Chapter 816 An Opportunity

Anabel’s expression changed. “Gael was killed?”

The servant hurriedly nodded. “Yes, two of the experts on the level of Flame Decay died in a row. It is said that seven or eight half-step Flame Decay experts were killed as well. The killer seems to be after the Four Ancient Families, and they’re all freaking out right now. They’re worried that the killer’s next target is them.”

A mysterious smile appeared on Anabel’s pretty face. Then she asked, “Do you know who did it?”

“It seems to be the group of people from last time.” The servant said, “However, the specific situation has not been revealed. Right now, rumors have gone viral throughout the city. Recently, the City of Phoenix has not been peaceful. Superior Envoy, your status is noble. Please be careful when you go out.”

If something happened to Anabel, the Four Ancient Families would have to suffer.

“I understand.” Anabel nodded and said, “You may leave.”

When the servant left, Anabel’s eyes shone with a bright light.

“That man can be able to kill Gael alone. Gael is one of the most talented experts. I did have keen eyesight. He must be the holder of Dragon Bone. If…” As Anabel spoke, she slowly let out a breath and said, “I have to take him under my command!”

Gerald was not interested in the reaction of the Four Ancient Families. He also did not know that Anabel was very satisfied with him now.

But it did not matter even if he knew. Gerald was not interested in Anabel at all. In fact, he even wanted to kill Anabel, which would save him a lot of trouble.

The hover car circled around and entered the city. Lexie exhaled and said, “Are you going to hand in the mission tomorrow?”

“No.” Gerald shook his head and said, “There are still a few experts of the level of peak Half-Step Flame Decay left to deal with. After I settle them down, we will go to hand over the mission.”

Lexie nodded and said, “Then tell me when you hand over the mission. We will go together.”

Gerald looked at Lexie and Laylah strangely, then nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll contact you guys when the time comes.”

“By the way,” Lexie warned, “the Four Ancient Families will definitely be furious in the near future. The City of Phoenix will probably be in a state of turmoil. You guys should be more careful. After the turmoil is over, you can make your move on the others.”

Two experts in the level of Flame Decay died within a few days. The Four Ancient Families would certainly have some actions.

As for what they would do, Gerald didn’t know about that.

Regarding the hunting operation later, Gerald planned to go back and make a detailed plan.

In fact, Gerald’s target was Flame Decayers, but the real threat to Earth was Half-Step Flame Decayers of the Four Ancient Families. The Pioneers of the Four Ancient Families were all driven by them.

Therefore, it was a good choice to try to reduce the number of Half-Step Flame Decayers.

Gerald did not let Lexie and Laylah send him and Claude home. Instead, Gerald and Claude went to a place with no one around and got out of the hover car. They circled around before taking a taxi back.

Jacob was sitting on the sofa with excitement and amazement.

When Valery and Carolyn saw them return, she hurriedly came over and asked, “How is it?”

“We did not disappoint you,” Gerald smiled.

“That’s great,” Carolyn said happily.

A hint of excitement appeared in Triston’s eyes as he said, “I plan to attack my target tomorrow.”

In addition to Flame Decayers, Gerald also needed to kill four Half-Step Flame Decayers.
