Chapter 954 An Old Friend

Sauven spoke in a bland tone, “That world, as recorded, saw a great many Flame Decayers fall. We spent countless years searching and detecting, and finally found it. If we can conquer it, we can quickly cultivate a large number of high- level Flame Decayer.”

Sauven gritted his teeth and said, “At that time, we would become the 9th major force in the Havotune Galaxy. The Pierce family of Rime City is nothing but ants. They will have to repay us for the humiliation they

have caused us!”

“With a team of Lightchasers and ten Purple Elite Ghosts led by me, we will conquer that planet within three months!” declared Nathanial confidently.

“Speaking of which, it had been around half a year since the Pioneer last replied to us, and that was during the second major invasion. After that, there was no news from them. Hector must still be in that world.” reminded Arvin. “Hector was a Flame Decayer before, and now, after a hundred years, he might have already become a supreme Flame Decayer. If that’s the case, other people might be in danger, including Ichabod and

the other two.”

Nathanial declared, “Don’t worry, I’ll handle everything. But… the Pierce family might not be the ones behind

this incident.”

Nathanial shook his head and said, “Although the Pierce family mainly uses water attributes, Elton was killed by attacks of wind and thunder attributes in several places this time. The Ingram family encountered strange attacks, and the Guerrero family suffered from fire and plague attributes. It has nothing to do with water

attributes.”

“It’s typical for the Pierce family to maintain some Flame Decayers with their financial resources.” remarked one person. Nevertheless, Sauven disagreed, saying, “It’s highly likely they’re responsible for this. Nonetheless, I’ll find a way to confirm it. For now, our top priority is to recruit more Flame Ancients. We’ve suffered too many losses in terms of skilled experts during this time.”

Sauven looked at Nathanial and said, “So, this time, only success is allowed, not failure!”

Unbeknownst to them, there was a meeting happening while Gerald and the others were taking their wedding photos in Ries City nearby.

The location was in the mountains, with wild beasts and precious materials surrounding it.

Ries City was, to some extent, a perilous city, as it would be the first target of the beast attack if it happened.

Many Pioneers and Treasure Hunter roamed the mountains, traversing the forests in search of natural

treasures and seeking to make a fortune overnight.

During the photoshoot, Gerald and his group also encountered a few groups of people.

Most explorers traveled alone or in small teams during the expedition, while Pioneers traveled in larger groups. However, they all had large hover cars filled with Elite Ghost.

Beyond Ries City, there were no laws to follow in these mountains,

It was not unusual for them to engage in battles and disputes to claim each other’s findings while journeying through the mountain range.

In these woods, most people would reveal their muscles to others to intimidate them, fully displaying their strength and aura. Once someone realized their power, they wouldn’t dare attack them again.

In this world, there are rules within cities and rules outside of cities.

Upon entering the wilderness, Gerald initially concealed his aura, but it was not long before they discovered that they were being watched.

As they were shooting their wedding photos and aiming to capture the celebratory atmosphere, Gerald and his group had no intention of causing harm. Carolyn deliberately displayed her Flame Decayer aura, which scared off their pursuers, making them turn tail and run.

The shooting that followed proceeded without any problems!

As the sky had darkened, Gerald and the others had arrived at the last shooting location, Mount Starry. It was said that the mountain top had the most beautiful Nebula in the entire Havotune.

it

Upon Gerald and the others reaching the mountain top by hover car, the darkness of the night made difficult for them to use any lighting equipment, resulting in the photos not turning out as well as they had

hoped.

“Too bad,” sighed Carolyn with disappointment, “the Nebula is stunning here, but we can’t seem to capture

the perfect shot.”

Valery smiled and said, “We’re not a professional photography team, so it’s okay. The wedding photos we take here are just a part of it. We’ll take some new ones when we get back to Earth and make up for what we

missed.”

“It’s the only way.” Carolyn nodded and said, “Let’s pack up and go back.”

Jacob plopped down onto the couch inside the hover car and sighed. “Damn, I’m so tired.”

Jacob lacked talent in martial arts and was just a primary level warrior, and he is only a little better than

ordinary people. After a full day of shooting, he was so tired that he almost couldn’t stand.

When Rylee saw Jacob, she quickly helped him up and started massaging his legs.

This made Gerald and Triston envy them so much.

Seeing that, Triston spoke earnestly once more. “I think I should find a girlfriend on Havotune.”

As Claude was driving, after a moment he furrowed his brow and said, “Boss, there seems to be someone

ahead!”

Actually, even without Claude’s reminder, Gerald had already noticed.

Before them, two groups of people were arguing in the jungle ahead.

Specifically, a group of people were being mercilessly beaten up by another group.

“Why should we bother?” said Triston with a frown.

“We can’t turn a blind eye to it,” Gerald said, grinning. “We have to do something; that woman who’s

surrounded needs our help.”

As he looked towards the commotion, Triston suddenly exclaimed, “Hey! Isn’t that Kiana Poole, the guide who showed us around Ries City for the first time? Can’t believe we’ve run into her here.”

Triston suggested, “We should park the car and go check what’s happening over there. Come with me,

Gerald.”

With a nod, Triston went over with Gerald to check the situation, while the others stayed in the car.

As a matter of fact, the group over there also noticed Gerald and his companions’ arrival.

A few individuals came over to see Gerald and his team. When they spotted Gerald and Triston approaching them after getting out of the car, they blocked their way and warned, “This is not your concern. Be wise and

get out of here.”

When the shooting was done, they all toned down their auras, and Carolyn also made sure to do the same.

Hence, they appeared to only have the strength of around Half-Step Flame Decayers.

There were around ten people who surrounded Kiana and the others, and most of them had the strength of around Half-Step Flame Decayers. Among them, two were at the limit of the level of peak Half-Step Flame Decay, and there were also two purple Purple Elite Ghost not far away.

It was evident that this was also a team of Treasure Hunter, and a very powerful one at that.

And it was different for Kiana’s team. They were led by super experts with seven or eight top experts, but the super experts had already been injured at this point.

Gerald paid no attention to the two people in front of him and instead listened to what Kiana was saying.

“Please give them the items, Kiana; otherwise, none of us will survive,” said the injured super expert, gritting

his teeth. “If we die, they will still take the items.”

“Leader, we worked hard to bring this out of that place. We even lost several brothers to it. If we sell this,

we…” There was a hint of reluctance on Kiana’s face.

Upon hearing this, Gerald roughly understood that Kiana and her team had found something valuable in the

mountains, and this group of people came to seize it.

Seeing that Gerald and Triston were not budging, one of them wrinkled their brow and questioned, “You don’t

understand what we’re saying, do you, kid?”

They then gestured toward Gerald and Triston, indicating their intention to approach them.

The group ahead-seemed to have grown impatient. One of them cursed, “Boss, don’t waste time talking to

them. Kill the men and keep the women to reward the brothers. That little girl with the knife looks pretty

good!”

Just as he was about to finish his words, a few popping sounds were heard from behind him.

As they turned their heads, they saw several figures flashing by, slamming people onto the ground and emitting painful groans.
