Chapter 672
By the time Pete tried to stop the robed figure, it was too late.
The vehicle continued speeding along the treacherous mountain road, and no one knew where the next bombing would hit. If their luck can out, they’d be blown to pieces in an instant
The rough terrain made the ride unbearably bumpy, leaving everyone in the car looking pale and sickly.
The robed figure was chanting something under his breath while shaking the bronze bell rhythmically. The sound was eerie and constant, but no one cared to listen
Pere was utterly exasperated
How did things spiral into this chaos? This was nothing like what he had imagined!
Based on his calculations, Stephan wouldn’t dare act recklessly as long as Caleb’s life was at stake. With the child as leverage, Pete was confident Stephan would tread carefully.
Instead, here they were, stuck in this relentless bombing. The other party showed no regard for anything or anyone. Not a shred of mercy was shown. Was Stephan not afraid of Caleb being tormented to death?
Pete gritted his teeth and pulled out his phone to make another call. Before he could dial,
Johanna, pale from the rough tide, suddenly looked up and shouted, “There’s a helicopter coming!”
Pete immediately glanced up and spotted a helicopter approaching in the distance. It was heading straight for their location.
His face turned ashen. Abandoning his earlier attempt to stop the robed figure, he urged, “Hurry up! They’ve locked ontoud if we don’t act now, the next strike will hit us directly!” The robed figure’s chanting grew more intense, his movements with the bronze bell becoming increasingly precise and deliberate. A low, rhythmic ham accompanied his words as he muttered. “Come to Mount Farstone and meet me, Felicia Come meet me!”
The Heart Eater inside the bell was activated. At the same time, the twin venomous creature inside its other host began to stir, taking control of its host’s body and mind.
The feedback came quickly.
Under the influence of the venomous creature, this method of control had never failed.
The robed figure let out a sigh of relief and declared, “It’s done. Falicia will be here soon. She has already received my command. Now, let’s see if Stephan–daces to bomb us again!” And indeed, Stephan didn’t continue the bombardment. From the helicopter, he had spotted Felicia and mogen on the same mountain prak
Another bombing would not only escalate the situation but also risk injuring Felicia and Imogen.
Stephan had no choice but to hold back
One minute passed, then another. The explosionsw
Fete finally let out a sigh of rebel
The robed figure, however, radiated smug confidence, histone dripping with arrogance. “Felicia will be here soon. What’s your next move, Pete? Don’t forget our agreement.”
“Relax, we have the same goal. I haven’t forgotten, “Pete replied, though he kept the car moving. He wasn’t about to let them stop in one place, fearing a sudden bombardement might come
from above.
The robed figure crossed his arms, waiting with unwavering confidence
What none of them sealed was that when the bronze bell rang, Felicia, already on Mount Farstone, from in her tracks. Her body reacted instinctively, and she immediately instructed Scarlet to tie be up
Scarlet’s expression was grim as she hesitated, but she eventually followed through, hinding Felicia tightly
Felicia bi aced herself, fully expecting to love conscious under the influence of the bellut to her shock, nothing happened.
