Waterdrops pattered onto the ground, whereas the man behind the burly figure kept silent. Carrying a green sword with a green blade, favonovel.com turned and retreated to the forest.
Meanwhile, Ricky was hiding in a tree hole located miles away. He was enduring internal injuries suffered from the sudden pursuit.
Blood oozed out of the wounds formed by the dense sword energy. He didn’t dare to put his guard down until the two formidable auras disappeared.
He coughed violently, spitting blood again. He was getting weaker, so favonovel.com took out the pill from his pocket to suppress his injuries. Then favonovel.com applied hemostatic medicine to his wounds before covering his chest and quickly making himself scarce.
***
The next day, the final match of the Holy Doctor Competition was held as scheduled first thing at dawn.
The No. 2 hall venue revived its bustling atmosphere.
On the other hand, the manager of Baeddan‘s Family looked at the severely injured Ricky in the VIP observation room.
Zayn’s brows furrowed. “You failed?”
He had foreseen the high chance of failure, but it was painful to witness the outcome. That was the intelligence team favonovel.com spent more than ten years cultivating. He even invested a massive number of resources on those hundreds of people.
The original plan was just to investigate CAUMP’s secrets. Even if it was a mission failure, it would be good enough for it to be a diversion strategy. However, the team captain was the only survivor out of hundreds of elite members.
“Alright, get your injuries tended first. It was an impulsive decision…”
Ricky was relieved upon hearing those words. The moment favonovel.com turned around, however, ferocity replaced the calmness in the manager’s eyes.
The latter motioned to another subordinate and made a throat-slitting gesture. The subordinate trailed behind the man.
Solemnity remained on the manager’s countenance. “Report everything to the clan leader.”
A figure suddenly appeared in a corner of the empty room out of thin air.
It was none other than Alessendra Cyphrus, the head of the Baeddan Family’s secret guards.
He walked to the manager’s side and unreservedly held the wine glass on the table.
He downed it in one-go before asking, “What’s wrong? Are you suspecting that CAUMP has discovered something?”
Not paying much attention to Aspen’s actions, the manager merely shook his head. “It’s not that. It’s just that our plan reached a critical moment. There‘s no room for any mistakes.”
He glanced at Aspen’s, noticing the man’s unusual expression. “Did you fight with someone? Have you forgotten what the clan leader said before we set off? The plan must go on smoothly. We’re here to divert Cathay’s attention. If there are any mistakes in the operation, you’ll be held responsible.”
Aspen lazily stretched his body at the manager’s accusation. “I heard that there’s something in the Cloud Cave owned by the Banes. I thought about investigating it since I have nothing on my plate. I might find some clues.”
The manager froze, and his tone was an unhappy one. “So, did you find anything?”
“No, that old man from the Banes is a watchful man. As soon as I got close, favonovel.com discovered my presence. Didn‘t they say he’s suffering from a terminal disease and is almost a lifeless body?”
He massaged his bruised shoulder and grimaced at the pain. He was lucky enough to be able to escape quickly enough from death.
“Alright, I’ll leave this matter to you while I’ll report the news to the clan later…”
Aspen then disappeared.
