In the last two days, the Stein Clan had used all they could, to receive the information that they needed.
However, since they were still a big clan, with lots of branches in all zones of the Northern World, they had managed to gather the information swiftly.
Within two days, the clan had gathered information about every powerful person in the Northern World.
The Family Head held over a hundred pages in his hand. He had finished going through all the pages. If anything, these pages contained all the latest information, even some that he hadn't known previously.
After he finished verifying the information, he stood up and personally went to meet Gabriel.
Reaching closer to Gabriel's room, he was slightly surprised to see that the entire area was completely empty. Even the servants weren't there. However, he could feel a powerful aura coming from Gabriel's room.
To some extent, this aura even surprised him. It was more powerful than what Gabriel had shown in the main hall when he stood against them.
He was even more certain now that his hunch about Gabriel was correct. That guy was hiding more strength than he had shown.
As if Gabriel also sensed the presence of the family head, his aura slowly disappeared.
He got off the bed and donned proper clothing to welcome the coming guest.
Before the Family Head could even knock on the door, Gabriel opened it. Moreover, his eyes directly went on the papers in the middle-aged man's hands.
"It looks like you've gathered the information."
"Everything that you asked for..." The middle-aged man nodded before handing over the papers to Gabriel.
"Surprisingly enough, it was harder to find the information on the woman you are looking for. Even harder to find than the information on the Four Generals. Not much is known about her other than the fact that she stays in the Castle of Light in the Central Region."
Hearing the man's explanation, Gabriel took the papers. He hadn't expected that getting information about the Goddess of Light was going to be so hard.
"What's her strength when compared to the Four Generals?" Gabriel stepped back, allowing the middle-aged man to enter the room.
"She's said to be much weaker. However, no one can say for sure since no one has actually seen her fight. However, there are rumors that she's close to the King. Other than the Four Generals, she's the one who has been to the Central World and met the King," the Clan Head replied.
"That's to be expected. She's a snake who won't be satisfied until she gets everything," Gabriel commented as he focused on the little details about the Goddess of Light that was before him. "Still, it's good to confirm that she knows how to get to him."
"I'm curious about something. Do you have an enmity with that woman?" The Family Head asked, slightly curious. From the way Gabriel talked about her, he was already certain that Gabriel hated that woman.
"Perhaps one could make that observation," Gabriel replied in a relaxed manner.
"How did you make any enemy of someone her level? From what I know, she rarely leaves her palace and hasn't made any enemies. Moreover, you came from the Southern World, but she never went there. So how are the two of you connected?"
The Family Head was quite curious about Gabriel's identity since his daughter had already told him that Gabriel was using a mask and he didn't like showing his real face.
If he wasn't sure that Gabriel didn't have the Element of Death, he might have already suspected that the person before him was Karyk himself. Who else dared to make the King and the Generals his enemies?
"You don't need to know that." Gabriel placed the documents aside. "Now that I've received my payment, I'll help you explore the Shadow Garden. However, I won't be anyone's babysitter. So you should tell them to listen to me at all times."
"Ah, right. I'll make sure." The Family Head felt somewhat awkward. Gabriel was the only person who talked to him in that manner. However, he didn't get angry. He had noticed that Gabriel was truly capable. If they succeed this time, then their clan could really rise to the top once again, becoming a formidable force.
Last time, only the founder had the legacy, and he became the strongest. However, this time the family head wasn't planning on monopolizing that knowledge. Instead, he was planning to teach all the core members of the family.
He wasn't going to make the same mistake that his ancestor did! With so many powerhouses, he was sure that he could stand against the other clans! Even the Generals would've had to hesitate in attacking them.
In any case, he wasn't planning to publicize it, even if their clan found the Legacy. He had planned to pretend that they had failed in retrieving the Legacy, even if they succeeded.
Dreaming about a pleasant future, the old man left Gabriel's room, seemingly happy.
As the Stein family head left, closing the door behind him, Gabriel once again picked up the documents.
This was the information that even Jia didn't have. It contained so many secrets about the Northern World that Gabriel hadn't expected.
He read everything in the documents, even about the clans that he had no familiarity with. It was as if he wanted to know everything that was to be known.
"So many clans are loyal to the Northern General... Even though I expected this, but it's still..."
Gabriel kept flipping the pages, going through all the information. "Hmm? The Northern General is said to not like the Goddess of Light? This is... A conflict? For a clever person like her to get in a conflict with a General... Just what was she thinking?"
After he finished everything, Gabriel burned all the papers before dropping on the bed. He was thinking about how to deal with the Goddess of Light. However, now he had a plan.
