Chapter 4826
As he spoke, Dax leaned forward to press his face against Goddad’s.
"Aargh!"
The kid could hardly handle Dax's face full of stubble as he cried out in indignation. "Your
beard's pricking me, Uncle Dax! Put me down, put me down!"
Haha!
Everyone burst out laughing.
Chester cast a glance at a still-unconscious Shannon, frowning slightly. 1
The next second, Chester asked Ambrose, "What's going on, Ambrose? Weren’t you
supposed to go and check on the situation with the pirates? How'd you end up with
Shannon?" 4
As the words rang through the air, everyone's gaze fell onto Ambrose.
Ambrose took a deep breath, flashing a bitter smile. "The South Cloud Royals had just
failed at trying to take down the palace when I got to the fishing village. Shannon had
barely gotten out of it all alive as well..." 1
Ambrose spent the next few minutes describing everything that had happened in detail.
Toward the end, Ambrose said regretfully, "I thought that everything would be fine after
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwe sent her back to the South Cloud Royal City. I never would have expected Zack to be so
cunning, fooling everyone with his lies by saying that the Empress had died in the ocean
and that the one we had brought with us was a fake from the Carters..." 1
Whew!
At the words, the crowd could hardly believe their shock and anger.
Dax, in particular, clenched his fists and said menacingly, "Motherf*cker, this bastard's got
it in for him. I'll make him pay the next time I see him."
Everyone else around nodded in agreement.
"That's right, we've never gotten the short end of the stick without turning things around
somehow in the end before!" "We can't just let this be." "Right..."
Chester simply smiled at the outrage. "Alright, let's talk about something else."
As he spoke, a thought seemed to come to Chester as he stared at Ambrose. "The South
Cloud Royals are a strong force, and they're led by Shannon herself. How could a troop of
hundreds of thousands of men not be able to take on even a gang of pirates?" 2
Chester was very much confused then.
It was important to know that Shannon was definitely a force to be reckoned with. She had
captured the ten elites of the New World sects with just a few hundred people back then,
making her the most powerful female warrior in the South Cloud Continent. After
becoming the Empress, her powers only grew stronger by the day. 2
Despite the circumstances, she had set out to take down a measly gang of pirates and
failed to do so.
It was truly mind-boggling.
Just then, Ambrose smiled bitterly as his expression grew solemn. "Uncle Chester! There's
something you dont know. These aren't your usual pirates. The head pirate is Morticia, one
of the twelve Fiend Martyrs. It was her who had struck Shannon to the bottom of the
ocean then." 1
What?
Everyone, including Chester and Dax, had the shock of their lives.
When Darryl returned, did he not take down the Fiend race thoroughly? Why was one of
the Fiend Martyrs still alive?
All at once, everyone fell silent as the air grew thick with tension.
Whew...
A few minutes later, Chester took a deep breath as he spoke in a serious tone. "This is no
small matter. First, let's return to the Hidden Hero Sect, restore our energy, and plan from
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthere." "Alright!"
The others nodded in agreement before heading in the direction of the Hidden Hero Sect
at top speed with Shannon in tow. i
Back when the Godly Region soldiers had launched their attack on the teleportation
gateway and sent Darryl through it, all Darryl could see was endless darkness as his body
kept falling and falling...
It was unclear how long had passed before Darryl finally landed on the ground.
Haha!
Darryl was nothing but excited. He thought he would have had to fight the Godly Region
soldiers, only to accidentally land down the teleportation gateway.
It would have sent him back to the Nine Continents.
His heart brimmed with emotion. Darryl slowly opened his eyes, and he stopped short at
the sight that greeted him.
All that could be seen around him was a small mountain with nothing but lush slopes of
greenery in the distance and a small stream cutting through the middle. Next to the river
was a town, quaint and rustic.
Darryl's mood soured instantly. Aside from the New World, the Great East, and the Middle
Terra being modern civilizations, the rest were all in ancient times.
It seemed that he had not returned to the New World, but to another continent instead.
