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

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.

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.
