Slumdog Billionaire Husband by Rayden Berg

Chapter 1054 Xavier Callum

“Check out this Seven Repel motorcycle, worth 3,000,000 golorbs!” Kristian exclaimed as he looked at

the vehicle.

“Equipped with two heavy cannons, it’s a guaranteed death for super experts, and even the Half-Step

Flame Decayer would be in danger.”

As a top-tier wealthy second-generation member of the Havotune family, this guy seemed to be just as

knowledgeable about these things as Benson.

Aside from the car, there were about ten people standing there, all armed with weapons. As Gerald and

his companions approached in their vehicle, everyone stood up and turned their attention towards

them. “Supreme Flame Decayer!” Gerald licked his lips.

Yes, among the opposing crowd, there indeed was a supreme Flame Decayer. Beside her, Lucinda

pondered for a moment before saying, “Let’s show some initiative and display our strength.

Out here in the wilderness, in order to avoid trouble and conflict, we need to reveal our muscles as

much as possible.” In fact, this was a contradiction within Gerald’s team. Out in the wild, in order to

avoid trouble, it was necessary to let others know about their strength.

Their squad consisted of seven members in total. Apart from Kristian, all of them were experts at the

supreme level of Flame Decay. Among the six supreme

Flame Decayers, Gerald was even a supreme peak Flame Decayer. Such a combination was equally

eye-catching. “Triston!” Gerald called out to Triston. Triston nodded and willingly released his aura.

Upon sensing the aura of Triston, the supreme Flame Decayer, the expressions in the eyes of the

group of people opposite him changed noticeably.

Then, the expert with the supreme level of Flame Decay from the other side reached out his hand,

stopping Gerald and his companions.

Lucinda stepped on the brakes, and the hover car came to a stop near the solid ground within the

marsh. Gerald gave Triston a meaningful glance.

Triston understood perfectly, after all, he was once a leader of the Watchmen, having carried out

countless missions. He was very skilled in knowing what to say and do when out in the field.

He opened the hover car’s door, cheerfully asking the other person, “Pal, what’s up?” Blocking their

way was a man with a stubbly beard, extremely burly, and his entire face exuded an air of

righteousness.

Of course, Gerald knew that this kind of temperament might also be just an act. That rugged man

looked at Triston and said, “Pal, are you planning to enter the Misty Mound Forest?”

“Um, we need to go to a place, and we have to pass through here to get there,” Triston said with a

smile. “Are you guys robbing this place?”

“What a joke, Pal. We were planning to cross this place too, but last night, there were some strange

movements in the Misty Mound Forest, Weird animal roars could be heard, so crossing the Misty

Mound Forest at this time might be a bit dangerous. That’s why we thought about waiting for some

people to join us before going through,” the burly man explained.

“Strange movement?” Triston asked discreetly, “Did any treasures appear?”

“What treasures could there be in Misty Mound Forest? If there is one, it would probably crawl out of

the swamp and swallow you whole,” the burly man said with a hearty laugh.

“I know who this person is.” At this moment, Lucinda suddenly whispered in the car. “Hmm?” Gerald’s

expression shifted slightly as he asked, “Who?”

“It seems to be Xavier Callum!” Lucinda exclaimed, “He’s quite famous on Promise Island. He’s a

rather experienced supreme Flame Decayer, with his own small force and a secure base. He has

helped many people, so he has a good reputation!”

“Oh?” Gerald looked at the burly man in surprise, wondering if the sense of righteousness he exuded

was genuine. “Come to think of it, I do have a vague impression,” Kristian suddenly said.

“There’s a force in Skylark City called ‘Vertex,’ and this Xavier must be a member of that force, right?”

Lucinda nodded and said, “Indeed, it’s him!”

“If it’s him, he’s indeed quite well-known. He often did good deeds in Skylark City and treated some

slaves very well. He was quite famous within Skylark City. However, for some unknown reason, he left

that force and disappeared. I didn’t expect him to end up on Promise Island,” Kristian said. Outside,

Triston and Xavier chatted about a wide range of topics. After a while, Triston went back to the hover

car and closed the door, saying, “This guy’s name is Xavier Callum. He seems like a decent person,

but since we’re out here in the wilderness, we can’t completely trust them. He mentioned that there was

some unusual activity in the swamp yesterday. He suggested that we wait for some more people and

then go together. What do you all think?”

Gerald shook his head and said, “Let’s decline! It’s better for us to go there alone, and try not to interact

too much with others on this trip.”

“Great!” Triston exclaimed!

He jumped down and exchanged a few words with Xavier. A hint of regret appeared on Xavier’s face,

and then he ran back to the hover car.

Lucinda started the car once again, drove around Xavier and his companions, and continued on her

way into the swamp.

Although there were some strange movements inside, the strength of their small team was quite

formidable, so Gerald and the others didn’t feel there was much to be afraid of.

The car continued on its journey for a while, and Anabel came over to the driver’s seat. She raised an

eyebrow and glanced at Lucinda, who was driving, and asked, “You must have known about the

unusual activity in Misty Mound Forest yesterday. Why didn’t you mention it to us?”

Lucinda was momentarily stunned, then hurriedly said, “After I met up with you guys, I had to deal with

those people, and then I completely forgot. I’m sorry…”

“No worries, just be more careful next time!” Anabel reminded them. She stepped back from the

driver’s seat and sat down next to Gerald, whispering softly, “Keep an eye on this Lucinda; there might

be an issue.”

“Hmm?” Gerald’s expression shifted slightly as he raised his head to look at Lucinda, who was driving,

and then nodded in agreement.

At this moment, next to Gerald, Sylvie was continuously flipping a coin in her hand. Her eyebrows were

slightly furrowed, and she was murmuring something under her breath.

“How’s it going?” Kristian asked. Sylvie shook her head and said, “I’ve divined many times, and the

results were all negative. Crossing this swamp now could be dangerous.” “Are you telling fortunes?”

Gerald asked Sylvie with a puzzled look.

He knew that Sylvie’s attribute-related ability had some connection with divination, and at this moment,

he looked over with great interest. Gerald didn’t really believe in this stuff, but Kristian was absolutely

convinced. He asked earnestly, “Is it true?”

“Ugh, I’ve flipped the coin many times, and it always lands on tails. I suggest… we find a place to rest

for the night and cross this area tomorrow,” Sylvie said, frowning.

“Gerald, let’s set off again after taking a break!” Kristian said, looking at Gerald. Gerald nodded his

head.

At this moment, Kristian said to Lucinda, “Let’s find a place to park on land, and we can rest for the

night before continuing on our journey.”

In Lucinda’s eyes, a fleeting hint of struggle could be seen before she nodded in agreement. She

obediently found a spot within the swamp and parked the hover car there.
