Currently, the way to get the most out of the situation was for Dominik to get Matthew and Veronica out of the clan. Hence, it was a win for him.
"Ha! You're so confident in yourself."
Xavier sneered.
It took around ten minutes or more for the Jeep to arrive at the Tempest Bridge of the Desolate Cliffs. At the other end of the bridge, there was a car with two people standing next to it.
Matthew honked the horn before stopping the car and getting out to greet them.
Then, the two cars continued onward with the other car in the front while Matthew and Xavier followed behind.
"We will be more isolated the further we go on. Be careful," Xavier uneasily reminded.
"We're already past the point of no return."
Matthew sighed.
They drove for over 30 minutes before the Jeep arrived at the bottom of Emerald Mountain.
The two men got out of the car and walked over to Noah.
Noah was a burly man with tanned skin, dressed entirely in brown with a black headwrap. Hanging off his earlobes were two large hoops made of bronze.
He pointed at the Emerald Mountain. "It's best to park the cars here. There are surveillance cameras up ahead. We'll be discovered if we drive in."
"Lead the way," Matthew said in a very polite manner.
Noah and his companion led the way up into the mountain through a rather unused dirt path while Matthew and Xavier followed behind.
They spent a long time going up the mountain, but they never once went down.
Finally, Xavier lost his temper and burst out at Matthew, "Just where are they taking us?"
As he did not understand a word of the hidden tongue, his only way of communicating with the other duo was through Matthew.
"They told us just now. There are guards at the main entrance. It was safer to go through a secret path on top of the mountain that led down to the basement."
