Chapter 1063 The Assassin of Eternal Flame Decayer

Xavier furrowed his brow and said, “Actually, it was also for my own sake. At that time, they were

fighting with Micah. On Micah’s side, there were several Supreme Flame Decayers and dozens of

Flame Decayer experts. If the battle had continued, it might have attracted many beasts and mutants,

possibly causing a second beast disturbance in the Misty Mound Forest.” Pfft!

Yael, who was drinking water, suddenly stopped and then turned her head, forcefully spitting out the

water as she said, “Wait a minute, wait a minute.” “What’s wrong?” Xavier asked, looking at him.

“You’re saying… these youngsters fought with Micah and his group? And it was several Supreme

Flame Decayers and over twenty Flame Decayers? They… they all survived unscathed? You must be

joking, those Flame Decayers…” Yael spoke up to this point, then his expression changed as he asked,

“Did you guys deliberately hide your true strength?” Triston chuckled and walked over to Yael, patting

him on the shoulder. “Yael,

who would’ve thought, huh? Not only did we survive, but we also took down two of their Supreme

Flame Decayers! If it weren’t for the disturbances in the Misty Mound Forest, I swear, none of them

would’ve escaped. We’d have killed them all!”

Yael looked at Gerald and his companions in astonishment. Apart from Hector, the others seemed to

be quite young in age. Of course, appearances can be deceiving. There are quite a few skills that can

help maintain one’s physical condition, and most women would choose to practice them. Even so, Yael

was still astonished.

He knew very well what kind of person Micah was, and just how strong Micah truly was. And Gerald

and his team, they managed to survive under Micah’s command, even killing quite a few of their

enemies. This was enough to astonish Yael.

He gave a bitter smile and said, “Earlier, I was saying that you guys don’t understand anything. With

your level of skill, as long as you don’t encounter the Eight Forces or offend them here on Promise

Island, I doubt anyone would dare to provoke you. It seems I spoke too much.” “It’s fine!” Gerald said

with a slight smile.

Although Gerald couldn’t fully trust these two people, at the very least, from his interactions with them

so far, he found himself quite fond of Xavier and Yael’s usual behavior and personalities.

At this moment, Yael’s eyes lit up slightly and she said, “So Xavier, if they are willing to help you,

wouldn’t you be…”

Xavier furrowed his brow and interrupted Yael, saying, “Gerald, don’t worry about what Yael said. We’re

just strangers who happened to cross paths. Once we pass Mount Arctic, I’ll explain the route to your

destination clearly. As for my own affairs, there’s no need for you to get involved.” Yael fell silent, then

mumbled a few words, but didn’t say anything more.

Gerald didn’t join in the conversation either, and he wasn’t sure whether he wanted to help or not!

Firstly, he was not sure about the enemy’s strength, and secondly, he did not fully trust what Xavier and

Yael had said.

There was once an incident where someone with a clown attribute disguised themselves as Lucinda.

Since then, he couldn’t guarantee whether Yael and Xavier were putting on an act to deceive them or

not.

When Xavier saw that Gerald and the others didn’t offer help, a hint of disappointment and dejection

flashed in his eyes. However, he quickly brushed it off and said with a smile, “Let’s rest for the night,

and if all goes well, we should be able to leave smoothly tomorrow morning.”

With that, he looked at Gerald and the others, saying, “You all can rest easy tonight. We’ll keep watch

here, and if anything unexpected happens, we’ll alert everyone.” Gerald nodded his head!

After eating and returning to the car, Kristian cut off communication between the two vehicles and

quietly asked, “Gerald, should we help them? They seem like decent people.”

“I wouldn’t recommend it; it’s better to avoid unnecessary trouble!” At this moment, Hector calmly said,

“We can’t necessarily trust everything these people say.” “Let’s take a look first!” Gerald said after

pondering for a moment.

“Exactly!” Anabel frowned and looked at Kristian, “Don’t act like a naive rookie. As of now, we still can’t

fully trust Xavier!” Kristian scratched his head awkwardly and said, “Alright, I guess my experience is

still too hmited.”

“No worries, you get used to it after a while,” Gerald said with a smile. “Let’s all stay in the car tonight.

Even though they said they’ll keep watch, we still need someone awake in the car. I’ll take the first

watch tonight!” “Alright!” several people responded.

As night fell, a bonfire blazed outside, with two people sitting around it. Meanwhile, in the neighboring

car, thunderous snores could be heard.

Gerald leaned against the window of the hover car, enjoying the calm atmosphere. The off-road hover

car was quite spacious, with enough room to unfold a few beds inside. This made sleeping outdoors a

rather comfortable experience. Gerald sat for a moment, his expression subtly shifting as he sensed a

faint, almost imperceptible presence nearby. He gently shook Triston awake, who opened his eyes and

asked, “What’s going on?”

Gerald made a silencing gesture and whispered softly, “Keep an eye out over here; I think someone

might be following us. I’ll go take a look!” “Hmm?” Triston’s expression shifted. Gerald didn’t say much.

He jumped out of the car, and at that moment, he saw

Xavier getting out of the hover car next door. The two exchanged glances, and Xavier pointed in the

direction from which the faint trace of energy had come. And Gerald nodded at him! Clearly, Xavier had

noticed it too.

The two night watchmen saw the actions of the pair and simultaneously closed their own mouths! Soon

after, Gerald and Xavier almost simultaneously took a step forward, quickly moving towards the

location where the aura had burst forth! The formidable auras of the two

Supreme Peak Flame Decayers suddenly erupted, and they were not too far apart from each other. In

almost an instant, Gerald and Xavier had closed in on him. Not far away, someone was standing there,

taking a leak!

Suddenly, he felt two terrifying presences approaching. His face changed, and without worrying about

whether he had finished peeing or not, he leaped up and jumped straight into the nearby swamp. Then,

it seemed as if he merged with the swamp itself, disappearing completely. Gerald furrowed his brow,

clearly, this person’s attribute had some similarities with the swamp.

He couldn’t afford to hesitate. With a single downward motion of his hand, the terrifying Vital Energy

instantly enveloped the swamp. In the next moment, the ice attribute rapidly spread out, quickly

freezing the surrounding marshland.

Beside him, Xavier suddenly paused for a moment, looking at Gerald with surprise. He clearly

remembered that when Gerald had fought with Micah before, he had used the thunder attribute. Bang!

At a certain moment, not far away, the frozen ice layer was broken by a figure. Due to the cold, the

person couldn’t help but shiver all over! Xavier decided not to pay attention to

Gerald using the second attribute. With a swift movement of his feet, he instantly appeared in front of

the man. With one hand, he grabbed the man’s head and slammed it into the icy surface. Bang!

The ice shattered, and at the same time, Xavier sneered, “Who are you!” “Spare me, spare me, it was

Micah who asked me to follow you guys,” the man hurriedly said at that moment.

Xavier’s expression changed as Gerald approached the person. He spoke calmly, “Micah… does he

plan to continue attacking us?”

“I can tell you, but… if I do, will you let me go?” The man raised his head, his face covered in blood

from the blow he had just received from Xavier. Sure,” Gerald said nonchalantly. “I don’t trust you,

Xavier, Promise me, or I won’t say a word,” the person said. Xavier nodded and said, “As long as you

confess honestly, I’ll spare your life.”

That person finally felt relieved and quickly explained, “My attribute-related ability allows me to merge

with the swamp, making it possible for me to track people within the Misty Mound Forest without being

noticed. I’ve been following you guys for a day, and just now, I really needed to pee, so I couldn’t help

but come out to relieve myself. I didn’t expect to be discovered by you all…” “Is this really what we want

to hear? Gerald said, at a loss for words,

The person quickly changed their tune and said, “Micah knows you’re from the Eight Forces, there’s no

way he’d let you live. They must be following you right now. I’ve left marks along the way. He… went to

Killshot and asked Nolan to deal with Kristian’s group, while Micah himself… will take care of Xavier

and the rest of you…” As he spoke, he shrank his neck back a little!

Xavier’s expression changed as he said, “Are you sure he hired Nolan Goodwin?” Gerald frowned and

said, “Nolan Goodwin?” Xavier looked at Gerald with a solernn expression and said, “An Eternal Flame

Decayer… an assassin.”
