Chapter 5829
Clack!
In a temporary camp a few miles away from the Mandrake Residence, the warrior who snapped off his own arm casually reattached it before injecting something into himself.
The skin of his arm started wriggling intensely before becoming normal again. He gripped his fist, and felt incredible power surge in his arm.
It was clear that a broken arm meant nothing to this man.
Clap, clap, clap!
A string of light claps was heard.
A figure came out of the forest, his arms crossed. Dozens more followed him, their heads raised up high; they were all expert martial artists.
The man leading the group had a square face with quite a dignified look.
It was none other than Stefan. He smiled faintly when looking at the warrior in front of him.
“This feels a little different compared to what we agreed on, Master Takai. I help you recover and improve your strength… and you take the beads back for me.
“We’ve both acknowledged this.
“And yet, you were scared witless as soon as you bumped into Harvey! Not only did you leave with an apology, but you even broke your own arm!
“How disappointing!”
Stefan’s arm trembled, and the beads in his hand exploded into pieces.
The experts behind him dared not let out a single breath. They all knew that the high and mighty man in front of them was infuriated.
Takai took a deep breath. “It’s not that I’m breaking my promise. I don’t want to destroy the three beads…”
“So you’re saying you’re planning to watch as the beads get sent to the Aenar Temple? You have big ambitions! You must be planning to reap the rewards after the storm dies down, huh?”
“I’m a man of my word, Mr. Stefan.
“Since I promised to get the beads for you, that’s exactly what I’ll do. The beads will not be sent to the Aenar Temple. You have my word.
“You won’t get any trouble out of this, either.”
Stefan slowly turned around.
“I do hope that you don’t break your promise. If the beads do get sent to the Aenar Temple… The people will rally against the sect.
“When that happens, I’ll destroy your entire family myself. You should know that while it’d be hard for the Aenar Temple to do that, it’s not impossible!”
Takai nodded.
After Stefan left, he quickly dialed a number on his phone. Nanako came out of the forest, wearing a horrible expression.
“Is there something you need me for?” she asked.
Takai raised his head to the sky, grinning.
“These people like to fight, don’t they?
“Stefan doesn’t want the beads to be sent to the Aenar Temple… The Surreys want the Aenar Temple to catch all the heat by giving out the beads…
“This is a chance for the Island Nations! I want them to obliterate each other! This place will be the Islanders’ bridgehead soon enough!”
