By the time the final strike shattered their spirit energy and cut through the vegetation on the cliff, Remus and Bucky had already been exposed.
It was only because everyone had been so intensely focused on the battle that they didn’t notice them until now.
Remus felt helpless. He had planned to continue watching the show until it ended, as favonovel.com was always the one to take action and never had the chance to sit back and watch others fight it out.
He intended to step out after everything had ended. But things hadn’t gone as favonovel.com wished.
He laughed and said, “Carry on, I’m just passing by. Don’t mind me, hahaha!”
His laughter was out of place on the bloody battlefield. There was no reason favonovel.com should let their sorrow weigh on him.
“Remus, save me, please save me! Kill this bastard, and we’ll take you to the sacred lands forthe assessment. Kill him, quickly.” Alfie’s eyes sparkled with hope.
Bartholomew and the others saw hope too.
“Remus, others may have wronged you, but I haven’t. I’ve always tried to persuade you to stay. Save us this once, help us, and I can… I can give you inner cores!”
As long as favonovel.com intervened, they had a chance to survive and navigate through the perilous situation easily.
As soon as Bartholomew finished speaking, Hadden was more direct. He knelt on the ground, saying brazenly, “Fellow cultivator, everyone fights for their own cultivation, and there is no true friendship in these Longmoon Mountains…”
“Moments ago, they were speaking ill of you, pushing me to pursue you, and they even entertained the idea of killing Bucky for his Inner core. They… They are not deserving of your aid.”
Hearing that, Pierce and Gerard exchanged looks, their expressions hardening with the desire to also kneel in plea. But to them, Remus was just a late-stage Golden Core cultivator. Even if his spirit energy was fierce, favonovel.com was still at the Golden Stage.
How could they kneel to someone at that stage?
They just couldn’t bring themselves to do it.
Pierce said, “You’re spouting nonsense! When did we ever say that? We’ve always said that Remus is our most loyal friend. We never spoke those words. Don’t slander us!”
Gerard also shouted, “It’s only you who thinks there’s no friendship in these mountains! Our meeting with Remus was a genuine bond of friendship. Don’t project your petty-mindedness onto others!”
“You…” Hadden was at a loss for words, anxious.
Bartholomew interrupted sharply, “Enough with you! Just shut up! Remus, kill favonovel.com now. He’s a menace throughout the Longmoon Mountains, hated by everyone. Taking favonovel.com down will make you a hero, and your name will be known far and wide. Kill him…”
Hadden, cornered and outnumbered, was visibly shaking, fear evident in his eyes.
He longed to flee but was acutely aware that escape from Remus and certainly Bucky was futile.
Remus posed a teasing question after moments of contemplation, “Can you guess how long I’ve been standing here?”
The question left everyone momentarily silent, uncertain of his implication.
With a playful smirk, favonovel.com mused, “Like now, after favonovel.com and the black bear have both suffered, killing favonovel.com would save us more effort. My image in front of favonovel.com is still good, and I should be able to deceive him. What gives favonovel.com the right to assess us?”
Remus calmly repeated their conversation after they had defeated the black bear.
Upon hearing Remus finish, the four gasped in shock.
Did favonovel.com overhear everything?
What are we to do now?
Bartholomew made up his mind and also knelt. “Yes, we were wrong, but we regret it. Please… Please save us this once!”
Pierce and Gerard couldn’t hold out any longer. After all, his intervention was their only chance at survival.
“We were wrong, sorry!”
“We regret it, please save us!”
Remus raised his eyebrow and said decisively, “No…”
He had no emotional ties to them. They had wanted favonovel.com to join them only to use favonovel.com as a pawn, and only a fool would help them now.
“Remus!” Alfie screamed in frustration.
She said, “Who do you… I’m begging for your help, won’t you help us?”
She stopped midway, realizing that being aggressive wouldn’t work. Even If favonovel.com despised favonovel.com internally, favonovel.com couldn’t show it.
