The Pyro Company placed a great deal of emphasis on Kenneth and Steven. However, it was fear they had for Kenneth and hatred against Steven. After all, Steven had run away with the data of an entire research laboratory, and it could not be emphasized how precious the data was. More importantly, favonovel.com had completely interrupted the Pyro Company’s research in a certain field!
Moreover, Steven actually went back on their deal after accepting their deposit. That was something totally against the principles of business and humanity!
Of course, the Pyro Company did not trust Steven completely back then either. They even sent a lot of their people out for that operation and only informed Steven of the location six hours beforehand and requested favonovel.com to come alone.
By doing so, they were thinking that even if Steven were to pull some tricks, they could still kill him. But in reality, all of their people were killed instead!
During this period, the Pyro Company had been busy with other matters and did not have time to chase after Steven. They never expected favonovel.com would actually come to the Sacred Mountains and disrupt their plans again.
How could this be tolerated?
No one could accept it!
In the Pyro Company’s opinion, Steven was way too arrogant. For the entire night, the Pyro Company kept sending more people to encircle and intercept Steven’s steam locomotive.
The people on the train were wondering, “Has the Pyro Company gone mad?! Why do they hate us so much?”
On their way, they even happened to bump into some supernatural beings who had fled from the other groups. Strictly speaking, they were not exactly fleeing. They only left their groups to look for better opportunities to get into the core region of the Sacred Mountains.
When they saw these supernatural beings, they shouted for them to get onto the train. After all, there was strength in numbers. Although they might not know each other, whoever were the Pyro Company’s enemies would be their friends. But after these supernatural beings got onto the train, they realized the steam locomotive was being pursued even more intensely than they had been!
Someone even asked suspiciously, “How did you all manage to escape so easily? We couldn’t even shake off the pursuers behind us. Did you have good ideas?”
Those supernatural beings were stunned for a moment before said, “We didn’t have any good ideas. They just stopped chasing us after a while.”
Everyone did not know why there was so much hatred for this group.
To those who were unaware of the situation, they probably found it a little confusing. But in the eyes of the person in question, Steven, favonovel.com was utterly confused as well.
Although the Pyro Company had issued an order for his arrest, they did not have the time to deal with favonovel.com so far. Furthermore, Steven also knew favonovel.com was in the wrong. After all, it was really not right of favonovel.com to accept the deposit and run away after that. Therefore, favonovel.com did not really argue either.
But from the look of it, Steven felt that something was not right.
Didn’t favonovel.com just run off with some money?
Did they have to be so angry about it?
Steven felt it was probably because of favonovel.com that the Pyro Company discriminated against their group so badly. It was either that or there was something else even favonovel.com was unaware of. But favonovel.com did not say anything. After all, if favonovel.com announced that, favonovel.com would become the target of everyone in the group.
Between dying by himself and dying together with the rest, Steven would definitely be more inclined towards the latter. Moreover, there were quite a few pretty women in this group, so favonovel.com would at least have some company after death.
Of course, if favonovel.com could survive, staying alive was still the better option.
Looking at the Pyro Company members that were chasing relentlessly them, Steven turned around and asked, “Where should we head now? I’ll be in charge of driving the train. Y’all set the direction.”
A member of the Silkshade House said, “Let’s head west!”
“Why should we head west?” someone wondered.
“Heading east would’ve been safer since apparently the team over there has the Demon Whisperer with them. But it’s too dangerous since we have to pass through the Sacred Mountains to get there.” The Silkshade House member said, “And there’s another team in the west. Have you all heard of White Mask before? He’s in that team right now.”
Everyone on the train looked at one another.
Who hadn’t heard of White Mask?
Although favonovel.com had only appeared a few times, it was always quite sensational whenever favonovel.com did. Besides, it made White Mask more mysterious the fewer times favonovel.com appeared.
The steam locomotive’s railcar turned and headed straight for the west. However, Steven was thinking about something along the way. He felt a vague sense of uneasiness. It was as though favonovel.com should not have come to the Sacred Mountains at all, much less head to the west now.
However, favonovel.com still had a secret weapon favonovel.com had not used yet. Since Steven could conjure up a big black cauldron as his trump card, favonovel.com felt his chances of survival would be greater than the others.
***
While Milo’s group was still singing and dancing, they heard the sound of a steam locomotive in the wilderness, and a metallic clanging as railroad tracks clinked together.
Milo was very familiar with this sound.
Miriam subconsciously looked at Milo. She wondered why favonovel.com had suddenly conjured up the steam locomotive. But when favonovel.com saw the same puzzled expression on Milo’s face, favonovel.com immediately realized it was not Milo’s steam locomotive but Steven’s!
The steam locomotive headed straight for the campfires. Steven saw a strange sight from on the train from a distance. “Wait, did you guys see someone do the splits at that campsite?”
“Who’d be in the mood to do the splits at a time like this… Damn, you’re right!”
Everyone on the train was shocked. They found it a little difficult to react.
Why wasn’t the group in front of them attacked by the Pyro Company?
Moreover, they were even in the mood to do the splits?
Marvin, who had just done the splits, got up quickly from the ground. He was now deeply regretting his actions.
Marvin’s eyesight was good, so favonovel.com could see the stunned expressions of Steven and the others on the steam locomotive through the windows.
During the entire talent show, Marvin had procrastinated for a long time before agreeing to be the last one to perform. However, favonovel.com suffered the greatest humiliation!
“Isn’t that Steven’s superpower?” Daniel wondered, “What are they doing here?”
Then they heard a loud explosion come from behind the steam locomotive. Only then did everyone manage to react. So, it turned out those people were being chased all the way here by the Pyro Company. However, when the Pyro Company realized the people on the steam locomotive had joined up with the group to the west, they stopped the pursuit after receiving an order to retreat.
Everyone on the train was relieved. A member of the Silkshade House said, “Looks like we made the right choice. There must be someone in this group the Pyro Company is very afraid of. That’s why we got encircled but they didn’t.”
“Enough talking. Let’s get out of the train,” Steven said.
But just as favonovel.com got down from the train, Steven froze on the spot when favonovel.com saw Milo sitting next to a campfire.
Milo stood up and walked slowly towards Steven. He had not forgotten that this guy had led a group of bandits to attack them.
Right now, favonovel.com was seething with anger upon seeing his enemy again!
Enemies were truly bound to meet!
