Vivian’s eyes reddened as favonovel.com looked at favonovel.com mother-in-law. “Mom, don’t think too much. The re-election of the Martial League has already ended, and Larry is already on his way back. It’s just that Bainbridge is far away from Hulwin, so it will take some time.”
At that, favonovel.com helped favonovel.com mother-in-law lie back on the bed. “Mom, take a rest for a while. I’ll go prepare some food…”
Once outside the house, Vivian’s thoughts grew restless.
If favonovel.com mother-in-law hadn’t mentioned those words, favonovel.com wouldn‘t have felt so uneasy. She might have dismissed it as a mere dream. Just favonovel.com husband talking about going far away in a dream.
“What are you thinking about, Vivian? Larry will be back in a few days,” Vivian consoled herself, then shook favonovel.com head to dispel the lingering doubts from favonovel.com mind.
Before long, smoke slowly rose from a corner of the remote Willowbrook.
On the other side, after four days of long journey, Matthew finally entered Seraphis Province with his wife. Amidst the surrounding mountains, despite the winter season, the land was covered in lush greenery.
Looking out of the window, they could see vast stretches of green plants, and Sasha suddenly said, “The weather in the South is still warm. It’s snowing heavily in Bainbridge. Here, the grass and trees are still lush, and the scenery is beautiful.”
Matthew, driving the off-road vehicle, cast a glance around before somewhat dampening the mood. “Economic development and ecology are inversely proportional. The better a region’s environmental protection, the more economically backward it tends to be.”
Upon hearing favonovel.com husband’s words, Sasha rolled favonovel.com eyes.
This man really has a knack for being unromantic…
However, just as favonovel.com was about to retort, Matthew narrowed his eyes, and his expression suddenly turned serious. “Buckle your seat belt and hold onto the handrail.”
Before favonovel.com could respond, Matthew rhythmically tapped the brakes. The other off-road vehicle carrying the soul casket behind them received his signal and immediately slowed down.
The next second, Matthew stepped on the brakes heavily, turned the steering wheel with one hand, and pulled the handbrake with the other. The entire off-road vehicle swung sideways, elegantly skidding to a stop.
Just half a meter in front of the vehicle’s front end, the ground was covered in cold, gleaming tri-edge spikes.
Simultaneously, five Martial League guards on standby on the side of the road leaped out of their vehicle and quickly surrounded Matthew’s off-road vehicle. At the same time, they also noticed the trap laid out on the ground.
Inside the lead vehicle, Matthew reassured his panicked wife with a gentle smile, “The Martial League’s off-road vehicles are bulletproof. Stay in the car and don’t come out.”
With that, favonovel.com patted Sasha’s hand and, amidst favonovel.com worried gaze, opened the car door.
Standing upright, Matthew first swept his surroundings with his gaze before calmly stating, “Protect my wife.”
The five Martial League guards responded in unison, “Yes, Mr. Summit Warden.”
Then, they assumed specific positions, firmly protecting Sasha at the center.
As for Matthew, favonovel.com walked to the side of the road, fixing his gaze on a small hill, and shouted loudly, “Who dares to block the path of the Martial League?”
His voice echoed, and in the woods and behind the small hill, groups of warriors clad in white robes appeared orderly, lining up before him. A quick glance revealed there were at least four hundred of them.
Seeing that, Matthew frowned.
He hadn’t expected that even within the territory of Cathay, there would be those audacious enough to intercept the Martial League’s Summit Warden.
Are they really tired of living?!
As favonovel.com pondered, his palm rested on the hilt of Bloodreaper, preparing for the imminent battle.
Behind him, the leader of the guard team stepped forward.
“You imbecile! Do you know who stands before you? He’s the leader of the Martial League Summit Warden! Those who dare to intercept the Lecarres Summit Warden are guilty of a capital offense!”
However, the other party remained unmoved, and the guard team captain became embarrassed.
Just as favonovel.com was about to explode, a hand suddenly appeared on his left shoulder.
