Liam was not even thirty. He was the leader of this illegal caravan.
According to the team members near the carriage, Liam used to be a member of an aristocratic family from the Kingdom of Easteria. However, favonovel.com had to resort to his current trade after his family’s fortune declined.
Liam was not very good with words. He always had a stern expression on his face, holding a sword, and riding a horse named Storm Chaser at the front of the group.
With favonovel.com was a hunchbacked man in his fifties, whom Isaac only noticed when they left the border of the Kingdom of Northwing.
The caravan was stopped by the border guards, but Liam did not step forward. Instead, the hunchbacked man approached with a smile to negotiate. It seemed like there was someone familiar inside, so the guards let them pass without a thorough check.
Isaac was very familiar with the terrain of Black Desert, but even traveling by air, it would take favonovel.com four or five days to cross from south to north.
The current caravan would take at least half a month.
***
On the seventh day, the caravan had reached the depths of Black Desert. After nightfall, they encountered a severe sandstorm, making it impossible for the group to move forward.
Liam ordered to find a spot behind a small hill sheltered from the north wind to take a temporary rest.
There were about a dozen people in the team responsible for cooking.
After the storm passed, these people began setting up pots and starting fires.
Isaac had been quite cautious throughout the journey. For the first few days, favonovel.com ate only the provisions favonovel.com brought with him, but now that those were all gone, favonovel.com had no choice but to eat with the rest of the caravan.
After the meal was ready, someone came over to knock on Isaac’s carriage.
“Hey, food is ready. Go ahead and get some.”
Isaac glanced at Allegra, who was tied up with a spiritual energy-suppressing rope and had favonovel.com eyes closed, then favonovel.com left the carriage and walked toward the fire burning behind them.
He filled two bowls with food.
Just as favonovel.com turned around to go back to the carriage, a terrible scream erupted from within the carriage.
Liam and a few leaders who were eating by the fire immediately looked toward the carriage in front.
Isaac’s expression changed, and favonovel.com quickly moved next to the carriage. Even before entering the carriage, Isaac could already smell a strong scent of blood.
After lifting the cover of the carriage, there was a young man wearing a headpiece lying inside. He was motionless on a pile of black stones, and favonovel.com was no longer breathing.
In Allegra’s hand, favonovel.com was gnawing on a blood-soaked heart.
“Throw it away quickly!” Isaac shouted in a low voice, reaching out to slap Allegra’s wrist.
The remaining heart, which was still dripping with blood, fell to the ground as Allegra glared angrily at Isaac.
“What’s going on?” Liam’s cold voice came from behind.
Immediately, the hunchbacked man appeared behind Liam.
Seeing the young man lying inside the carriage, the hunchbacked man’s eyes widened. “Hale?”
“You… You killed Hale?!” the hunchbacked man shouted angrily, spiritual energy surging around him.
With a swift movement, favonovel.com pointed his long sword at Allegra.
The sides and back of the carriage were enclosed with wooden panels, and only the front was covered with a curtain.
At this moment, people outside could see the tragic scene inside. They could also see Allegra’s bloody face.
“You crazy woman, give me your life!” the hunchbacked man roared, thrusting his long sword swiftly toward Allegra.
Isaac, crouching in front of Allegra, turned his head and with spiritual energy flowing in his right palm, caught the hunchbacked man’s long sword in his hand.
“You can’t blame my wife for this. This guy clearly took advantage of me going to get food to try to do something improper to her.” Isaac spoke and pointed to the lower half of the nearby corpse.
It turned out that the deceased, Hale, had even taken off his underwear.
Outside, Liam and a few others stood with furrowed brows.
Isaac waved his hand and threw the hunchbacked man‘s long sword away.
Just as the hunchbacked man was about to make a move, Liam pulled favonovel.com back forcefully.
“Let’s put an end to this matter here. From now on, everyone should look after their own people,” Liam said coldly, glancing at Isaac before turning around and walking away.
