Under the night sky, Henry stood in silence. He glanced over at the people around. Everyone's eyes were filled with terror.
"Everyone," Henry said, "I don't want to hurt you, and you don't need to be afraid of me. It's the people from Sword Valley who want you dead. I have killed their spy. It's Mr. Yang who wanted to make you slaves, and I killed him as well. All I want is to get out of this place in one piece. I believe that we all want the same thing. Although we are on the outside of Thunder Town, there is still no cell signal, which means that we still are not out of danger. There will be a long way to travel before we could finally reach a safe place. I think the only way for us to get to somewhere safe is to help each other. Do you all agree with me?"
Finished his speech, Henry smiled, baring his teeth. The smile didn't manage to calm people. Instead, everyone was frightened. After all, they all witnessed how Henry brutally killed Mr. Yang.
Reyni took a deep breath. He spoke, "So this was what just happened. Mr. Yang and the woman from Sword Valley started to fight, and we all ran off. No one knew what happened next. Does it sound about right?"
Henry looked at Reyni with thanks and compliment.
"That's right!" Reyni's people got his meaning and echoed.
"That's right."
"Mr. Yang and Sword Valley's people fought each other fiercely. And no one knows how the fight went down."
"Since that's the case," Reyni said loudly, "Let's get a move on."
Reyni took the lead and walked forward. Everyone followed him, and Henry mingled among the crowd. Reyni led hundreds of people to walk to a safe place. Henry blended in perfectly.
Under the night sky, a long team of people was walking on the beaten track. Thunder Town was surrounded by mountains, and the only road out of there was the main street that was too dangerous to travel. So they chose the mountain road for it was safer. Although the travel would be extremely harsh, no one complained. Since no matter how hard the travel would be, it would be so much better than living in fear in the sewer.
The further they walked away from Thunder Town, the more relieved everyone was.
Just when everyone thought that they were out of danger, a voice was heard.
"You visit my Mount. Lou in the middle of the night. Are you trying to break my rules?"
The voice was out of nowhere. Everyone was startled.
Henry focused to hear the voice. He murmured, "He is at least a Divine Realm master but could very possibly be a Spirit-controlling master!"
Absalon, who was next to Henry, trembled and asked in disbelief, "Your honor, you are... saying... it's a Supremacy Master?"
"I can't say for sure just now," Henry looked toward the source of the voice, pretending to be panicked.
In the moonlight, two people were standing at the top of the mountain.
"Gentlemen," Reyni gave a fist & palm salute. He said, raising his voice, "We are just passing, and we don't intend to offend you."
"You don't intend to offend us?" One of the people snorted coldly. Suddenly, a Qi propelled gale blew.
Reyni was anxious because only extremely powerful people could propel gale with Qi.
"I don't care if you are intentionally or not. You have offended us. If you want to pass through, I think you ought to pay us a toll," the person said. At the same time, a shadow was rising behind
him.
"Supremacy Master!"
The people who just got out of the sewer widened their eyes!
The shadow was the True Spirit, which was the symbol of Supremacy Master!
