Old Brent had once imagined that in a hundred years time, the foundation of Parkland’s wealth would be lost to a spendthrift descendant, maybe swallowed by the Dark Council, or simply lost on the stage of history. However, he had never thought that a mercenary in the wilderness would shake the foundations of his family.

In fact, during the whole process, Parkland had many opportunities to eliminate the mercenary completely. After carefully analyzing the whole matter, old Brent came to the conclusion that Parkland’s failure was due to him looking down on Zero, a person from the wilderness.

“Pride is indeed the biggest original sin.” Old Brent had sighed so once, but nothing had happened.

If it were not for the fact that he was worried about the reputation of Parkland’s chauffeur, at the beginning of the journey north, old Brent could have used an overwhelming force to kill the danger in the bud. It was because of this concern that old Brent lost his favorite grandson. After Sauron’s death, the Dark Council had sent high-ranking fighters to hunt him down, to restore the dignity it had lost.

Hearing this news, old Brent did not doubt that Zero was dead. However, even though the ninth Knight had come out, his efforts were in vain. No one would have thought that the Heroic Spirit Palace, which had always been enemies with the Dark Council, would actually save Zero. After that, old Brent thought he had no chance to avenge Saurun, but at this moment, the dark merchant sent him a precious message.

Zero, in order to complete the Asgard new barracks graduation test, has to appear somewhere outside of the wilderness. For old Brent, this was his biggest and last chance. He did not hesitate to send out the three most powerful men in Parkland. No matter from which point of view, when facing someone with an average strength at the seventh step, zero had no chance of surviving.

However, the opposite was the case. Up until now, old Brent had not received any news from those three. It seemed like the odds were against them.

Brent sighed softly in his bedroom. The old man’s cloudy eyes stared at the fire in the fireplace. The fire had already dimmed down, just like the situation his family was in right now. Sauron’s death, the successive failures of the operation, Parkland’s reputation in the wilderness had been greatly reduced. To this day, five companies in Parkland’s chauffeured subsidiary have announced that they are withdrawing from Parkland’s jurisdiction. The Parkland chauffeur did not respond.
