The Abbot’s eyes widened instinctively as he stared at the object in Hudson’s hand.After years of searching… it had finally appeared before him.So this… was what it looked like.A surge of excitement rose in his chest, only to be instantly extinguished by the coldness in Hudson’s eyes.He had finally found the dragon-shaped jade pendant…Yet he had no way to take it.A deep sense of unwillingness filled the Abbot’s heart.“Let me ask you,” Hudson said, stepping forward again. “What’s the secret behind this pendant?”As he moved, a fierce, invisible pressure radiated from his body and bore down on the Abbot.The Abbot, only a half-step grandmaster, was instantly overwhelmed. Under the crushing force of Hudson’s aura, he dropped to one knee on the wooden floor of the temple hall nestled in the mountains of Northern California.Too strong…The Abbot looked at Hudson in shock.Moments ago, seeing Hudson forcibly tear free from the Ten Thousand Venom Silk, he had guessed Hudson might onl

The Abbot’s brows furrowed slightly. After thinking it over, he couldn’t recall any notable figures connected to Omega Villa.He had lived in the temple for many years and knew very little about the outside world.Looking at Hudson’s calm smile, he instinctively assumed the young man was bluffing. He glared at him and said coldly,“You’d better start talking. Where is the Brown family’s daughter?”Hudson didn’t answer directly. Instead, he said,“You’re looking for the Brown family’s daughter because you want the dragon-shaped jade pendant… right?”“Do you know where it is?”Abbot's expression shifted instantly. His eyes locked onto Hudson.Ever since they’d lost track of their target twenty years ago, the dragon-shaped jade pendant had vanished along with him.Now this young man was bringing it up on his own. That meant he’d either seen it… or knew exactly where it was.The Abbot quietly took a breath, suppressing the excitement rising in his chest. His face turned serious.“Young ma

The man Hudson held in his grip had a red mole right in the center of his forehead. His eyes were cold and indifferent, with no intention of talking.“Didn’t want to explain? When you fall into my hands, that’s not up to you.”Hudson let out a faint sneer. He bent down, grabbed the other injured man, and dragged both of them toward the basement.As Ivory and Ellie stepped out to follow, Hudson stopped them.“What happens next is going to get bloody. Don’t come down.”The two women immediately froze, then quietly turned back inside.After entering the basement, Hudson tossed one of the men into a corner. From inside his coat, he took out a roll of silver needles.He walked over to the man he had questioned earlier and began inserting the needles one by one.Soon, eighteen silver needles were embedded into different pressure points across the man’s body.“This technique is called the Eighteen Ghost Needles,” Hudson said calmly. “Even ghosts would talk under this… let alone you.”He pull

Memories needed the right kind of trigger.Hudson knew he hadn’t been that young back then. He must have known who his parents were. If he could just recover those lost memories, many questions about his past could finally be answered.Before, Ellie had mentioned that she used to call him “Brother Willie,” which meant they must have spent time together when they were younger.Ellie thought for a moment before speaking.“It’s been so long… I don’t remember everything clearly.”“It’s okay,” Hudson said gently. “Just tell me whatever you do remember.”He didn’t have much hope that this would restore his memory, but there was no harm in trying.Ellie began to recall what she could.She said that one day, her father suddenly told the family he had to go out to handle something. The next day, he came back to their home in Northern California carrying Hudson, who was covered in blood.At the time, the Brown family had asked whose child he was. But Ellie’s father refused to say much. He only
