"Here is what I found. I think something is off with this bag," the soldier said.

The man glared at him, took the bag from him, and loosened the rope. He opened the bag and pulled it down, revealing a human head. Everyone gasped in shock, and the people broke out into whispers.

"Thi...this is the head of the commander!" the man blurted out in shock, with his eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets. "You killed him!" The man drew out his sword and pointed it at Kenzo. He really wanted to sl

    "Here is what I found. I think something is off with this bag," the soldier said.The man glared at him, took the bag from him, and loosened the rope. He opened the bag and pulled it down, revealing a human head. Everyone gasped in shock, and the people broke out into whispers."Thi...this is the head of the commander!" the man blurted out in shock, with his eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets. "You killed him!" The man drew out his sword and pointed it at Kenzo. He really wanted to slice off his head right now, but he knew he would have to answer to Valerius; hence, he controlled himself.Kenzo stood there with a confused look on his face. He couldn’t understand why trouble was always coming for him, even after he had tried his best to avoid it."Just who the hell did..." Kenzo paused and suddenly chuckled darkly."Alator," he muttered. "Now it all made sense."A wide smile appeared on his face.With that, the soldiers bundled Kenzo and dragged him out of the room.Kenzo loo

    Alator got up immediately and made a mad dash towards his left, heading straight to the mine, with drops of blood trailing behind him..........In the mine, at the sleeping quarters, some slaves were already asleep while some were still awake, just like Kenzo, who was sitting and staring at the moon in the sky through the space between the iron bars blocking a hole beside his sleeping position.Someone’s face suddenly appeared at the hole from the outside, blocking his view.Kenzo’s expression turned grim as he narrowed his gaze at the person. Within a few seconds, his brows suddenly shot up in realization as he recognized the person to be Alator.Alator smirked and tossed a piece of paper at him, then quickly left the place immediately.Kenzo stared at the folded little paper in his hand for a while. He opened it and his brows tightened as he stared at the five words written on the paper: "meet me at the mine."Initially, Kenzo didn’t want to go. However, he was really curious about

    Alator's gaze scanned the faces around, and they finally landed on Ruk, who had just stepped out of one of the tents."It seems the mission was successful," Alator smiled and quietly walked out of his hiding place."I was worried about you guys, and here you people are already organizing a feast."A voice rang out in the camp, and everyone became alert. They immediately drew their swords as their eyes began to pierce through each and every corner of the place.Right then, Alator appeared in the mist like a ghost. A sword suddenly pierced straight toward his face.Seeing the incoming blade, Alator smirked and ducked to the side. The blade passed across his face. He balled his hand into a fist and punched the wrist of the man holding the sword."Bang!"The sword fell from the soldier’s hand. Seeing that he was disarmed, and realizing that the enemy is much stronger than him, the man quickly backed away. Of course, he never intended to hurt the man, if not he wouldn't have let him off ea

    "You dared try to kill me."He suddenly slammed Alator onto a nearby chair."Crash!"The chair shattered into pieces, and Alator felt his body arch in agony. But before he could get up from the shambles, the Commander pounced on him and punched his face."Bang!"Alator felt his jaw shake, almost like it had been dislocated, and blood rushed out from the side of his mouth. The Commander was indeed looking down on Alator; to him, he could kill him with his bare hands without even breaking a sweat."Bang!"Another devastating punch came right at the corner of his eyes. It tore his skin, leaving a bloody wound on his face.Alator almost blacked out from that hit, as his vision momentarily turned white."Shit!" Alator cursed internally. "I thought they already fed them with the Black Dreew," Alator thought as he continued to struggle on the floor under the Commander's grip. But in truth, Alator didn't know that not all the soldiers ate from the food. If he knew that, especially that the Co

    "I almost thought you wouldn't make it," one of the soldiers said as he pulled down his hood and walked toward Alator. Then, the rest quietly put down their weapons as they recognized it was Alator."Not really, I just took a little time to get things ready," Alator replied with relief. He was almost scared to death when these people suddenly broke out and surrounded him. After all, they were putting on soldiers’ armor."So, what are we doing tonight?" the man who seemed to be the leader of the group asked. His name was Ruk. He was one of the seven people Alator had chosen to lead the operation tomorrow—stationed at the east wing of the island."Well, since things are moving so fast, why don't we escalate it further?" Alator said."What do you mean?" Ruk asked."We will take down the east wing tonight, then place our men to guard it. That way, it will make things much easier for us tomorrow," Alator said."Isn't that dangerous? I mean, we might end up exposing ourselves if we go for a

    Alator, Logan, and Nelix were dragged away by the soldiers.Alator smiled as they walked past Jorik. Jorik’s expression hardened. He was confused. He didn’t understand why Alator was smiling. That look didn’t seem like someone who was about to die. Instead, it seemed like he had achieved his goals.Jorik didn’t believe he had lost to Alator. Like hell, he was sentenced to death right in front of him. Then, what else could he do? That was Jorik’s thought at the moment.He waved the unnecessary thoughts away. Even though Alator had escaped his evil scheme last time and killed his lackeys at the river, he was sure Alator wouldn’t escape this time. His fate was already sealed. Jorik smiled at his own achievement.........................................The sun soon went down the horizon, and darkness finally descended.Alator, Nelix, and Logan were locked up in the same room. The two had almost argued Alator to death. But Alator had been quiet and hadn’t said anything to them since they
