Chapter 888 Itâs Her After getting out of the car, the group of five walked towards the gate.
Two people were standing at the door, a man and a woman, both in their thirties. Gerald estimated that they were both Half-Step Flame Decayers.
The woman had long silver hair, and the man had black hair.
Gerald was secretly surprised. The Half-Step Flame Decayers from the Archaic Tribe were doorkeepers.
âWho are you?â when the two saw Gerald and the others walk over, the man snorted coldly.
âThis is Anabel Pierce from the Pierce family in Mullen City. Iâm here on behalf of the Pierce family in Mullen City to take part in the trial. This is Orion Pierce, my younger brother, and he is here to report the resources he collected in the City of Phoenix.
These three will take part in the trial together with me. They are my family servantsâ Anabel said in neither a servile nor overbearing manner.
âThe Pierce family in Mullen City?â The man frowned. Then he looked at the woman beside him and said, âGo verify.â
The woman nodded. There was something on her wrist that looked like a watch, and she pressed it.
In the next second, a virtual screen appeared in front of her with many things on it. She moved her finger continuously, and soon, Anabelâs appearance was on the screen.
âIt is indeed Anabel Pierce. She has reached the level of peak Half-Step Flame Decay and obtained the qualifications to participate in the trial,â the woman said softly.
The man looked at Anabel and shook his head. âThis is not where you enter.â
â
While they were talking, a car stopped not far away. Then a young man, who appeared to be in his twenties. got out of the car with three people.
âA Flame Decayer!â Gerald was slightly surprised and looked at the young man.
The young man was quite handsome. He had sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and a tall and beefy body.
Three people were standing behind him, including two women and one man. The man was wearing a mask, and the two women, the same as Anabel, had silver hair.
Gerald was a little suspicious and thought, are all the women from the Archaic Tribe with silver hair?
Why not men?
The two at the door seemed to recognize the young man. The man hurriedly came forward and said, âMr.
Pierce, are you here to participate in the trial?â
âYes,â Kameron Pierce smiled indifferently. After taking a few steps, he saw Anabel. He turned around and said with a smile, âHey, isnât this the gorgeous Anabel?â
When Anabel saw Kameron, she pulled a long face. Yet she still bowed to him together with Orion and said, âHello, Mr. Pierce.â
Gerald, Carolyn, and the others hurriedly followed suit.
âTsk, tsk. What is it? After I rejected you, you found these Half Step Flame Decayers to take part in the trial together with you?
Kameron looked at Anabel with a half smile and said âActually why not marry me? If you marry me, you can be the direct line of descent as well. You get to be my legal wifeâ
He shook his head and said, âWhy do you have to hold on like this? You want to be taken seriously by those higher-ups in the tribe, but you canât find the right people to help you. The best you can do is find those Half-Step Flame Decayers to make do.â
âDonât bother, Mr. Pierce,â Anabel said calmly.
âI like how cold and aloof you are,â Kameron chuckled and said. âItâs fun to conquer a woman like you. Iâll see you at the trial,â
As he spoke, he walked towards the door. Then, he thought of something and said with a sneer, âOh, by the way, you have come to the wrong door. The front door is for the direct line of descent only. Those from the branch families like you should take the side door.â
After saying that, he laughed and turned to walk into the door.
The two at the door regained their indifference. They pointed to the other side and said, âYour entrance is this way.â
âSorry for the trouble,â Anabel said to the two with a cold face and then walked to the side with Gerald and the others.
Walking to a place where no one else was around, Orion gritted his teeth and said, âKameron is such a jerk! What else does he have besides a good family background and sufficient resources? Anabel, you are no less talented than he is. With enough resources, Iâm sure you would have been a Flame Decayer already.â
Anabel shook her head.
She thought, talent?
My resources are indeed inferior to those direct descendants, but not to Gerald and the others. I donât lack Bones of Eternity.
Of course, she had no idea that there were countless Bones of Eternity on Earth. Gerald and the others were already used to them. If she did, no one would know how she would feel.
âDo you have a beef with him?â Carolyn asked.
âHumph! He was in the same class as Anabel. Both of them started studying at our familyâs school when they were young.â Orion said. âThe trial is held once every ten years, and they are both qualified for the trial this time. She wanted to team up with him at first, but he said he would only do so if she married him!
âHe is a famous playboy who wants to keep every pretty woman for himself,â Orion scolded. âHow could she be happy marrying such a man? So, she turned him down and had no choice but to find a new team.â
Carolyn looked at him with a sneer and said, âSeriously? You are criticizing him? He bullies you, so you pick on those below you? Youâre about the same as him, arenât you?â
Orionâs expression changed, and then his face turned red.
He forced a smile, turned around, and said, âWell, this time, my sister has your help. Iâm sure sheâll hit the ground running. Sheâd better get them out of the trial and keep them out of the top ten.â
Gerald smiled and thought, we should try our best not to mess with them. They are the direct descendants of the Archaic Tribe, after all, Gerald thought for a moment and said, âBy the way, it seems to me that women from the Archaic Tribe all have silver hair, and men have black hair.â
Anabel smiled and said, âWe will dye our hair when we reach sixteen.â
âWhy?â Carolyn asked, puzzled.
Anabel shook her head. âI donât have a clue.â
Then she raised her head and said, âWeâre here.â
The side gate was not nearly as grand as the main gate, but even so, it was about fifteen feet long and wide.
A person was standing at the door, and Anabel introduced herself. After the person verified her identity, he said softly, âA family elder is waiting in the left wing who will arrange your accommodation and take you to be tested for bone age.â
âThank you,â Anabel thanked him, and then they walked to the door. Behind the door was a courtyard.
On the left side of the courtyard, a door was opened. Anabel, Gerald, and the others walked over.
A slim figure was inside with her back facing them. Anabel took them over, bowed, and said, âThis is Anabel Pierce from the Pierce family in Mullen City reporting.â
âYou are Anabel Pierce?â The woman turned around.
She appeared to be in her thirties, with a smile and parted lips, showing her eight teeth.
Seeing the woman, Gerald, Carolyn, and Valery had chills down their backs. They felt horrified at the same time.
âItâs her!â
