Initially, Gideon assumed that Nathalia’s raised middle finger was a deliberate provocation. However, when his eyes fell upon the ring, his pupils contracted in an instant. Though he had never laid eyes on this ring before, he had heard the British Lord describe it in vivid detail. The Lord had spoken of a bronze-colored ring, radiating a delicate sheen, devoid of any ornate embellishments. Its width measured about two centimeters, equivalent to approximately 0.66 inches, a size fitting for an average adult male.

All these characteristics aligned perfectly with the ring adorning Nathalia’s hand.

Moreover, the mention of Maria Clark and her ring by Jack had been entirely voluntary. This led Gideon to conclude that the ring before him was indeed the coveted treasure the British Lord had fervently pursued.

According to the British Lord, this ring concealed a profound mystery. Unraveling its secrets would not only enhance one’s cultivation, but grant eternal life as well. As for how to unlock this enigma, only the hero of the entire world might possess such knowledge, with even Maria Clark herself potentially unaware.

The British Lord had reiterated countless times that whoever obtained this ring would be hailed as the paramount hero of the Warriors Den. The Lord would generously impart his lifelong wisdom and teachings without reservation, bestowing upon them the opportunity to delve into the mysteries contained within the ring.

Hence, for Gideon, whether it meant eliminating Bruce’s son or personally delivering Maria Clark to the Lord, none of these actions held as much significance as reclaiming the ring.

With this in mind, Gideon wasted no time in declaring, “Boy! Hand over the ring and I can grant you and your ancestors a painless journey on the path of death. This is the greatest act of kindness I can bestow upon you!”

Albert, however, retorted, “Old dog, if you truthfully reveal the exact details of the Warriors Den, I might consider sparing you. That, my friend, is the greatest kindness I can offer you!”

Gideon’s face darkened and he bellowed, “Boy, you’re asking for death!”

In an instant, he summoned a wooden sword, skillfully manipulating it to unleash a swift strike aimed directly at Morten.

Aware of Gideon’s formidable strength, Nathalia realized that engaging in a life-or-death battle within the villa would endanger everyone present. The aftermath of a single spell could reduce them all to ashes.

Swiftly stepping back to evade the invisible blade, Nathalia addressed Gideon, “If you desire the ring, follow me outside to a secluded location. If you win, you can claim both my life and the ring as your own. However, should you lose, rest assured that your head will no longer remain intact!”

Observing that Nathalia’s agility made it nearly impossible to strike him with his sword, Gideon temporarily retracted his blade and scoffed, “Boy, do you think we’re playing a game of cat and mouse? Let me make one thing clear, if you don’t obediently hand over the ring, I will commence by killing your grandparents and their entire lineage!”

Nathalia’s brow furrowed slightly, caught off guard by Gideon’s refusal to be deceived. Scanning his surroundings, he spoke with an icy edge to his voice, “After my parent’s tragic demise, do you know who accompanied me on this grief-stricken journey? Besides the person I despise the most, can you guess which two groups of people followed him?”

Perplexed, Gideon inquired, “Which two groups are you referring to?”

Nathalia’s tone turned somber as he replied, “One of them belongs to my paternal grandfather’s family.”
