Chapter 813 I Am Your Murderer As for Lexie and Laylah, their targets were also in Foliage Manor. They were two experts at the level of Half-Step Flame Decay.
At that time, they accepted this mission purely because Gerald accepted a Flame-Decay level mission in the Foliage Manor.
They were curious about Gerald and wanted to get in touch with him.
At this time, when they heard Geraldâs words, they looked at Claude curiously.
Because Claude was married, he was not as nervous as when he saw beauties before. He smiled and said, âIâm Claude.â
âIs he more powerful than a Flame-Decay expert?â Laylah looked at Claude curiously.
At the same time, the two sisters looked at each other. In each otherâs eyes, they saw shock. They knew that Claude was not the only one behind Geraldâs back.
Most importantly, the person in front of them did not look old and was as young as Gerald.
âSo, what do you plan to do?â Lexie looked at Gerald. She held a glass of wine in her hand and her eyes lit up.
The plan is simple. Later, you will drive the hover car up to the sky and try to climb up as high as possible. Donât expose yourself.
When you reach about 1,600 feet into the air, Claude will ask you to stop, and just do what he says,â Gerald said. âAs for things on the ground, I will handle it alone.â
âSo, we will just drive?â Lexie asked in surprise.
Gerald said, âYou can think of it that way.â
âGael is a super genius. He reached the Flame Decay level at the age of thirty-two. At that time, he shocked the whole Solein Kingdom. Now that so many years have passed, and the Four Ancient Families have continuously given him resources, he is probably very strong.â Laylah frowned and said, âIf you go down alone...â
âDo you think you can help?â Gerald asked with a grin.
Lexie was silent.
Indeed, the battle between the Flame-Decay level experts was harsh. Even someone like Lexie, who was only a step away from the Half-Step Flame Decay, could not help much.
âThen be careful.â She looked at Gerald worriedly and said, âIf you find that you canât kill him, leave immediately. Foliage Manor is not simple. Other than one Flame-Decay expert, there are many other experts.â
âI know what Iâm doing.â Gerald smiled and said, âToday, he will definitely die.â
Seeing the smile on Geraldâs face, Lexie was stunned. Then, she nodded and said, âIn short, you have to be careful.â
The car drove forward. When they were close to Foliage Manor, the car stopped and Gerald got out of the car.
The surroundings were dark. Gerald got out of the car. A cold wind blew and the sky was full of stars.
Gerald walked toward his destination, a small artificial lake.
Most of the people living in the suburbs were upper-class people, and this lake was a place where many of them came to take a walk. However, every day at this time, everyone near the lake would evacuate because most of them knew that Gael had the habit of meditating near the lake.
In the pavilion near the lake, a man wearing a white suit and a windbreaker was sitting cross-legged on the shore.
This person was Gael, the most extraordinary genius in the City of Phoenix.
He was now forty years old, but when he reached the Flame Decay level, he was only thirty-two years old. He achieved this as young as Hector.
However, the resources he obtained overwhelmed Hectorâs. Hector broke through to the Flame Decay level during imprisonment and escape.
Gael became a Flame-Decay expert with the help of countless resources.
Not far behind Gael were a few people standing with their powers ranging from Super to Half-step Flame Decay. These people were all experts from the Cruz family.
In addition, there was an old man in the pavilion.
âI have been telling you that your state of mind is the most important.â The old man looked at Gael and said, âAlthough I have not reached Flame Decay, after reaching that level, your state of mind and determination will mean a lot. You do not seem to be calm today.â
âMaster.â Gael opened his eyes and said, âI feel a little flustered today. I feel like something is going to happen.â
The old man was at the level of peak Half-Step Flame Decay, but he was Gaelâs teacher. He created this rare genius, and his status in the Cruz family kept rising.
âYour heart is in chaos,â the old man shook his head and said.
Gael frowned and then muttered, âMaster, it has been a year since Ichabod went to that world. We have been fighting in that place for hundreds of years, but the Pioneers didnât find anything. The things they take back are very few. Do you think Ichabod will...â
Ichabod was the Flame Decay expert with an ice attribute killed by Gerald on Earth.
âAccording to the feedback, it is just a primitive world. It is estimated that the martial arts of the people there are not bad. There are some Flame Decay experts, making their battle a little difficult,â the old man said. âIchabod has reached the level of Flame Decay and become a Lightchaser. He wonât be in danger.â
âBut the people we sent to continue the exploration... We didnât receive any news from them,â Gael sighed. âWhy donât they just send more experts over and take the enemies down in one fell swoop?â
âAlas,â The old man sighed. âWe are under the pressure of this world. If we suddenly leave the group of experts, it will attract the attention of other powers. Our rise will be based on dead bodies. We have many enemies. Moreover, if we attract the attention of those people above us, we will have to confess once they interrogate us.
âIn that world, there are so many Bones of Eternity. If we can obtain them, most of us peak Half-Step Flame Decay experts will be able to break through to the Flame Decay level. As long as we win the battle and obtain the bones, we will be able to leave this world and enter the planet above.â As the old man spoke, there was a trace of yearning in his eyes.
He raised his head and looked at the three shining planets in the sky. His eyes were passionate.
âWhen I was young. I had some lucky chances. I was lucky enough to go there once. That world is a paradise. I dreamed of living there countless times.â The old man revealed a trace of yearning on his face. âSo, calm down. When you become stronger, we will have more confidence. We will also have greater authority in the Four Ancient Families.â
âIs that world really that good?â Gael also raised his head and looked up at the sky.
After he finished speaking, he slowly let out a breath and said, âMaster, after this mission is over, I intend to ask my family for their permission to go to that world to take a look. First, I want to see the situation of Ichabod. Second, I want to go and train myself and see if I can make any breakthroughs.â
The old man frowned.
At this time, a voice sounded, âYou donât have to go.â
âWho is that?â When Gael heard this voice, his eyes turned cold. He turned around.
Buzz.
An aggressive aura surged from behind him. A person approached from afar. He held a saber and a sword in his hand and instantly attacked Gael.
âIâm your murderer.â A furious roar resounded.
At the same time, in the air, the hatch of the hover car opened. Claude leaned against it with his lips pursed. He held a lit cigarette in his mouth, and then he smiled and pulled the trigger.
Whoosh.
A bullet was shot out.
