Kean, Maria, Gilmore, and the others took seats in the living room
“Where did you cfrom. Mr. Reed?” Kean asked Gilmore, striking up a conversation.
However, Maria said to her father, “Father, Mr. Reed and his friends haven't had lunch yet.
You'd better ask someone prepare a meal for them. | promised Mr. Reed that | would treat them.”
Gilmore and all the girls had lunch at Raindrop Inn but had to halt their meal due to the intense clash with the
Secret Sect martialists and Maria
That was why Maria urged her father to cook for Gilmore and his girlfriends.
This was a customary way to host guests.
Kean nodded. It turns out that Mr. Reed hasn't eaten yet. My bad. I'll ask someone to cook now.”
After that, Kean looked at Alan and said. “Alan, ask our chef to cook for our guest”
Alan agreed and left the living
After Alan left, Gilmore suddenly becserious. He looked at Kean and said, “Mr. Gould, judging from your
aura, there seems to be an ominous sign today.”
Kean was stunned.
He was surprised because a guest rarely visited their hand now he mentioned a bad omen.
This might have appeared a bit offensive.
But Kean wasn’t angry since Gilmore had saved his daughter.
What's more, Kean wanted to recruit Gilmore.
Therefore, even if Gilmore said something offensive, he would not take it to heart.
Then, a smile crossed Kean’s face as he looked at Gilmore and asked, “Can Mr. Reed practice face reading?”
Gilmore nodded and explained, “Mr. Gould, | have sknowledge of it, though | wouldn't call myself a master. |
can make observations about people’s faces.”
Seeing that Gilmore was serious, Kean couldn't help but a bit convinced.
“Are you really good at face reading?” he asked.
Gilmore said, “It's true”
Hearing what Gilmore said, Kean knew that Gilmore was not joking.
However, all the girls were shocked. “When did Gilmore learn face reading?” they thought
But they were used to Gilmore's surprises and accepted it as something he could do.
In their minds, Gilmore was
all-knowing figure, so they did find it unusual that he could read faces.
Maria seemed to trust Gilmore very much.

Having witnessed him defeat Sebastian and the monks at Raindrop Inn, she believed him wholeheartedly
When she heard about the possible bad omen, she asked Gilmore. “Tell me, Mr. Reed, what kind of bad omen
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdoes my father face?”
Kean and the others were also intrigued by the response.
Gilmore played the role of a face reading master, raised his hand, and calculated with his fingers.
Then, he looked at Kean and solemnly said, “Mr. Gould, forgivefor saying this, but you are indeed in a life-
and-death situation today.
“And this crisis is from a betrayal by the person you trust the most.
Kean couldn’t help but frown. He looked at Gilmore and said, “Did you say that my most trusted person betrayed
Gilmore nodded.
Hearing what Gilmore said, Maria suddenly remembered something and said to Kean, “Father, | think what Mr.
Reed said
makes sense.
Today, | went to Magnolia Town for a clandestine meeting with Landen. But that scoundrel, Ashley, somehow got
wind of this secret arrangement and even sent Sebastian and a group of martial artists,
“If it weren't for Mr. Reed, we would have fallen into their hands
“If someone hadn't betrayed us, how would Ashley know that | was meeting Landen secretly at Raindrop Inn?”
Landen seemed to understand and added. “That's right. Magnolia Town has always been under my control.
There’s no way Ashley could have known about Ms. Gould's secret visit.”
Kean couldn't help but remain silent.
Inde
Landen had ruled Magnolia Town for over a decade, meaning he had complete control over it
If he wanted to keep his meeting with Maria a secret, he could do it
Therefore, the issue couldn't be attributed to Landen or Magnolia Town.
Kean couldn't help but look serious.
Could it be that the traitor who betrayed him was right by his side?
Mr. Reed, who betrayed me?” Kean looked straight at Gilmore and asked.
Gilmore said, “Mr. Gould, I've told you the person who betrayed you is the one you trust the most.
“And he’s been with you for decades. In addition, according to my divination, the one who betrayed you, would
poison your food and attempt to take your life
Hearing this, Kean’s face suddenly darkened.
In the living room were Maria, Landen, Cassie, and several middle-aged men, all of whom were kean’s most
trusted martial
However, these individuals had followed Keap for only nearly a decade.
Thus, they couldn't be the one who had followed Kran for decades

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something.
Seeing her father’s sudden change in expression, Maria seemed to have thought of something too. She looked at
her father and said. “Could it be.
However, before she could say the man’s name, she heard footsteps and saw Alan coming back.
Unaware of the conversation in the living room, Alan respectfully reported to Kean, “Mr. Could, I've given the
order to the kitchen to prepare wine and dishes promptly
The expression on Kean'’s face had returned to normal. He nodded to Alan and said, “Well, very good”
Alan then said to Kean. The medicine you've been taking is ready, Mr. Gould”
Kean said, “Well, well, ask someone to bring it up. This is my last dose. After taking it, my injury, which has been
healing for over half a year, will be fully recovered.”
“Congratulations. Mr. Gould. Your recovery is almost complete. You'll be back in action soon. Alan said with a
smile.
Alan then called out to the gate, “Bring in the medicine.”
An answer cfrom outside, and a maid entered with a tray carrying a bowl of medicine.
When she approached Kean, she bowed and said, “Please take your medicine, Mr. Gould.”
Kean nodded and picked up the bowl.
Observing this, Maria. Landen, and the others in the living room appeared slightly anxious.
They were uneasy because Gilmore had mentioned earlier that Kean would face a life-and-death crisis today,
and the person he trusted most would poison his food.
Therefore, when they saw the bow of medicine, they becnervous.
Kean held the bowl of medicine close to his lips.
At that moment, Alan had complex emotions.
His hidden hand, which had previously been clenched, gradually relaxed from its firm grip, only to tighten into a
fist again.
Eventually, he remained silent, as if accepting a predetermined fate.
“Alan!” At this moment, Kean’s voice called out.
Alan raised his eyes, only to find that Kean had not taken the medicine yet.
Alan quickly asked, “What can | do for you, Mr. Gould?”
Kean looked at him and said, “Alan, you have been withfor more than 30 years, haven't you?”
Alan didn’t know why Kean suddenly asked this.
However, he still replied to Kean. “Yes, | have been following you since | was 23. Now it has been 37 years, Mr.
Gould”
Kean nodded. “You have been loyal tofor 37 years. Are you still loyal tonow?”
Alari was startled.

But he replied in an instant, “Mr. Gould, I've been loyal to you for 37 years, I'll also be loyal to you

Kean was satisfied. “Very good.
Then he said, “Mr. Reed just foretold that | would face a life-threatening event today, particularly involving food
and poison,
“You asked someone to prepare this medicine for me, and you are loyal to me.

Can you
test it for me?”
Alan's face was full of shock. “Test medicine?”
Alan clearly knew whether the medicine was poisoned or not.
Of course, he couldn't carry out the test because it
Alan finally calmed down. He looket at Kean and said, “Mr. Gould, why are you in a life-and-death crisis?
“Your injuries are on the mend, and you're about to make a comeback to regain control of the Secret Sect
However, when faced with Alan's diversionary tactics, Kean fixed his gaze on him and said, “Alan, can you test
the medicine fortoday?”
Alan never expected that Kean would be so insistent.
He had no choice but to continue discussing other matters. “Mr. Gould, this medicine is prepared with rare and
precious ingredients, and it’s the final dose for you.
“If | drink it, there won't be anything left for you
“No, you only need to take a few sips,” Kean said very seriously.
Alan found himself speechless
Then, as if a realization had struck him, Alan knelt before Kean, placing his forehead on the ground, and
expressed deep remorse, saying, “Mr. Gould, | have committed grave wrongs. Please putto death.”
Looking at Alan, who was now kneeling, with an icy expression.
Everyone finally grasped the situation.
Something was amiss with the bowl of medicine.
Otherwise, Alan would not have dared to drink it.
Now, they began to believe what Gilmore said. It was very likely that it had been poisoned.
Kean looked at Alan coldly and said, “Alan, why do you wantto kill you? Did you do something wrong to me?”
Alan kept his head lowered, not daring to raise it, and admitted, “Mr. Gould, | apologize. Ashley manipulated my
grandson
to threaten me.
Tacted rashly and followed their instructions. | poisoned you with the toxic substance
When Kean and the others heard this, their faces changed unconsciously.
That poison was the most terrible poison of the Secret Sect
It was colorless and tasteless. Once someone took it, they would die within an hour.
Hearing this, Kran knew what to do
In other words, the rson who sold him our was his most trusted butler, Alan

“Alan, letask you, did you leak the information about Maria's secret meeting with Landen in Magnolia Town?”
Kean looked at Alan on the ground with burning eyes and asked
Alan looked guilty and nodded painfully. “Yes, Mr. Gould, | leaked the news. It's all my fault!”
