"Jack, I think it's better to sit down and listen."

Just as Sun Yan hesitated, Elise suddenly suggested.

Sun Yan curiously asked, "What insights do you have?"

"The Morolick Clan I'm part of seems to have started secretly offering sacrifices after contacting people from the Evil God Council to gain divine power."

Elise whispered quietly to Sun Yan, "This Evil God Council has existed for a very long time, even tracing back to the Middle Ages in Europe,

Freemasonry, the Illuminati, and other so-called secret organizations actually have the presence of the Evil God Council behind them. Those people are the web that shrouds America, so I think it's necessary for you to understand more about the situation."

"I see..." Sun Yan pondered.

The Cemetery Members were his most trustworthy companions and support. Since Elise said so, Sun Yan took the initiative to sit down.

"Go ahead."

Lady Hermione glanced at the old butler, signaling him to bring some food to entertain the guests.

After running for their lives all night, Sun Yan and the others were likely already hungry.

"My husband, Park Guochang, his Park Family harbors a secret. Last century, the Ikegawa Family discovered an ancient temple carrying a curse on Japan,

anyone entering would be drained of their blood and flesh, turning into a dried corpse. No one could enter to explore the temple's secret,

the Ikegawa Family brought a large number of Peninsula People to Japan during the Colonial Peninsula period to test if the curse's power was endless,

the person who guided these Peninsula People for that sacrificial migration was the then head of the Park Family, Park Jeong-woo.

After countless deaths, the curse on the temple finally failed, and people entering no longer faced any unforeseen events,

Park Jeong-woo, along with the Ikegawa Family, sent people in to explore the temple's secrets, and they ultimately found a treasure chest deep underground."

Lady Hermione slowly said, "The Greedy Treasure Chest. Father Jack, have you heard the story of the God of Greed from Japan?"

"I have heard a bit." Sun Yan nodded, "So you're saying the chest discovered by the Park and Ikegawa Families was the one sealing Izak Hibiya?"

"Exactly!"

Lady Hermione's expression was excited, "That's no myth. Izak Hibiya truly exists, sealed within that chest. Seeing him grants endless treasures,

but the Ikegawa Family had no clue about this. They sent people into the chest, but found nothing—no treasures, and no Izak Hibiya,

until someone clever from the Park Family accidentally unlocked the chest's secret, revealing Izak Hibiya's treasures to them,

thereafter, the Ikegawa Family was tasked with guarding the chest, while the Park Family was responsible for taking the treasures out, and they split the profits 50-50.

With the Evil God's treasure, the two families quickly became wealthy, their fortunes rivaling nations."

Sun Yan looked suspiciously at Lady Hermione, unsure of why she was revealing so much to him. Isn't such a secret supposed to be sealed tight?

"And then?" Sun Yan prompted when Lady Hermione paused.

"Back then, when America went to aid the Peninsula, my grandfather was the general responsible for the battlefield and met Park Jeong-woo at a conference,

to show submission to America, Park Jeong-woo told my grandfather the secret of the chest. With my grandfather's maneuvering, he helped Park Jeong-woo secretly bring the chest to the Peninsula,

when the Ikegawa Family discovered this, they started a manhunt against the Park Family. Fortunately, with the help of my grandfather and some Church Priests, the Park Family survived,

the Ikegawa Family was obliterated by America's army at the time, and the Park Family, for sharing the chest's secret with my family, became a renowned chaebol on the Peninsula with my family's support.

However, a few years ago, Park Guochang was assassinated by a group of Yin Yang Masters. To gain protection, he pursued me, and my family agreed to our marriage to get that chest, bringing Park Guochang and the chest to Los Angeles,

before coming to America, Park Guochang had a former wife who gave him a son. But to become a permanent resident for a green card and join the Hermione Clan, he divorced her,

however, the son harbored resentment. Even after Park Guochang brought him to live in America, I could sense his resentment towards me. My child's possession and Park Guochang's unexpected death, I suspect, were orchestrated by him, in collusion with remnants of the Ikegawa Family who survived, now part of the Evil God Council."

Facing Lady Hermione's account, Sun Yan only smiled calmly, "These are your speculations, after all. Park Duanji and Mr. Pu are father and son; it's not likely to go that far."

"No, you don't understand. Before I bore this child, Park Duanji was Park Guochang's sole heir, but now Guochang has another child, he won't allow the KOR Group to be split with another," Lady Hermione shook her head.

"I see, but this is your family matter, Lady Hermione. Please tell us more about the Evil God Council."
