The two of them were probably the people closest to Andrius.After meeting again in Sumeria, they fell into a strange silence.Not long after, Noir sighed and broke the silence. “What brings you here, Ms. Fullberry?”Halle said solemnly, “I have the latest information on the missing people.”The missing people!Noir never thought that Halle would know about this and hurriedly asked, “Tell me. What’s going on?”“Actually, since the missing people cases and the epidemic outbreak started, I’ve had a suspicion in my heart.”Halle said, “My guess is that the Second War God is behind this. Only he would happily defame Andrius like this.”Noir nodded slightly. He had the same thoughts.Halle looked around and lowered her voice. “That’s why, from the second day of the incident, I secretly assembled a team to investigate this matter.“The team comprised of some trusted members of my family and some private detectives I hired. I instructed them to carry trackers and listening devices a
Noir’s body shook, and his gaze when he looked at Halle became complex.Andrius’ life or death was naturally of immense importance to him. He once again fell into silence after hearing Halle’s words.“That’s right.” Halle looked at Noir again. It seemed like she was not just talking to him but also to herself. “Andrius isn’t dead. He’s still alive!“In fact, when I first started investigating this matter, I was afraid.“However, when I thought that what I was doing was something that Andrius would spare no effort to do as well, and it was something he considered his duty... I gained strength and hope.“I was no longer alone. I wasn’t walking this path by myself!” At that point, Halle’s eyes filled with tears.“It was as if Andrius was still hiding in the shadows, quietly watching our actions. When we’re in danger, he’ll step forward to reverse the situation and make everything right again!”Noir stammered for a moment, not knowing what to say.Could Andrius really still be aliv
The Swallows must be included among them.“However...” Otto frowned and said, “Although the Insect Ruler is dead, his younger brother joined a family in central Florence. He has been in hiding for many years, and no one knows what plans he’s brewing.”Andrius’ heart skipped.The Insect Ruler’s brother would not be much inferior in the field of insects than the Insect Ruler himself. If a person like that was determined to use insects for evil, it would pose a significant threat and harm.“That’s why I’m giving you this ‘Art of Controlling Insects’ manual and the Insect Controlling Flute. Hopefully, you won’t be forced into the defensive if you encounter this person in the future.”Andrius felt immense respect and hurriedly thanked Otto. “Thank you for your care and guidance, Elder Price. I will always remember your teachings!”Otto nodded and did not continue the topic. He merely said, “Close your eyes. I’ll send you away.”Andrius did as he was told. He did not know how much tim
Andrius frowned slightly and pushed open the door.Hiss...As soon as he entered, he saw a girl bound with ropes inside.The girl had disheveled hair, a sickly pale face with traces of blood at the corners of her mouth, and her eyes emitted an eerie red glow, making her look ferocious.As soon as Andrius entered, the girl noticed him and immediately started hissing and struggling fiercely, as if she wanted to break free and tear him to pieces.Andrius was shocked. Although he only glanced at this girl briefly, he recognized her immediately.She was Vivian Gibbs, Conrad’s daughter!Andrius had crossed paths with her several years ago.However, Vivian had always been quiet, especially after her mother passed, and spent her days reading the Bible in isolation. How did she end up like this?Andrius rushed forward.Hiss!Vivian continued to struggle, appearing extremely feral.Andrius ignored her and carefully observed the situation.Suddenly, he noticed the external injuries o
Andrius was struck with a realization.It turned out that the address was based in Murrfield. It was no wonder the Hawkeye Group searched for so long without any leads.Fortunately, his stab in the dark succeeded.Kelvin noticed the change in Andrius’ expression and could not help but ask, “Is this address very important?”Andrius nodded and said, “It’s related to an appointment I made with an old friend.”Kelvin took the initiative to say, “In that case, better sooner than later. Let’s go now since it’s still early!”He immediately set off with Andrius.After more than an hour of traveling, they arrived at a valley in a strategic location.The valley was flanked by barren hills covered with thick fog, concealing everything around and making it impossible to see what was inside. Whistling winds occasionally echoed in the valley, and the cold wind felt like blades against their faces.Kelvin pointed ahead at the mist. “Wolf King, the address written on the paper is here. The su
Andrius followed closely, and they soon arrived at a cottage.“Here.” Registus took out a small wooden box and pushed it toward Andrius.Andrius opened it and narrowed his eyes.The box contained many documents. They were all detailed records of the heinous crimes that the fake emperor, the Second War God, and others had committed over the years.Andrius had never heard of some of these crimes, but they were written down clearly here. It was clear how great the sins of the fake emperor and the others were.“Be careful, Andrius.” Registus looked at the evidence and said grimly, “When you weren’t around, the fake emperor and the Second War God have made new plans for Sumeria. They’re researching a new generation of insect soldiers to fight the Lycantroops. You must stay vigilant.”Andrius already had a rough idea from Otto.After hearing Registus’ words, he snorted coldly. “Don’t worry about their ambitions. After returning from the temple, I’m not like how I was before. Even the
Andrius was excited and suggested, “Why don’t we spar? I haven’t had a proper fight since I broke through to Martial Lord.”It was clear that Otto was a Martial Lord or stronger. However, since he was Andrius’ savior, Andrius could not go all out if they were to fight.It was different with Dennis.They could have a battle without pulling any punches.Dennis did not speak and merely looked at Registus, but his eyes were also eager.“Go ahead,” Registus agreed.“In that case, let’s spar!” Dennis nodded at Andrius.Andrius got into a stance and immediately rushed in.Battles between people who could use inner energy did not appear much different from fights between martial artists, but the presence of inner energy made it far more dangerous.After all, a careless injury from inner energy could result in a serious injury.Bam!Clang!Boom!The two fought fiercely like two tigers. The inner energy they generated from the battle struck the surrounding trees and ground continuou
“You... I...” Dax chuckled wryly and said, “I’m so surprised that I don’t even know what to say.“I never thought you’d still be alive. If the Second War God found out, he’d wake up in the middle of the night from fright.”The Second War God!A glint flashed in Andrius’ eyes.“What exactly happened?”Dax sighed and looked at Andrius carefully, trying to see through the man before him. “What did you experience in the water, and how did you escape?”He could sense it. Andrius had not only returned but had also undergone a transformation. He would not believe it if Andrius said nothing happened.Andrius did not comment and simply asked, “How has the situation in the East River State been recently?”“It’s very grim.” Dax said in a low voice, “Ever since your incident in Murrfield, there have been cases of people disappearing, mainly centered around Sumeria.“Furthermore, during this period, there has been a peculiar epidemic spreading in the East River State, occurring almost simu
