Chapter Making 517
Chapter 517
In the Peach Pavilion.
Leland came to the front of the pavilion, where an old man was guarding the door.
The old man was no other than the second elder, who had taken Emma there by force under Leland’s order.
“Greetings, Mr. Gardner.” The old man immediately cupped his fists and greeted Leland.
Leland nodded. “Is Emma all right?”
The old man replied, “She is still in anger. Be careful when you go in.”
Leland nodded and said. “I see.”
Then, with his hands clasped behind his back, Leland entered the building.
He went to the second floor and saw Emma sitting in a chair.
Seeing him, Emma turned her face away angrily and ignored him.
He was angry because Leland had her taken back by force.
She had figured out the reason why her father did that- he was obviously targeting Gilmore and didn’t want her to get involved.
Therefore, she was a little worried about Gilmore.
Moreover, she was very curious as to why her father wanted to deal with Gilmore.
Gilmore had saved her life, after all.
She really couldn’t figure it out.
Leland looked at his daughter and asked flatteringly, “Emma, are you still angry with me?”
With her face still turned away, Emma refused to look at her father or answer his question. “Emma, I apologize for having you taken back by force. Please don’t get angry with me,” said Leland. Only then did Emma turn to him and say, “No, I’m very angry with you. Did you hurt Gilmore?
“He cured my inborn illness and saved my life. Why do you still want to deal with him?”
Leland frowned and said with indignation in his eyes, “Emma, you may not know that he is a liar.
“He is the leader of the Fensville Dragon Sect. He isn’t here for sightseeing, nor did he break into the Dragonspire Secret Realms by accident.
He went there just to get close to you and steal the third volume of the Longevity Scripture.”
Though Leland described Gilmore as a malicious man, Emma refuted firmly, “Father, Gilmore is nice to me and never used
me

Leland sneered and said, “Silly girl, he obviously harbored ulterior motives when he saved you. Otherwise, how could he come to you as soon as you were in trouble?
“He just admitted in the front yard that he came here for the third volume of the Longevity Scripture.
“Don’t see him again. He is such a lair and after the third volume. We won’t let him off.”
Emma immediately became nervous. She looked at her father and asked, “What did you do to him?”
“He is our enemy. I’ve locked him up in the cave on the rear mountain, Leland replied.
“I will discuss it with the other three realm masters before we decide how to punish him.”
Hearing this, Emma felt that her heart was broken.
Tears welled up in her eyes. She looked at her father and said, “Father, I beg you, don’t kill Gilmore.”
Leland frowned and replied, “Emma, are you trying to defend him?
“He is our enemy.
“No, father, “he’s not an enemy. He saved my life,” Emma immediately refuted.
For a moment, Leland felt indescribably upset.
He didn’t expect that his daughter still tried to defend Gilmore even after he told her who Gilmore was and how Gilmore was after the third volume.
This made Leland truly feel helpless towards his daughter.
“Emma, you have to stay in the Peach Pavilion for the next few days, in case you go look for Gilmore again,” Leland said and went downstairs,
The rear mountain he mentioned before was a peak behind the mountain where the Peach Mansion was located.
The two mountains were connected by a long bridge.
There was a cave on the rear mountain.
Waldo looked at the four martialists at the entrance of the cave and said, “Keep a close eye on Gilmore. Don’t let him
escape.
The four martialists answered in unison, “Yes, sir.”
After that, Waldo glanced into the cave and turned to leave.
The cave was very deep, and there were dozens of stone chambers that were used to imprison criminals
At the moment, a room with a steel door and an iron lock was dimly lit.
In the room sat Gilmore, who was in shackles.
Although he was locked up in the stone room, he was not anxious at all.
Instead, he looked very relaxed.

Chapter 517
He dug his ears with his little finger with a look of enjoyment on his face.
It turned out that Gilmore was just pretending, playing along with Leland.
He wasn’t paralyzed and could move freely.
The reason why he kept pretending was that he could see what was going to happen through his God’s Eye.
He saw that a plot to kill him was about to be staged.
At this moment, Gilmore’s pupils contracted, and his gaze seemed to have reached out of the cave and left the rear mountain
It crossed the space and finally landed in the courtyard of the Peach Pavilion where Emma lived.
He saw three young men in fine clothes enter the yard.
They were no other than Arnold, Edward, and Lewis.
Arnold looked at Edward and Lewis and said, “Do you think that Gilmore is in the pavilion now?”
With a look of jealousy and hatred on his face, Edward said, “Humph, that guy was lucky to have saved Emma from her illness.
“But how could he stay in Emma’s room?”
Lewis chimed in, “Yeah, he is not even a member of the Dragonspire Secret Realms. How could he enter Emma’s room?”
They had such a conversation because Emma never allowed them to step into the Peach Pavilion.
At this time, they saw the second elder, who was standing in front of the Peach Pavilion with a serious face.
They all looked curious.
They knew that the place was usually guarded by some maids, and this was the first time they had seen the second elder guard it.
Thus, the three of them walked over with curiosity.
Arnold cupped his fists toward the second elder and said, “Sir, why is it you who guard the Peach Pavilion today?”
The second elder looked at Arnold and said, “I’m here under Mr Gardner’s order to prevent Miss Gardner from leaving here.”
“Why did Mr. Gardner forbid Miss Gardner from leaving here?”
The second elder replied, “Because he was afraid that she would go to see Gilmore.”
Arnold, Edward, and Lewis found the words strange.
Arnold looked at the second elder and asked, “Why did Mr. Gardner forbid her from seeing Gilmore?”
