Chapter 229: Heir of the first gate Part2

John Augustin took a sip of the herbal tea and started explaining the secret behind this world and the Nine gates of hell.

"Son, since you already know the existence of the nine gates, you must also know that there were only eight gates until a few years ago and the ninth gate sprouted out of nowhere just recently."

"Your uncle is the leader of this ninth gate!"

"The eight gates of hell are eight ancient societies or organizations or clans or whatever you want to call us."

"Our sole purpose for existing on this planet is to prevent something evil and dark from getting out."

"We closely guard the eight seals binding this evil to the netherworld."

"But only clan leaders know this secret. Your uncle, the one who kidnapped and tortured you, doesn't know this."

"He rebelled against the family and chose a dark and evil path for cultivation by murdering innocent civilians."
