Chapter 69 The Appearance Of Gabriel

 

“Master Yarrow was already dead before I went in. He was doused with gasoline,” Jonathan informed.

 

Amber gasped in horror. “Clearly, someone is trying to set us up. Our main goal this time is to speak to him to report on Felicia’s affairs and apprehend Gabriel. What do we do now that he’s dead?”

Jonathan could feel nothing but blind terror. It was a fear of the Heavenly Law and cultivation techniques. “We didn’t tell anyone that we were coming here and kept our whereabouts a secret. Despite Gabriel being thousands of miles away, he managed to figure it all out. He found the right timing to kill the founder and shifted the blame to us. He is a man of great power.”

Amber immediately realized the terrifying part of this issue upon hearing his words.

 

A thought suddenly occurred to her. “But what if Gabriel never thought about the possibility that you would start a fire? We didn’t even think about starting a fire at first.”

 

“Back in the forest, those venomous snakes could’ve guided us straight to the hut, but they intentionally used a zigzagged route. This is a strategy to allow us to discover that something’s amiss so that we’ll become vigilant and wary of the hut, then later burn it according to his plan. Besides, even if we didn’t do it, he would have burned the place down himself.”

“What do we do now?” Amber was deeply troubled. Although she was clever, she had always felt that her brain was slow to react whenever she was with him.

 

“If we go to the Crimson Onyx Sect again, we’ll definitely be dead. The best solution is to leave this place immediately, and we’ll leave it to you to mobilize the armed police force of Ackleton to arrest Gabriel. When the time comes, we’ll be defenders of justice. No one will associate the founder’s death with us.”

Amber’s eyes lit up, but they dimmed down shortly after. “Previously, you told me not to bring the squad along, as you were afraid of alerting the enemy. Aren’t you afraid of that now?”

“The situation has changed now. Before this, we still had a reason for doing it, as Gabriel was our only foe. But now that Master Yarrow is gone, we’re the enemies of the entire Crimson Onyx Sect. It’s impossible to catch Gabriel with just the two of us. So at this time, we’ll rely on the police squad. Even if we can’t catch him, we can report his evil doings to the Sect so that he won’t be able to remain there any longer. Once he’s out of the sect, we’ll find a way to catch him. It’ll be simpler this way.”

 

Amber wholeheartedly agreed with the plan after hearing Jonathan’s explanation. “Let’s not waste any more time and leave this place, then.”

“We can no longer leave through the forest,” Jonathan said pessimistically. “Now that Gabriel has achieved his goal, he will definitely get the snakes to bite us to death. Since we’re surrounded by mountains, we can only get out by passing through them. However, this will be a long journey as we’re very near Manchernius. If we’re unlucky, we may end up in a foreign country. There’s a war going on there, and it isn’t safe because of the extreme chaos.” He paused for a moment before continuing, “One more thing. Members of the Crimson Onyx Sect are experts in divination, and they may have figured out where we’re hiding. So I’m afraid that leaving this place won’t be easy!”

Amber chuckled bitterly. “It sounds like there’s no way we can get out unscathed!”

“Crimson Onyx Sect is proficient in Destino Art, so it’s not easy to survive after being captured by them in the first place.”

“But we can’t just sit here and wait to be killed, can we?”

Jonathan swept his gaze around the area surrounded by mountains in the dark before responding, “In this small town, there are certainly no large planes entering and leaving. Most of those planes should be helicopters. Let’s hurry up and steal one so that we can leave this place.”

Amber was shocked. “You know how to fly a helicopter?”

Jonathan rubbed his nose. “It’s easier than driving a car, so why shouldn’t I know how to fly one? I’ve even flown a fighter jet before.”
