Chapter 496
It took Laura a long while to come to her senses. She was stunned seeing how Gilmore left by flying
In her eyes, Gilmore was as powerful as a god,
Despite Gilmore’s power, Laura didn’t change her mind.
She wouldn’t allow Daphne to marry Gilmore, the playboy who had dated many girls.
Thinking of this, Laura gave an order to the fifth elder and the sixth elder with a livid face, “Keep a close eye on Daphne and don’t let her leave the sect.”
“Yes, Ms. Dawson, the two elders replied,
Laura knew very well that she couldn’t stop Gilmore from visiting the Maiden Sect, but she could stop Daphne from leaving the place,
However, this was only her wishful thinking because she couldn’t stop Gilmore at all if the latter insisted on taking Daphne
with him.
After giving the order, Laura was about to leave without sparing one more glance at Daphne.
However, at this time, Daphne said to Laura, “Grandma, I have something to tell you”
Laura stopped in her tracks and looked at Daphne, saying, “Get straight to the point. I’m busy”
Daphne realized that Laura was mad at her because Laura, who had always been very kind to her, suddenly gave her such a cold attitude,
Nevertheless, Daphne knew her grandmother still cared about her.
Therefore, she said softly to her grandmother, “Grandina, don’t be angry. Sit down and let me make some tea for you,”
While speaking, Daphne held one of Laura’s arms with a soft sille on her face.
Laura’s stern expression softened a little at her action.
She sat down on the sofa and said to the two elders, “You can go downstairs now.”
The two elders responded and left.
Daphne brought the cup of tea she made to her grandmother and said, “Grandma, have some tea.”
“Don’t you have something to tell me?” Laura asked.
Daphne nodded and replied, “Yes, Grandma.”
Daphne then passed on Gilmore’s messages to Laura.
The messages included Gilmore’s wish for the Maiden Sect to join the Fensville Dragon Sect, and he assured Laura that she would still act as the leader of the Maiden Sect and have full control over it.
Daphne also explained to Laura that the Maiden Sect might have a hard time and even decline if they didn’t join the

Fensville Dragon Sect.
Laura was utterly shocked to hear how Gilmore merged the Hawk Sect, Divine Sword Sect, and Evergreen Sect into a new sect–the Fensville Dragon Sect.
That was a feat that had never been achieved before.
Gilmore was undoubtedly the first person to make it in hundreds of years.
Laura was astonished by Gilmore’s power and capabilities.
Yet, even knowing that refusing to join the Fensville Dragon Sect would harm the Maiden Sect, Laura still didn’t want to refuse.
In her eyes, agreeing to Gilmore’s suggestion was equal to surrendering to him and allowing Daphne to be with him, who had many affairs.
Therefore, she would never compromise.
She would rather the Maiden Sect not grow stronger or even fall into decline than marry Daphne to the wrong person.
Laura looked at Daphne and said very solemnly, “Daphne, I will not agree to let the Maiden Sect join the Fensville Dragon Sect
“Unless you can sever your relationship with Gilmore face to face.”
Daphne was surprised.
She didn’t expect her grandmother to be so stubborn on the matter.
It seemed as if Laura would never change her mind.
This made Daphne feel very helpless.
She had to be patient to explain to Laura, “Grandma, have you ever thought about that if I cut off all ties with Gilmore, he would have nothing to do with you and the Maiden Sect anymore?
“At that time, Gilmore would not show any kindness to you and the sect.
“Grandma, do you want to see the Fensville Dragon Sect annex our sect just as it did to the Hawk Sect and Divine Sword
Sect?
“If that happens, you will lose control over the Maiden Sect and will be removed from your current position.”
Daphne’s words were a big blow to Laura.
Laura had to admit that if it weren’t for Daphne, Gilmore wouldn’t have been so lenient to the Maiden Sect.
It was very likely that the Maiden Sect would end up like the Hawk Sect and Divine Sword Sect.
Laura fell silent.
Although the situation was a little critical, Laura would hold onto her principle–the Maiden Sect wouldn’t join the Fensville

Dragon Sect, and Daphne couldn’t start a relationship with Gilmore unless Gilmore severed ties with other women first.
Laura said to her granddaughter, “Daphne, the Maiden Sect means a lot to me.
“But you are more important than the sect in my heart.
“You’re my dear granddaughter.
“I won’t approve of your relationship with him or agree to let the Maiden Sect join the Fensville Dragon Sect unless he cuts ties with all his other women.”
After that, Laura stood up and went downstairs.
Looking at her back, Daphne knew that her grandmother had made up her mind.
However, Daphne was touched that her grandmother loved her so much.
Although she couldn’t convince her grandmother, who was still prejudiced against Gilmore, Daphne believed that her grandmother would gradually change her opinion about Gilmore.
Moreover, her grandmother might agree to let the Maiden Sect join the Fensville Dragon Sect.
The night passed quickly, and it was at noon the next day.
In a magnificent palace of the Fensville Dragon Sect.
The sect masters and vice sect masters, including Zoel, Tillman, Owen, and Spencer, were sitting in the hall.
They were summoned by Gilmore.
They had no idea what Gilmore wanted.
But they knew that Gilmore must have something important to say since he summoned them.
Just as everyone was guessing, footsteps came from the gate of the hall.
Gilmore walked in with a smile on his face while talking to Abraham.
Seeing Gilmore, everyone in the hall immediately stood up and cupped their fists to greet him.
“Greetings, Mr. Reed.”
Though Gilmore claimed that he was just the second most powerful man in the sect, the members of the sect still regarded him as the sect master.
“Don’t stand on ceremony, guys. Sit down please,” said Gilmore,
“Thank you,” they replied and returned to their seats.
Walking into the hall with Abraham, Gilmore took the main seat in the middle.
Abraham took the seat next to him.
Gilmore pointed at Abraham, then looked at the crowd and said, “You must already know Mr. Astor, don’t you?”

Zoel, Tillman, Owen, and the others certainly did.
They said to Gilmore together, “Yes, Mr. Reed.”
They wondered why Gilmore brought Abraham to this gathering.
“Could it be that what Mr. Reed is going to say is related to Abraham?” they thought.
Gilmore looked at the confused crowd and said, “Since you already know him, there is no need for me to make introductions.
“I believe you knew that Mr. Astor had the second volume of the Longevity Scripture when you worked for Alfred, Gayler, and Elijah.”
Zoel, Tillman, and Owen nodded in agreement.
As core members of the Evergreen Sect, Hawk Sect, and Divine Sword Sect, they had long known that Abraham had the second volume of the Longevity Scripture.
Gilmore continued, “What you know is right. Mr. Astor did have the second volume, and he has given it to me.”
Those sect masters‘ and vice sect masters‘ eyes lit up when they heard Gilmore’s words.
They all wanted to see what this a–thousand–year–old martial arts manual looked like.
At this moment, Gilmore took out something wrapped in yellow silk from his pocket.
He untied the silk, revealing an ancient yellowed book.
Judging by the title on the cover, the book was none other than the second volume of the Longevity Scripture.
Seeing the book, Zoel, Tillman, Owen, Spencer, and the others all widened their eyes in surprise as if they had seen a great
treasure.
