"My lord, Feige is accustomed to serving you. The old servant looked at Aaron Pombo and replied, "It would be torture for me to return to my family residence to retire, and it would be better for me to continue to serve you here." ”

"It's hard for you. Aaron Pombo then asked, "How has the city of St. Louis been lately, and is it still calm?"

"Listening to Miss Anne before, it seems that it is not very peaceful, and several families have bad intentions, especially the Snow family, which is the most obvious. Although he didn't dare to resist our Pombo family head-on, once he had the opportunity, the other party would definitely not let it go. Feiqi said.

Alun Pompo's expression cooled, and he stopped writing with a quill pen, and a cold snort came out of his nose: "Hmph! Snow family! Back then, in my eyes, this was not even as good as those nouveau riche." As a result, I single-handedly wiped out the forces of Brown and Gallen, but gave him a chance to develop. Back then, I should have started a little more simply and eradicated an existence like him!"

After venting his emotions, Alan Pompo's expression became a little sigh again, and he exhaled and said: "However, even if the family like Snow was really eradicated at the beginning, there will still be other families looking for trouble now, there is no way."

The power of our Pombo family's lineage is still too weak, resulting in the extraordinary power under our complete control being greatly limited, and we cannot expand wantonly, otherwise it will lead to a backlash. This makes it difficult for us to fully control the entire city of St. Louis in a short period of time, giving the rest of the forces a chance.

They are all after profit, and they will not give up on overthrowing our Pombo family's rule and obtaining huge profits. Unless our Pombo family really develops into a behemoth, and they don't have any intention of resisting at all, then it will be considered a real success.

And on the eve of success, it is the most dangerous time. It is not surprising to me that at any point in the future, the Snow family will unite against our Pombo family. ”

"What shall we do, then, master?" asked the old servant, worried.

"I don't know. Alan Pombo shook his head, his eyes were a little cold, and said, "I can save the Pombo family once, but I can't save the Pombo family countless times, I'm too old to protect the Pombo family forever like before."

So, this question should be troubled by the new generation of the Pombo family, and I will at most provide them with some help. If one of the descendants of the Pombo family, like Annie's child, can succeed in catching up with my strength, or even become stronger than me, then the problem can be solved to a great extent. ”

"Okay, let's not talk about that, you go out, I'm going to continue researching things. Alan Pompo said.

"Yes. The old servant Fitch nodded, lifted the basket and walked out the door.

After taking a dozen steps, Aaron Pombo seemed to think of something, and commanded behind Feige: "By the way, Feige, help me get all the books on the middle floor of the red shelf, I suddenly have a new idea, I want to refer to the contents of that book." ”

"Yes, master. Hearing Alan Pompo's words, the old servant Fitch stopped, put down the basket with dirty dishes, and walked towards the red bookshelf of which Alan Pombo had spoken. One by one, he took off the books on them, and cautiously approached Alan Pombo's desk.

Standing in the corner, Richard glanced at the top book, and saw a slightly blurry handwriting: The Book of the Void.

The Book of the Void!

Richard's heart moved, but he didn't act rashly, quietly watching the old servant leave the hall in front of Feige and keep thinking about how to get the Book of Void.

It's not enough to get it, you have to find a way to take it out of here.

So......

Half an hour passed, thinking.

Alan Pompo, who had quickly flipped through the Book of the Void, didn't seem to be very satisfied, so he picked up the Book of the Void and a few other books, put them back on the original red shelf, and picked a bunch of books from another green shelf and brought them back to his desk to study, writing on papyrus with a quill from time to time.

"Rustling ......"

Looking at Alan Pombo who was engrossed, and then at the "Book of the Void" on the red bookshelf, Richard moved his consciousness and cautiously approached the past. After that, try to solidify the palm of your hand, quietly turn the page, and read the contents.

As a result, just as the conscious body's hand touched the surface of the book, there was a "pop" sound, and a subtle blue arc emerged.

Richard didn't hurt anything, only felt a slight heat in his palm.

In contrast, Aaron Pompo, who was writing something with a quill behind the desk, reacted very sharply and looked up sharply. There was a sharp light in his eyes, and he looked at Richard's position, and his mouth shouted: "Who is there!

"Brush!"

A gust of wind blew through the hall, many bookshelves shook, and Aaron Pompo's white hair fluttered, and with a single step, he pulled out a series of phantoms and fell in front of Richard's consciousness.

Alan Pombo swept his gaze clockwise over Richard's body and the space around him, which led Richard to guess: Alan Pombo could not determine his exact location, but could sense his approximate location.

"Oh, let me guess, it's someone from the Snow family, or maybe it's some remnant of the family that I wiped out?" said Arlen Pompo as he continued to scan Richard's general location.

A powerful momentum erupted from his body, and on his wrinkled skin, arcs of electricity of various colors were born, beating wildly. At the same time, a purple-black ball of electricity in his hand continued to condense, exuding an aura of destruction.

Richard's face changed, knowing that it was almost impossible to take the Book of the Void now, so he might as well find another way. The next moment there was no verbosity, and as soon as the thought moved, a strong pull came from the transparent belt connected to the flesh behind the neck of the consciousness body, pulling him out of the hall quickly.

He then made his way through the soil, through the fields, through the walls, and through the many buildings, and plunged headlong into the Pombo family's residence.

Moments later, in a room in the Pombo family residence, Richard sat up suddenly, exhaled, and successfully returned.

On the other side, Aaron Pombo was in the secret hall, feeling the strange aura dissipate out of thin air, and he couldn't search for it when he fully opened his senses, and couldn't help but show a somewhat puzzled expression.

After more than ten seconds, the aura that erupted from his body converged, the arc of electricity on the surface of his skin dissipated, and the electric ball in his hand slowly disappeared.

The muscles on Aaron Pompo's face twisted a few times, and he fell to one knee with a "poof" and coughed heartbreakingly.

"Ahem, ahem!"

After a long time, the coughing stopped, and Aaron Pombo looked around with a pale face, and did not notice the strange aura returning, taking advantage of his weakness to launch a sneak attack, his eyes were a little cloudy.

Not sure if he was hallucinating or if someone had actually sneaked in.

"Ancient—weird—"

Eventually, Aaron Pombo said hoarsely.
