"Go ahead, let's see what they have to say. After all... Dad is still in their hands!" Miranda gritted her teeth.
Mason nodded and answered the phone with a low voice, "Hello?"
"Mr. Lowe, have you made your decision? The patience of Thunderstorm is limited!" The man with triangular eyes asked in a dark tone on the phone.
"What did you do to my dad?" Mason asked angrily and worriedly.
"Old man, come over to talk to your son and make him surrender! Otherwise, your old life will be over!" Triangular eyes said sarcastically and coldly on the phone.
Then Emmanuel's voice was heard from Mason's side. "Son, don't worry about me..."
Boom!
Before he could finish speaking, there was a muffled sound as Emmanuel was kicked by triangular eyes.
Cobra spoke with a menacing tone, angrily cursing, "Old man, you damn well are seeking death! If you don't cooperate, believe me, I'll make you suffer!"
"Stop!" Mason roared loudly into the phone upon hearing the commotion on the other end.
"Hehehe, Mr. Lowe, did you hear that? Your damn old man is still in good shape, at least he has the spirit to resist us. But let me remind you, our patience is limited! Convene the underground meeting in Edoland as soon as possible and announce that you and your people are joining the NC
Organization. Otherwise... I'll make sure your old man meets a gruesome end!" Cobra spoke with a ferocious tone.
"Alright! I'll give you a response as soon as possible. I hope you won't harm my dad any further. I'm currently working on persuading my subordinates; otherwise, they won't accept it immediately. You wouldn't want my subordinates to turn against me right away, would you? Give me some time!" Mason said.
"Hmph, you better hurry up! Thunderstorm said that at the latest, it's tomorrow night. If you don't announce joining the NC Organization by then, be prepared for your father's funeral!" Cobra snorted coldly, the tone carrying a strong sense of threat. After saying this, he hung up the phone directly.
"Mason, how is Dad?" Miranda asked with concern, looking at her brother, whose expression was changing.
"Dad should be okay for now, but he'll definitely face some hardships! They said that at the latest, it's tomorrow night; if I don't compromise by then, they will..." Mason said up to this point, his face turned grim.
"Tomorrow night..." Miranda heard this and her beautiful face instantly became serious. She wondered if Lachlan would be able to return by then.
She had considered using the Suppressing Talisman that Lachlan had given her against the NC Organization. However, this protective item was a one-time consumable, and although it could take down Grandmaster-level experts, the limited number of uses was a significant constraint. NC Organization undoubtedly had more than one or two formidable experts, and the Suppressing Talisman would have limited effectiveness in this situation.
Moreover, her father was still in the hands of the NC Organization, and she couldn't afford to act recklessly.
"Sis, don't worry! If it comes to that, I'll... compromise! It's just being the boss of Edoland; it's not a big deal. Dad's safety is the most important!" Mason sighed, mentally preparing for the worst.
"Yeah! If it really comes to that, we'll have to compromise! By the way, if Mom asks, just tell her Dad is fine, don't let her worry," Miranda instructed.
"I know..."
...
Within the Sacred Medicine Valley of the Hudpids Sect, Lachlan and Savannah trailed behind Phoebe, heading towards the imposing silhouette of the mountain. As they drew closer to the mountain, the abundance of spiritual herbs along the way increased.
Occasionally, the three would pause to harvest, resulting in a bountiful collection. Occasionally, they encountered other participants in the trial!
At these times, Lachlan couldn't help but inwardly criticize Phoebe, who appeared serene and ethereal but didn't hesitate to seize the harvest of other participants. It could be said she was unapologetic!
However, this could be understood; Phoebe's goal this time was undoubtedly first place, and she naturally wanted to ensure her absolute advantage.
By around noon, Lachlan could clearly see the colossal mountain. It was at least two thousand meters above sea level, presenting itself as a conical volcano.
The closer they got, the more majestic it appeared. At the same time, the dense fog encountered when entering the Sacred Medicine Valley became increasingly sparse. At this point, it was almost invisible. The white mist near the volcano seemed as if... something was absorbing it.
Suddenly, an anomaly occurred! The summit of the colossal volcano suddenly emitted a brilliant red light, shooting straight into the sky.
After half a minute, it gradually dissipated!
Lachlan squinted, knowing that this was a phenomenon triggered by the imminent appearance of some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
"Pick up the pace! Let's go!" Phoebe's expression urged Lachlan and Savannah.
Then, she increased her speed and darted forward. At the same time, she turned back with a cold glance at Lachlan, subtly carrying a hint of threat.
If Lachlan intended to procrastinate or take advantage of the situation to get rid of her, this beautiful young mistress of the Hudpids Sect would undoubtedly act without hesitation.
"Let's go!" A trace of concern flashed in Savannah's beautiful eyes. The opponent was a mid-Core Formation expert, and she and Lachlan wouldn't stand a chance.
Lachlan coldly stared back at Phoebe, nodded silently, and quickly followed.
Everyone was a cultivator, and their speeds were extremely fast when focused on reaching a destination. In less than half an hour, the three reached the foothills of the massive volcano, and it took them another ten minutes to climb to the summit.
Upon reaching the top, Lachlan immediately smelled a strong sulfur scent. At the summit was a vast volcanic crater, devoid of vegetation and filled with scorching heat. Peering down into the crater, they could only see billowing smoke below, making the situation unclear.
"Step by step..." Shortly after the three of them arrived, a hurried footstep sound echoed.
From two other directions, two groups of people rushed over.
One group consisted of Benjamin, Finn, and Nathaniel, all in the early stages of Core Formation.
The other group included Arlo, Theodore, along with several descendants of the Hernandez family and the Great Origin Sect.
Clearly, the phenomenon of the red light just now had attracted others, and they were now coming over one after another.
"Hmm?" After coming up, Arlo and Theodore's faces changed slightly when they saw the two other groups of people. The next second, Arlo immediately ran towards Phoebe without hesitation.
Seeing this, Theodore hesitated for a moment before quickly following suit.
"Phoebe, what a coincidence! You guys are here too?" Arlo greeted with a forced smile.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
