Ms. Cat shook her head and said, "Skyler won't go. He met Kristopher by chance and is

now working for him."

Gerald nodded. "Got it. I'll follow you to Underground Palace. When it's opened, I won't 1 take anything from it. I hope you can fulfill your promise and let us go too."

"I will! Gerald, I don't have many friends. You're one of them! I hope you can trust me!"

said Ms. Cat.

If what she said is true, then she is trustworthy!

However, Gerald was extra cautious after what happened before.

After all, she and Skyler were not his people.

They all had what they needed. They might be friends at times, but once they had gotten

enough benefits, they could easily betray him without hesitation.

Gerald, had drawn a death mark for Skyler in his mind.

As a Watchman, what he hated most was betrayal.

The room fell into a moment of silence. After Ms. Cat finished talking to Gerald, the middle-aged man returned. He sat on the couch, closed his eyes, and said nothing. Gerald knew that he couldn't escape for the time being. He sat with the three of them.

and inadvertently typed some Night Watch code words with his hands.

Their plan was somewhat secretive. It seemed that Ms. Cat and Kristopher did not

notice anything at all.

This was one of the advantages of the Night Watch code word.

Even though Gerald and the others could not speak, they could still communicate as

long as their hands were not restricted.

Of course, there was no way to make a big deal out of it.

They talked about how to leave.

Indeed, they wanted to escape.

Even though Kristopher was powerful enough to terrify Gerald, Gerald never gave up on

escaping.

Gerald believed most of Ms. Cat's words, but he did not trust Kristopher.

He wasn't sure if the other party would really let him leave if he and Carolyn opened the Underground Palace. He didn't trust Kristopher.

Dragon Bone and Phoenix Bone were too big of a deal. They might kill him if he couldn't

be of use to them anymore.

Gerald did not want to gamble, and he did not want his fate to be in someone else's

hands.

He still had a chance to leave by using the Archaic Tribe's Silver Wings.

One of Gerald's plans was to use the Silver Wings to fly away.

Of course, he was not planning to do it at this time. Silver Wings couldn't be used to its

maximum potential in Ries City.

When night came, Gerald would rush to the Underground Palace and go into the

wilderness to replace a way to deal with it.

Time flew by, and it was already nighttime.

The dinner was arranged by someone, but Gerald and the others didn't eat it. He was worried that they would put something in the food. Even though Ms. Cat took the initiative to try it first and told Gerald it was safe, he still didn't eat it.

Kristopher did not pay much attention to her. He finished his meal and stood up. "Let's

go!"

Then, the three of them walked out of the house and drove toward Ries City in two hover

cars.

After leaving the city, they abandoned their cars in the wild. Together with Ms. Cat, Gerald, and the others, there were a total of 28 people. They abandoned their cars and

headed toward the wilderness.

Just as they were leaving, a voice came from inside Sheryl's earphones in the hotel where the Eight Forces were. "Kristopher has left the city. There are three more people in the crowd, and they are three new faces."

Sheryl's expression changed slightly, and a puzzled look appeared on her pretty face. She asked, "Are you sure it's three people? Are they the owners of Dragon Bone and

Phoenix Bone?"

"Those three... They look a bit like the three servants of Anabel Pierce. Kristopher went out today and seemed to have brought them back. But they didn't go to the Underground Palace, so I didn't report it to you. And just now, from their direction, it seems their target is in the direction of the Underground Palace. They should have been kidnapped as well."

"Are you sure it's Gerald and the others?" Sheryl asked with a deep frown.

"If I'm not mistaken, it must be them. Should I follow them?" A voice continued sounding

from the phone.

"It's okay for you to keep an eye on or follow them in the city. After all, there are a lot of people. But if you follow them in the wild, it's too easy to be discovered. The other party is Kristopher!" Sheryl continued, "Since they went in the direction of the Underground Palace, you don't have to follow them. Wait for us on the spot. We're ready to set off

anyway."

With that, she quickly put on her clothes, stood up, and dialed Anabel's phone. "Hello!"

"What is it?" Anabel's voice sounded.

"Kristopher has left Ries City. Gerald, Carolyn, and Valery seem to be held hostage by them." Sheryl frowned and continued, "What's going on? Or did the Archaic Tribe secretly cooperate with Kristopher?"

"Gerald and the others are being held hostage?" Anabel's voice suddenly changed.

"That's how my spy reported it to me," said Sheryl.

"Inform Matt. I'm afraid we have to leave immediately," Anabel said.

Sheryl frowned. "Are you hiding something from us? Why didn't Kristopher take action before? However, after taking Gerald and the others hostage, he left Ries City and headed to Underground Palace. Could it be that the keys to open the core area are not

Dragon Bone and Phoenix Bone, but something else?"

Even so, she didn't think that Gerald and Carolyn had any connection with the Phoenix

Bone and Dragon Bone.

After all, it was too incredible.

"Let's go first!" Anabel didn't explain anything!

They all stared at Kristopher. The Eight Forces knew who Kristopher and Ms. Cat were. They were the ones that knew the most about the tomb of Geza the Great in this world.

If they made a move, the Underground Palace would probably be opened. It was not only

Sheryl who was keeping an eye on Kristopher.

Gerald and the others followed Kristopher into the wilderness and headed toward the Underground Palace. People came out of Ries City one after another, and they all headed toward the Underground Palace.

In Ries City, besides the Eight Forces, there were way too many people gathered there.

This tomb had too many treasures, and the core area was even more exciting. As long as they could get a piece of the pie, many people would be benefited for the rest of their

lives.

When Kristopher set off, everyone in Ries City started to move as well.

Countless masters entered the wild that night, and the Purple Elite Ghosts also began to

move toward the wild.

When it came to the core area of Underground Palace, anyone below the Purple Pioneer

was not even qualified to participate.

The atmosphere in Ries City felt like the calm before the storm.

Meanwhile, Gerald and the others were moving forward rapidly in the wild.

"There's a tail!" At this time, a man ran to Kristopher and said.

Kristopher nodded faintly. "There are not just one or two people staring at us. If we make a move, they will naturally follow us. However, there's nothing to be afraid of. As long as the core area of the Underground Palace is open, they will die if they dare to take a step!"

It was already late at night. Underground Palace was deep in the mountains, and it was

not close. Along the way, they met a lot of Treasure Hunters. However, when they saw Gerald and the others, they all ran away as if they had seen ghosts.

All twenty-seven of them exuded an aura that was above Flame Decayer, which was too

terrifying.

Gerald had been looking for a chance to leave, but it was too difficult.

Kristopher had been standing beside him. Apart from Kristopher, several Supreme Flame

Decayers were also very close to him. He had no chance at all.

Gerald did not give a signal while Carolyn and Valery waited patiently.

Suddenly, Kristopher sat down with a frown and said to the people beside him, "Get rid of

those tails."

"Okay!" In an instant, a dozen people left.

Kristopher sat down, took out a bottle of water, and took a sip. Then, he looked at Gerald and said expressionlessly, "I know you want to escape, but if you give it a try, the agreement between us will be void. I will kill you once the Underground Palace is open."
