Upon hearing this, Chris furrowed his brows.
It was no surprise to Chris that members from the Hall of Valerian had come to the East Coast.
But why had the people from Whisperwind Ridge come as well?
“It’s unexpected indeed. It seems Ethan Stone and Daniel Williams have really joined forces in desperation!”
Ethan Stone was the coach at Whisperwind Ridge.
The last time in Middleton, Chris had severed one of Ethan Stone’s arms.
This time, the practitioners from Whisperwind Ridge were surely here for Ethan Stone to seek his revenge!
According to the information Chris received from Lynx, around 100, 000 people had recently been reorganized by Daniel Williams into the Hall of Valerian.
Of these, 30, 000 had perished in the Caribbean, and 50, 000 had died in the Devil’s Desert of the Babylon Kingdom.
Now, at most, only about 20, 000 to 30, 000 members remained in the entire Hall of Valerian.
This time, Daniel Williams had sent out 100 of the Hall of Valerian’s practitioners, representing the last of its essence.
“Keep a close watch on the 100 Hall of Valerian practitioners, I want them monitored 24 hours a day!”
Upon receiving Chris’s order, Lynx immediately mobilized the satellite surveillance system.
The Hall of Valerian practitioners were monitored around the clock by satellites in space.
Soon, their locations were pinpointed through the satellite navigation system.
Lynx then sent the locations of these Hall of Valerian practitioners to Chris via mobile phone.
Having received the positions, Chris called Tiger.
“Tiger, the Hall of Valerian practitioners have arrived, proceed with the original plan.”
“Understood!”
Upon receiving Chris’s call, Tiger immediately made the necessary arrangements.
Meanwhile.
A small private plane landed in a clearing on the outskirts of the East Coast.
Soon, Hall of Valerian practitioners disembarked from the plane, led by Dark Sin.
Dark Sin’s face was extremely somber, his one arm hanging empty.
He had come to the East Coast before, where Chris had crippled one of his arms.
Now, he had returned to seek revenge on Chris.
Beside Dark Sin was a man in white, radiating a terrifying aura.
This man in white was a practitioner from Whisperwind Ridge and also a disciple of Ethan Stone, named Zephyr Rivers.
Zephyr Rivers looked at Dark Sin and asked, “Dark Sin, no one should know about our trip to the East Coast this time, right?”
“Rest assured! We came here on a private plane, absolutely no one knows we’ve come to the East Coast,” Dark Sin replied.
Hearing this, Zephyr Rivers nodded.
The loss of an arm by Dark Sin was a significant blow to the Hall of Valerian.
For safety, this time they had been very cautious about their approach to the East Coast.
However, they were unaware that their every move was being watched by satellites in space.
Zephyr Rivers asked, “Dark Sin, you’re familiar with Chris. What should we do next?”
Dark Sin, with a solemn expression, said, “This time His Highness sent us here to kill Chris, so we absolutely must not fail him! But Chris is powerful, killing him won’t be easy.”
“Previously, our plan was to capture Seraphina and then threaten Chris, but that plan was too risky, especially since Seraphina is also a practitioner of the Transcendence realm! So, our plan is simple this time: we capture Chris’s wife.”
“According to the information provided by His Highness, Esther is Chris’s only weakness. Once we have Esther, Chris will surely comply. We’ll immediately have people watch the main gate of the Chester Group, and capture Esther the moment she comes out.”
“Very well!”
Zephyr Rivers nodded without any further comment. After all, his visit this time was merely to assist Dark Sin in eliminating Chris. The specifics were to be handled by Dark Sin himself. Without any unnecessary talk, Dark Sin led a hundred practitioners from the Hall of Valerian away from the scene.
It was quitting time at the entrance of the Chester Group. Esther, dressed in a black uniform, got into a Ferrari and drove off. Watching her departing figure, Dark Sin, not far away, revealed a cruel smile. With a wave of his hand, several black SUVs followed her.
Esther did not head towards Cloud Bay but drove towards the suburbs instead. Upon reaching the suburbs, her car suddenly sped up. Seeing this, Dark Sin and his followers closely pursued her. Moments later, Esther turned onto a secluded road. Seeing this, Dark Sin sneered, “This Esther is really courting death, daring to drive alone on such a secluded road.”
Zephyr Rivers, curious, asked, “Dark Sin, could there be some kind of trap?”
Dark Sin replied indifferently, “Don’t worry. We are many, and each one of us is a practitioner of the Transcendence realm. Even if there is a plot, what does it matter? She can’t escape from the palm of my hand!”
Hearing this, Zephyr Rivers was reassured. After all, in their eyes, Esther was just a weak woman. What could she possibly do? How could she stand a chance against them?
After driving for nearly ten minutes, the road ahead suddenly disappeared. Then, Esther stopped her car. Seeing this, a smug smile appeared on Dark Sin’s face. He and his men got out and completely surrounded Esther’s car. Esther stayed inside and did not come out.
Dark Sin sneered, “Esther, come out! Your husband has offended us. It would be wise to come out quietly, otherwise don’t blame us for not being nice.”
Suddenly, the car door opened. A figure stepped out from the car. Seeing this person, Dark Sin’s expression drastically changed and he exclaimed, “You are not Esther, you are Seraphina!”
It turned out that the person who got out of the car was not Esther, but Seraphina! “How is this possible? I have been following you from the Chester Group’s entrance, how are you not Esther?”
Seeing this, Dark Sin was visibly shocked. He could not understand how he had been following Esther, but it suddenly turned out to be Seraphina.
Seraphina snorted coldly and threw an object at him. Dark Sin looked down and, astonished, exclaimed, “This is a human skin mask!”
Now it was clear, Seraphina had been wearing Esther’s human skin mask to deliberately lure them here.
Seraphina scoffed, “Dark Sin, you are clever enough to recognize a human skin mask.”
Dark Sin, furious, gritted his teeth and said, “Whether you are Seraphina or Esther, today you cannot escape death!”
“Thinking you can kill me with such trash is truly laughable!”
