Chapter 403

“Did you manage to take your revenge?” Finn asked.

“Of course. I cut off their flesh slice by slice and then kidnapped the best doctor around to keep them alive. I wanted them to feel so much pain that they’d rather be dead than alive.”

Xeno’s expression was sinister as he said this. Finn and Ken could not help the shiver that ran through them when they imagined the scene.

“After that, I instructed my subordinates that they could never go overboard with whatever they did.”

The three of them chatted and drank together. Derek and Nico were discussing with Bradley about the Young family. Bradley did not hold back and recounted his experiences with them from when he was a kid till when he was an adult.

Time passed. Soon, it was the next morning. It was another sunny day.

While they were filling their stomachs with their rations, Bradley suddenly shouted to Nash and his group in the front, “Be careful, there should be a cliff ahead. We have to get to shore now.”

Nash slowly opened his eyes, a glint of gold flashing through the depths of his pupils.

Melody and Heidi crawled out of their sleeping bags, still groggy from sleep.

Ten minutes later, Bradley stood up and said, “The river is getting rough. The waterfall should be just ahead. Let’s get ashore quickly!”

Nash leaped onto Bradley’s raft with a grin and said, “Let me take you guys for a ride.” Then, he walked to the back of the raft, gathered his energy, and pushed his palms forward forcefully. Two powerful air currents surged like turbo engines, and the raft’s speed increased dramatically. In the blink of an eye, it overtook the raft in front of them, the one Heidi and Melody were on.

“What’s he doing? Is he going to go down the waterfall directly?” Heidi exclaimed in surprise, her eyes wide.

“Just saving time!”

Melody imitated Nash’s actions to accelerate the raft.

Heidi’s eyes once widened again. “Melody, you’re also a martial artist?”

Finn used a wooden stick from the raft to paddle toward the shore.

Xeno asked, “Aren’t we going down with Mr. Nash and the others?”

Finn looked somewhat embarrassed. “We should go slow. It’ll be more stable that way.”

“Is it because you don’t have enough strength?”

At the very front was a nearly 200 meters high waterfall, roaring thunderously.

Nash manipulated the raft, and it went surging above the water.

Derek and Nico clung to each other and screamed while Bradley lay on the raft, gripping the

wood tightly with his grappling hook.

After the raft had traveled about 20 meters, it began to descend rapidly. The weightlessness. nearly made Derek and Nico wet their pants just as Bradley’s blood pressure skyrocketed.

When they were about 20 meters above the water’s surface, Nash grabbed the edge of the raft and gave it a vigorous shake. The force of the descent was mitigated, but it still caused a splash that reached several meters above the water’s surface.

Both Derek and Nico went completely limp. Bradley turned over and lay on the raft, gasping for breath.

Nash smiled lightly and asked, “Are you guys okay?”

“Okay, my foot! I almost peed my pants!” Nico grieved with a mournful expression. “Was it really necessary just for that bit of time?”

“Bastard, watch your tone!” Bradley bombed, his voice trembling as he stood up on the raft.

Everyone looked

up and saw a raft gliding through the air.

Melody was not quite able to control her power, and the raft ended up flying quite a distance. Just as the raft was about to hit the water, she did the same as Nash had and used her inner energy to grab the edge of the raft before giving it a strong shake. After easing the force, the raft safely landed on the water.

Melody breathed a sigh of relief and then smiled while Heidi’s face was pale. After some time, she regained her composure and mumbled, “T-That was a bit too exciting.

Finn and Ken carried the raft, and it took them a great deal of effort to bring it down.

After the group gathered, Bradley’s expression turned serious as he said, “In about three hours, we’ll need to go ashore and proceed on foot. If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to reach the Seven Pinnacle Peaks by tomorrow morning.”

Nash raised an eyebrow. “Judging from your expression, the road ahead isn’t going to be easy, is it?”
