Ten o'clock in the evening.
After staying up the whole previous night, Sylvia was already lying quietly on the bed.
Henry quietly walked out of the room, not daring to make a sound, for fear of disturbing the woman's rest.
"Boss." In front of the villa courtyard, there was an Aston Martin. Wade was leaning against the car with a cigarette in his mouth.
"Let's talk in another place." Henry gesticulated to Wade.
"Get in the car."
Aston Martin produced a roar of the motor and disappeared.
In a quiet bar, Henry and Wade were sitting at a small table with some snacks on it.
"Boss, that Drewe said a few months ago, Gwyn Dover came looking for him."
"Gwyn..." Henry's eyes narrowed. "I already felt that something wasn't right during the battle. He really had another goal."
Gwyn Dover was the president of The King Region.
"Boss, what happened in the battle back then?" Wade asked, full of doubt. "At that time, there were many people who said that during the battle between you and Gwyn, Gwyn was heavily injured and completely crippled. And that you had lost your life. We all knew that you concealed your identity, but what about that Gwyn? Did he really suffer serious injuries like what the outside world said?"
Henry leaned against the chair and looked up at the ceiling quietly. After a long while, he said, "On the surface, I won, but I knew that he would win in the end. He used me to draw The King Region out of the whole underground world."
Wade shook his head. "Boss, I don't understand."
Henry smiled and said, "From then on, Gwyn knew the existence of Qi. But at that time, he could only transmit Qi through a simple method. He couldn't control it himself, but it was enough to show that he knows much more than I do. The King Region has ruled the society for hundreds of years and their foundation is so deep that we can't compare with him."
"No wonder." Wade revealed a look of sudden realization. "After the battle between you and Gwyn, the King Region's power rapidly shrank. Outsiders all thought that the King Region was suppressed by us. In fact, we have never touched the forces under the King Region. The King Region deliberately pushed them to us. They oppressed the underground forces in order to force people to rebel, and they could take the opportunity to retreat safely! What does the King Region want?"
"I have to ask you." Henry picked up a glass of warm water from the table. "What did you get from Drewe?"
Wade looked around and then whispered, "Boss, have you heard of Revival Plan?"
"Revival Plan?" Henry's face was full of suspicion.
"Yes." Wade nodded. "Drewe said that after Gwyn came to him, he had asked him to search for some things. Those things, without exception, were all very ancient. After Gwyn obtained those things, he would always take some things from their surface, saying that he wanted to revive the ancient deities."
