Gerald put away the Dragon Saber, deciding not to participate in cleaning up the battlefield. He looked
at Dante and said, “I’m afraid we won’t be able to keep this a secret. Dante gritted his teeth and said,
“According to Xena, there’s no way to hide it anymore. All I can think of now is… when other people
come looking for us, I’ll just say that the two of them attacked us without giving any reason, so I had to
fight back…”
After saying that, he shook his head again and said, “Damn it, I don’t even believe this excuse myself!
If it really doesn’t work, I’ll just say it was my own order, and it has nothing to do with the Archaic Tribe.
At worst, it’s just me who will die!” “Actually… I do have a pretty good excuse,” Gerald said with a slight
smile.
“Hmm?” Dante looked at Gerald and asked, “What excuse?” “Before this, I was quite curious, why do
you only have one thing to say. Sylvie has only reached the level of peak Half-Step
Flame Decay, and has not broken through to the level of Flame Decay. This is just an excuse that the
Soulreaper Sect has come up with, knowing that Sylvie and I have a good relationship, and they want
to use this as an opportunity to kill me.” Dante’s eyes lit up, and then he asked, “What if… they want to
test Sylvie? What do we do?”
“They want to test us? Ha!” Gerald said disdainfully. “We can just play dirty. With Nether Palace casting
covetous eyes on us from the outside, if the Eight
Forces wants to cause internal conflicts, let them be. We’ll take advantage of the situation, grow quietly,
and seize the opportunity… I don’t need to explain this to you, do I?” Dante was taken aback as he
looked at Gerald. Gerald possessed the arrogance of youth, which was evident from the very beginning
when he fearlessly took on two opponents at once.
Similarly, he seemed to have some cunning strategies up his sleeve. After finishing, he quickly
provided a countermeasure. Although it might not be perfect, at the very least, it was a reliable reason.
Of course, Dante didn’t know if such ́an explanation would be able to deceive others. If it couldn’t, he
had already prepared himself for death! If this matter involves the Archaic Tribe itself, they simply
cannot withstand the onslaught of the Seven Forces!
Gerald didn’t say much more to him. He put away his knife and jumped onto the city wall. Sylvie stood
atop the city wall, her eyes red and swollen. Seeing Gerald approach, she bowed and said, “Thank
you… Thank you!”
“You’re already a Watchman, so you’re one of us now. No need to thank us, Gerald said. “But why…
why are they so determined to kill you?” Sylvie looked at Gerald and let out a long sigh, saying, “Call
Triston and Kristian over, there’s no point in hiding anything now.”
