Chapter 18 About Ghostly King
Hearing Gabriel's question, Leon and Elizabeth looked dignified.
Elizabeth slightly narrowed her enchanting eyes, and she replied, "The strength of Ghostly Purgatory Hall five years ago can be called one of the three major organizations of Dragon Kingdom."
"An organization like Ghostly Purgatory Hall is divided into two sides."
"On the public, it uses Apex Bank, a huge economy, as a cover."
"In secret, it is actually a huge gang with tens of thousands of members."
"The organization with strict principles has a large number of members. And the clans for contact are all over Dragon Kingdom."
"Ghostly Purgatory Hall developed so powerful dependent on not only the huge organizational structure but all the major forces of Ghostly Purgatory Hall, including Ghostly King."
"From Ghostly King to the top ten Hell Commanders and Ghost Messengers, each of them has outstanding fighting force."
"Ghostly King Joseph, in particular, ranks in the top three in the Sky List of the Dragon Kingdom, and there are almost no rivals in the whole Dragon Kingdom."
Gabriel was shocked.
Unexpectedly, Ghostly Purgatory Hall was so huge and powerful.
He finally knew the name of the last Ghostly King.
Joseph!
"Five years ago, Ghostly King had a premonition of the crisis for some reason. In a panic, he summoned me, Leon and the other three confidants to arrange the afterward."
"At first, we couldn't understand it."
"I can't think of anyone who can assassinate the powerful Ghostly King."
"Unexpectedly, soon after, Ghostly King fought fiercely with someone all night at the Towering Cliff and was killed after the defeat."
Elizabeth looked sad.
What she admired most in her life was Ghostly King.
And as time went by, her worship transformed into love.
But with the death of Ghostly King, her love was also buried.
The only wish of Elizabeth now was to find the killer and avenge the Ghostly King!
After listening to Elizabeth's story, Gabriel was confused and asked, "Ghostly King is so powerful and has a premonition of that. How could he be killed?"
Elizabeth calmed down and shook her head, "We couldn't explain it, so we also feel his death strange."
"You still have no idea who the murderer is, right?" Gabriel asked again.
This matter was not only strange.
Gabriel believed there was a sophisticated story behind it.
"I really don't know who it is!" Elizabeth changed her tone, "But after investigation, we know it's done by a secret organization called God Temper!"
"God Temper?" Gabriel frowned.
God and ghosts. The names were so flashy.
Why did these gangs have such stupid names?
Elizabeth nodded, "God Temper is mysterious. Up to now, we know little about it, except that its members have a tattoo of sun mark on their chest."
"That's the only thing we know."
"That's all you know for five years' investigation?" Gabriel was speechless.
For the past five years, only a tattoo had been figured out.
Maybe God Temper was really powerful and mysterious, or the Ghostly Purgatory Hall was too incompetent.
Elizabeth said, "Since Ghostly King died, the whole Ghostly Purgatory Hall has been torn apart. The superiors bent on fighting for the Lord's position instead of avenging the Ghostly King. If it weren't for the whereabouts of Ghostly King's card, the Lord might have been changed successfully."
Gabriel took out the skeleton card.
Unexpectedly, the card was so useful.
Elizabeth interrupted his thinking, "Now the Ghostly Purgatory Hall is a mess. Clans in the world have formed their own factions, and many of them no longer obey the command of the headquarters."
"As for Silverwood, even if Leon has control of Apex Bank, the clan in Silverwood doesn't listen to Leon's command at all. The hundreds of members-only obey their clan head's words."
"Though you have the inheritance of former Ghostly King, in fact, except for me, Leon and three Ghost Messengers, the rest of Ghostly Purgatory Hall forces can't be under your control."
"The only way is to seize the opportunity of the Ghost Festival in the next year, and regain control of Ghostly Purgatory Hall to be Lord."
Gabriel took a sip of tea and narrowed his eyes.
To be honest, things were a little complicated.
After thinking about it, he asked, "Does anyone except you five know that the former Ghostly King transferred the Lord's position to me?"
"No, only us!" Elizabeth shook her head.
Gabriel was relieved by this answer, "You two, including the remaining three Ghost Messengers, must keep this secret!"
"The more mysterious I am, the more convenient to gain what we want from the confused situation."
"Next, while taking the Davis family as a stepping stone, I will make the clan of Ghostly Puritory Hall in the Silverwood involved in it."
"I'll take the opportunity to absorb this power."
With a reasonable excuse, outsiders couldn't see that he was interested in taking the clan of Ghostly Purgatory Hall.
In a word, before the identity was exposed, Gabriel should try to make them confused.
