Chapter 327

Fabian felt his stomach flip.

He knotted his eyebrows together as he said, “I don’t eat this stuff… Take it away…”

The fox seemed to sense that Fabian was upset.

It backed away in disappointment.

After hiding the food under a pile of straw, the fox walked back toward the tiger with its head hanging low. It curled up next to it.

Fabian could not be bothered to pay the animals any more attention.

He closed his eyes, hoping to get some rest.

Then, a deep growl rang out.

That sound did not come from the tiger.

Fabian immediately opened his eyes.

He was met with the sight of a six-foot-tall brown bear standing at the cave’s entrance.

“Damn it…”

Fabian grabbed a branch and used it as a torch to stare at the brown bear cautiously.

A chill ran across his body.

Outside Falling Sunset Mountain, the roaring sounds of a helicopter’s propellers could be heard. Nash had borrowed the vehicle from Olivia.

The Falling Sunset Mountain connected Sagen and Jonford. It was considered a national treasure because it also housed numerous endangered species. Loiterers were not allowed on its premises.

Nash had only managed to obtain approval to enter Falling Sunset Mountain after getting Angelica to ask Henderson for a favor.

“If Fabian jumped out from the plane in the middle of his journey, that must mean the crew was problematic!”

Melody frowned as she began deducing why Fabian had jumped out of the plane.

“It might’ve been for safety reasons. Airports are a chaotic place. It would’ve been a perfect place for the killers to hide in plain sight!” Finn said as he smiled.

“What would you do if you had to attack an individual who’s accompanied by at least five stage -nine great-grandmasters?” Melody asked, a half-smile on her face.

“I’d get at least ten stage-nine great-grandmasters to wait for him at the airport!” “Universal Group has 18 different branches in Drakonia, and they’ve sent cars to all of the airports. How would you know for sure which airport Fabian would land at?”

“In that case, I’d split my men into 18 groups and dispatch them to each of the airports!”

An awkward expression appeared on Finn’s face when he finished that sentence.

If that were the case, only having ten stage-nine great-grandmasters simply would not be enough.

They would have to rely on luck to be on their side if they wanted to meet Fabian. However, even if they did run into him, they had no way of dealing with his bodyguards.

Now, he finally understood what Fabian was trying to do.

He was an intelligent man.

“Well, it doesn’t necessarily have to be the crew that was problematic. Who knows? Perhaps it was because of the bodyguards.”

Finn was trying to prove his intelligence to Nash.

Melody was smarter, richer, and better-looking than he was. If there was nothing that he had the upper hand in, Nash would look down on him.

“Fabian’s bodyguards are all part of Universal Foundation and were trained by Fabian’s father. They’re equivalent to the Ten Families’ Kamikazes, given how loyal they are!”

“Better safe than sorry,” Finn countered, pursing his lips.

Melody pursed her red lips together but did not say anything.

What Finn said made sense as well.

The Young family had been a long-established family, where every member of the family was the brightest of their age. In the end, the family ended up falling into destruction because they had trusted the wrong people.

Thirty minutes later, the helicopter landed where Fabian’s last location had been traced.

The trio stood at the edge of the cliff, frowning.

Finn smacked his lips together and asked, “Do you think Fabian fell off the cliff?”

Melody said with worry, “It’s possible!”

Nash looked around him, and then pointed at the marks left behind by the branches, “We can replace him if we follow the signs!”

His only worry was that Fabian would end up becoming some wild beast’s dinner.

It did not take the three long before they were surrounded by wolves.

An intent look appeared in Nash’s eyes as a terrifying, murderous aura filled their surroundings.

The wolves escaped with their tails between their legs.

Inside the cave, the fox curled up in Fabian’s arms, unable to rest in ease as they listened to the sounds of the tiger and bear fighting outside the cave.

Soon, the sounds gradually subsided. Fabian gulped and walked toward the cave’s entrance, torch in hand.

The bear had disappeared, and the injured tiger was lying in a pool of blood.

Whimpers escaped the fox’s throat, and tears flowed from its brilliant blue eyes.

It jumped down from Fabian’s arms and ran to the tiger, where it began licking its wounds.

“Fabian…”
