Chapter 1061: Chapter 1061: Something Terrible Is Happening
"Valley Master!"
Watching the retreating figure of the Night Fairy, an elder of Ghost Valley spoke up to ask, "Should we pursue her?"
"This person moves unpredictably and seems to have the aura of a Grandmaster. If you go, you might not be able to defeat her."
Eleanor Pendleton glanced at Quella Radcliffe, who had been placed in the car, "Take this woman with you and head towards Ghost Valley. Move slowly. After I finish killing, I’ll catch up directly."
"As you command!"
The elder gripped his knife and nodded at Eleanor Pendleton.
"Take that woman with you and follow me!"
After speaking, he waved his arm.
The cavalry immediately surrounded them, placing Quella Radcliffe on a horse and quickly departed.
On the road, a sedan car was left behind.
Inside, a driver sat with eyes wide open, devoid of any sign of life.
Eleanor Pendleton rode his fiery horse at a breakneck pace, in relentless pursuit!
The horses of Ghost Valley were all warhorses!
One in ten thousand!
Their speed was incredibly fast, even faster than a sedan car.
In less than a minute, Eleanor Pendleton spotted the shadow that had just disappeared.
Ultimately, the Night Fairy was running on foot and couldn’t shake Pendleton off.
"Lad, you think you can run?"
Eleanor Pendleton sneered coldly, his hand gripping a long knife as he spurred his horse on!
Whoosh!
With a slash of his knife!
The Night Fairy leaned forward, avoiding the attack in an extremely awkward and troubled manner.
Luckily, there were woods on both sides of the road.
Using the momentum, she rolled forward, continuing to flee for her life!
Eleanor Pendleton turned the horse’s head around, playing with his prey like a cat with a mouse, taunting incessantly.
"Run! Let’s see where you can go!"
He wasn’t in a hurry to leave but wanted to tire out the Grandmaster before him, like walking a dog until it was exhausted!
Fun!
This was fun.
Grandmasters were not plentiful, and since he had encountered one, he couldn’t just kill her easily.
The warhorse thundered on, reaching the Night Fairy’s rear for the second time!
"Yu..."
Eleanor Pendleton brought his warhorse to a halt!
The man leaned back, reclining on the horse’s back!
Whoosh!
Three darts flew through the air, just missing Pendleton’s chest and embedding in a tree trunk.
"Playing dirty with me?"
He got off the horse and slashed with his knife!
Crack!
The Night Fairy swiftly dropped to the ground, the long knife cutting down the tree behind her!
A tree trunk one meter thick, was as easy as slicing fruits and vegetables in front of Eleanor Pendleton!
Very simple.
"We have no grudges against each other, why must you make things difficult for me?"
The Night Fairy raised her hands, her expression serious, "We are both Grandmasters; need we go to such lengths?"
Raising her hands meant surrendering.
For a Grandmaster, this was nothing short of a profound humiliation.
But she didn’t care.
Thousand Faces Man/Spirit!
A thousand faces for a thousand people, should she care about her own face?
"Who would have thought you’d be such a lovely woman," said Eleanor Pendleton, slightly surprised when he got a clear look at the Night Fairy’s face. "So young, and already a Grandmaster?"
He had assumed the other was a man, but never expected to meet a mature woman.
The Night Fairy, transformed into the likeness of Itai Huntington and imitating her seductive manners, was seldom resisted by men.
"Yes."
Seeing that the master of Ghost Valley had let down his guard somewhat, the Night Fairy knelt on both knees, "Please grant this young woman a chance to live."
Devotion!
She prayed very devoutly.
"Heh heh, you’re not bad, little lady. It’d be a pity if I killed you," Eleanor Pendleton squinted his eyes, leaning down and saying, "Why not come back to Ghost Valley with me? Become my legitimate wife? If you follow me, from now on you’ll enjoy endless wealth and honor! If we have a child and it’s a boy, he will inherit Ghost Valley directly!"
He liked such a seductive woman very much.
Men, they can’t resist this kind of temptation.
Furthermore, her status as a Grandmaster had somewhat moved Pendleton.
After all, he had never been with a female Grandmaster!
The women he met were either old ladies or ill-tempered old hags!
And today, he had stumbled upon an incredibly beautiful woman?
An enormous stroke of luck.
"What do you say, willing?"
Eleanor Pendleton held a long knife in one hand and plucked a flower with the other in Baron Grey’s domain.
"Choose one."
"Does it have to be this way?"
Night Fairy looked up at him with a pitiful expression, "Is there any chance you could let me live?"
The flower and the knife symbolized submission and death.
"Impossible!"
Eleanor Pendleton crouched down and scrutinized Night Fairy closely.
The more he looked, the more tempted he became.
"Come with me."
"Fine."
Night Fairy bit her lip hard, her eyes filled with reluctance.
"Haha! Let’s go!"
Eleanor Pendleton burst into a carefree laugh!
But just as he was about to reach out, a cold glint flew by!
Thud!
The dagger in Night Fairy’s hand flew out and stuck in Eleanor Pendleton’s shoulder!
"You’re asking for death!"
Whoosh!
Eleanor Pendleton swung his long knife, emanating a murderous aura!
Fooled, he was infuriated to the extreme!
Night Fairy put her hands together and slammed into the side of the long knife, attempting to shake the weapon off.
But the next moment!
Bang!
Eleanor Pendleton punched her shoulder hard!
A wave of severe pain came over her, and Night Fairy was sent flying back several meters.
Seizing the gap, she ran wildly, tumbling down the small hillside.
"Hiss..."
Eleanor Pendleton was about to pursue her, but then pain shot through his shoulder.
He slowly pulled out the dagger and took a sniff.
"Poisoned... Damn woman, I will deal with you sooner or later!"
Clang!
Eleanor Pendleton threw the dagger away and mounted his horse.
The poisoning wasn’t too deep, he needed to find the main forces of Ghost Valley to safely detoxify.
Otherwise, if that woman attacked again, wouldn’t it be dangerous?
...
"Master!"
In Gonzalez City, on the rooftop of the Titan Group building.
As a helicopter slowly landed, Cosmo ran towards it excitedly.
"Why aren’t you staying at home, what are you doing here?"
Julius Reed and Aron Jackson stepped off the plane and were surprised to see Cosmo.
"Master! We couldn’t get in touch with you, Madam was very worried, so she sent me out to look for you."
Cosmo took a careful look at Julius Reed and asked with concern, "Are you all right?"
"I’m fine."
Julius Reed took out his phone and said, "Call direct to..."
But when he saw the phone damaged by the bomb blast, he had to swallow the words he was about to say.
"How did you know I was here?"
Handing the broken phone to Aron Jackson, Julius Reed asked Cosmo.
They were originally planning to walk back to Gonzalez City.
By that time, the phone was already damaged and couldn’t make or receive calls.
Fortunately, Miguel Abbott sent a helicopter flying along the provincial highway to track them down.
It just so happened to spot the two helpless figures below.
"I called Miguel Abbott, and he said you were on a helicopter and might arrive soon."
Cosmo took out his phone and immediately called Quella Radcliffe, hoping to reassure his master’s wife.
But on the other end, no one answered the call.
"What’s going on?"
Julius Reed took the phone, his eyebrows knitting tightly together.
No one was answering.
"It was Lillian Tompson who asked me to come out," Cosmo said, also feeling a bit anxious when Quella Radcliffe didn’t pick up.
"Don’t panic!"
Julius Reed dialed Lillian Tompson’s number using Cosmo’s phone, but it was also unreachable.
"Let’s go back!"
Realizing that something was amiss, he handed the phone back to Cosmo and immediately instructed Aron Jackson, "Check! Arrange for someone to investigate immediately; Quella Radcliffe must not be at the villa!"
After speaking, Julius Reed took the elevator straight to the first floor!
He jumped into the sedan driven by Cosmo and dashed home frenziedly!
