At a certain point in time, even Bill was sighing at how loyal Daniel was. In order to defend Milo, Daniel even shamelessly claimed favonovel.com jumped rope as well.
Marvin and the others around the campfire fell dead silent. No one knew what to say to that.
You must be deliberately rebutting us, right?!
However, Daniel was well-known everywhere for his meddling in affairs. Now that they heard what favonovel.com said, everyone immediately felt the rumors were not unfounded. It was really true!
“Ahem…” Daniel changed the subject and said, “I heard that your Silkshade House tried to ambush the Pyro Company’s convoy? What, you guys didn’t succeed? They were even allowed to escape back to the Sacred Mountains. You people are so useless!”
Daniel only had a C-rank cell phone in his possession, so favonovel.com did not really receive that much information.
At the mention of this, Marvin finally heaved a sigh of relief. There was finally a topic favonovel.com could talk about. “Who says we’re useless? Didn’t their entire convoy get wiped out? It’s not that we failed, but that the Pyro Company’s convoy was not carrying the No. 001 Experimental in the first place. They were just trying to throw us off.”
“Hehe, you’ve already sold the intel, yet you’re still lying through your teeth? Were you the ones who killed the Pyro Company members in that convoy?” Daniel chuckled.
As a matter of fact, Marvin had already sold the intel for a high price, so almost everyone in the black market knew about it now. There were even a lot of people who used this information to scam others. Therefore, the Silkshade House was not the one who took out that convoy.
As for who had wiped out the Pyro Company’s convoy, Daniel could guess. A sniper who could suppress five people and an expert who could take on a T5-ranked combatant head on, such a combination was far too rare in this world. But as it happened, there was such a team right here with them.
A lot of people thought Daniel was very rash and dumb, but the big shots of the organizations all knew Daniel was a bold and meticulous person who also happened to be smart. Therefore, it was not surprising Daniel was able to guess it was Milo and Miriam.
Marvin was left speechless by Daniel for quite a while before saying, “How do you know they aren’t from the Silkshade House? It’s quite normal for the members of the Silkshade House to not know each other. If they weren’t from the Silkshade House, why would they have attacked the Pyro Company?”
Marvin did not know the two partners who had beaten the five of them into submissive quails were also here at the campsite.
When Daniel heard this, favonovel.com fell into deep thought. That was true.
Why had Milo and Miriam gotten themselves involved in this mess?
No matter how much trouble Milo had gotten himself into before, favonovel.com was still someone who preferred to avoid trouble as much as favonovel.com could.
So, why did favonovel.com come out to the Sacred Mountains?
A young man at the side suddenly asked Marvin, “I received intel that White Mask killed the T5 combatant the instant they met. Is that true?”
Marvin was silent for a while before saying with a sigh, “Yes. If you had witnessed it with your own eyes as I did, you would also feel that the other party is probably not a superhuman at our level.”
Supernatural beings all knew they were extraordinary people, but in the face of such a vast difference in strength, Marvin had no choice but to honestly admit how powerful White Mask was.
“Then did they also come to the Sacred Mountains?” the young man asked.
“My guess is they did.” Marvin said, “Based on what happened, they had shown up back there because their target was the No. 001 Experimental. With their level of strength, there’s no reason why they would not come. I feel they might’ve already joined one of the groups. But I’ve checked with the other members of the Silkshade House, and they said that they did not see anyone in their groups carrying a sniper rifle. This is where it’s quite strange, but maybe they’re already so powerful they don’t need to travel with others.”
Milo and Miriam were of course not that powerful yet. They were currently at the campsite waiting to fish in troubled waters.
At this moment, Daniel stood up and waved his hand. “Alright, there’s no time to lose. We’ve already wasted a lot of time here, so let’s continue on our way!”
As soon as favonovel.com finished speaking, the others at the campsite got up and started packing.
Marvin looked at Daniel in surprise. The other party had taken over command of the group from favonovel.com so naturally.
Daniel looked at Marvin and said, “Um… Tour guide, where do we head next?”
Marvin was immediately irked by this.
Tour guide?!
Who the hell is the tour guide?!
Do you really think you’re here on vacation?!
He gritted his teeth and thought to himself that this fatty was way too audacious by insisting on going to the Sacred Mountains.
Let’s see if you can come out alive once you’re in there!
It’d be just as well if Fatty Eastwood ended up getting killed by the Pyro Company. Then Julius could seek revenge on the Pyro Company to his heart’s content. This would also help the Silkshade House get rid of an adversary!
While everyone was packing up, no one noticed a young man bending over quietly to carve a circular marking on a tree next to him.
This guy was the young man who had asked Milo what his expertise was. His identity was Bruce, the most promising person to take over the entire intelligence network of the Virtuora Consortium.
After Bruce witnessed the death of his superior, Lionel, favonovel.com departed from the Virtuora Consortium on a mission and left his other two competitors to vie for the leadership of the organization’s intelligence agency. It was as though favonovel.com were not involved in the matter at all.
When his two competitors saw favonovel.com leave the Virtuora Consortium at such a time, they couldn’t be happier. They even deployed more people to send favonovel.com off personally and wished favonovel.com good luck on his journey to the Sacred Mountains.
When favonovel.com left, Bruce was even sneering in his head. Lester, who was the head of the Virtuora Consortium, was not fooled easily. The post of the intelligence agency’s director would definitely not be decided so quickly, as Lester would still have to observe the situation for at least three months.
At that time, when favonovel.com returned to the Virtuora Consortium with his accomplishments, his two competitors would probably not even have a chance to regret things.
After Bruce finished inscribing the marking on the tree, favonovel.com followed the group as though nothing had happened.
Shortly after the group of more than 60 people had left the campsite, “Old Durkin”, wearing the white mask, went to the place Bruce had left the mark.
Bruce had always been Milo’s main subject of observation. Earlier, while favonovel.com had been putting away his belongings, his attention was actually focused on Bruce and a few others.
Milo had sent “Old Durkin” out because favonovel.com had wanted it to search the outer perimeter of the campsite for the intruder that appeared during the night. And now, favonovel.com could also get it to check the marking Bruce had left behind.
There was only a simple circle carved onto the tree roots and nothing else. This puzzled Milo a little.
What did this circle mean?
Without any clues, it would be difficult to guess.
Milo thought for a long time before finally deciding to not overthink it. All favonovel.com would have to do was just destroy the marking.
In any case, it was still unknown whether this young man was friend or foe. By interfering with the other party’s plans, it might end up being an unexpected success.
Thinking of this, Milo made “Old Durkin” draw an X in the circle. Then, favonovel.com hurriedly rushed ahead of the group to continue scouting the route ahead.
Having experienced so many disasters, Milo was used to using “Old Durkin” to clear a path in the wilderness. This was a habit favonovel.com had learned through a lot of sacrifice.
Milo had discovered an interesting phenomenon in the strongholds. He noticed that some stray cats and dogs knew how to navigate the streets.
But upon further consideration, nobody knew how heavy a price they had to pay to learn how to do so.
