The Legendary Man Chapter 701-Jonathan gave the three of them a stunned look.
When he looked out from the cave earlier and noticed that it was still dark, he had assumed that he had only been out for a short. He couldn’t believe that an entire day had passed.
“Are you surprised that you survived?” Xavion asked with a smile.
Jonathan nodded candidly.
It was indeed a miracle for him to be alive based on the combined efforts of the three men before him.
Meanwhile, Karl had finally narrowed down the location.
“I found it. Killian’s signal is coming from Mapleton. It’s about nine hundred and sixty kilometers away from here.”
“Less than a thousand,” Jonathan murmured as he got to his feet.
“That doesn’t make sense. Stellario should have traveled one thousand and five hundred kilometers in twenty-four hours even with Layla and the kid in tow.”
“Why does it matter?” Xavion said with a grin. “The nearer to us, the better. Once we get the kid back, we can all go home and Karl would have to make his choice.”
No sooner had Xavion spoken than everyone turned to look at Karl.
All the cultivators from the six respectable families had infiltrated Remdik after being attracted by the terms offered by Karl.
Even though they were no fools and knew that the entire situation was a setup, they didn’t want to miss the opportunity to eradicate their peers.
Morris was the perfect example of that.
If Jonathan hadn’t finished him, Xavion and Sirius would have also killed him when he was at his weakest after unleashing the Dragon Mastodon Technique.
At the end of the day, they were just actors in a great drama. The only thing that mattered to cultivators was self-interest, while those who valued loyalty and morality never survived beyond Superior Realm.
With that, the group walked out of the cave and extinguished their fire before leaving.
In the midst of the snowstorm, Jonathan’s voice rang out.
“Why does my head hurt? Which of you hit me? Also, I don’t remember being struck on my thigh.”
“You remembered wrongly,” Sirius replied matter-of-factly.
In the blink of an eye, the four of them disappeared into the night.
Beside a river in Mapleton, Stellario was carving a fawn that had been skinned.
“Kathleen, stop sitting there as if you’re the boss and come help me!”
“You really have no shame in asking a woman to do work,” Kathleen commented flatly with a cigarette between her lips.
She was hugging Killian and Layla with one arm on each side.
The three of them were relatively comfortable with Kathleen sharing the mink coat she wore with Layla. Killian’s eyes were closed after he lost consciousness.
Subsequently, Winston held Killian’s hand to take his pulse before finally shaking his head.
“The kid is weak from exhaustion. Despite maintaining a strong front, he has yet to mature emotionally. All the killing in recent days must have traumatized him.”
“Traumatized?”
Stellario walked up with a tree branch in hand and skewered the venison with it.
“The kid has the guts to stab himself. Do you think he would be traumatized by us? When kids have a fever back in my village, they always recover after receiving bloodletting treatment. We should do the same to him.”
“I dare you to do it!” Kathleen shielded Killian with her fan. “Is any member of the Mallory family normal? You treat your children as vessels for rearing spiritual parasites, but this is just an ordinary kid!”
