Chapter 1054 Xavier Callum âCheck out this Seven Repel motorcycle, worth 3,000,000 golorbs!â Kristian exclaimed as he looked at the vehicle.
âEquipped with two heavy cannons, itâs a guaranteed death for super experts, and even the Half-Step Flame Decayer would be in danger.â
As a top-tier wealthy second-generation member of the Havotune family, this guy seemed to be just as knowledgeable about these things as Benson.
Aside from the car, there were about ten people standing there, all armed with weapons. As Gerald and his companions approached in their vehicle, everyone stood up and turned their attention towards them. âSupreme Flame Decayer!â Gerald licked his lips.
Yes, among the opposing crowd, there indeed was a supreme Flame Decayer. Beside her, Lucinda pondered for a moment before saying, âLetâs show some initiative and display our strength.
Out here in the wilderness, in order to avoid trouble and conflict, we need to reveal our muscles as much as possible.â In fact, this was a contradiction within Geraldâs team. Out in the wild, in order to avoid trouble, it was necessary to let others know about their strength.
Their squad consisted of seven members in total. Apart from Kristian, all of them were experts at the supreme level of Flame Decay. Among the six supreme Flame Decayers, Gerald was even a supreme peak Flame Decayer. Such a combination was equally eye-catching. âTriston!â
Gerald called out to Triston. Triston nodded and willingly released his aura.
Upon sensing the aura of Triston, the supreme Flame Decayer, the expressions in the eyes of the group of people opposite him changed noticeably.
Then, the expert with the supreme level of Flame Decay from the other side reached out his hand, stopping Gerald and his companions.
Lucinda stepped on the brakes, and the hover car came to a stop near the solid ground within the marsh. Gerald gave Triston a meaningful glance.
Triston understood perfectly, after all, he was once a leader of the Watchmen, having carried out countless missions. He was very skilled in knowing what to say and do when out in the field.
He opened the hover carâs door, cheerfully asking the other person, âPal, whatâs up?â Blocking their way was a man with a stubbly beard, extremely burly, and his entire face exuded an air of righteousness.
Of course, Gerald knew that this kind of temperament might also be just an act. That rugged man looked at Triston and said, âPal, are you planning to enter the Misty Mound Forest?â
âUm, we need to go to a place, and we have to pass through here to get there,â Triston said with a smile. âAre you guys robbing this place?â
âWhat a joke, Pal. We were planning to cross this place too, but last night, there were some strange movements in the Misty Mound Forest, Weird animal roars could be heard, so crossing the Misty Mound Forest at this time might be a bit dangerous. Thatâs why we thought about waiting for some people to join us before going through,â the burly man explained.
âStrange movement?â Triston asked discreetly, âDid any treasures appear?â
âWhat treasures could there be in Misty Mound Forest? If there is one, it would probably crawl out of the swamp and swallow you whole,â the burly man said with a hearty laugh.
âI know who this person is.â At this moment, Lucinda suddenly whispered in the car. âHmm?â Geraldâs expression shifted slightly as he asked, âWho?â
âIt seems to be Xavier Callum!â Lucinda exclaimed, âHeâs quite famous on Promise Island. Heâs a rather experienced supreme Flame Decayer, with his own small force and a secure base. He has helped many people, so he has a good reputation!â
âOh?â Gerald looked at the burly man in surprise, wondering if the sense of righteousness he exuded was genuine. âCome to think of it, I do have a vague impression,â Kristian suddenly said.
âThereâs a force in Skylark City called âVertex,â and this Xavier must be a member of that force, right?â Lucinda nodded and said, âIndeed, itâs him!â
âIf itâs him, heâs indeed quite well-known. He often did good deeds in Skylark City and treated some slaves very well. He was quite famous within Skylark City. However, for some unknown reason, he left that force and disappeared. I didnât expect him to end up on Promise Island,â Kristian said. Outside, Triston and Xavier chatted about a wide range of topics. After a while, Triston went back to the hover car and closed the door, saying, âThis guyâs name is Xavier Callum. He seems like a decent person, but since weâre out here in the wilderness, we canât completely trust them. He mentioned that there was some unusual activity in the swamp yesterday. He suggested that we wait for some more people and then go together. What do you all think?â
Gerald shook his head and said, âLetâs decline! Itâs better for us to go there alone, and try not to interact too much with others on this trip.â
âGreat!â Triston exclaimed!
He jumped down and exchanged a few words with Xavier. A hint of regret appeared on Xavierâs face, and then he ran back to the hover car.
Lucinda started the car once again, drove around Xavier and his companions, and continued on her way into the swamp.
Although there were some strange movements inside, the strength of their small team was quite formidable, so Gerald and the others didnât feel there was much to be afraid of.
The car continued on its journey for a while, and Anabel came over to the driverâs seat. She raised an eyebrow and glanced at Lucinda, who was driving, and asked, âYou must have known about the unusual activity in Misty Mound Forest yesterday. Why didnât you mention it to us?â
Lucinda was momentarily stunned, then hurriedly said, âAfter I met up with you guys, I had to deal with those people, and then I completely forgot. Iâm sorry...â
âNo worries, just be more careful next time!â Anabel reminded them. She stepped back from the driverâs seat and sat down next to Gerald, whispering softly, âKeep an eye on this Lucinda; there might be an issue.â
âHmm?â Geraldâs expression shifted slightly as he raised his head to look at Lucinda, who was driving, and then nodded in agreement.
At this moment, next to Gerald, Sylvie was continuously flipping a coin in her hand. Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and she was murmuring something under her breath.
âHowâs it going?â Kristian asked. Sylvie shook her head and said, âIâve divined many times, and the results were all negative.
Crossing this swamp now could be dangerous.â âAre you telling fortunes?â Gerald asked Sylvie with a puzzled look.
He knew that Sylvieâs attribute-related ability had some connection with divination, and at this moment, he looked over with great interest. Gerald didnât really believe in this stuff, but Kristian was absolutely convinced. He asked earnestly, âIs it true?â
âUgh, Iâve flipped the coin many times, and it always lands on tails. I suggest... we find a place to rest for the night and cross this area tomorrow,â Sylvie said, frowning.
âGerald, letâs set off again after taking a break!â Kristian said, looking at Gerald. Gerald nodded his head.
At this moment, Kristian said to Lucinda, âLetâs find a place to park on land, and we can rest for the night before continuing on our journey.â
In Lucindaâs eyes, a fleeting hint of struggle could be seen before she nodded in agreement. She obediently found a spot within the swamp and parked the hover car there.
