Slumdog billionaire husband novel (Gerald Kenneth)

Chapter 922

Chapter 922 Die or Surrender

Anabel’s face turned slightly red upon hearing their conversation as she stood nearby them but quickly

composed herself and joined Valery and Spencer in helping to treat the injured people.

While Anabel possessed a water attribute that had some healing properties, its effect was not

particularly

noticeable.

Sheryl appeared to be in better condition after a brief treatment and some rest. Her flawless cheek now

had a hint of redness. The injuries she sustained were internal, and Valery only provided her with a

brief treatment. The rest of her recovery would depend on her own abilities.

With a complex expression, Sheryl rose to her feet and gazed at Anabel, Gerald, and the others. She

said, “When I arrived on this island, I fought against all of you. But in the end, you all saved me, and

this was out of my expectation. I’m indebted to you and don’t know how to repay your kindness. If you

ever need any assistance in the future, you can come to Infinito and find me. I will do my best to help!”

Upon hearing this, Gerald remained unfazed. He felt that his involvement with this world was limited to

the Four Ancient Families and that everything he had experienced so far, such as his journey with the

Pierce family of Rime City and the current training, were merely incidents that occurred along the way.

After dealing with the Four Ancient Families and investigating the truth regarding Nether Palace, he

planned

to return to Earth.

After all, he really didn’t like the system in this world.

However, there was a look of joy on Anabel’s face when she heard Sheryl’s words.

She had hoped for this outcome. Anabel had assisted Sheryl, Benning, and Kristian with the intention

of

having them be indebted to her.

Anabel’s intention was to befriend Sheryl, Benning, and Kristian, as they were likely to become

leaders in their respective forces in the future.

Despite the joy she felt, Anabel downplayed the favor, saying, “It’s nothing too serious. Besides… We

also sense that something is amiss with the training grounds. The beasts’ behavior has become quite

unusual.”

Sheryl nodded in agreement and added, “I’ve noticed that too. The beasts seem to be congregating

towards

the center of the island. The fact that it’s happening during the time when the Eight Forces are

undergoing

their training makes it feels unusual.”

Benning cursed and exclaimed, “This is incredibly suspicious. Do you think someone is controlling

these

beasts to lure us, the Eight Forces’ geniuses, to the center of the island, only to ambush and kill us?”

Kristian glanced at him speechlessly and said, “Are you out of your mind? Where did you get the idea

of someone controlling the beasts? Besides, I doubt anyone dares to offend us, the Eight Forces.”

After saying that, his eyes glimmered with excitement. He suggested, “Do you think there could be a

treasure

in the center of the island? Perhaps something that could be used to craft a Divine Weapon?”

The moment he mentioned it, the rest of the group’s eyes brightened with excitement.

Upon seeing this, Gerald let out a sigh as he knew he couldn’t say anything about Brigid.

He was fully aware that there was someone who could manipulate the beasts, and that person was

currently

outside the island.

Anabel shook her head and said, “What you guys are suggesting is not very feasible. Even if there are

such materials, it’s better not to get involved with them. We should focus on our training, and once

we’re done, we can inform our elders and let them decide what to do.”

Sheryl nodded in agreement and said, “I agree. The cards I have now are almost used up. Initially, I

wanted to compete for first place, but given the current situation, I would be content with making it to

the top ten. My plan is to go to the altar first and leave this place once my injuries have healed.”

“Why don’t… we go together?” asked Kristian as his eyes lit up slightly.

Anabel glanced over at Gerald and shook her head, then explained, “I won’t be joining. We don’t have

enough points yet. I think it’s better for us to leave this place and try to obtain some cards outside.”

Benning and Kristian, both interested in getting closer to Sheryl, readily agreed to Anabel’s suggestion

about leaving. They hoped that more people would join them as it would increase their chances of

spending more

time with Sheryl.

Sheryl did not say much after seeing their reactions.

They conversed for a while regarding the beasts’ peculiar behavior, but they were unable to determine

the

cause.

Afterward, Gerald and the other three said their goodbyes to the other three teams and ventured

deeper into

the jungle after exiting the cave.

Having spoken with the three teams, they realized that something was amiss. They decided to continue

their journey now that they had enough points to secure a spot in the top ten and hoped that they could

get lucky

in finding more cards.

They also intended to head to the altar and then leave the island.

As for their rank, they planned to leave it to their luck.

The four of them hurriedly made their way toward the altar located in the center of the island.

As they progressed past the fifth level, the number of beasts around them noticeably increased,

slowing their

pace. When they had no other option, they had to engage in battles with the beasts.

Thus, the four of them steadily made their way toward the altar.

At the same time, someone was on Mount Moores, the main star of Havotune.

Moores meant bad luck in this world.

Hence, Mount Moores was a mountain of bad luck. It was huge and located at the border of three

countries, Solein Kingdom, Herren Kingdom, and Ghosn Kingdom.

ter 922 D. or Surrender

The mountain range had prevented any chance of war between the three countries as their ground

troops could not pass through

As for the sky, it was also the same. The sky above Mount Moores was forbidden.

This mountain range was infamous as a forbidden area for humans, with less than one in ten people

able to

enter and exit alive.

Even so, there were still countless Treasure Hunters and Pioneers that kept entering this mountain

range.

Gurr was a Flame Decayer, but he was not the kind of Flame Decayer who rose from a big family. He

had no background and grew up in an ordinary family. He reached the level of Flame Decay by himself.

In this world, Flame Decayer could live a good life in Havotune.

However, Gurr was a Treasure Hunter, and his path to success was paved with encountering crisis

after crisis during the process of treasure hunting, and then breaking through each one.

Knowing that this mountain was considered a forbidden land for humans, Gurr felt that he should take

on the

challenge.

He had been exploring Mount Moores for over a month and had already reaped a significant amount of

treasures. He stepped on a valuable herb on the ground and carefully collected it, placing it in a box

and then

storing it in a large pocket on his back.

“I should have enough now,” he said to himself, patting the two bags on the ground contentedly. With

that, he

made the decision to head back home.

“I’m pleading with you, Aarav! Please, let me go back to Earth! I hate this world and want to return to

Earth.

I’m begging you!”

Suddenly, he heard someone wailing from a distance.

Gurr possessed an attribute-related ability that enhanced his hearing. His sense of hearing was

exceptional,

and he could perceive even the slightest sounds.

With this attribute, he was able to avoid the wild beasts easily.

However, when he heard the wailing just now, he couldn’t identify what language that was. It wasn’t the

universal language of Havotune, and he couldn’t quite understand it.

“There’s someone else here? I’ll go over and have a look.” He swallowed his saliva nervously. Gurr

carefully made his way toward the direction of the voice with two large sacks on his back.

Shortly thereafter, he came across a tired-looking woman on her knees, pleading with a man in his

thirties.

Gurr was taken aback when he sensed the young man’s power. He seemed to be incredibly strong,

even more so than the supreme Flame Decayer he had ever encountered.

“I’d rather not get involved in this.” Feeling a tinge of fear, he swallowed his saliva. He considered

turning around and slipping away.

As soon as he turned around to leave, he suddenly plopped down on the ground. Without his

knowledge, the young man dressed in white appeared behind him with a grin on his face.

Then, the young man said, “Die… or surrender!”
