Chapter 535 What Are You Waiting For?
Chapter 535 What Are You Waiting For?
It was obvious that not only Lachlan, but Kamryn and Simeon as well, sensed something was off.
If the Cobra Syndicate had already surrendered and handed over everything they had, why bother fighting against the Fiercetalon Armed Syndicate and even the Deity's Tears organization they hired?
The Deputy Governor sighed. "I know something doesn't feel right either, but Hydra said that the Fiercetalon killed many of their brothers in arms, so they want revenge. Plus, there are some skilled members in the Cobra Syndicate that we have to rely on since our forces are limited. The Fiercetalon and Deity's Tears have attacked before; if it weren't for them, we might not have been able to defend this site."
After hearing these words, Kamryn nodded indifferently and said, "Indeed, you had no choice but to ask for their assistance in defense before. But now, it's unnecessary. Gather the leader and key members of the Cobra Syndicate and hold a meeting with them. I want to see what they're up to."
"Yes!" Deputy Governor Elijah responded in obedience.
While Elijah went to gather the members of the Cobra Syndicate, the others arrived at the entrance of the Enigma Ruins.
Phoebe, who had been waiting outside, also joined them at this time.
The Goldheart Moon District was mostly mountainous, with one rocky mountain after another. The entrance to the Enigma Ruins was located inside a cave.
An ethereal light curtain enveloped the entrance, and standing in front of it, one could vaguely sense the presence of another space inside.
But when one tried to enter, there seemed to be an energy barrier blocking the way.
"This is the entrance! We don't know what's inside," a vice officer who accompanied Lachlan and the others said solemnly.
Looking at the misty light curtain entrance, Lachlan narrowed his eyes slightly and couldn't sense anything inside for a moment.
At this moment, Phoebe's expression turned astonished as she spoke, "The entrance to the Enigma Ruins is somewhat similar to the entrance of Hudpids Sect's Sacred Medicine Valley." Hearing this, Lachlan silently nodded.
In his mind, he recalled that during the personal trial in the Clan Grand Competition, the entrance to the Sacred Medicine Valley also existed in the form of such a light curtain. These places seemed to be self- contained spaces, created by some powerful beings in the past.
"We can't go in now? I wonder when we can explore it!" Kamryn reached out his hand toward the light curtain but was blocked by a force. He spoke with anticipation.
The vice officer beside him answered, "Mr. Hernandez, the entrance to this ruin may open soon. We have all tried to enter, but we were all blocked by a force. However, we can feel that this force seems to be weakening day by day!"
At this point, a self-deprecating smile appeared on the vice officer's face as he continued, "When we first came here, I was thrown back when I tried to enter, hehe..."
Upon hearing this, both Kamryn and Lachlan, as well as Phoebe, couldn't help but flicker with a glint in their eyes.
Oh? The power of the entrance barrier weakens day by day?
After a while, inside a tent in the temporary camp built around the Enigma Ruins.
Lachlan and Kamryn, accompanied by Deputy Governor Elijah and others, met with the leader and core members of the Cobra Syndicate.
The leader of the Cobra Syndicate was called Hydra, but that was just his nickname. His real name was Colt Willis.
He appeared to be in his forties, exuding a lazy yet cunning aura.
Upon learning this, a cold light flashed in the depths of Lachlan's eyes.
Colt? Willis?
Heh...
It seemed that the intelligence provided by Summer was correct. This Cobra Syndicate should be the force supported by the hidden Willis family. They established a private armed group in the Goldheart Moon District, engaging in the production and trafficking of drugs. en.s.net
"Deputy Governor, are these two the new commanders?" Colt, who was waiting inside the tent, stood up when Kamryn and Lachlan were brought in by Deputy Governor Elijah. He asked with a smile on his face.
"Indeed! This person is..." Elijah nodded and was about to introduce Lachlan and the others.
However, Kamryn interrupted him at this moment. The youngest handsome figure in the history of Priocia waved his hand dismissively and said, "There's no need to introduce me to them!"
Pointing towards the chairs inside the tent, Kamryn's expressionless face addressed Colt and the others, saying, "Everyone, have a seat! You can call me Kamryn. Just know that е from now on, I am the highest authority here. Now, I have some questions for you, and you must answer truthfully. Otherwise, you'll bear the consequences!" en.s.net
As Kamryn spoke, his gaze suddenly became sharp, sweeping over Colt and the others like two sharp swords.
Lachlan raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but feel that Kamryn's way of doing things suited his taste.
Colt and his subordinates, on the other hand, couldn't help but furrow their brows as they watched Kamryn.
A hint of gloom flickered deep in their eyes.
Colt furrowed his brow, then forced a smile on his face and said, "Naturally! Kamryn, whatever you want to ask, I will certainly speak the truth and hold nothing back." Kamryn nodded, casually pulled a chair and sat down, asking, "Tell me, why are you still staying here and helping to fight against the Fiercetalon Armed Syndicate?"
Upon hearing this question, Colt paused for a moment, then showed a sorrowful expression and said, "Because there is a deep grudge between the Fiercetalon Armed Syndicate and our Cobra Syndicate. They killed..."
"Enough! I don't want to hear you talk about this! Let me make it clearer, tell me, what is your purpose in delaying time here?" Kamryn's expression carried a hint of coldness as he asked in a chilling tone, "In other words, what are you waiting for?"Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
The expressions of Colt and the seven core members of the Cobra Syndicate present immediately changed.
Besides Colt, these seven core members were all skilled individuals sent by the hidden Willis family, assisting Colt in establishing the Cobra Brigade in the Goldheart Moon District.
"Kamryn, I don't understand what
you're talking about! We're not
waiting for anything. We just want to avenge our brothers who died at the hands of the Fiercetalon! And we genuinely want to help protect this mysterious ruin for our Priocia people! Imagine if it were to fall into their hands, I would never rest even in death!" Colt's face was filled with sorrow and indignation as he spoke with fervor. en.s.net
As his words fell, Kamryn coldly snorted and a dangerous look appeared on his face. "It seems you only respond when faced with force. Is that right? Do I need to use some methods to make you speak the truth?"
