Chapter 319 The Dark Room
Levi nodded and went on to talk about the current situation of the Henderson family.
"Since Grandma left the Henderson family, only the Solomon line remains, Solomon's wife passed
away a few years ago, he has a daughter and a son, that son has been killed by Zach, and his
daughter has now started a family and moved away from the Henderson family. Solomon did not pass
on the Henderson family's ancient medical skills and the secret of raising compulsions to her, so he is
now in a state of unsuccessful succession."
At these words, Ruby snorted, "Solomon has really passed down this bit of old feudalism of the
Henderson family, his son is gone and he still doesn't pass it down to his daughter, his daughter is a
member of the Henderson family."
Levi was very unimpressed: "Heh, no wonder he tried to kill Matteo even though he was desperate for
his life."
After another twenty minutes, the two finally arrived at Henderson's house.
The Henderson’s house had been built deep in the mountains, surrounded by no human beings.
Ruby got out of the car and looked at the somewhat depressed building in front of her with little emotion
in her eyes.
This was the place where Grandma lived and where she suffered so much.
The once great Henderson family was now reduced to the not-so-thriving Solomon line.
She wondered how distressed the Henderson family ancestors would be if they were to learn of this
underground.
Levi got out of the car at this point and walked around the front to stand alongside her.
Only then did the two appear, and soon the man garrisoning the entrance came over, and only when he
got closer did Ruby discover that it was actually Chester.
"Mr. Levi!" Chester greeted, then looked at Ruby with a smile, "Mrs. Finn!"
Ruby raised her eyebrows and glanced sideways at Levi.
Levi lowered his eyes, met her gaze and said in a warm voice, "They naturally call you Mrs. Finn for
you have married to me."
Ruby pursed her lips and didn't want to say anything, "Let’s go."
Chester nodded and gave the men at the door a look to open the door.
In a few moments, the barred door opened, creaking as if in disrepair.
With a sound, a few leaves fell from the old trees in the compound and drifted noiselessly to the
ground.
Ruby was not interested in the surroundings and went straight to the mansion.
The moment she stepped through the mahogany door, she smelled a faint musty odour and her brow
twitched.
Walking into the ancient and spacious living room, she was not surprised to see Solomon sitting on the
sofa.
As for Solomon, he was not surprised by her and Levi's arrival.
"Hmph, here you are at last! When the hell are you going to get rid of those people at the gate!"
Levi's face was slightly colder and his voice was deeper: "I do regret that I didn't send someone to
press you to come back a few days ago, which gave you the opportunity to exploit a loophole and tip
off the Hussain family."
As soon as these words were spoken, the face of Solomon suddenly turned pale.
He gritted his teeth, his gloomy gaze looking at Ruby, his tone unkind: "So what? I know the Hussain
family didn't get the job done, hehe, it's just a bunch of trash!"
Ruby was not annoyed, just how carelessly stared at him, her tone light.
"I am curious, are you loyal to the Henderson family or are you not? You actually want the Hussain
family to snatch away the Henderson family's secret arts, aren't you afraid that when you die and meet
the old ancestors of the Henderson family, they will scold you for being ungrateful?"
Hearing these words, the expression on Solomon's face changed, clenching his teeth as his eyes were
covered with resentment.
"I'm ungrateful? Well, I'm just helping your grandmother see the truth! Let her know what it means to be
ungrateful! I'm sure you've seen what kind of people the Hussain family is! Your grandmother was
determined to break off relations with the Henderson family and join the Hussain family, but what
happened now? She's still dead, and the Hussain family won't even let her rest in peace? Ha, she
really deserved it!"
Ruby had heard him say these words too many times.
At that moment, her face was expressionless, her eyes were cool as she stared at him and said in a
cold voice: "For your misunderstanding of my grandmother, my grandmother has already explained,
whether you believe it or not, it has nothing to do with me, and I am too lazy to pay attention to
someone as obstinate as you. I think you are also clear about the purpose of my coming today, don't
say so much useless nonsense, hurry up and hand over the mother compulsion."
Solomon's wrinkled face floated with resignation, "That mother compulsion is the Henderson family's
heritage, who are you!"
Levi’s eyes darkened and he subconsciously took a step forward.
Ruby caught him, gave him a wink and shook her head gently.
The corners of Levi’s mouth were lightly pursed and he finally said nothing and did nothing.
Solomon looked at this scene and just laughed coldly: "What? What am I saying is wrong? When your
grandmother left in the first place, she had long since ceased to be a member of the Henderson family,
in other words, neither are you the family member, so what qualifications do you have to ask me for the
Henderson family's things?"
Ruby did not care at all about his attitude, so she smiled coolly: "It is not for you to say whether I am
qualified or not, Solomon, do you think you still have the possibility to fight against me now? Even if you Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
refuse to hand it over voluntarily, if I want to search it, I can still find it."
At these words, Solomon looked like he was very disdainful and snorted coldly, "Is that so? Then you
can search and see if you can find it!"
Ruby did not respond immediately, just stared at his expression, and then the corners of his lips curled.
"It seems that this house indeed has a dark room."
When he heard the word "dark room", Solomon's confident face changed.
He glared sharply at Ruby and questioned in a stern voice: "How do you know that? What else do you
know? Did your grandmother say something to you?"
At these words, Ruby laughed softly: "What are you talking about? My grandmother has never
mentioned the Henderson family in all these years, but it was only with the appearance of the human-
faced compulsion that she realized that something was wrong and talked about your existence,
otherwise, I am a stranger to the Henderson family."
"Then you ......"
"I was just trying to trick you, seeing that you were so sure that I could search at will, I guessed that you
must have hidden all the compulsions in a very secret place, what else could there be but a dark
room?"
As she said that, she gave Levi a sideways glance, her expression light: "Aren't you curious as to why
the Henderson family has been living in seclusion in this deep forest for generations? In fact, my
answer is only the surface reason, while the deeper reason is because the Henderson family cannot
leave this place."
When Levi’s eyebrows frowned slightly and he immediately responded, "You mean ......"
