City had given me an order to hand over the position of the City Lord to you! You actually did not even have to sneak up on me from behind that day. I wanted to hand over the position of the City Lord to you in public. However, you betrayed me. In order to climb up to the position of the City Lord, you didn’t hesitate to kill your sworn brother back then. It really made my heart turn cold! So, I faked my death to fulfill your ambition. At the same time, I also wanted to complete the mission of the oracle!”

Andre raised his eyebrows. He sneered and asked, “Oh, is that so? In that case, you must have been very unwilling to lose twenty years ago, right? Then why did you only care about concealing your identity all these years? Why did you not come to me earlier to take revenge? Although the oracle in Imperial City did not want you to continue being the City Lord, he didn’t stop you from killing me!”

Myron’s nervous expression suddenly disappeared. He smiled and said, “That is because killing you is not my goal. My goal is naturally to regain control of Devil Flame City! However, I don’t know what kind of method you used back then to make God’s oracles promise you the position of City Lord in Devil Flame City. Therefore, I have to find your secret and then kill you. Fortunately, the heavens do not disappoint those who have a heart. Today, I finally know the truth. It turns out that the demons rule the Dark Elves for the sake of the Origin Divine Earth. Even if I kill you today, as long as there is enough Origin Divine Earth left, no one will pursue my actions, right?”

Andre nodded with a smile and said, “That’s right! You already know all the secrets, but how are you going to kill me? What right do you have to kill me? Don’t tell me you want to brag here and make me laugh to death?”

The corner of Myron’s mouth curled up into a sneer. He said in a deep voice, “Don’t worry. I’ve already prepared for twenty years for us to meet again today. I’ve spent an incomparably long time building this place into a giant trap that will never allow you to leave. From the moment you walked into this office, your life and death are already in my hands!”

When Andre heard this, he was about to retort disdainfully when he suddenly saw Myron that was in front of him lowering his body and sinking into the ground along with his chair.

“Enjoy yourself! All of these are gifts that I have prepared meticulously for you!”

Myron’s voice came from the secret door under the table. The door then slammed shut, turning the entire room into a secret chamber.

Countless machine expansion sounds began to ring out. The surrounding walls began to rotate. Soon, powerful hidden machine weapons appeared one by one.

Dave looked at the weapons that shot out from the wall and couldn’t help but sigh, “Oh my God, the Heaven’s Legacy Arrow, the God-Slaying Crossbow, the Demon World’s Array Formation, and Large-Scale Magic Scrolls. These mechanisms are enough to equip an army. I didn’t expect that they would be used to create a secret chamber!”

Vincent also said emotionally, “It seems that Myron is more vengeful than we thought. Just looking at the secret chamber he prepared, he is bent on crushing Andre’s bones and scattering his ashes!”

At the same time, outside the space tunnel behind Vincent and Dave, eight eyes that were flickering with a dim light suddenly lit up. They were staring at Vincent’s back.
