Chapter 332: Chapter 331: Fluctuations in the Shadows
“I don’t care, you must bring him to me, no matter the cost! I want him! I want him!!”
Stepping out of the tent, listening to the furious roar coming from inside, Hucks could only shake his head and sigh helplessly. Just then, another voice reached his ears.
“It seems our sponsor is quite unhappy.”
“It would be abnormal if she were happy.”
Hearing this voice, Hucks turned his head and looked at the man behind him, who was wrapped in bandages.
“How are your injuries, Bolt?”
“Not too bad.”
Facing Hucks’ response, the black man chuckled, raised his bandaged arm, and waved it in front of Hucks.
“Luckily, that person didn’t plan to take my life, or else I might have been buried by you guys by now. It looks terrible, but it’s just superficial wounds. After gulping down three bottles of Healing Elixir, I’m almost good as new.”
While speaking, Bolt turned his gaze to the tent behind them.
“What? It seems our Young Lady is not planning to let it go just yet?”
“You know, their entire race is like that.”
Hucks spread his hands helplessly.
“Once they set their eyes on something, no matter the cost, they must have it. Now this young lady is also afflicted by the same obsession. Honestly, I’m beginning to regret teaming up with her. Right now, I would rather go to the forest and fight a battle with the Werewolves than continue staying here and be vented on by that young lady… But after all, I took the money.”
“Exactly, taking money to handle matters is our long-standing tradition with them. It’s just our luck this time isn’t the best.”
Having said that, Bolt stretched out his hand and patted Hanks’ shoulder.
“However, about that man’s information… You must have gotten hold of it already.”
This chapter is updated by freēwēbnovel.com.
“Of course.”
Upon mentioning this topic, Hucks’ expression suddenly became icy cold.
“That Sir Knight of the Sanctuary, a Holy Spirit Knight rare to see in a century, I really didn’t expect that bitch, Hailien, to be so lucky to find a Holy Spirit Knight to protect her. Heh, she can’t possibly think she still has a chance to turn things around? Anyway, that despicable woman, to graduate, she stoops so low as to degrade herself and play fools with the ignorant savages of the Kingdom of the Holy Church. Wait till I spread this word; let’s see how she can regain any advantage!”
“We’ll talk about your matters after our mission is over.”
Seeing Hucks grit his teeth like this, Bolt also frowned deeply.
“Don’t forget our goal is to pass the Trial. Before that, don’t complicate matters. That man is no saint; if you provoke him, who knows what could happen.”
“But it seems, our Young Lady has a different view.”
Saying so, Hucks sneered towards the tent behind him, as if to prove his point; the tent once again emitted a scream almost indistinguishable from cries and howls of wolves.
“Ahh ahh ahh ahh, that man, that man is mine! He will be my man! I’ve set my sight on him! I want him now! You all must find him, find him at any cost. I don’t care how much it costs, but I want him! I have money!!”
Amidst the woman’s throat-ripping roar, neither Hucks nor Bolt showed any surprise. The people from the Land of Wealth are just like this; born to live for money, money is their only lifeline and their source of power. For the citizens of Caron, having money means you can do whatever you desire. And without money, you are nothing.
In their eyes, money and wealth are everything in this world. With money, even life can be bought. Everything else is just garbage.
As citizens of Fanriel, Hucks and Bolt wouldn’t act like Lady Meat Mountain. For the people of the Kingdom of Flame, the Land of Wealth is merely their cash cow, their bank, their ATM. Of course—since you are eager for a big sum of money, naturally, you have to trade something in exchange.
“Well, luckily, according to our people, that man has already left, and we won’t be seeing him for a while.”
At this, Bolt exhaled in relief, and then his expression turned serious.
“However… I’m a bit worried.”
“Worried?”
“Yes, I just checked, and in this area, only two teams have a trial task, us and them, but we don’t know what their task is. If it’s unrelated to ours, that’s fine, but if their task is somehow connected to ours…”
“What should we do then?”
Hearing Bolt’s concerns, Hucks also became tense. Such situations had occurred in past trials, where two teams might even compete for the same item, meaning only one could succeed while the other failed.
Currently, in this region, only their two teams were carrying out the graduation task. So, if there was some conflict between their tasks, would he or Bolt have to face that formidable man?
What surprised Hucks, however, was that at this moment, Bolt confidently grinned, showing his pearly white teeth.
“Don’t worry too much, you should know, at the Peak of Ice and Snow, there’s a rumor…”
“Wait, are you saying…”
Before Bolt could finish, Hucks instantly grasped his intention. His expression slightly changed, and he subconsciously looked toward his waist. Right then, Bolt reached out, pressed on Hucks’s shoulder, and forced him to look up and meet his gaze.
“I know it’s your family’s treasure, but you should understand how important this graduation trial is for each of us; otherwise, you wouldn’t have brought it with you, right?”
“I brought it just in case, and besides, even if that man is indeed powerful, those weaklings around him aren’t worth mentioning.”
Feeling the pressure on his shoulder, Hucks frowned and took a step back, breaking free from Bolt’s grip.
“Don’t forget, the trial is a team task, not something that can be done by one person standing out. Even if we are competitors, we still have enough chances to beat them to it and deal with everything first.”
After saying this, Hucks turned and walked away. Bolt, meanwhile, watched Hucks’s retreating figure and then smirked.
“I hope you can last till the end.”
After saying this, Bolt also turned and left, returning to his own tent.
By now, the night had deepened.
Fang Zheng raised his head, looking up at the night sky where a round moon hung high, its pure light scattering over the land, and the entire forest was silent except for the intermittent sounds of insects and the noise of the river nearby, along with the breeze through the forest, offering a refreshing feeling.
However…
“There’s nothing at all…”
Staring at the distant Peak of Ice and Snow, Fang Zheng frowned. He could clearly see the snow-capped summit under the moonlight, but he could not see any light at all. According to the task instructions, there should be a burst of light deep in the night, making the dark as bright as day… nonsense!
There isn’t even a searchlight here, let alone the moon!
“Swoosh——!”
Just as Fang Zheng was voicing his complaints, a shadow swiftly swept across the sky, and then Nymph descended from the heavens, returning to Fang Zheng’s side.
“Did you find anything?”
“There’s nothing unusual on the radar, and I didn’t detect any fluctuations,”
“Hmm……”
Hearing Little Angel’s response, Fang Zheng’s brow furrowed tighter.
It seemed that this mission was not as simple as he had imagined.
