Gerald’s words left Xavier silent for a long time. At this moment, Kristian cheerfully said, “As long as
there’s no Eternal Flame Decayer, we don’t have much to worry about. Besides, we can intentionally
hide our strength and then suddenly burst forth, who knows, we might be able to instantly take out
some people. And you know who we really are, Soulreaper Sect… Others might be afraid, but I’m not
scared of them!”
After a long silence, Xavier finally let out a deep breath and said, “Everyone, since it’s like this, I’ll
accept this favor. In the future, if there’s anything you need my help with, no matter how difficult of
dangerous, I, Xavier Callum, will not hesitate to assist!” “Stop messing around,” Yael said at this
moment. “It’s still uncertain whether we can get out of here safely!”
Gerald nodded and said, “Alright, let’s start by discussing the specific situation over there!” Next, Xavier
began to carefully explain the specific details of the target object to them. The Felton family’s leader on
Promise Island was a master at the supreme peak level of Flame Decay, named Damarion
Felton. Xavier had previously ruined his plans, and the more Damarion thought about it, the angrier he
became. So, he devised a scheme to trick his wife into coming out and then kidnapped her as a threat!
The purpose was to get Xavier there, and as for whether they wanted to kill Xavier or blackmail him
afterward, it was hard to say.
According to Xavier, there’s a high probability that someone wants to kill him and then completely
destroy the base he has established on Promise Island. So taking action is an inevitable situation. As
they conversed, they continued to make their way along Mount Arctic.
Along the way, Gerald encountered many plants and wild animals he had never seen of heard of NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
before. With their supreme peak level of Flame Decay, their journey was relatively smooth and
unobstructed.
In fact, the Supreme Peak Flame Decayer could walk sideways throughout most of Havotune. The
premise is not to encounter experts at the eternal level of Flame Decay. Although their progress was
slow, Mount Arctic did not have any strange occurrences like Misty Mound Forest.
Thanks to Gerald and Xavier, they managed to pass through Mount Arctic smoothly. By the time they
reached Mount Arctic, the sky had already darkened. Upon leaving Mount Arctic, they breathed a sigh
of relief. After the car came to a stop, Xavier arranged for a thorough disinfection of the vehicle.
At the same time, he found Gerald and said to him, “The destination is not far now. They are about 12
miles west of Mount Arctic. Although Mount Arctic is dangerous, it is full of treasures. They have set up
their base near Mount Arctic and are exploring for treasures within it. The previous conflict with them
also took place in this area.” Gerald nodded and said, “Since we’re already here, there’s no reason to
retreat. If we manage to take it, we can rest here for a few days or take a detour to the Archaic Tribe
base.” “After passing Mount Arctic, there’s actually only one way to reach the
Archaic Tribe’s base. Taking a detour would be quite troublesome,” Xavier said with a serious
expression. “What I’m worried about now is that Micah and his group might have already gotten ahead
of us and set up an ambush on this road.” Indeed, the presence of the Eternal Flame Decayer on the
other side was undeniable, and they had been constantly on the move before. The possibility of them
being faster was not insignificant. Gerald shook his head and said, “Well, let’s not think about that for
now. We’ll talk about it after you rescue your wife!”
Xavier looked at Gerald with gratitude and said, “With your help, my chances of success have
increased significantly. But remember, if things go wrong, you should leave immediately. I won’t blame
you. If we manage to save them successfully, then from now on, my life, Xavier, belongs to you!” Mr.
Callum, you’re being too serious,” Gerald said with a laugh.
“By the way, up until now, I still don’t know what to call you!” Xavier said, looking at Gerald. Gerald
smiled awkwardly and cleared his throat, “I belong to a special department within the Archaic Tribe, so
it’s not appropriate for me to directly reveal my name. You can just call me Gerry.”
“Alright!” Xavier said with an understanding expression, “After we finish disinfecting here, we’ll head to
Damarion Felton’s base.” Gerald nodded and said, “Alright!” Along the way, Xavier had been of great
help to them. In fact, without Xavier’s guidance, they wouldn’t have been able to traverse Mount Arctic
so smoothly.
Even the route to the Archaic Tribe’s base would haye required them to gather information slowly. As
for the situation on Mount Arctic, without understanding it, they might have been at a disadvantage! Of
course, with the existence of Valery’s life attribute, the problem isn’t actually that significant. It’s just that
taking some detours is inevitable. It’s evident that having someone with a wealth of experience in any
place is such a wonderful thing. Taking advantage of the disinfection, Gerald and his friends also tidied
up their belongings!
The food they had brought with them was running low. They had initially thought that it would only take
a day or two to reach the Archaic Tribe’s base, and then they could start searching for the Ingenious
Needles. However, their stay had been much longer than expected, resulting in their food supplies
being insufficient.
After checking for a while, Gerald strapped the Dragon Saber and bronze sword to his back, just like
Valery and Triston, who were also carefully inspecting their own belongings. This is a pre-war custom
of the Night Watch.
Sylvie watched intently from the side, her eyes sparkling as she followed along and imitated the actions
with style. After Gerald and the others had finished their inspection, Xavier gave the order to set off.
The battle plan had been prepared well in advance. Xavier and his team were positioned at the front,
while Gerald and the others kept their strength at the level of peak Half-Step Flame Decay. Taking
advantage of the enemy’s vulnerability, Gerald’s small squad carried out a surprise attack and
successfully rescued the captured individuals.
The distance of 12 miles wasn’t too far. After about ten minutes, Gerald saw some lights in the
distance, where there were quite a few buildings.
These buildings are somewhat similar to shipping containers, but they are foldable, much like the tents
on Earth. Of course, they come fully equipped with all the necessary facilities. Complete kitchens and
bathrooms are included. Up ahead, there was a stretch of walls made of metal, with heights ranging
from 13 to 16 feet, somewhat resembling a city wall. They formed the perimeter defense of the base.
At the forefront, there stood a tall watchtower, and on it, a person was stationed. This person had
clearly spotted Gerald and his companions’ hover car, and without hesitation, he quickly sounded the
alarm! This was Gerald’s first time seeing the appearance of the base on Promise Island.
He could probably guess that the base on Promise Island was a relatively safe place. By using these
metal walls to encircle a secure area, it allowed the people on Promise Island to live within it!
For example, at Damarion’s base, apart from their own people, there are also some others who rely on
them and live within the base. They either get absorbed by Damarion’s influence or have to pay
expensive living expenses.
After all, this place is relatively safe, while living in the wild offers no sense of security whatsoever.
According to Xavier, the Eight Forces’ base is home to a larger population, while the other bases have
relatively fewer residents.
At Damarion’s base, there were only a few hundred residents, most of whom were below the level of
Flame Decay. There were probably only about a dozen experts at the level of Flame Decay, which was
even less than what Micah’s organization had.
After the alarm sounded, swift shadows of people flickered across those metal walls. One of the burly
men walked up to the city wall. Beside him stood a man wearing a black cloak, his entire face hidden
beneath its folds!
He exuded an eerie aura, and the energy emanating from him was at the supreme peak level of Flame
Decay! Without a doubt, this person was from the Soulreaper Sect.
Xavier! I didn’t expect you to really come, your love truly runs deep!” The burly man said with a hearty
laugh. “Where’s my wife?” Xavier stopped the car, then got out with a moody expression on his face.
“Your wife?” Damarion chuckled, “I have to say, even though she’s older, she still looks quite youthful
and charming. Many of my buddies almost couldn’t control themselves!”
“If you dare to harm a single hair on her head, I’ll fight you to death!” Xavier gritted his teeth, his face
beginning to contort with anger. “Fight me to death?” Damarion sneered, “Bring her here!” At that
moment, a pole rose from the center of the base. On the pole, a naked woman was bound by a strange
chain, exposed to the gazes of everyone present.
She seemed to have fainted, her head drooping down. “Damn! You jerk!” Anabel couldn’t help but
curse in pain. Gerald glanced over and quickly shifted his gaze elsewhere. In his chest, a surge of
anger rose as well.
