As soon as Master Barker uttered those words, Mr. Zellweger, Jacy, and all the masters stumbled, nearly toppling
over.
Their jaws might as well have hit the floor.
Everyone had anticipated that with his air of arrogance, Master Barker would embrace death gracefully.
But instead, he said, “Mr. Reed, | surrender!”
This twist was so unexpected that everyone felt like they were on a roller coaster.
It was truly top grade.
Gilmore, however, remained unfazed. He had pegged Master Barker early on. Despite his haughty exterior,
Barker was spineless at heart.
Now with Master Barker's surrender, Apollo, Master Juanma, Master Kieran, and Master Marcus all looked at him
with
disdain.
Gilmore looked at Master Barker, Apollo, and the others, and said, “Since you've pledged loyalty to me, it's time
for you to swear on the Heart Pearl Spell.”
Heart Pearl Spell?
Shock spread across the faces of Master Barker, Apollo, and the others.
Swearing on the Heart Pearl Spell meant eternal loyalty to Gilmore.
Anyone who violated the Heart Pearl Spell would be punished by the heavens and die an unnatural death.
Therefore, they all felt an indescribable fear in their hearts.
But it was clear to them if they didn’t swear the Heart Pearl Spell, Gilmore wouldn't believe their sincerity in
surrender. Master Barker and the others exchanged glances.
Then, they all took out a black jade bead from their storage ring, which was the Heart Pearl Spell.
As soon as the black jade beads appeared, under the control of their core energy, wisps of black energy floated
out and floated in front of them
Then they began to take the Heart Pearl Spell upon the black jade. Master Barker said, “I, Master Barker, swear
upon the heavens with the Heart Pearl Spell to serve Mr. Reed loyally all my life and follow his commands,
“If | break this vow, may
The struck down by lightning and meeta cruel end!”

disappearing from sight.
Gilmore nodded. “Good. Now that you've sworn the Heart Pearl Spell, you'll work under me
“Now, | have a task for you. Protect the mining company at Swarm Mountain. If anything goes wrong, you'll be
held
accountable.
Upon hearing Gilmore's words, Apollo, Master Barker, and the others felt a bitter taste in their mouths.
They were highly esteemed figures, second only to the sect masters. Outside, they were used to others catering
to their whims, always having others to guard them.
Now, they were asked to safeguard a mere mining company by Gilmore.
This was basically ordering them around like workers. No, it would be more accurate to say that they were
ordering them. around like security guards.
Although they were unwilling to do so.
But having just sworn on the Heart Pearl Spell, they didn’t dare to defy Gilmore's orders.
Otherwise, even if Gilmore didn’t take action, the power of the Heart Pearl Spell would have punished them
So, with no choice. Apollo, Master Barker, and the rest said to Cilmore, “Yes, Mr. Reed.”
When Mr. Zellweger. Jaey and the others from the gold mine heard that Gilmore wanted Apollo, Master Juanma
and their
ons to protect the gold mine, they panicked.
Moreover, the five people including Apollo also agreed respectfully,
They were all stunned.
It should be noted that Apollo, Master Barker, and the others had previously been a threat to the gold mine.
But now, they had becsomeone who protected the gold mine company. Such a change was reall
really unbelievable. After instructing Apollo and the others, Gilmore turned his gaze to the other hundred
cultivators and said, “Just like Apollo and his team. | want all of you to protect the mining company with all your
might.”
The cultivators promptly responded, “Yes, Mr. Reed”
The reason Gilmore didn’t ask these cultivators to swear the Heart Pearl Spell was quite simple.
Their loyalty to Gilmore was already known by Apollo, Master Barker, and the rest.
Hence, there was no way these cultivators could pledge loyalty to the sect masters again, as they were now
tainted with the stam of betrayal.
Moreover, if these cultivators ever left Gilmore's side, the sect master could easily sentence them to death.
Alter giving has instructions, Gilmore turned to Jary and said. “Mr. Jetpuria, from now on, Apollo and his team are
the new Auster guards for the mining company.
They'll follow your arrangements, and their salary should be the sas the original master guards
Jook a moment for Joey to process the situation, then he promptly replied to Gilmore, Understood, Mr. Reed”
Calms then addressed Mr. Zellweger, “Mr. Zellweger, there's thing else for tonight. You can let everyone rest.”

Mr. Zellweger nodded: “Of course, Mr. Reed. I'll ensure everyone gets a good rest
Having Apollo, Master Barker, and over a hundred cultivators as guards, Mr. Zellweger had no doubts about the
security of the mining company.
After speaking with Mr. Zellweger, Gilmore then turned to his fiancées and said, “Let's head back and rest.”
Lilian, Claire, and the others nodded in agreement.
They left the warehouse alongside Gilmore.
While Mr. Zellweger and the company staff also departed.
After giving instructions to Apollo and the rest about guarding the mining company overnight, Jaey and the
original master guards left as well.
In the blink of an eye, the warehouse was left with only Apollo, Master Barker, and the group of cultivators.
Their emotions were hard to put into words.
Initially, they had thought that tonight they would overtake Swarm Mountain, capturing both Gilmore and the
mining company staff in one fell swoop.
However, the tables turned, and they found themselves defeated. To save their lives, they had to surrender to
Gilmore. And now, they were assigned to guard the very mining company they intended to take down.
The irony of it all made their hearts heavy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, they had no choice but to lead the cultivators out of the warehouse and patrol the gold mine company
after giving out the Heart Pearl Spell.
Gilmore, along with Lilian and the others, headed to the spacious bedroom Mr. Zellweger had arranged for them.
The room boasted five or six large beds.
Of course, the spacious bedroom with five to six large beds was hastily arranged by Mr. Zellweger, keeping in
mind the reality of Gilmore's multiple fiancées.
Gilmore sat down on a chair in the bedroom.
Lilian made a cup of coffee and placed it on a small round table in front of Gilmore.
“Gilmore Lilian said, her eyes on him, “Now that we've turned Apollo and Master Barker into our subordinates,
the sect master will surely find out soon”
A spark lit up in Gilmore's eyes. “This trip to Glace wasn’t just for leisure. There's something crucial to be done.
We need to eliminate the almost divine sect muster of Glace
“If we don’t get rid of the sect master, the Secret Sect in Snowenia and the ordinary folks will still be under his
menace.” Lilian said. “So, should we have Apollo lead us to the sect master so we can take him down?”
Gilmore responded, “No rush | believe once the sect master teams that his nephew and his four masters are

Lilian gave a teasing smile and said to Gilmore. Looks like someone misses you. Aren’t you going to
However, Gilmore's expression suddenly turned grave. “No,” he said to Lilian, “Maria’s in danger.”
