Star Gate’s martial arts mamtals were hidden in an attic where Tristan resided, specifically within an underground chamber. that was safeguarded by several traps and mechanisms.

Gilmore, accompanied by Phoenix and Steve, followed Tristan into this secret charmber.

The chamber, spanning a good few hundred square feet, was furnished like a study.

Bookshelves lined the walls, filled with a myriad of books and various–sized boxes

Beyond the bookish decor, there were also a bed, chairs, and a tea table.

From the looks of it, it seemed like Tristan frequented this room. The jade ashtray on the table, filled with cigarette butts, was a testament to his regular visits.

As Phoenix and Steve entered the chamber, they curiously scanned the surroundings.

Clearly, this was their first venture into the leader’s private sanctum.

Tristan approached the bed and pressed a brick on the wall with his palm.

With a soft click, two concealed doors on the wall revealed themselves, opening to show a hidden compartment. Inside was. a black wooden box.

Tristan retrieved the box and set it on the table.

Turning to Gilmore, he said, “Leader, these are the treasured martial arts manuals passed down through the generations of Star Gate’s leaders.

They encompass techniques on internal force cultivation, swordsmanship, as well as various hand– to–hand combat skills–a total of 10 manuals.”

As he spoke, he opened up the box.

Gilmore looked inside to see aged books with yellowing covers and pages, their antiquity evident.

The one on top was titled Star Gate Thunder Palm, likely detailing a palm technique.

Underneath, other titles like Star Cate Swordplay, Star Gate Thunderbolt Palm, and Star Gate Inner Force Method could be

seen.

After perusing briefly, Gilmore placed the manuals back in the box.

While these were the treasured manuals of Star Cate, to Gilmord they seemed to be of little use

Ever since he had taken that Ravenhurst Mountain elixir from the mysterious old sage, his anima had surged like an unending ocean.

These manuals on swordplay, palm strikes, and mana cultivation seemed trivial in comparison. With a mere wave of his hand, he could overpower them all.

In fact, Gilmore wasn’t even certain of the full extent of his own profound mana–just how advanced had he become, and to which level of martialist did he belong?

He could, however, distinctly feel that the anima within him was far superior to internal mana.

Thus, if he ever required martial arts manuals, they wouldn’t be about basic internal force cultivation but rather techniques

aligned with anima.

From the box, Gilmore picked up two manuals–Star Gate Thunder Palm and Star Gate Thunderbolt Swordplay–and tossed them to Phoenix and Steve, saying, “Consider these a reward.

“Stay loyal to me and heed my commands, and not only will you receive martial arts manuals, but you’ll also be handsomely rewarded.”

Catching the manuals, Phoenix and Steve were momentarily lost in disbelief, as if in a dream.

After they snapped back to reality, their faces were full of overwhelming gratitude. They quickly prostrated themselves, declaring. “For bestowing upon us such invaluable manuals, we can offer nothing in return but our unwavering loyalty. We are forever indebted to you”

Their intense reaction was understandable.

Gilmore’s generosity was astounding.

Star Gate Thunder Palm and Star Gate Thunderbolt Swordplay were exclusive Star Gate techniques, meant only for the sect leader.

Yet, Gilmore handed them out as if they were of little value.

How could they not feel flattered and grateful?

Even Tristan was stunned.

He never expected Gilmore to so casually give away such valuable martial arts manuals to Phoenix and Steve. Recovering from his surprise, he hurriedly advised, “Leader, this cannot be! These manuals are meant solely for the sect leader. You shouldn’t give them away so freely,”

Gilmore, with an air of nonchalance, replied, “Good things are meant to be shared. That’s their true value.

“Should they just gather dust and mold in this box? That would be a sheer waste.”

Hearing this, Phoenix and Steve were in awe of Gilmore’s magnanimity and wisdom. Their respect deepened, grateful for such a gracious leader. Their resolve to serve Gilmore unwaveringly only strengthened.

As for their plans to deal with Tristan’s attempt to prevent them from receiving the manuals, they had already plotted their

next moves.

Tristan was rendered speechless upon hearing Gilmore’s words.

The treasured martial arts manuals passed down through generations of Star Gate leaders were held exclusively by the head of the sect for two primary reasons

First, they represented the sect’s most precious secrets, which couldn’t be leaked outside.

Second, these manuals equipped the leader with advanced techniques to strengthen their grip on the sect.

If these techniques were to be imparted to the presbyters and other top martialists in the sect, it could upset the balance of power, potentially threatening the leader’s authority.

That’s why Gilmore’s act of bestowing these manuals on the presbyters was simply unimaginable to Tristan. “Tristan, what’s inside all these boxes on the shelf? Gilmore askel, pointing to the collection of various–sized boxes. Snapping back to reality, Tristan replied promptly. “These are antiques and treasures I’ve collected over the decades.”

“Bring them over here and let’s have a look,” commanded Gilmore.

Tristan quickly fetched the boxes, placing over a dozen of them on the table.

As he opened each one, the room was filled with a dazzling array of sparkling jewels and treasures, so brilliant that they nearly blinded the onlookers.

The boxes contained exquisite jade, emeralds, a luminous pearl, golden statues, and rare ceramics, among other valuables.

However, out of this impressive collection, Gilmore was only interested in one item–the luminous pearl, about the size of a chicken egg. He swiftly pocketed the box containing the pearl.

He then turned to Phoenix and Steve, instructing them, “Sell off these antiques and treasures in the next couple of days. All the proceeds will go to the Star Gate’s treasury.”

Both Phoenix and Steve were stunned.

By a conservative estimate, the value of these treasures could easily exceed a hundred million.

Gilmore’s decision to sell the treasures for the benefit of Star Gate showed his indifference to personal gains.

While the lead of Star Gate did have control over its assets, those antiques would’ve been Gilmore’s personal wealth if he chose to claim them.

Instead, he decided to transform the value of those antiques into an asset for the entire Star Gate community.

Such generosity left Phoenix and Steve in complete admiration

They could only imagine that with a leader as generous as Gilmore, they were bound to prosper in the future.

“Yes, master, both Phoenix and Steve responded immediately. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Tristan was left stunned. He thought of the fortune he had spent and the time invested in accumulating these artifacts, only for Gilmore to distribute them so freely.

The pain of the loss was almost tangible.

But he had learned his lesson and chose not to voice his objections this time.

Gilmore pocketed the remaining eight martial arts manuals from the black box and then turned to Phoenix to say, isn’t Norman from the Weston family imprisoned here at Star Gate?”

“Phoenix,

Phoenix, with a bow, quickly answered, “Yes, master. Was Mr. Weston a friend of yours? It was Tristan who had him confined. I can have him released immediately.”

“No, he’s not my friend. We have an unsettled score. Take me to him, Gilmore declared.

Phoenix hesitated for a moment and then quickly said, “Master, apologize for my mistake. I will take you to him right away.”

Subsequently, Gilmore and his entourage left the underground chamber.

Behind the Star Gate, there was a natural cave.

Inside this cave were many stone chambers, painstakingly carved out by the Star Gate centuries ago. These chambers were specifically designed to imprison enemy captives as well as the sect’s members who were found guilty of committing grave offenses.

At the entrance of the cave, a dozen martialists from Star Cate stood guard.

Gilmore, Phoenix, and Steve, as well as Tristan, who was escorted by some of the elite martialists, approached the cave’s

entrance.

Phoenix instructed two of the martialists to confine Tristan to one of the chambers within the cave.

Gilmore then requested Phoenix to fetch a laptop. After getting information about Norman’s confirtement location, he decided to leave everyone outside the cave. Glutching the laptop in his arms, he entered the cave.

Phoenix. Steve, and the others were puzzled expressions.

They wondered why Gilmore wanted to bring a laptop to meet the imprisoned Norman.

In their eyes, the new leader was an enigma.

Gilmore was generous, treating money as if it were dirt beneath his feet. He often acted in unpredictable ways but possessed an undeniable charisma that commanded respect from everyone. They were truly in awe of him.
