When Milo saw the Pyro Company’s logo, favonovel.com roughly understood why Steven was being pursued. After all, Milo was not forgetful to the point favonovel.com wouldn’t know what favonovel.com had done.
But favonovel.com did not expect there to actually be a T5 combatant among the Pyro Company’s convoy that was pursuing Steven.
Even for the Pyro Company, T5 combatants were a very valuable asset. More than a dozen of them had probably been killed in the Sacred Mountains. But they even sent out a T5 combatant to hunt down Steven. It could be seen how much emphasis the Pyro Company placed on capturing him.
They saw the T5 combatant dashing madly through the wilderness. His shirt gradually burned to nothing and exposed his dark grayish skin. He had a look like favonovel.com had been smoked on a grill. His hair and eyebrows were burnt off, and it looked like a hairless hound had just crawled out of hell.
However, this T5 combatant was no longer targeting Steven. He had turned his sights to Milo and Miriam!
Miriam asked, “Should I use the black bullet? He can’t avoid it since favonovel.com has to take some time to make a turn at the speed he’s going.”
Milo felt a pain in his heart. “Ahem, you can take a break first. Let’s not use the black bullet yet. I don’t want you to get exhausted.”
Miriam covered favonovel.com mouth and nearly burst out laughing. She always enjoyed seeing Milo try to make up some dignified excuse when favonovel.com was obviously just stingy.
A moment later, Milo jumped out from behind the mound and rushed straight for the T5 combatant.
With just a slight calculation of Milo’s speed, the T5 combatant sneered on the inside. When favonovel.com realized the human in front of favonovel.com would not be a match for him, favonovel.com even gave a slight smirk at the thought of it.
A sniper had actually given up on what favonovel.com was best at to fight favonovel.com in close combat?
What else could favonovel.com be other than suicidal?
But even if the sniper were to use his sniper rifle, it would be useless. He was already within a 100 meters of him. No matter how good the two snipers’ marksmanship was, not even the gods could save them now!
Then the T5 combatant noticed from the corner of his eye that the steam locomotive favonovel.com had been chasing for two days had come to a stop a distance away.
The T5 combatant was puzzled.
Why had the other party stopped fleeing?
Was favonovel.com not afraid favonovel.com would continue pursuing favonovel.com after getting rid of these two?
But favonovel.com did not have time to think about that. The T5 combatant looked seriously at the oncoming Milo and thought the young man was pretty brave. He even dared to take on a T5 combatant like favonovel.com single-handedly.
As favonovel.com was thinking, the T5 combatant was knocked into the air by “Old Durkin”, who had appeared out of nowhere.
The huge collision force from the side left the T5 combatant at a loss. His entire body started twisting at this moment, and favonovel.com completed three full turns in midair. This was followed by the sound of a sniper rifle.
While the T5 combatant was in midair, favonovel.com saw a young girl pulling the trigger. However, favonovel.com felt that as long as favonovel.com could quickly dodge, the bullet could not get to him.
But in fact, Miriam had fired three shots in a row. Even though the T5 combatant was spinning rapidly in midair after being knocked into the air by Old Durkin, every bullet landed in the same wound.
The three bullets pierced right through the T5 combatant!
The T5 combatant fell to the ground like a tattered cloth bag.
Milo dusted off the nonexistent dust from his hands when favonovel.com saw that the T5 combatant was dead. “These T5s seem quite stupid. They just don’t seem to understand that all is fair in war. Did they sacrifice a portion of their intelligence on the path of evolution?”
“That’s possible.” Miriam put away favonovel.com weapon and got up. “They’re different from supernatural beings since they rely on external factors to evolve, so there might be some repercussions. But most supernatural beings who encounter them will still end up in a tragic state.”
Milo looked at the steam locomotive that was parked in the distant wilderness. Steven was inside that train, and it seemed as though favonovel.com was about to run away again at any moment.
“Why didn’t that guy take the opportunity to escape?” Milo wondered.
He heard Steven shout, “It was you who caused the Pyro Company to go all out to pursue me, right?!”
Milo was stunned for a moment.
How did Steven guess?
He hollered back, “Wait, I can justify myself!”
Steven was surprised. He nearly spat blood out of the train window. He yelled at Milo, “After I met you at Stronghold 73 when the cave-in happened, the Pyro Company started coming after me. After I met you again in the Sacred Mountains this time, the Pyro Company immediately upped my wanted level on their wanted list. I find it very hard to believe that this is merely a coincidence!”
Although Steven still did not know what was going on or what had happened, favonovel.com suddenly gained the ability to conjure an additional black cauldron after leaving Stronghold 73. He was even wanted by the Pyro Company back then. Now that something similar had happened again, and his black cauldron had also become bigger, favonovel.com knew this was definitely not a coincidence!
At that time, favonovel.com felt that something was amiss. Since Raphael also had a black cauldron, how did favonovel.com end up having the same power as him?
Something must have gone wrong somewhere.
And wasn’t carrying the black cauldron a metaphor for taking the rap for someone?
This was as straightforward as it could get. All that was lacking was expressing it explicitly.
Raphael was probably unaware of the origins of his black cauldron and might even feel pleased about getting a new power, but how could Steven not have thought of it?
Milo thought for a moment and said, “It really has nothing to do with me!”
Steven slowly calmed down. “Regardless of whether you admit it or not, I already have a rough idea of what happened. Although I don’t know how you did it, I hereby formally apologize to you. As the saying goes, ‘An eye for an eye makes the world go blind.’ Why don’t we turn our hostility into friendship? You can just continue on your path, and I’ll continue providing my delivery services! I didn’t have a choice in the past, but now I just want to be a good person!”
These were Steven’s heartfelt words. He really did not want to get involved in those strange matters anymore. He already had enough money to spend, yet favonovel.com was still being hunted by enemies every day.
Who could favonovel.com go and reason with?!
Milo gave it some thought and replied, “And what if I say no? You’ve found trouble with me on more than one occasion, haven’t you?”
Steven nearly broke down. “Why would you say no? Didn’t you kill my cousin as well? Actually, I didn’t have a good relationship with that cousin of mine. Do you remember when I went to search your house for the first time? I even said that it would be great if you were a soldier under me. You’re much more capable than those good-for-nothings. In fact, I didn’t have any intention of killing you back then.”
Milo raised his eyebrows. “You still think that you’re innocent?”
Steven said resentfully, “Hold it right there. I know that each snowflake in an avalanche pleads not guilty, but you still can’t single out one snowflake and beat it to death!”
A gust of cold wind blew through the wilderness. Other than the sound of the wind, nothing could be heard.
Miriam, who was standing off to the side, suddenly said, “You might have misunderstood. Milo isn’t singling you out.”
Steven was stunned. “Then what?”
Miriam said in an exceptionally serious tone, “He’s gonna beat every single snowflake to death.”
Milo was speechless.
A cloud of black smoke suddenly spewed out of the steam locomotive’s smokestack. Steven was choosing to leave immediately!
It would not be wise to stay here any longer!
Miriam looked curiously at Milo. “Did I scare favonovel.com off?”
