Chapter 874

They downed their drinks after clinking glasses.

Duncan put his glass down and turned to look at Mireille, who was

sitting beside him, looking like a walking corpse. His heart ached for

her as he asked, “Mireille, do you want to get some rest?”

Mireille said woodenly, “Anything you say!”

Duncan picked Mireille up and took her over to an air mattress set up

nearby.

Then, the head of the Duncan family’s security walked over and said, ”

Mr. Swordsman, a crew of oddly dressed people want to see you!”

Iv as

“Did they state where they’re from?” the Swordsman asked flatly

he gazed at the head of security.

“Black Wind Mountains!” the head of security answered respectfully.

“The Mountain Master and the rest are here!”

The Swordsman grinned and immediately jumped to his feet to

outside with Boris.

After Duncan pulled a blanket over Mireille, Peter said, “Dun, let’s he out and meet the members from Black Wind Mountains as well!”

The power of the Black Wind Mountains was not something to sleep on, and it might even end up being a place where he took refuge in the

future.

Forging a good relationship with the Black Wind Mountains would not

do him any harm.

Duncan bent down and gave Mireille a quick peck on her cold lips

before he straightened up and headed out with Peter.

After the tent flap lowered again, Mireille blinked. A brief hint of clarity

returned to her eyes.

She massaged her stiff face and got up to gaze at the white-colored package hanging from the tent’s walls.

The ghoul overlord stood beside it.

Mireille gulped. Her heart began racing.

She knew she would die if she failed her mission.

Perhaps Duncan might not be able to control that.

Besides…

Everyone outside now was part of Duncan’s men. Even if she got her hands on the scepter, she still would not be able to escape from the watch of the over one hundred elite bodyguards.

The look in Mireille’s eyes slowly turned glazed as she continu staring. If she did not blink, her pupils would turn pitch-black.

She struggled to her feet and slowly made her way out of the ter

The head of security immediately walked over and asked, “Is t anything you need, Ms. Tanner?”

Mireille said woodenly, “Toilet…”

The head of security snapped his fingers. Immediately, two women

wearing black-colored leather jackets and frosty expressions on their

faces walked over.

They each had a dagger strapped to their waist.

The head of security said cooly, “Make sure Ms. Tanner is protected. I’m sure you know what will happen if she is even slightly injured!”

There was a double meaning to his words.

He was asking them to protect her while simultaneously keeping an

eye on her.

If Mireille were to escape or become injured, they would be fed to the ghoul overlord.

The two beautiful ladies nodded, solemn expressions on their faces.

Then, they led Mireille to a single tent they had erected some distance.

way that served as a toilet.

away

Despair washed over Mireille as she gazed at her two impassive

bodyguards.

After she entered the toilet, she peeked through the tent’s flaps a

noticed there was a woman stationed both at the front and back

the tent.

It was obvious the back entrance was blocked as well.

As expected of Duncan’s subordinates. They were meticulous.

Mireille sighed inwardly. Looks like she had to continue waiting for a

chance.

Meanwhile…

Chupter 821

Duncan and the others were exchanging greetings with the guests.

from the Black Wind Mountains.

A total of six people from the Black Wind Mountains had arrived.

Two had achieved the late Mystique Loyalty Realm, two had achieved

the mid-Mystique Loyalty Realm, and the remaining two had achieved

the peak Mystique Loyalty Realm.

They were led by two individuals. One was a man, while the other was

a woman.

The man had tanned skin and was dressed in black-colored clothing..

He had a gentle, kind smile on his face.

The woman had pale skin and was wearing white-colored clothing. The expression on her face was as frosty as the fallen snow.

Both seemed to be in their thirties, and they were ordinary -looking. However, the contrast between their fair and dark skin was so obvious that it might cause onlookers to take a second look at them.

The Black Wind Double Kill, also known as the Black-and-white t had both achieved the late Mystique Loyalty realm.

Rumor in the world of martial arts was that the two had once

collaborated to assassinate an expert who had achieved the

Profound Oriental Realm.

“Greetings, esteemed Mountain Lords!”

The Swordsman bowed to them respectfully.

Boris did the same, bowing to them in greeting as well.

Peter was shocked to his very core.
