Of course, he could not voice such suspicion. After all, he was a leader, and if he was not confident, he would never be able to lead his subordinates to accomplish their tasks.Desmond turned to look at Pascal. "How long has it been?"Pascal looked at the array in his hand. "It's been fourteen hours."Desmond frowned as he looked at the top of the Vermillion Tune Formation. There were large red letters that showed '117' on the formation. The number indicated the progress of the warriors that were carrying out the tasks. At that point, they had captured 117 people alive.If they wanted Heartblood, they would need to make sure that the captives were alive. Then, they needed to use the cruelest methods to obtain as much Heartblood as they could.Desmond took a deep breath and said in displeasure, "They only got a hundred and seventeen people in fourteen hours? What are they doing? How did the first day yield so little?! It's not like it's a hard assignment!"Desmond got angrier as
They had only been hiding behind the hills as observers, not daring to step in at all, but the three of them did not expect that Fane would rush to them after he dealt with Tanner's group. The three of them were stunned.After all, none of them expected that they would still be noticed despite the distance. The three of them only realized their error when Fane rushed over to them with his sword in hand.Right after that, Lourain arrived as well. His eyes widened in shock when he saw there were people hiding there. They truly underestimated Fane's perception!Fane was a soul attribute warrior. After training in that attribute for so long and absorbing so many treasures, his soul was as strong as one that had gone through a few hundred years of training. It was several times stronger than the soul of a regular person.The stronger the soul was, the better one's perception would be. Even warriors at the peak did not have a perception at Fane's level. The moment those three even saw Fa
Maxcus had a wry smile on his face as he told Fane and Lourain what happened to them.After hearing Maxcus' explanation, Fane's expression started to ease. From what Maxcus was saying, it was likely that Maxcus was not lying. If it really was as he said, Fane could let him off.Just as Fane was thinking about it, two green demons and two crimson demons with straight postures started to quickly head toward them.The four demons were incredibly quick and much more agile than regular demons.Brock held the mask on his face as he turned to look at the other green demon."Hey, Lenny! You know how we are! Don't even think about pulling any tricks. Since you said you wanted to work together, make sure everything is fair and above board. Otherwise, don't even bother with 'working together'. I'll get you if I ever find out you pulled something!"Lenny had a green demon mask on as well. Underneath the mask, his expression was a bit twisted as he tried to hold back the disgust in his heart.
At that moment, Fane had been thinking about what to do with Maxcus when he suddenly felt a strange movement. He could sense the arrival of four men on the hill next to them. The geography was quite complex where they were, and there were many hills and valleys that obstructed one's sight—which the newcomers took advantage of to hide.The ones who had arrived were Brock and the others, who were disguised as demons. Lazlo was after Fane's bunch. At the time, they had been quite far away from Fane and the others, having been almost twice as far away as Maxcus.They just happened to be waiting there for someone else and witnessed Tanner's group rushing in front of Fane. Right after that, they saw Maxcus' group arriving quietly before hiding behind the hill.Seeing a total of nine warriors gathered in one area, both Lazlo and Lenny were ecstatic. After all, they only managed to capture six men even after being there for so many hours, which was embarrassing.Other than those who were w
When that was said, the other four were even more stunned. They could understand each word, but as a sentence, they could not understand what was being said at all.Fane looked at their confused expressions and added exasperatedly, "If you've forgotten, just try and remember what happened just now."The other four slowly started to understand after being given the hint. Fane's perception was very strong. He noticed very quickly that Maxcus' group was hiding. Fane said that something similar happened, which told them that there was another group hiding somewhere.The few of them exchanged looks with each other, and they felt their hearts starting to beat faster. Fane frowned, not even turning his head around. He could feel that the group that was hiding was behind them and to the left.To not startle his opponents, Fane did not want to look their way. He told Maxcus and the others because he did not want his identity to be revealed again. It was one thing for Maxcus' group to have g
Lenny scoffed and said, "What? You're planning on taking that man for yourself?"Brock did not hesitate to nod.Lenny could not stop himself from sneering, "I can't believe you actually said that. No matter how you look at it, either Lazlo or I should be the one to take him. We found those people, and we were the ones who suggested working together!"The two of you just happen to be with us. Other than that, you haven't contributed anything. I really don't know where you got the guts to say that you want that man for yourself!"The more Lenny spoke, the angrier he got. He felt Brock was being absurd and shameless. Anyone with a shred of integrity would not have jumped up at that moment to say that the additional person should be theirs.After all, no matter how you look at it, the two of them should not get the additional person at all. Lenny and Lazlo were the ones who started everything. Even though Lenny's words were a bit harsh, they were incredibly logical. However, Brock did
When Brock heard that, there was anger in his eyes, "You're finally showing your true colors now? You even swore that you wouldn't pull any tricks just now! Look at what's happening now. When you needed us, you begged us for help. When you don't, you cancel the agreement just because you're afraid we'll take the spoils! Don't you think you're being such a joke right now? "Who do you think you are to make us leave just because you said so? The prey over there doesn't belong to you. Kent and I have seen them, so we naturally want them too. As for who the prey will end up belonging to, we'll see who ends up getting it!"The moment that was said, the atmosphere suddenly turned incredibly tense. Brock and Lenny, in particular, refused to back off. Lazlo sighed helplessly, worried that something would happen if they dragged things on too much. Lenny and that idiot were both incredibly hot-tempered and let their emotions drive them too much.Nothing good would come from continuing to figh
Maxcus shook his head vigorously, "I swear to you that we definitely don't have any enemies at that level. We're not crazy enough to fight against our betters!"Maxcus could tell what Fane meant by that question. Fane was guessing that those four disguised humans were enemies of Maxcus' group. Fane raised an eyebrow as he looked at the four that were in disguise with a sharp expression, trying to guess who they were.They were on the Toman Battlefield. Normally, there was no need to kill each other unless there were any grudges. That was because killing each other did not yield any rewards unlike in Chaos City.If anyone met each other, they would usually just observe each other from a distance. Those with ill intentions would mostly be like Tanner, threatening to kill others unless money was given.The four in front of them were clearly not there to rob them. They were in disguise, so they must have already planned it. From a distance, it was impossible to tell that those were dis
