Chapter 417 Do You Want It
Horace appeared before Nixon and helped him up. “Head elder! Are you alright?”
Nixon felt unprecedented warmth in his life as Horace held onto him.
He had always treated Horace as someone disposable. But now, Horace was his only salvation.
Nixon clenched his teeth and replied, “I’m fine. We need to retreat, or we’re all going to die here!”
An ambiguous expression swept across Horace’s face.
He realized that the decision to retreat was because Nixon was seriously injured.
A sly grin crept up on Horace’s face, and it gradually turned into a wicked smile.
The next moment, a dagger was stabbed into Nixon’s abdomen.
Nixon spat out another large mouthful of blood. “Horace! You
He looked at Horace in disbelief. He never expected Horace to backstab him at a time like this.
Nixon clenched his teeth and asked, “Why are you doing this?”
He couldn’t understand why Horace would want to kill his own ally.
Horace laughed and whispered, “Heh, you had it a long time coming for treating me like shit. when I’m also a senior of the TMAA like you!”
He had been waiting for a chance to enact his revenge for a long time.
Now that he had finally done it, he was elated as he watched Nixon dying in his arms.
He had fantasized about this exact moment for a very long time.
Nixon cursed at him once more, “Horace… You’re only who you are today because I brought you back to the TMAA. The chairman will definitely kill you for backstabbing me!”
He could only blame himself for not realizing Horace’s intentions sooner.
It was too late for Nixon to even fight back.
Horace laughed and replied, “The chairman won’t know what happened here. Everyone will just assume that you died fighting Caspian. You can rest assured that I’ll bring our men out of here as you intended!”
He then grabbed his dagger and twisted it across Nixon’s body, slicing all of his internal organs into a gory mess.
Nixon continued to spit out blood as his consciousness started to fade.

“Horace, you bastard… I’ll be haunting you for the rest of your life!”
Nixon finished his last words and finally collapsed onto the ground.
Horace let out a sigh of relief after confirming that Nixon had indeed passed away.
He would not be able to get away with this if Nixon somehow survived.
“The head elder has died! Caspian killed him! We need to retreat!” shouted Horace as he pretended to be distraught over the situation.
“What? The head elder is killed?”
The people of the TMAA were all shocked by the sudden news.
Nixon Xenos, the head elder of the TMAA, was dead.
Even Caspian was surprised by the announcement..
He had indeed struck Nixon with a powerful blow, but he could tell that Nixon wouldn’t have died from his one attack.
Caspian took a closer look at Nixon’s corpse and found a dagger embedded within the body
He quickly realized that Nixon had perished in the hands of Horace
Horace was truly evil to be backstabbing his own allies.
And the worst thing that came out of this mess was that Caspian was labeled as the killer.
He couldn’t care less about it as he never planned to let anyone get out of here alive.
“The head elder is dead! We gotta retreat!”
“We’re all gonna die if we don’t make a run for it now!”
“Retreat!”
The people of the TMAA instantly lost their will to fight after hearing about Nixon’s death.
They realized that if even the head elder himself had perished, they would not fare any better if they stayed.
The next moment, the people of the TMAA began to scatter and flee.
“Do you really think you can get away? Attention, armored battalion! Kill them all!” shouted Sylvia.
The armored soldiers responded in unison, “Kill them all!”
Everyone was also surprised as they saw some of the Morrisons appear before them.
The Morrisons had also arrived to retrieve the Eldorian Scroll fragment, and they were also an enemy to Caspian.
Caspian narrowed his eyes with intrigue as the Morrisons had finally shown themselves.
He knew her well enough to know that she had an unusual approach to conflicts ever since their days working together in the military.
If Jyn were a male heir to the Morrison family, she would have surely been the patriarch by
He had to join forces with another party in order to snatch the Eldorian Scroll fragment away from Caspian.
