"There is danger in everything." Dean said in a flat tone: "So sometimes you have to learn to take advantage of the danger."
Sergei was startled. Most people were afraid of danger so they would avoid danger. Smart people knew how to take precautions. However, the boy in front of him had learned to use danger as his weapon. It was hard to imagine that a boy who was less than 20 years old would have such a mind. He suddenly felt that the mysterious dark church was nothing in front of this boy.
"Although I don't know what he is thinking but I hope that his plan won't fail." Sergei thought in his heart. Now he and Dean were in the same boat. Now he had provoked a force like the dark church. This was not a force that a single aristocrat could match. He couldn't imagine how many lives would be affected if Dean failed. He couldn't imagine how many people around Dean would die without a complete corpse.
The night was blurred. Both of them avoided the checkpoints as they moved on the suburban road. They could see the streets were brightly lit. The beautiful nightlife had just begun.
Dean pulled the rope of the horse. Aisha sat in front of him and leaned on his arms. Their chests and backs were touching, but the body temperature from Aisha's back was always cold. He felt that Aisha was restless in his arms. This restlessness had been accompanying her ever since they came out from the dark church. He was worried as he whispered in her ear: "Bear with it. After a few days, I'll let you have a good meal."
Aisha's restless reaction became more obvious when she heard his words. Her tightly closed red lips slightly opened, revealing two sharp teeth.
Dean silently looked at her face. He shook the reins of the horse and sped up.
Aisha's restlessness gradually calmed down as they reached the Mozha River.
Dean was relieved as he looked up. He pulled the reins of the horse and pointed to a place: "Who are those people?"
Sergei rushed behind Dean and saw that there were soldiers patrolling the area. He was angry: "Master, don't be angry! This is the work of the military! Two months ago the military had sent people to guard the area. They said that there were evil thieves coming and going. But they didn't go anywhere. They just stayed here and monitored us! "
Dean understood. No wonder he saw the patrolling soldiers before the curfew time. He asked: "Did you provoke the military?"
Sergei replied: "I'm angry because I didn't provoke them. You donated a set of legendary items to the military for free when the barbarians invaded. It helped them to repel the enemy and establish their prestige. Now that you are gone, they turned around and tried to bite back. They are worse than me!"
Dean's eyes lit up as he sensed a trace of something else. He immediately said: "Abandon the horse and sneak back."
"Okay." Sergei dismounted without hesitation.
Dean dismounted with Aisha in his arms. They sneaked along the other side of the slope of the Moza River. He used his thermal vision to scan the surroundings but didn't see any hidden sentries. It seemed that the surveillance here was relatively loose and no masters were sent over.
Knowing this, he was puzzled. Soon, he sneaked back into the castle. With a sweep of his gaze, he saw a few familiar heat sources in the castle. He immediately jumped over the courtyard outside the manor and jumped into the garden lawn.
Sergei followed Dean into the garden. He stood up from the grass and said: "Master, there is no surveillance in the yard. We can …"
Dean stretched out his hand to stop him and pointed to the ground.
Sergei looked down and saw a green line in the grass where his feet landed. He couldn't help but retract his feet and scratched his head: "They are too careful. They even set up a trap in their own yard."
Dean didn't say anything. He crossed the line and went straight forward.
Sergei immediately followed behind him and followed his footsteps.
Glenn was leaning on the sofa in the living room. She was bored and yawning. She was thinking about how to torture the disobedient mercenaries tomorrow. Suddenly she heard a noise from outside. She was surprised. She left the sofa and put on her boots. She appeared at the entrance of the manor. She looked to the left side where the noise came from. She saw a sturdy figure walking in the night.
Glenn was relieved after she saw his appearance: "Sergei, how come you are back? Didn't the young master ask you to go outside the giant wall?"
Sergei shrugged: "I came back with the young master."
"Young master also came back?" Glenn was surprised.
"I haven't seen you for a long time." A calm voice sounded from behind Glenn.
Glenn was scared. She felt the hair on her body stand up. She jumped back and saw a teenager standing behind her. His hair was a little white. His face was familiar but also a bit strange. What surprised her the most was that the teenager's left hand was wrapped in a few pieces of cloth. But there were still a few frozen ice thorns protruding out. It seemed as if they were growing on his arm.
"Is it really you?" Glenn quickly recovered and said: "Are you okay …" She was in a hurry to take a step forward when she felt a chill coming from behind him.
She looked behind Dean, only to see a slender figure standing there with his face covered, like a ghost.
Dean nodded and went into the living room. He sat down on the sofa and held Aisha's hand. He pulled her to sit on the sofa. He looked at Glenn: "Call them down. I have something to say."
"Got it." Glenn's eyes were still on Aisha's body. She frowned as she saw Dean holding her hand intimately. Then she turned and went upstairs.
After a moment, sounds of rapid footsteps came from upstairs.
"Is the young master back?"
"Really?"
"I saw it! It's true!"
The first one to appear in front of Dean was Nicholas. Although the old man's waist was stooped, but his movements were like the wind. Mason, Zach, Gabriel, and Hecate were behind him.
"Young Master, you're finally back." Nicholas wasn't wearing any shoes, and his face was full of excitement as he watched him run down the stairs.
Dean looked at Neuss's bare feet and nodded to him. He looked at Neuss: "Are you okay?"
Neuss' eyes were wet as he heard Dean's words. He knew the reason behind Dean's greeting. His days were getting worse since Dean disappeared from the dark church. He accidentally overheard the conversation between Hawkeye and a head knight. He knew that Dean was wanted by the higher ups.
He was shocked at that time. He took advantage of the fact that the team prepared by the head commander hadn't come to capture him. He escaped from the dark church that night and sneaked back to the castle.
Now that he had restored his identity as Neuss and was hiding in the castle, he wasn't found by the dark church. But these days were somewhat dull and painful. Moreover, he was on tenterhooks every day. He knew that once he fell into the hands of the dark church, his life would be worse than death. Compared to that, Thorn Flower Prison could be regarded as heaven.
"I'm fine." Neuss said: "Young master, are you okay? You can't go back to the dark church. You are wanted by them. They will arrest you once you go back. It is said that the dark parliament has issued this order personally. The dark church in the 12 districts will arrest you …"
Sergei smiled bitterly: "You're too late."
Neuss was puzzled as he looked at Sergei.
"Do you know where we came from?" Sergei smiled.
"Have … Have you been there?" Neuss' eyes widened. He suddenly thought of something and heaved a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, you weren't discovered, otherwise …"
Sergei sighed and said, "Not only did I go there, I also followed the Young Master into the headquarters' conference room. At that time, there were several people who looked like important people in the meeting."
Noyce was dumbfounded and speechless.
Dean didn't let them continue to waste time talking. He indifferently said: "I remember that I had given you a task six months ago. Does anyone remember our purpose six months ago?"
Nicholas' eyelids twitched: "Master, you told us to complete our tasks and wait for the opportunity. Are you coming back to …"
Dean nodded: "Yes, I'm ready to unify the outer wall in half a month. All the consortiums and forces will have one name and one master!"
Glenn, Nicholas, Neuss and others were stunned as they heard his words.
Dean didn't give them any buffer time: "Everything is ready for this expedition. Don't worry as this is just an appetizer. You just need to improve your strength every day for the next half a month. Tomorrow I will bring a batch of God's marrows which will help senior hunters to break through their limits. But before that you must reach the limit of senior hunters!"
Everyone looked at him in a daze.
Gwyneth's silent expression changed as she heard the words' God's marrows'. She stared at Dean as she quietly clenched her fists.
Dean noticed Gwyneth's eyes: "Gwyneth, it won't be long before you will be able to accomplish what you always wanted to do."
Everyone's eyes looked at Gwyneth.
They knew from Sergei that the girl's wish was to return to the inner wall and take revenge on the people who had framed her.
"Thank you young master!" Gwyneth slightly lowered her head as she bit her lips. She knew that Dean wasn't the boy she knew when they first met. Although God's Marrow wasn't a top secret but only people who had reached a certain level had the right to know about it.
Dean nodded slightly as he thought of the patrolling guards outside: "What's going on with the guards stationed outside?"
"You already know about it?" Glenn was startled. She didn't expect Dean to notice it as soon as he came back. She hesitated for a moment: "According to the information I've gathered, it seems that the soldiers are monitoring us. Is it related to the Mel family?"
"Mel family?" Dean narrowed his eyes.
Glenn said: "The superiors of the soldiers are former subordinates of the Mel family. Moreover, the Mel family has moved to the western part of the commercial district and settled down there. It seems that they are ready to restart their development."
"It's because I'm not here that they are reviving." Dudian nodded as a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Nicotine suddenly said: "Young Master, I am guilty, please punish me!" Finished speaking, he immediately bowed down.
Dean frowned: "Speak."
Nicotine said bitterly, "Young Master, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to complete the task you gave me before. I have cultivated the mulberry leaves and other plants you asked me to cultivate, but two months ago, my plantation was forcefully bought by a group of people. The local land management department actually approved it, so … … the things you asked me to cultivate are now gone."
Dean's eyes flashed: "Did the Mel family do it?"
Nicholas felt Dudian's anger and nervously replied: "Master, I have checked and it is indeed related to the Mel family."
Dean coldly looked at him: "Didn't you ask Old Fulin for help?"
Cold sweat overflowed from Nicotine's back: "Master, I did but Old Fulin was ill and refused to visit. I couldn't …"
Dean's face sank, and his eyes were as gloomy as water. "Are you really sick, or are you making an excuse to not see me?"
Nicotine replied: "He's really sick. I've checked and the doctor who treated Old Fulin said that Old Fulin was infected with black spots. He won't live for long …"
The killing intent in Dean's eyes dissipated a lot. He nodded and said: "You are indeed guilty."
Nicotine's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly knelt down, "Please punish me, Young Master!"
"Since you've already done your best, I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself." Dean indifferently said: "I'm asking you. Are the plants still there after the land was sold?"
"Yes." Nicholas busily said: "Mel family doesn't know what those things are for. But looking at such a large area of planting, they think that there is a way. So they didn't destroy them. Instead, they continued to plant them. All the workers I hired at that time stayed."
"That's good." Dean breathed a sigh of relief: "In that case, now you gather people and take back that place."
"Now?" Nicotine was stunned.
