Dauntless God Of War novel Chapter 396

However, after taking into consideration the lay of the land in Jinrich, it wasn't hard for him to understand it.

Jinrich was an area that was largely inaccessible to the outside world. There was only a single mountain track where one could enter, while its three other sides were protected by natural barriers—mountain cliffs and rivers with currents so rapid that boats couldn't sail in them at all.

On the third side, there was a jungle filled with air that was poisonous to all living beings.

Even the villages within Jinrich were only connected by a few narrow tracks.

Transportation between them consisted mostly of horse caravans still.

“Why shouldn't I have killed him? He almost foiled our grand plan. Venustus, check the goods!”

Cobra spoke in a nonchalant tone, for he had no qualms about killing a subordinate who had disobeyed orders.

“Yes, Cobra!”

Upon receiving her orders, Venustus walked toward Evelyn.

“W-What are you doing?”

Evelyn was terrified by the trio's ruthlessness, especially when Cobra killed the guard without batting an eyelid. Having never been exposed to such a gruesome sight, she felt her knees go weak.

The only thing stopping her from slumping onto the ground in fear was the wooden pillar she was tied to.

Hence, the sight of the approaching Venustus triggered a fearful scream from her.

“Shut up!”

Slap!

Venustus smacked Evelyn to quieten her down, cowing the latter into silence.

After nodding in satisfaction, Venustus reached underneath Evelyn's dress.

The latter blushed but didn't dare resist for fear of being shot just like the guard.

Despite the guard being one of their own, they didn't even hesitate when it came to putting a bullet in his head. What hope does a hostage like me have? These people are cold-blooded murderers!

It wasn't until a minute later that Venustus removed her hand.

“Cobra, Viper, she's still a virgin. We can continue with our plan,” Venustus reported to the two men.

“Good. Viper, send her to my father-in-law's. Ever since the death of my wife, his support for me has waned considerably. Nothing we do in Jinrich will succeed without his backing. Once God of War takes care of Quintus and Mr. Campbell, throwing the underground into chaos, the time will be ripe for us to strike!” Cobra remarked excitedly.

His words inadvertently caused Zyaire and Evelyn to become ashen-faced.

“Yes, Cobra, I'll take her there right away!”

The moment Viper clapped his hands, two of his subordinates entered the hut. They subsequently untied the terrified Evelyn from the wooden pillar and took her away.

Soon, only Cobra and Venustus were left in the hut together with Zyaire.

“Cobra, what are we going to do about the old man? Should we get his family to pay the ransom now?” Venustus asked as she watched Zyaire desperately trying to struggle free.

“Not yet. I still need him as bait to lure Mr. Campbell out. I heard that the latter is this old man's future son-in-law. Considering what a proud man he is, he'll undoubtedly come here to rescue them. Anyway, order your team of snipers to get into their positions. Once we ensnare him in our ambush, that will be the end of our troubles,” Cobra ordered in a merciless tone.

“Cobra, since this place is inaccessible to vehicles and planes don't dare enter our airspace, he has no choice but to come here alone. Why do you need a team of snipers when I can easily take him out by myself?” the puzzled Venustus asked.

“Venustus, you're blinded by your ego. With such an attitude, you're only going to get yourself killed. He had already vanquished all his enemies six years ago. Do you know how many elite warriors and snipers died by his hand back then? The consequence of underestimating him is certain death. This time, other than putting an end to his reputation, I still want you to be by my side as we continue our conquest!” Cobra reprimanded Venustus over her excessive pride.

“Yes, Cobra!”

Venustus was shocked to hear Cobra's words. She had never seen the ruthless Cobra so cautious before.

Steeling herself, she summoned her most prolific snipers and had them hide in ambush around the hut.

Once the two of them left, silence returned to the scene.

Not long after that, the tanned youth returned to his station.

The sight of his partner's corpse lying on the ground didn't seem to surprise him. Instead, he walked behind Zyaire and quickly untied his restraints.
