Quintus led the vanguard squad, swiftly tracking the target’s movements as they headed southeast.

Mackenzie and her team followed at a safe distance, protected by top experts from the Ophanim Clan, including Rhett and Anna, along with seventy members of the Wolf Warrior Unit. With such a formidable lineup, Mackenzie’s safety was assured.

To avoid alerting the enemy, they kept a deliberate distance from Quintus‘ vanguard, careful not to get

close too soon.

Quintus, accompanied by twelve elite operatives, quickly closed the gap with the slow–moving target.

The bandits had entered a stone forest–an eerie terrain in the West End, nearly devoid of vegetation and filled with a labyrinth of jagged stone formations. Tracking them in such a maze would have been almost impossible without a military positioning system.

Following Mackenzie’s orders, Quintus shadowed the group cautiously, careful not to be detected until the Five Poison Sect members revealed themselves.

Deeper in the stone forest, the bandits finally paused to rest. The group consisted of twelve burly men. Aside from their hairy–chested leader, the others were ordinary men with robust builds.

Even the leader posed no real threat to Quintus–just an insignificant pest he could easily squash. Yet, the man carried himself with an air of arrogance, befitting the head of a bandit gang.

“D*mn those b*stards from the Five Poison Sect! It takes a full day and night to deliver their tribute–what a pain in the ass!” the hairy–chested leader, Bernard, grumbled as he sat down.

“Mr. Bernard, keep it down!” A tall; skinny man with a goatee hurried over, cautioning, “This is the territory of the Five Poison Sect’s branch. If their people overhear us, we’re done for!”

Bernard immediately clamped his mouth shut, his earlier arrogance replaced by visible fear. The mere mention of the sect clearly sent shivers down his spine.

Though their group could terrorize the locals with over a hundred men, they wouldn’t stand a chance against the Five Poison Sect. Crossing them meant certain death.
