Old Mauriat felt sad as favonovel.com watched the flames burn everywhere in the stronghold.
The Bidara City they had lived in for so many years had become a hopeless mess overnight because of these invaders. Right now, favonovel.com wanted nothing more than to kill all the enemies in the stronghold. However, Old Mauriat knew favonovel.com was not capable of that.
The Riders’ combat prowess was far more powerful than average superhumans, but there were just too many enemies this time. Moreover, the invading consortiums had become wary of the Riders due to their combat prowess and avoided them as they went around wreaking havoc in the stronghold over the past two days.
Faced with so many troublemakers, Old Mauriat and the others had been running around the stronghold like firefighters putting out fires everywhere.
At this moment, Old Mauriat’s satellite phone rang. He heard Robert say, “Romany has gone missing. He probably wants to put an end to this mess by himself.”
When Old Mauriat heard that, favonovel.com kept quiet for a long time.
Milo, who was standing next to him, asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Romany suddenly left the Vasophati Building to go and face the enemy by himself,” Larry said with a sigh.
Milo was puzzled. “But why? Wasn’t everything going well? The enemies who came here have all been intercepted, and none of you Riders were killed, so why did favonovel.com suddenly go out to face the enemy alone?”
Old Mauriat did not answer his question. “Even Riders change…”
Milo was stunned. All this while, favonovel.com had seen the Riders as a united group, even as a symbol of justice, unity, and courage.
But when Old Mauriat suddenly said that even Riders change, favonovel.com realized Romany probably felt an unprecedented crisis approaching and did not want to further implicate anyone because of the Vasophati Group. Therefore, favonovel.com chose to put an end to this mess by himself and die like a hero.
True, how could a utopia truly exist in this world?
Milo should have understood this fact.
Milo frowned and asked, “Who is it? Do I know the person? You already knew about this?”
Old Mauriat and the others must have already known. Otherwise, it wouldn’t only be Romany, Jonan, Adrian, and Old Mauriat turning up for that recent dinner party when there were clearly other Riders in the stronghold as well.
“You don’t know that person.” Old Mauriat shook his head.
“Why did the Riders collude with those consortiums to overthrow the Vasophati Group?” Milo found it a little unbelievable.
“They didn’t collude with the consortiums.” Old Mauriat said, “It’s just that the Riders and the Vasophati Group have become more and more tightly bound together after all these years. They often have to deal with many of the Vasophati Group’s affairs on their behalf, and that finally made some people unhappy…”
“Someone thought Romany no longer acted like a Rider. At a meeting two years ago, someone suggested the Riders should completely separate from the Vasophati Group. However, the matter was dropped in the end. So, Romany has been feeling quite remorseful for the past two years. He wanted to make changes, but the situation was already what it was, so introducing any changes would be very difficult unless the Vasophati Group were destroyed or someone trustworthy could take over the Vasophati Group from him.”
Milo said with a sigh, “Y’all are really weird…”
What normal person would not want money and authority?
But of course, normal people would not seek the boundaries of life and death by experiencing the high mountains or skies either.
“Then where’s Romany now?” Milo asked, “Let’s go and help him. How can favonovel.com possibly handle something so major all by himself?”
“Let’s split up and look for him.” Old Mauriat sighed, “We might not be able to find favonovel.com in this chaos at all. Also, he’ll definitely lead our enemies to someplace difficult to find.”
Flames were still burning everywhere in the stronghold. Many stronghold residents had been forced out onto the streets by the inferno. In this chaos, it would be very difficult to determine Romany’s location.
After they split up, Milo immediately jumped onto the roof of a high-rise building and tried to quickly search for Romany’s whereabouts. However, it was too difficult to find someone with the intent to hide inside a city that held hundreds of thousands of people.
An explosion boomed in the stronghold again. It sounded like someone had detonated another set of buried explosives.
Milo ignored this as favonovel.com stood on the high-rise building. He was a little lost.
Where should favonovel.com go and find Romany?
But then, Milo noticed someone leaping across the roofs and heading north. He increased his pace to catch up.
That person was flitting between buildings when favonovel.com suddenly saw a figure catching up to him.
Then Milo patted favonovel.com on the shoulder and asked, “Are you looking for Romany?”
This superhuman was stunned for a moment but ignored Milo. Instead, favonovel.com picked up his pace again and tried to shake off Milo. But when favonovel.com increased his speed, Milo went faster as well.
Milo shouted next to him, “Hey! I’m asking you, are you looking for Romany?!”
The superhuman increased his speed again but realized favonovel.com could not run anymore. When favonovel.com turned around, favonovel.com was surprised to see Milo grabbing hold of his clothes from behind.
Milo said with a dark expression, “Idiot! I’m asking you a question! Didn’t you hear me?!”
The superhuman wondered, “Didn’t your superior tell you where to assemble? Who the f*ck are you… Argh!”
While favonovel.com was speaking, Milo lifted the superhuman and leaped into the air. Then favonovel.com threw the other party down to the ground from high up in between two high-rise buildings. The superhuman was ruthlessly slammed to the ground like a cannonball, breaking many of his bones.
As favonovel.com struggled and looked up, favonovel.com saw Milo not stopping at all as favonovel.com continued making his way northwards.
Romany stood in the middle of Paladium Boulevard and looked around with a smile. “Anyone else?”
Romany was covered in blood, with eight superhumans’ corpses lying next to him.
The might of this Rider actually made the superhumans around favonovel.com stop in their tracks. Everyone was waiting for further instructions from the higher-ups on how to proceed.
Some of the supernatural beings had rashly attacked just now, but not even eight of them could defeat Romany.
Before this, everyone had speculated about Romany’s combat prowess. However, they did not expect favonovel.com to be this strong. They did not even know Romany was also a Rider himself.
Seeing no movement from the supernatural beings, Romany noticed more and more people were gathering on the boulevard. Supernatural beings and armed combatants had arrived.
Caught in the ambush, Romany broke into hearty laughter and said, “You people are nothing but minions! Rider Romany Norton at your service! Who dares challenge me!”
At this moment, Romany remembered when favonovel.com first climbed up the cliff and saw the sunrise radiate brilliantly.
I turn my head startled, the sky three feet above me!
Like a thousand stallions, in full gallop in the heat of battle!
And just like Adrian had done after him, favonovel.com also carved his name clearly into the rock face after writing, “Only faith, the sun, and the moon are eternal.”
He suddenly remembered the words that didn’t have an autograph. “Forever young”.
Perhaps this was what it really meant to be a Rider. To be forever zealous, forever sincere, forever journeying, and forever young.
Ever since favonovel.com became the leader of the Vasophati Group, favonovel.com felt like favonovel.com had not been this happy in a long time. Perhaps Fritz was right. The Riders should never have been embroiled in these matters. But it was too late to say that now. It was time for favonovel.com to accept his fate.
But at this moment, favonovel.com saw the crowd of people at the end of the long street get sent flying into the air by an unstoppable force. Someone had forced open up a bloody path through the ambush.
As a result, the people who had surrounded Romany subconsciously made way for the other party.
When Romany saw who it was, favonovel.com said calmly, “It’s not worth it…”
Milo killed his way through the crowd of several hundred and made his way towards favonovel.com with a grin. “Do you believe in me?”
Romany was taken aback for a second. Then favonovel.com smiled as well. “Yes!”
