Chapter 942 Gideon Is Dead
Both the Morris and Judd families were prestigious families affiliated with Cloudmist Academy, their residences not too distant from each other. One nestled southwest of the academy, while the other lay to the north. Ameera had wanted to accompany Zephyr to the Judd residence, yet her offer was politely declined.
Over two decades prior, a sinner of the Lestrange family had surreptitiously divulged their closely– guarded secret inheritance technique to Gideon for his perusal. Despite efforts, the family had yet to reclaim it.
Given the sensitive nature of the matter, the Lestrange family preferred to keep it discreet.
At that moment, Logan and a handful of key
embers had just returned with Gideon’s lifeless body. Only this select circle within the Judd family knew of the patriarch’s abrupt demise due to his cultivation of demonic techniques.
The news had yet to disseminate beyond this inner circle. Understandably so, as it wasn’t exactly something to be proud of.
With Gideon’s passing, the inevitable need arose for a new leader, and Logan emerged as the most fitting candidate. It was only logical.
Zephyr arrived at the Judd residence, oblivious to what had happened. He insisted on seeing Gideon, putting Logan in a difficult position. With no choice, Logan informed Zephyr that Gideon was cultivating in seclusion and that he was now in charge of the family affairs, telling Zephyr to address any concerns directly with him.
To Logan’s surprise, Zephyr’s expression turned cold. “I am here today representing my family to retrieve something from Gideon. Whether he is in seclusion or not, he must see me immediately!”
Zephyr’s tone allowed no room for negotiation.
Over two decades ago, the secretive clan wielded unparalleled influence over Mount Kushburn, reigning as an indomitable force before whom few dared to tread lightly–save for two notable exceptions. The first being an enigmatic, immensely powerful elite whose might effortlessly subdued the secret clan. The second, a band of thieves hailing from the infamous Heavenly Pilferer Sect, posed a unique challenge with their cunning prowess.
Sly as foxes, they brazenly trespassed into the secret clan’s territory, engaging in dubious activities and evading capture with unparalleled skill.
This was one of the reasons why the secret clan continually fortified their hidden formations. It was to counter this persistent threat.

formations with ease.
A mere stroll through a given area allowed him to discern the presence of hidden formations, and decoding them proved effortless.
This made their schemes virtually undetectable and thwarted the secret clan’s defensive
measures.

Thus, a deep–seated animosity simmered between the secret clan and the Heavenly Pilferer Sect two decades ago.
Aside from these exceptions, the secret clan commanded respect from the majority of powers within Mount Kushburn. Otherwise, a snob like Ameera wouldn’t have arranged for Sylvia’s marriage to the Lestrange family early on.
Zephyr practically demanded to see Gideon, his tone commanding and his attitude unwaveringly firm.
Initially hesitant to divulge Gideon’s recent death, Logan found himself compelled to disclose the unfortunate news given Zephyr’s esteemed status. “Mr. Lestrange,” he began, “Unfortunately, he met an unexpected demise not long ago. As such, I’ve assumed. responsibility for matters concerning the Judd family. Should you require assistance, please don’t hesitate to approach me. I’ll try my best to help.”
Zephyr’s reaction was one of disbelief. “What’d you say? Gideon is dead?” he exclaimed, his expression turning even colder in an instant. He pressed on, demanding answers, “Do you understand why I was tasked by my family to find him?”
Logan cautiously inquired, “Could you please enlighten me?”
“Hmph,” Zephyr scoffed, his frustration palpable. “I had intended to resolve this matter with Gideon privately. Yet, his passing leaves me with no choice but to seek answers from you. Did you know that a member of our family entrusted Gideon with our secret inheritance technique, and he still hasn’t returned it till this day?”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
As Zephyr’s words pierced the air with a chilling tone, Logan recoiled visibly, his complexion shifting dramatically. Fear palpable in his voice, he stuttered, “Mr. Lestrange, is…is what you’re saying true?”
