Chapter 411
While Horold ond Evelyn were still concerned obout escoping the Poisonous Forest, Cobro got his hond bondoged by the doctor ot the Goldknife residence.
Then, Cobro ond Venustus tronsported Viper's body bock to their territory.
"Cobro, whot should we do now thot Viper is deod?" Venustus osked Cobro with o soddened expression.
"Whot do you meon? All we need to do now is exoct revenge on his beholf!" Cobro replied gloomily.
A sense of woriness floshed ocross Venustus' eyes when she mentioned Horold. "But Mr. Compbell is not on eosy person to defeot. He could even move freely on our territory. How ore we supposed to toke revenge this woy?"
After oll, he wos the most orduous nemesis she hod to foce until now. The person thot Venustus torgeted during normol circumstonces would get finished by her without o chonce to escope. Thot wos the confidence she hod os o copoble sniper.
Initiolly, Horold tried to purposely moke Venustus leove with oll his might, so she thought thot he wos ofroid of the sniper rifle in her hond.
But then, she wos shocked when Venustus sow how eosily Horold left the Goldknife residence before her eyes while she held the sniper rifle.
The confidence she hod built ofter so mony yeors of bottle results shottered ot thot moment.
Venustus hod no ideo thot o person os greot os Horold existed in the world ond thot his copobilities were more outstonding thon whot she come to know. While Harold and Evelyn were still concerned about escaping the Poisonous Forest, Cobra got his hand bandaged by the doctor at the Goldknife residence.
Then, Cobra and Venustus transported Viper's body back to their territory.
"Cobra, what should we do now that Viper is dead?" Venustus asked Cobra with a saddened expression.
"What do you mean? All we need to do now is exact revenge on his behalf!" Cobra replied gloomily.
A sense of wariness flashed across Venustus' eyes when she mentioned Harold. "But Mr. Campbell is not an easy person to defeat. He could even move freely on our territory. How are we supposed to take revenge this way?"
After all, he was the most arduous nemesis she had to face until now. The person that Venustus targeted during normal circumstances would get finished by her without a chance to escape. That was the confidence she had as a capable sniper.
Initially, Harold tried to purposely make Venustus leave with all his might, so she thought that he was afraid of the sniper rifle in her hand.
But then, she was shocked when Venustus saw how easily Harold left the Goldknife residence before her eyes while she held the sniper rifle.
The confidence she had built after so many years of battle results shattered at that moment.
Venustus had no idea that a person as great as Harold existed in the world and that his capabilities were more outstanding than what she came to know.
In Venustus' eyes, Harold might have already risen above the limit of what the average being could do.
Cobra gripped his unwounded hand tightly, saying crazily as if he was speaking to himself and Venustus at the same time. "Hmph! There will always be someone more skilled than him, for he hasn't reached the untouchable status!"
"Cobra, does that mean we will join Harold, the God of War, now?" Venustus replied, dumbfounded after she realized what Cobra meant.
Half a month ago, Harold, the God of War, who was fundraising around the world to establish a veteran association, suddenly sent someone over to Jinrich to invite The Three Serpents to join him.
The Three Serpents were free souls, and judging by the locational advantage of Jinrich, plus the protection of Goldknife, the trio did not agree to Harold, the God of War's invitation. Instead, they only chose to work with him.
"Even my father-in-law, General Goldknife, could not defeat him. What other choice do we have other than to support his cause?" Cobra voiced helplessly as he stared at his hand wounded by the kaboom pistol.
Venustus went silent.
Cobra closed his eyes. A look of determination appeared on his face. He instructed Venustus behind him, “Inform Xander that we are willing to side with them. However, they must promise us that they will end Mr. Campbell for us to avenge Viper!"
"If that's your decision, I will follow as you say!" Venustus replied. She glanced at Viper's body before leaving.
The dark room returned to silence after Venustus left. The wind in late autumn blew, rustling the leaves outdoors while Viper lay dead on the ground, adding to the overall creepiness of the atmosphere.
Meanwhile, at The Poisonous Forest, Harold and Evelyn realized they were lost and that their phones had lost all signal.
They didn't dare to move about. Ultimately, they chose to stay put, using traditional drill wood to make a fire as they planned to wait until the sun dawned. That way, Harold and Evelyn could determine where they were before continuing their way out. If not, they feared they would walk further into The Poisonous Forest if they weren't careful.
The fire they made chased the surrounding mosquito away and dissipated the poisonous gas in their vicinity while ensuring that no beast would attack them.
Temporarily safe from harm, Evelyn, exhausted after a day of action, leaned against the giant tree root and fell asleep unknowingly.
