Chapter 29
After hearing Brooke’s so-called innocent question, Harris’s face twitched unnaturally for a moment.
Why am I kneeling on the ground?
Because I am begging him to take me in as a student!
Since he’s not responding to me, I can do nothing but stay on the ground!”
However, Harris was too embarrassed to say this out loud.
So he chose not to say anything and remained silent.
On the other side, Brooke had already turned his surprising gaze toward Gavin and said with a hint of astonishment,
“I heard from Layla that you cured my illness, Gav?”
Gavin looked at Brooke with a calm smile and nodded slowly.
Seeing Gavin nod, Brooke’s expression appeared somewhat excited. He took a step forward and grabbed Gavin’s hand. There was even a hint of tears in his cloudy eyes.
“Gav, you have no idea what I have been through. I’ve had this illness for the past ten years. During this period, I consulted many doctors from different places, but none could do anything for my condition! Even the best doctor in Riverrun, Harris Myers, could only try to prolong my life with medication!
“I did not expect that you would be able to save my life as soon as you came back here!
“You are my savior! You are the savior of the entire Taylor family!”
The savior of the entire Taylor family?
Upon hearing Brooke’s words, Jackson and Caleb looked at each other with strange and embarrassed expressions.
The person they had constantly mocked, looked down on, and belittled was now being referred to as the savior of the Taylor family by their father.
This was such a humiliation to them as if they had been slapped in the face in public!
However, they had already been humiliated enough. They were so used to it that they didn’t feel this time was much different from what they experienced previously.
On the other side, Gavin looked at the excited Brooke and spoke in a calm tone.
“Brooke, is it okay right now for you to tell me what happened back then?”
Indeed, Gavin had not forgotten what he had gone to the Taylor family for!
He went there searching for clues about the tragedy of the Clifford family that happened in the past!
Gavin already knew that the Harper family was one of the reasons for the downfall of the Clifford family. He had already. wiped out the entire Harper family.
However, he ran out of clues after he wiped out the Harper family.
Now, he could only hope that Brooke might have some news for him.
Brooke’s eyes slightly narrowed after hearing Gavin’s words. He suddenly put on a serious expression and spoke slowly to
Gavin.
“Gav, are you sure you want to know what happened?”
Gavin nodded firmly with a sharp gaze.
“Of course!”
Seeing Gavin’s determined expression, Brooke made a decision in his mind. Then, he nodded and said. “Gay, I don’t really know much about what exactly happened back then.
“However, people from four different families came and visited me ten years ago, right before the Clifford family was wiped
out.”
“Four different families?” Gavin raised his eyebrows slightly.
“Who are they?”
Upon hearing Gavin’s question, Brooke answered immediately. “There are three families from Brookspring. The Harper family, the Holman family, and the Dawson family. The fourth family is the Mason family from Greenwald!”
“The Harper family, the Holman family, the Dawson family, and the Mason family!” Gavin gritted his teeth as he slowly pronounced the name of these four families with a look of deep-seated resentment in his bloodshot eyes.

Brooke nodded and said, “Among these four families, the Harper family is the weakest since they don’t have any warriors. The strongest one is the Mason family from Greenwald. They are a family of warriors. They have trained many warriors using their possession of important resources.
“However!” At that moment. Brooke’s voice hinted at a shift, and he continued, “Although the Mason family is the strongest of the four, I don’t think they were the leading party of this event. I believe the Holman family from Brookspring organized the entire event!”
“What?” Gavin’s face displayed a hint of confusion after hearing Brooke’s words. He asked, “Brooke, why do you think so?” Brooke slowly answered, “Because I think these four families weren’t the only reason that caused the downfall of the Clifford family.”
Upon hearing this, Gavin’s eyes narrowed significantly.
Could it be that there were still others behind these four families?
Were there more people involved in the downfall of the Clifford family?
Brooke continued talking. “Since the Clifford family was the strongest in the world, even if these four families mobilized all their forces, they were absolutely no match for the Clifford family!
“Based on my interactions with the Holman family back then, I discovered that the Holman family seemed to be in touch with certain influential organizations!
“That’s why I came to believe that the Holman family from Brookspring was the one leading the organization of the downfall of the Clifford family!”
“The Holman family from Brookspring…
Gavin repeated this name in his thoughts.
He had memories of that family.
Ten years ago, Gavin had not yet entered Frostpeak to train the Frostpeak Dark Warriors and participated in the Sunspire
Resistance.
The Holman family had always been trailing behind the Clifford family like a lapdog, constantly flattering and praising the Clifford family.
Unbelievably, the biggest traitor in Brookspring turned out to be the Holman family! NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
Gavin tightly clenched his fists.
The aura around his body seemed like it might burst forth at any moment and lose control.
Layla, who was standing the closest to Gavin, sensed that something might be off with Gavin and gently held his hand.
Gavin’s trembling heart gradually calmed down after seemingly sensing the warmth conveyed by Layla.
A sense of sorrow appeared in Brooke’s eyes as he said, “At the beginning, they came to me and hoped that I would lead the Taylor family to participate in the plan to destroy the Clifford family. I vehemently refused them. Later, I tried to relay the information in advance to alert the Clifford family. However, I did not expect that they would impose a complete blockade on the Taylor family. No one from inside was able to leave!
“They had even cut off the landlines of our phones and the Internet!
“In the end, I could only watch helplessly as the Clifford family was destroyed!”
Right after he said those words, tears of sorrow welled up in Brooke’s eyes. The next moment, he cried out in anguish to the sky, “Brother Clifford, I am sorry. I am so sorry!”
The brother Clifford that Brooke was talking about was Gavin’s grandfather!
At that moment, Gavin could tell that Brooke was revealing his true emotions. There was no way he was acting.
Since Gavin was such a powerful being, he could tell if Brooke was lying and putting on a show for him. If that happened, the Taylor family would disappear from the world.
Gavin slowly opened his mouth.
“I see, Brooke. Thank you for telling me this.”
After he said that, Gavin did not want to stay there anymore He held Layla’s hand, turned, and headed to leave the Taylor family
Brooked seemed to sense that Gavin was onto something. He quickly asked. “Gay, what are you going to do?
Gavin did not answer him. He continued to walk outside in silence.
Brooke rushed to take a couple of steps forward and said. “Gay, please don’t be a fool! I know you are one of the Frostpeak Dark Warriors. However, there is no way that you can handle all these families by yourself!”
After hearing this, Logan, who was lying in the corner, revealed a surprised expression on his face first, and then he unexpectedly showed a relieved expression.
He was surprised since the Frostpeak Dark Warriors were wiped out ten years ago.
Then he was relieved that he was no match for Gavin, all because he was a Frostpeak Dark Warrior!
However, Logan and Brooke did not know that Gavin was not simply one of the Frostpeak Dark Warriors. He had created the Frostpeak Dark Warriors.
Gavin, who was heading out, did not turn his head back. Upon hearing Brooke’s words, he calmly said. “Please rest assured, Brooke. I’ve got this.”
Upon hearing Gavin’s words. Brooke felt slightly relieved.
However, the next few words that came out of Gavin’s mouth shocked everyone in the hall of the Taylor family. Even Brooke was so surprised that he couldn’t stand up straight and took several steps back!
Gavin said in a deep tone, “I’ve already wiped out the Harper family.”
“What?”
Though Gavin’s voice was calm, his words hit Brooke and the others like thunderclaps, instantly resonating deep in their
hearts.
Gavin had wiped out the Harper family?
Although the Harper family was the weakest among the four families mentioned, it was still one of the top families in Brookspring.
Did that mean that Gavin possessed great strength?
In addition, Gavin’s response hinted that he would do the same to the Holman, Dawson, and Mason families.
Brooke thought about what was going to happen afterward.
He gulped with difficulty and said with a shaking voice, “The entire world of Riverrun is about to be doomed.”
