"Interesting," Anna said with a confident smile on her face, "I'd like to know how you found out."
Gardiner covered his forehead with his hand and said, "D*mn it. He got himself another chance to show off."
"Princess Anna, I don't think you've learned martial arts, right?" Henry asked.
"No," Anna shook her head honestly, "How could I admire you so much if I knew martial arts? It turns out I was just ignorant. After I have met the Lord, I realized how weak you are."
Henry smiled, "You didn't know martial arts so you don't know that through years of practice, every martial arts practitioner has their own unique features. In Holy Fire Town, the old man's steps were seventy-five centimeters apart. Although the man here looks like him and has the same height, his steps are eighty centimeters apart. It shows that these are two different people. When the old man brought away the seven Section Nine members the other night, all seven people walked away in a hurry, which means they didn't plan to do anything on this mountain. You people tried to frame Noble Berserkers. They just played along and left me here to expose you. You think they surrendered to you, but in fact, they are still loyal to Noble Berserkers."
"Well done," Anna clapped, "And?"
"What remains is easy," Henry shrugged, "The old freak is one of the Noble Berserkers. I think he wasn't the one who picked the four hundred children. It was you. You want to open the inheritance of Antiquity Country, so you picked those children because of their ancestry. The tricks the old freak plays weren't for creating the holy event but for gaining The King Region's trust, and he didn't plan to sacrifice the children for the gods but to take them away from here. Your people caught them when they were on their way out. Am I right so far? Everything went according to your plan until Gardiner and I showed up. Alvin League's experimental creatures are still not strong enough. But your people said in front of me that they were going to cripple me. It was obvious that your purpose was to drive me away from the mountain, which means there are things here you don't want me to see."
"You didn't disappoint me. Well said!" Anna didn't care to hide her admiration for Henry.
Gardiner was confused. He gave a thumbs-up to Henry and said, "Buddy, honestly, I admire your billsh*t ability."
Henry was speechless to Gardiner's comment. He explained, "There are so many things that happened recently, which got me thinking. Without the protection of Antiquity Country's government, there's no way Alvin League can excavate the whole mountain without raising suspicion."
"What's going to happen if people suspect?" Anna sneered, "Do you think with the two of you and that old guy, you can walk out of here alive?"
"Otherwise?" Henry looked confident, "If you really have the force to keep me here, how can you give me chances to escape? Let me guess. You made me say all those to buy you time to gather and dispose of important materials? Gardiner, use your satellite phone to call people over. Nothing can be taken away by them!"
"Okay," Gardiner took out the phone with full confidence.
"Take care of them!" Princess Anna waved her arms and stepped backward.
Countless experimental creatures surrounded them.
On the other side of the hall, the other person had finished his battle.
"Hey, come over and help us. Dinner on us later. We are Noble Berserkers' best friends!" Gardiner shouted. He then gave the old freak a finger heart.
"I know you. One is from Section Nine of Yan Xia, and the other is Henry Zhang of Radiant Island," The person shouted back. His voice didn't sound old at all but full of energy.
