"Shut up! A bunch of ants! If you weren't useful, I would have made you all silence forever!" the figure in the black cloak said sharply.
In the next mont, a powerful pressure filled the space, making it hard for the surrounding tourists to breathe. Their faces turned red, and so even had blood trickling from the corners of their mouths.
Only then did they rember that the black-cloaked figure before them was a high-level Beast Master, possessing imnse power to control their lives and deaths at will.
No one dared to speak again. Worry and despair began to show on the faces of all the tourists around.
Many people looked at their friends and family, feeling lost and helpless. They could do nothing but wait for the situation to unfold.
At that mont, Celia felt very uncomfortable as well. She instinctively wanted to turn around to check on her daughter but found that Charles was standing right behind her, pressed closely against her body. A whisper, faint to the extre, reached her ears:
"Don't worry, she's fine, and we won't be in danger either."
Celia, who had been tense and anxious, felt her worries vanish instantly upon hearing Charles's words. Feeling the warmth emanating from behind her, Celia experienced an unprecedented sense of safety.
"My lord! I've heard that they've found that guy?" A figure rushed over, calling out loudly.
The newcor was none other than Dure, the lord of Flower Falls City!
When the surrounding tourists saw Dure.
They thought help had arrived. However, upon hearing Dure's words, they fell into even deeper silence and despair.
If the lord of Flower Falls City was colluding with the black-cloaked figure before them, who could possibly save them now?
"We're dood. Could the one who attacked the visitor center be here to help us?" soone murmured.
Nearby, a young girl leaned desperately against a flowerbed, curling her legs up and hugging them tightly, as if that would sohow provide her a flicker of safety.
"Today is my sixteenth birthday. I ca to Flower Falls Gorge to celebrate, and how did it turn into this?" the girl said softly.
"What exactly is going on? Are we really never going back?" soone couldn't help but ask.
No one answered, and Charles was also unclear about the subsequent actions of the [Constellation] organization.
But no matter what their plans were, the crux of the issue seed to lie with that bizarre black plant and the tourists before him.
"[Body]? Are they planning to use all the visitors in Flower Falls Gorge as nourishnt for that black plant to grow?" Charles pondered.
At that mont, Dure approached the black-cloaked figure, bending slightly and speaking in a subservient tone:
"My lord, I heard that clues about the attacker have been found, so I rushed over imdiately. I've seen him and can help identify him."
Dure was filled with panic as well. When the attacker struck the visitor center, he had been so terrified that he abandoned the fight and chose to flee.
Now, he was rushing over to make ands for his earlier mistake and prove his worth.
What could help with identification? At that mont, he was so terrified by the attacker that he didn't dare to look again, let alone make a clear identification!
"Is that so? You can help?" The black-cloaked figure's tone suddenly escalated, and recalling Dure, the worthless lord, he felt a strong urge to kill him on the spot!
Dure seed oblivious to the tension and calmly replied, "My lord, I'm the lord of Flower Falls City. If I help, the tourists will trust us more, and we can find those two attackers more quickly!"
"I'll look at the person who was reported just now, I can identify him!" Dure patted his chest and declared confidently.
Then, he began to cast his gaze around the crowd, and the nearby tourists instinctively looked towards the calm Charles.
Dure also started to scrutinize Charles, observing him intently.
"Alright, stop wasting ti here. I've seen this person, it's not him. The attacker is clearly thinner and has a different deanor." the black-cloaked figure said slowly.
He had reviewed the surveillance footage from the scene, but unfortunately, all the caras inside the visitor center had been destroyed. If they hadn't, they could have found more clues.
However, based on the current information, the person being reported was not the attacker they were looking for.
Upon hearing the black-cloaked figure's words, Dure imdiately abandoned his scrutiny, a pleasing smile on his face as he responded, "I also feel it's not him, your judgnt is indeed very accurate, my lord!"
"My lord, I just rembered that when the attacker summoned the mystical beast, our people didn't get a clear look at it due to the distance. However, there should be other tourists who saw it, I've already sent people to investigate."
Just as Dure was saying this, a staff mber from Flower Falls Gorge suddenly ran over, shouting loudly:
"We've found out!"
When Celia heard this, her body involuntarily began to shake. At the ti Charles summoned the mystical beast and entered [Beast Mastery], she and her daughter, Deer, were right beside him!
If the other side learned this information, combined with the earlier report, the two points would co together and wouldn't be a coincidence.
The black-cloaked figure would definitely sense sothing was off.
Everything will be too late then!
"What should we do, what should we do? It's over! We had managed to keep everything perfectly hidden, so why is it all starting to go wrong again?" The anxiety and fear in Celia's heart made her body start to tremble.
At that mont, a pair of hands suddenly rested on her shoulders, and Charles's voice rang in her ears:
"Don't worry, trust ."
Hearing Charles's words, Celia couldn't completely suppress her inner anxiety and fear. She turned to look at Charles, only to find him pulling out his phone and staring at the screen.
"What are you looking at? Is soone coming to help us?" Celia instinctively asked.
A slight smile appeared on Charles's lips, and his calm deanor never changed. He nodded and slowly said, "I'm checking the ti."
"Ti?" Celia looked puzzled and confused.
Charles didn't elaborate much, he just whispered, "Trust , the ti has co."
As soon as he finished speaking, a trendous explosion erupted at the entrance of Flower Falls Gorge, and an angry voice echoed throughout the gorge.
"[Constellation] rats, co out! Face your doom!"
The booming voice made everyone present turn their heads toward the entrance of Flower Falls Gorge. The black-cloaked figure from the [Constellation] organization imdiately left the ground and flew into the air, heading toward the entrance.
Other mbers of the [Constellation] organization quickly followed the black-cloaked figure, rushing toward the entrance.
The voice of Level 8 Beast Master Nathaniel suddenly ignited a spark of hope in the hearts of the tourists, who had previously felt despair.
They all lifted their heads, even if they couldn't see, it didn't stop them from looking toward the entrance of Flower Falls Gorge.
Upon hearing Nathaniel's voice, Dure's body began to tremble, and he anxiously looked around, trying to find a safe route to escape.
At that mont, the staff mber from Flower Falls Gorge finally reached Dure's side.
"My lord, we've found out who was next to the attacker at that ti. There was a mother and daughter, and they were very close, they witnessed the whole process, so surely..." The staff mber's words were cut off as he saw Dure's body move slowly and stiffly.
"Mother and daughter?" Dure swallowed hard and instinctively turned his body to look in the direction of Celia and Deer.
"Yes, my lord, it was a mother and daughter." the staff mber nodded.
"Is one of them a little girl who looks about five or six years old, and the other is a plump woman with her hair tied up?" Dure said slowly.
The staff mber's eyes widened in disbelief, and he nodded in response:
"How did you know, my lord? I hadn't had the chance to say that yet."
Dure stared rigidly in Celia's direction, and at that mont, the staff mber finally realized sothing. He turned his head to follow Dure's gaze.
He saw that his expression began to stiffen as well.
Because behind Celia and Deer, a tall, weary young man was slowly drawing a black long knife! Enjoy exclusive content from empire
They had seen that black long knife before!
It was the very knife that had decapitated one companion after another, or sliced bodies in half.
"Congratulations, you're quite quick." Charles said, gripping the black gold long knife. Four hexagram arrays appeared around him as he slowly walked toward Dure, shielding Celia and Deer behind him.
"The scene might get a bit bloody later, let's not let the children see it." Charles said casually.
Celia imdiately reacted, she quickly reached out to cover Deer's eyes.
A series of events made Celia's emotions fluctuate wildly, up and down. Now, looking at Charles in front of her, her eyes were filled with reliance.
She never expected that one day, the hero spoken of in Genosha would stand before her, protecting her from harm and shielding her from all bad things!
At that mont, Celia's fondness for Charles had reached its peak.
anwhile, Dure and the staff mber were filled with despair.
