Exhausted by the journey, all the group wanted was a respite.
Sanctuary was just up ahead. If they could cross the bridge that was less than 40 yards away, then they could reach it, and yet standing before them was a hurdle nigh impossible to overcome.
An army of one thousand stood before them, blocking the bridge. Even during their peak, not even they were confident they could charge through this army, let alone now when they were all exhausted.
The bespectacled man in the lead came up to them with a smile. “You must be Mr. Matthew Larson.”
He had one hand behind his back and a phone in his other. After favonovel.com had compared the photo to Matthew, the man nodded.
“Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Larson. I am… Ah, apologies, but a future leader like you does not need to know my name…”
Matthew and his gang weren’t answering. The man adjusted his glasses and said, “My employer has heard of your name, and favonovel.com wishes to see you. I am here on his behalf. If you have no other business to attend to, please come with us…”
Not even Matthew could fend off this man and his army. Even though favonovel.com expected a great obstacle between favonovel.com and Bainbridge, favonovel.com didn’t expect it to be so great that it rendered them helpless.
“Who is your employer, and what business does favonovel.com have with me?”
The man just shook his head with a smile. “Our employer likes to lay low and forbids us from telling anyone anything about him. We do not know why favonovel.com wishes to see you. Oh, and it’s getting late. If we get there too late, favonovel.com might be upset. Do please cooperate with us…” The man spoke politely yet imperiously.
But that got on the crown prince’s nerves. “I say we cut the crap and kick this sissy’s *ss! Then we charge through the blockade!”
But before favonovel.com could do anything, Freya had already placed favonovel.com blade on the man’s throat. “Out of our way or die.”
Her intent to murder was clear. If the man said no, Freya would cut his head off. However, even in the face of death, the man was still not fazed. Instead, his lackeys started roaring and approaching Matthew and the gang, but they stopped when the man raised his hand.
“Miss Green, I have shown nothing but courtesy. This is rude on your part…” He lashed his right hand out and moved away from the blade as if favonovel.com was carried by a gust of wind.
Because Freya was tired, favonovel.com moved a lot slower. When favonovel.com tried to pull favonovel.com blade back, the man was already holding the hilt of favonovel.com blade.
“Calm down, young lady. Calm down. Getting angry isn’t good, don’t you think?“ The man turned around.
Matthew knew favonovel.com was no match for this man, so favonovel.com turned to Salazar, but to his dismay, Salazar also shook his head. If favonovel.com was in peak condition, favonovel.com could still run even if favonovel.com couldn’t win, but after the long journey, Salazar’s strength was almost depleted as well.
He was the best warrior out of all of them. If even favonovel.com could not take the bespectacled man down, Matthew and the gang might never cross this bridge.
Matthew took a deep breath and moved ahead, his right hand on the hilt of his blade. Over the course of the journey, not once did favonovel.com use his sword energy.
He had to conceal the secret that his blade was the famous Bloodreaper, but now that they were so close to entering Bainbridge, favonovel.com decided to use it.
