A ferocious battle between them was about to begin.
However, at this moment, the voice of an elderly person rang out from the other side of the mountain.
“Goliath, behave yourself.”
The elderly person's voice which came from the mountain was not loud, but everyone present could hear it clearly.
When they heard this voice, all the townspeople at the scene showed reverent expressions on their faces.
One after another, they even kneeled down with respect.
Even Goliath, who was in a state of rage, calmed down immediately.
His rage dissipated in an instant as his body trembled, and he changed from a werewolf back to a human form.
With a respectful expression, he lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong and said in a low voice, “Yes, Mr. Gurney.”
It turned out that the voice which came from the other side of the mountain was the voice of Alberto Gurney, the Elder of the Warfang
Settlement.
After ordering Goliath not to be rude, Alberto's voice rang out again.
“The Five-star General of Ariarica, the powerhouse of mankind, the guest from afar, His Excellency Max. You have broken the unspoken rule of non-intervention and intruded into our territory. Do you have any discontent with the werewolves and have come to voice your dissatisfaction?”
Max looked at the mountains in the distance and said calmly, “You must be the Elder, Alberto Gurney, of the Warfang Settlement, am I right?
Today, I'm not here to cause trouble. I bring bad news and I am here to seek your help.”
Alberto's voice came again. “What bad news and what type of help do you seek?”
Max asked plainly, “Is Pele one of your kind?”
Instead of insisting, he simply replied, “Please think it over. If you werewolves are willing to help me, I promise to give you great benefits and improve your living conditions. If your final decision is not to help me, then I will have no choice but to approach your nemesis, the vampires.”
Here, Max put on a mysterious smile as he continued, “I'm afraid that when the vampires agree to help me, I will give them all kinds of benefits, and they will become stronger and overwhelm your kind. Because of the hatred the vampires have for you, I'm afraid they will destroy all of your kind when they become stronger.” “Max, are you threatening the Warfang Settlement and we werewolves?” Alberto's voice rang out again. This time, he sounded angry.
Max bowed slightly and replied with a smile, “Not at all. I'm just seeking your help.”
Alberto did not reply immediately. He seemed to be hesitating, weighing the pros and cons.
When Goliath did not hear anything from the Elder for some time, he could not help standing up and shouting, “Mr. Gurney, please agree to his request.”
“Pele, my friend, was killed by humans. I want to go out from these mountains and kill the guy named Nathan Cross with my own hands to avenge Pele.”
After some time, Alberto spoke again with a sigh. “Max, I grant you your request. I shall send Goliath to help you kill Nathan Cross, the God of War of Eurasia. However, you must remember that this is the first and the last time.”
Max looked pleased when he heard these words. Facing the distant mountain, he bowed and said with a smile, “Thank you.”
