Simultaneously, the gazes of all the people present swiveled towards the middle-aged seller. Their faces showed perplexity, surprise and doubt. They couldn't wrap their heads around the fact that the legendary genius, Moore, and the person in front of them was one and the same.

Moore stood straight and looked Raleigh in the eye firmly. In a low tone, he spoke, "Since you recognized me, there's no need for me to hide anymore."

"As you happen to be from the Chiang family, I will kill you today ahead of time. I will have my revenge for what happened in the past." Moore exuded an unadulterated air of majesty, brimming with vigor, as he readied himself to launch an attack on him.

Right at that moment, Raleigh sneered coolly. Meeting Moore's gaze, he asked, "Do you think that my presence here is a mere coincidence, Moore?"

"What do you mean?" The look on his face darkened.

The corners of his lips quirked up in a mocking grin. "My meaning? It's that this whole operation was planned just for you."

As he finished speaking, he clapped his hands together. A figure stepped out from behind him.

The person was a middle-aged man, who looked to be in his mid- forties. His expression was resolute and cold. He looked somewhat handsome, but when viewed from a different angle, there was a huge scar marring the other side of his face.

"Moore Chen, do you remember me?" The man with the scar on his face fixed his gaze on him. His voice was extremely raspy, to the point where it hurt to listen to.

When Moore saw the man, he could not disguise the shock and fury that flitted across his face. "Harold, it's you."

"Yes, it's none other than me!" Harold Chiang exclaimed, rage written all over his features. Glaring at Moore, he gnashed his teeth and said, "Moore, I've been carrying around my hatred for you and what you did in the past for twenty years. Now, I'll return all of it to you."

"You were hiding like a mouse for so long. Finally, now, I've forced you out of your mousehole," he uttered, looking ferocious.

Moore was taken aback at that. He asked in surprise, "You were the one who planned this entire operation?"

Harold gave a strange laugh. With a glare loaded with hatred in Moore's direction, he answered, "Yes. This operation, this whole trip to excavate the Dragon Mausoleum, it was just a ruse by the Chiang family! This scheme was naturally to force you out and give you your just desserts."

"You guys... Actually..." Moore's expression grew a shade darker as he exclaimed in surprise.

The people around them were even more astonished. They could not believe what was happening before their eyes. Was it a dream?

At that, Harold smugly continued, "Moore, you only obtained half of the cultivation technique from the Dragon Mausoleum. Even then, your growth was astounding, but that wasn't enough! You're still stuck in the Earth Level, unable to achieve the Heaven Level nor become a Martial Arts Master."

"Because of Daisy and your child, I knew that you would be filled with thoughts of revenge on the Chiang family. You wouldn't pass up any chance to hone your abilities."

"As such, when I heard that the Dragon Mausoleum was likely to resurface, I instantly sent someone to probe around. After that, I deliberately spread the news about the Dragon Mausoleum resurfacing, making sure to stress that there were cultivation methods among the treasures inside."

"I knew with certainty that when you heard this, with your heart full of vengeance, you would definitely come to the Dragon Mausoleum to look for the other half of the cultivation technique."

"That leads us to this! By the time you've gotten it, I would already have you surrounded with no escape route."

"Now that you know all of this, what do you think?" Looking vengeful, Harold directed the question to Moore.

When Moore heard the full story, his face fell.

As much as he didn't want to admit it, it was a fact that Harold had seen through him. This plan to capture him was a success.

There were two Heaven Level martial artists, Raleigh and Harold. Plus, Eamon and the other members of the hidden family were there as backup. Moore, who had been running for twentyodd years, found himself without a way out.

With that in mind, he couldn't repress a long sigh. Then, all the doubt, shock and fear in his eyes were washed away, replaced with a resolute determination.

His gaze bore into Harold and Raleigh intensely, and his body seemed to radiate energy, like the waves of a rolling sea. Loudly, Moore declared, "It's been twenty years. It's been long enough. Let's end it right here."

"Indeed, it's way past time to conclude it. However, your death is certain." Harold gnashed his teeth with a vengeful look.

Raleigh waved his hand, commanding the Chiang family's subordinates to surround Moore and attack him.

The battle was on the verge of breaking out; the atmosphere in the field grew particularly tense.

At that moment, Moore took a package out and threw it towards Fade. In a soft voice, he muttered, "Young man, our meeting was a blessing. This package contains the other half of the cultivation technique from the Dragon Mausoleum, and the techniques collected by me over many years."

"Your strength is commendable, and you have great potential. This isn't where you should die. When the battle starts, take this and run with all your might. Don't look back."

"Master Chen, I..." Fade seemed like he had something to say to Moore.

However, Moore's anxious instructions cut him off. "There's no need for pleasantries or anything else. If I survive today, it will be a miracle. Take it and leave. I don't need you to take revenge on my behalf after you've mastered these techniques. My only hope is that in the future, you'll find my wife and daughter and take good care of them, if that chance arises."

With those words, determination swept across Moore's features. An explosive burst of energy charged from his body, directly towards Harold and Raleigh. At the same time, he shouted at Fade, "Quick, run!"

In an instant, the battle had broken out. Moore, at the peak of the Earth level, was a force to be reckoned with when he unleashed all his energy. It was as if a terrifying storm had descended on the area. Harold, opposite him, remained rooted to the spot. Conversely, he snickered and with a wave of his hand, summoned a dark blue surge of energy.

Mid-air, the energy condensed into a thin, sharp blade. It hurtled down from the air and struck Moore's energy waves, then dissipated.

The impact also affected Moore himself. A trickle of blood seeped out of his mouth. His body swayed to and fro, and his expression turned ugly instantly. "You..." "Although Earth Level is just one level below Heaven, there's still a huge gap to bridge. Do you get that?" Smirking, Harold summoned another energy sword with a wave of his hand, and slashed it at him.

The terrifying power of the sword was felt keenly by Moore. Gritting his teeth, he unleashed more of his energy to block Harold's attack. As he did so, he shouted at Fade, "I can't hold on for much longer. Run!"
