Rong Bailun’s father faked his death?!
Hearing this, Shaun’s face instantly turned pale. He recalled what Rong Bailun had said to him when he killed him.
“I’m not the number one in the world!”
If Rong Huangde wasn’t dead, then of course Rong Bailun couldn’t be called the number one in the world. His father was.
Shaun became nervous. “Deity Jordan, is it really possible that Rong Huangde pretended to be dead? Now that we killed his son, will he take revenge on us?”
Jordan said, “The possibility of Rong Huangde faking his death is very high. Look at the things here. It doesn’t look like someplace where a man in his 40s lives. Instead, it looks more like the living quarters of an old man in his 70s or 80s. However, you don’t have to worry. Even if Rong Huangde faked his death back then, he’s definitely dead now.
“Because he’s already more than 80 years old. No one can escape the curse of the eight great families. My grandfather wanted to escape the curse by freezing his body, but something happened the moment he walked towards the device.”
Shaun nodded. “That’s right. Even the grandfather of a Deity couldn’t avoid it. Rong Huangde definitely can’t either.”
Jordan did not say anything else and started to flip through the books on the desk.
The first book he saw was “Mayan Prophecy”. There was also the Dresden Codex, the Madrid Codex and the Paris Codex.
These books were all documents left behind by the ancient Mayans.
Everyone knew that the Mayans liked to forecast the future. They even predicted that the current generation would have high-tech gadgets such as planes and cars. They also predicted that someone like Hitler would appear and even predicted his birth and death dates.
Of course, their prophecy that the world would end in 2012 did not come true.
After flipping through them briefly, Jordan went on to read the other books.
There were also some Chinese books.
“Yuan Tian-gang’s Autobiography”, “Li Chunfeng’s Autobiography”, “Jiang Ziya”, “Zhuge Liang”…
Shaun was surprised by all those books. “Why do Rong Huangde have all these books?”
However, Jordan noticed something in common.
“Look, these books are all related to predictions. These are all famous ancient prophets. It seems that the Rong family is very interested in the prediction ability of the Deity. My guess is that they wanted to find a common point. They wanted to dig out the origin of the prediction ability.”
Shaun smiled. “No wonder. Ever since the first Deity appeared, the eight great families went from being unknown to dominating the world. Anyone would be curious about your ability.”
Jordan did not say anything and continued to read.
The books on the right were all on American folklore.
Jordan casually took out a book: Legend of Cocodrie, Louisiana.
Shaun took two steps back in fear when he saw the title.
Cocodrie was Shaun’s hometown!
Why was the Rong family reading books on Cocodrie?
Shaun was born in Cocodrie.
Moreover, there had always been many mystical urban legends about Cocodrie among the people. As a result, there were some books published about them.
Shaun hurriedly flipped through the next few books and realized that they were all about his hometown, Cocodrie!
“Damn it! Why did Rong Huangde buy so many books on Cocodrie?! Could it be… because of me? Was he investigating my background and my past?”
Shaun’s hair stood on end. He was a cautious person and was always very scared of people secretly investigating him.
Jordan nodded. “Shaun, it looks like the Rong family is not only interested in the prediction ability of the Deity, but also your family’s demonic techniques. He must know that you possess demonic techniques that can’t be explained by science. You can control people and kill them using a cat. That’s why they specially investigated your background. Actually, I’ve always wanted to ask you how you got your skills.”
Shaun replied, “My family ancestors passed them down.”
Jordan asked again, “Then how did your ancestors get them?”
Shaun shook his head. “I don’t know about that. My father and uncles taught me these things but all died when I was still young. My mother was the one who brought me up. My mother doesn’t know much about these things.”
Jordan knew that Shaun would not dare to lie to him anymore. He probably really did not know.
After flipping through the books, they didn’t find anything else suspicious.
Jordan and Shaun still had no clue about the core secret of the Rong family.
Shaun asked, “What should we do, Deity Jordan? There are no clues here. We only discovered that the Rong family has been investigating us.”
Jordan narrowed his eyes. He could feel that the Rong family was indeed not simple.
The Rong family had their sights set on Jordan and Shaun, the two most capable people in the world, for a long time. Perhaps the Rong family hoped to obtain what Jordan and Shaun had.
Jordan said, “I can’t wait to know the secrets of the Rong family. Apart from their super weapons and highly-advanced technology, what else is there?! What kind of core secrets do they have, that they can be so arrogant? Shaun, let’s go to Fort Rong now and uncover the truth!”
Hearing this, Shaun was very excited. “Alright! I don’t want to wait for a second longer! With Deity Jordan with me, I feel braver.”
If there was really some unknown danger there, Jordan could predict it in advance. There would be less risk of them dying there.
Without hesitation, the two of them called their subordinates over and flew to Fort Rong.
Fort Rong was located in Chengdu and the military had been developing biological weapons there since the mid-1900s.
Now, this place completely belonged to the Rong family. Many people at the fort had received news of their arrival in advance and greeted them at the door.
“Master Rong!”
A group of men with guns slung over their backs saluted Shaun respectfully.
Shaun nodded. “Is everything alright?”
One of the men said, “Yes, Master Rong, everything is operating business as usual!”
Shaun said, “Very good. I’ve already told Deity Jordan about the secret here. He is now a good friend of our family and will help with our research. You have to treat him with the utmost respect, understand?”
The subordinates gazed at Jordan respectfully. “Greetings, Deity Jordan!”
Jordan did not say anything and just walked through the door with Shaun.
Beep-Beep…
An alarm sounded!
