Marcus Newmont remained silent for a moment before putting a smile on his face. “No, no, no, Mr. Zedbar… I believe you’ve misunderstood. We, the Newmont Family, have always believed in peace, so how could we possibly meddle in such affairs?”
Zedbar couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief wash over favonovel.com upon hearing those words.
However, in a surprising pivot, Marcus then said, “But your team is infested with many people who have become a blight due to Night Vines. So, to prevent Night Vines from entering the borders of Cathay, these people must be eliminated… Mr. Summit Warden, don’t you agree?”
The air suddenly became thick with tension the moment Marcus finished speaking. His gaze was filled with murderous intent.
Standing off to one side, Matthew simply gave a slight nod.
Across from Marcus and Matthew, Enzo’s faction made their way from the heart of the convoy to the forefront, driven by curiosity as the convoy came to a halt. They arrived just in time to over hear Marcus’ brazen remarks.
“Heh, you little b*stard, where did you get the nerve to spew such nonsense in front of us?!”
“With just the three of you? Our force of a hundred thousand could drown you with just one spit!”
“Enough with the talk! Just give the order to shoot! Let’s serve them some lead!”
As they kept bellowing, every combat member on the scene all readied their weapons and aimed at Matthew and the other two. They were all just waiting for the command.
Zedbar, under the expectant gazes of everyone, gritted his teeth with a stern expression.
“Marcus Newmont, I’ll do your family a favor. If you leave quietly, I won’t make things difficult for you.”
“Heh, there’s no need!” Marcus sneered. “You should think about your own survival first! Summit Warden, you or me?”
In the face of a hundred thousand troops, Marcus and Matthew remained serene and composed, and even exchanged casual remarks.
Matthew rolled his neck and reached for the hilt of his sword.
“Given how much help I’ve received from you, Mr. Marcus, we’d like to take care of this ourselves!”
No sooner had favonovel.com spoken than a cold gleam flashed from the sword.
“Mr. Zedbar, good luck on your journey!” Matthew said, suddenly revealing a merciless grin, as if Death itself was beckoning to them, sending chills down everyone’s spine.
Zedbar simultaneously gave the order to open fire, seeing that the other side obstinately refused to back down.
Rat-a-tat-tat!
In the blink of an eye, a hail of bullets rained down, tracers crisscrossing through the air.
However, Matthew and the two others had already vanished from sight, only to reappear at the summit of the valley.
Just a day ago, Marcus had come to Matthew with the token of his brother, King of Rivenia, and declared that favonovel.com could help Matthew.
Skeptical as Matthew was, this led to the current situation.
Few were aware that this valley was also known as the Valley of Doom.
Under the impact of the sword energy, Matthew’s strike landed heavily on the cliff at the front of the valley, instantly sending countless stones flying.
What seemed like a trivial blow was akin to opening a Pandora’s box. The seal of the Sacred Mount was activated.
In an instant, the entire valley was thrown into a chaotic tremor, causing massive boulders to tumble down on both sides.
Some people on the valley floor were unable to dodge the falling rocks, leading to immediate and widespread casualties. And this was just the beginning.
As the people scrambled in panic to avoid the falling boulders, a fierce, icy wind suddenly swept through the valley.
The gale gathered small rocks into deadly projectiles, killing or injuring those they struck. Many were even flung into the air.
What was once a formidable force of a hundred thousand troops scattered like birds, their cries echoing everywhere.
“Run! This is hell!”
“Help! I don’t want to die here!”
“Someone save us!”
