“Pat…”
Oliver Walker lit a cigarette amidst the desolate north wind of the night, his eyes gradually becoming deep and profound.
He then leaped back onto his feet and returned to the auction house the way he had come.
As for whether Vivian Li would add to the slaughter, he did not know.
But he did know that Jessica Wright should not kill indiscriminately.
Furthermore, if he didn’t get his hands on the Spirit Gathering Grass, the entire pyramid would be plunged into crisis.
The situation in the pyramid was truly besieged on all sides!
Meanwhile, Vivian Li, in a fit of rage, had slashed open the wooden box that was within reach, but all thirty-nine were empty.
She was on the verge of going mad!
“Ashiba!”
“Liar!”
“They’re all liars!”
“Gather the men, we’re attacking the auction house!”
Indeed, she had gone mad; otherwise, she wouldn’t have done something so crazy!
The temptation of the Spirit Gathering Grass was irresistible to her!
Moreover, to obtain the Spirit Gathering Grass, more than a dozen elite guards had already died, a dire loss.
Although they were all killed by her hand, this bill could only be charged to Oliver Walker and Andy Carter.
And since Oliver Walker was someone she could not afford to offend, and the Spirit Gathering Grass was in Andy Carter’s hands, there was hardly any need to think about who to trouble!
“Yes!”
The remaining eighty-odd guards also took up arms and followed Vivian Li as they charged straight towards the auction house.
At that moment, inside a two-story building!
“Mmm mmm mmm…”
More than thirty martial arts experts were bound on the floor, each with something stuffed in their mouths.
In their midst stood a group of Wright Company guards clad in black ninja suits, wielding katanas.
Tokugawa Wood reported with a bow, “Miss, all the wooden boxes have been opened. We didn’t find the Spirit Gathering Grass!”
“Either we’ve been duped, and there was never any Spirit Gathering Grass in these boxes.”
“Or it’s been stolen by Vivian Li!”
There was nothing wrong with this analysis.
But as to which possibility was the actual case, it was really hard to say.
“Everyone, back to the auction house!”
But Jessica Wright suddenly realized; they had been played by Anthony Carter. This was a ploy using people’s greed to drive them to kill each other, eventually reaping the benefits of a fisherman!
In fact, she was indeed anxious; she had seen hints of the deception but was just too eager to restore her teacher’s brother to his peak strength.
That’s why she fell for it!
“Hi!”
“Swoosh swoosh swoosh…”
The next moment, hundreds of ninjas followed behind Jessica Wright’s lithe silhouette, heading back to the auction house.
As for the captured ancient warriors from the pyramid, she never had any intention of killing them.
Besides, she only wanted to help her teacher’s brother, so why would she harm them?
They were just not released to prevent any disturbances.
Furthermore, even if Vivian Li discovered them, they no longer had the wooden boxes, and thus, their lives were no longer in danger.
So it was safest for them to stay here.
But Jessica Wright had no idea that within five minutes of her departure,
The thirty-plus bound ancient warriors from the pyramid were all slain with their throats cut, helpless as they fell to the ground!
More than a dozen Carter Company guards wiped the blood off their daggers!
“Young master!”
“They must have gone out to continue the hunt!”
The corners of Frank Carter’s mouth curled up into a smile.
Everyone who took part in the auction was regarded as prey by them.
Including Jessica Wright and Vivian Li; they were just prey standing at the top of the food chain.
But in the end, they could not escape the hunter’s trap!
Actually…
If Frank Carter could understand just one sentence from the Eastern Alliance, he would know that Jessica Wright wasn’t out to hunt the ancient warriors of the pyramid, but was heading straight for Anthony Carter’s stronghold!
“Good!”
“Very good!”
Anthony Carter sat in the auction house, complacent and waiting for Jessica Wright and Vivian Li to kill each other.
After all, these two forces were the strongest at the auction house!
As long as they fought each other, the battle would naturally come to an end!
