Jerome only summoned a dozen or so monsters, so they were easy to deal with.
Yang Cheng wielded the Soul-Severing Spear, its blades flashing and raining down. Bloodthirsty power erupted, and his profound skills tore the monsters apart in an instant.
A look of horror appeared in Jerome's only eye.
The Hell Gatekeepers he summoned could be torn apart even by ordinary demon hunters. Just what level of superhuman was this guy, that he could kill more than a dozen Hell Gatekeepers in such a short time?
"Where did you summon these monsters from? And what are they?"
Jerome suddenly ripped his clothes apart, revealing a horrifying scene.
His body was completely empty, without any internal organs, but his skin was engraved with shiny black and red runes.
"Don't come any closer! I have already sacrificed my flesh and blood to Gordon. As long as I sacrifice my soul to Gordon, I will be able to summon her descent!"
I said I would only watch that bastard Harkins die in front of me!
As long as you bring him here, I will immediately stop the summoning, and I will tell you anything you want to know!
Otherwise, if Gordon arrives, everyone in Scrap Iron Street will die, the entire West End, the entire St. Brand will die!
Yang Cheng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Alright, I agree to your request!"
Hughes quickly looked at Yang Cheng: "Mr. Yang, but..."
Yang Cheng said calmly, "There's no 'but.' I can kill him, but I can't stop him from sacrificing his own soul to bring down the evil god."
Besides, I'm not even sure what Gordon's situation is. If he really has the power to destroy the entire Saint Brand, the consequences would be unimaginable for both of us.
Jerome said with a ferocious expression, "Twelve hours! I'm only giving you twelve hours!"
If I don't see that bastard Harkins in twelve hours, I'm going to immediately begin summoning Gordon!
Yang Cheng grabbed Hughes and left the underground area as quickly as possible.
Jerome can summon the evil god, but if he dies, where will he find clues about Hades' Child?
Yang Cheng had been somewhat carefree all along, but only now did he truly become serious.
Back upstairs, Grace quickly came over and asked, "Mr. Yang, has the problem been resolved inside?"
Yang Cheng shook his head and said, "It wasn't solved; instead, we discovered a huge problem."
Just then, a carriage approached from afar; it turned out to be Master Morton.
Grace quickly said, "I've already spoken to the Alchemists' Guild and told them not to disturb your experiment."
Morton shook his head and said, "I'm unlucky, but you're lucky. My experiment failed, so I came to check it out after receiving the news."
If I had known Mr. Yang was here, I wouldn't have bothered making the trip.
How is the situation now?
Upon seeing Master Morton arrive, Hughes immediately recounted in detail what had happened since they entered the hospital.
Finally, Hughes asked somewhat nervously, "Master Morton, do you know what kind of evil god Gordon is?"
Master Morton did not answer, but asked instead, "Was the hospital built before or after the steel mill's business was booming?"
Did the steel mill decline before or after the hospital closed?
Hughes quickly went to look through the information they had found before and said, "When Harkins Steel was first established, it was actually not very well managed."
By then, the Assyrian Kingdom had passed its peak of development, and its demand for steel was no longer as strong.
As for the high-strength steel used in shipbuilding and firearms manufacturing, it was monopolized by a few large noble steel mills. Harkins Steel Mill did not have the capability to manufacture special steel.
It wasn't until after the hospital was established that the Huggins Steel Plant inexplicably became very successful, even cooperating with several factories owned by the Kingdom's royal family.
However, the Harkins Steelworks' prosperity did not last more than a few years. After about three years of booming business, the steelworks began to decline.
The hospital closed down just before the steel mill collapsed.
Master Morton, was there some kind of connection between the steel mill and Tzu Chi Private Hospital from the very beginning?
Master Morton nodded, his expression extremely solemn. "That's right, the prosperity of Harkins Steel Works is inextricably linked to Tzu Chi Private Hospital."
That bastard Huggins! He almost killed countless people!
If I'm not mistaken, the array altar beneath the Tzu Chi Private Hospital is used to summon Gordon, the god of wishes!
