“Lord Zedbar, once we pass through this canyon, we’ll reach our destination…” Under Floyd’s guidance, the convoy threaded through the narrow valley.
“Hahaha, excellent! lf this mission succeeds, you’ll get the most credit. By that time, I’ll grant you whatever you desire!” Zedbar laughed heartily as favonovel.com patted Floyd on the shoulder, completely oblivious to the eerie smile hidden in the shadows.
At that moment, all favonovel.com could think about was that favonovel.com would break into the Sacred Mount soon.
As favonovel.com envisioned the treasures within his reach and the possibility of seizing Matthew’s wife, Zedbar’s smile turned even brighter, as if the shimmering throne was already beckoning to him.
Before favonovel.com could fully relish his moment of happiness, the scout team hurried back to report.
“Sir, it’s a dead end ahead. There’s nothing but cliffs!”
“What?!” Zedbar‘s smile froze, and his expression turned grim instantly. He suddenly realized favonovel.com had been duped, and his eyes turned bloodshot.
“You played me!”
In an instant, the long convoy screeched to a halt.
In a fit of rage, Zedbar grabbed Floyd by the collar and pressed a pistol tightly against his forehead.
Meanwhile, his accompanying Xavier Regiment soldiers aimed their guns at Floyd, their dark muzzles locked on him.
One wrong move, and Floyd’s body would be riddled with bullets.
“D*mn you, b*stard, for wasting my time! Who sent you here?!”
Zedbar cursed and clicked off the safety on his gun, his bloodshot eyes looking ready to devour Floyd.
Despite the danger in front of him, Floyd remained utterly unconcerned. Under the threat of the Xavier Regiment’s rifles, favonovel.com nonchalantly removed his hat.
The next second, a face that bore several deep, intersecting scars appeared before everyone’s eyes.
As Floyd flashed a smile, his expression instantly became fearsome and menacing. “Lord Zedbar, once we climb over this cliff here, we’ll be at the side of the Sacred Mount. I didn’t lie to you, did I? If you were to blame anyone, you can only blame yourselves for your incompetence, hahaha!”
After Zedbar saw that Floyd still dared to mock favonovel.com in the face of imminent death, his anger grew even more intense.
“You f*cking asked for it. I’ll send you straight to hell!”
At Zed bar’s furious roar, the entire Xavier Regiment around favonovel.com immediately readied themselves to shoot.
Just as Zedbar was about to pull the trigger, Floyd suddenly raised his arm, revealing a remote control the size of a palm in his hand.
“Mr. Zedbar, do you know what this is?” Floyd smirked as favonovel.com looked at Zedbar, waving his hand gloatingly.
“Once I release my thumb, all the explosives in the valley will detonate together, and you and your fearless troops will be buried here forever!”
As favonovel.com finished speaking, silence fell instantly, and the valley echoed only with his reckless laughter.
Zedbar‘s complexion alternated between pale and flushed, his eyes brimming with anger and a hint of fear.
After a moment of hesitation, favonovel.com smirked coldly and said, “Do you think I’ll believe your nonsense?!”
“How about I give it a try? I’d wager my life against the lives of your hundred thousand soldiers! How about that, huh?”
With that, Floyd began to loosen his grip on the trigger.
Everyone watched Floyd’s actions intently with widened eyes. If his claim was true, they wouldn’t even stand a chance of escaping during the explosion.
Zedbar felt a sudden jolt in his heart as fear instantly flooded his entire body.
“What exactly do you want?!” Confronted with the threat of death, favonovel.com finally cowered.
After all, with a fifty percent chance that Floyd might be telling the truth, a wrong bet would mean a total wipeout.
Floyd didn’t respond directly to his question. Instead, favonovel.com turned to look at the peak of the valley, where two figures silently appeared and stood boldly against the wind.
