Chapter 789: The Battle of Destiny

"haven't seen you for a long time!"

Qin Ran responded to the other party.

Then, he found that Kandy was looking at him with a strange look.

It was a look of curiosity, anger, and a little awe.

When meeting his gaze, the lady who claimed to be a bounty hunter, but was actually a new generation of 'Guardian' of Aesop's ancient city, hummed please, and turned her head straight away.

"Eat, eat!"

Baker, on the other hand, grabbed the pastry on the plate and stuffed it into his mouth while speaking vaguely.

"Ms. Conti, can you take Baker to find some more food?"

"This is not enough for him to eat!"

The old scholar said.

"Yes, Your Excellency Herbert!"

Kandy nodded respectfully, and led the big guy out.

With food as a temptation, the big guy left without any complaints.

Immediately, Qin Ran and Herbert were left in the reception room.

"You are actually from the 'royal family'... It's really surprising!"

Herbert said so.

"To be honest, I was surprised when I found out my identity."

Qin Ran shrugged, and the evil aura on his body quickly subsided.

It went back to normal again.

The original sins were naturally dissatisfied with such restraint, but in the face of Qin Ran's advanced spiritual attributes, those who had no resistance at all were suppressed.

"You still look like this, making people feel comfortable!"

"The way it was before...it was too scary, and Kandy was obviously frightened!"

"You must know that there are not many things that can scare Conti. Even at Caldwell's place, she has shown considerable courage, which made him suffer a lot."

Herbert gave a good-natured laugh.

"Can you tell me more about what happened?"

Qin Ran asked.

"certainly!"

"After you were injured in the battle with Aiga and left temporarily, everything was as you expected. Langton's military appeared. They have always known about the existence of night species and alien species, and they have also cooperated quite closely with them. It's like Carhartt Barracks."

"However, people's hearts are always not satisfied!"

"When obtaining powerful soldiers, some people in the military hope to obtain more 'capital', and Caldwell is one of the representatives. He believes that he should control everything, not only night species, alien species, but also The legacy of the 'Emperor'!"

"And I'm the chess piece that the opponent is looking for, and it's the unexpected one—because, in 2567, you joined my team, and not only killed Bartos, but also killed Binns, Mosoke, Ai Plus wait for the night species and alien species that make Caldwell feel constrained... So, he thinks that the opportunity has come, and there is no need to hide it."

Speaking of this, the old scholar smiled wryly.

No one wants to be treated as a chess piece, and old scholars are no exception.

Especially when this chess piece is still 'controlled' at any time.

While the old scholar was talking, his finger wrote on the short table: I was forced to drink poison, and a device similar to bugging was placed on my body.

Qin Ran watched and nodded.

He had expected this.

Then, he said this.

"But he ignored me!"

...

"neglect?"

"I dare not ignore a 'royal family'!"

Caldwell, who was sitting on a sofa, held a cane in his hands, put his chin on the back of his hands, and whispered to himself.

Caldwell isn't getting any younger.

The gray hair, wrinkled eyes, and slightly bloated figure all indicate that the other party is getting older.

But no one in the tent dared to ignore the old man.

Even if the other party is smiling all the time.

"My lord, do we need to activate the emergency record?"

asked an adjutant.

"Emergency filing?"

"Do you think Carhart is a [Hermida Flower] that can impress?"

"It will only be more vicious than 2567!"

"And what we need to do is to watch it fight openly and secretly with 2567, and then profit from it... Do you understand?"

While talking, Caldwell sat up straight and flipped through the information about Qin Ran.

This is the latest message sent at noon today, including what Qin Ran ate when he entered the hotel, and recorded it in detail.

The more he looked, the more Caldwell frowned.

Strong opponents are not to be feared.

The scary thing is that this opponent is not only strong, but also cautious.

Fortunately, there is still this guy, Carhart, who is entangled with the other party, so he doesn't need to face the other party directly.

Tread Tread!

A sound of footsteps disrupted Caldwell's thoughts.

Caldwell raised his head slightly displeased, and saw his adjutant who was going to 'deliver the letter' trotting in.

There are stains on the uniform, and many places are even cracked.

There was also a cut on the face, and blood remained.

"The 'royal family' doesn't have a good temper, does it?"

Caldwell said with a smile.

When he sent his adjutant to deliver the letter, Caldwell guessed what his adjutant might encounter, and even made preparations to recruit another adjutant to fill the staff team.

After all, there was never a shortage of such people by his side.

"My lord, Carhart is dead!"

The adjutant said with a pale face.

In fact, ever since he got the news and learned of Carhart's death process in detail, the adjutant's face has always been like this.

"What?!"

"Tell me everything you know!"

Caldwell stood up straight from the sofa, and asked in a low voice.

The adjutant immediately told the news of his investigation in detail.

The expressions of all the people in the tent changed with this narration.

No hands-on!

Killed Carhart only by summoning similar animal spirits!

Caldwell's face sank like water.

When the scouts who inquired about the news later also brought back positive news, Caldwell did not hesitate any longer, and directly ordered: "Return to the lair!"

"immediately!"

After the emphatic order was issued, the team that was originally hidden tens of kilometers away from Carhart's barracks moved quickly.

Without any stop, he looked for a certain direction and moved forward with full power.

In a specially-made carriage, Caldwell took out a ring carved from wood from his close-fitting pocket.

He gently wiped a trace inside the ring.

When one of the key points was touched, the wooden ring would burn quickly, turning into ashes within a breath.

Looking at the handful of ashes, Caldwell had distressed expression on his face.

He thought he would never need to use that power anymore.

I didn't expect...

"2567, 2567!"

Caldwell muttered in a low voice.

However, immediately, Caldwell, who thought of something, gloated and laughed.

The fateful battle is so exciting.
