Soren Hamilton used to be a gatekeeper at Pendletoni Mountain.

The most crucial aspect of being a gatekeeper is intelligence, recognizing people.

Knowing who is who.

Among the thousands at Pendletoni Mountain, Soren Hamilton recognized most of them.

He recognized all the elite disciples and elders, including the Sect Leader.

Although Soren Hamilton wasn’t very talented, that was beyond his control, but his mind was anything but dull.

He knew the blind swordsman wasn’t deceiving him.

Right now, there’s no way out.

Though the world is vast, if Pendletoni Mountain takes it seriously, there’s absolutely no place to hide.

With the phone in hand, Soren Hamilton covered his face and quietly left the house.

The people from Pendletoni Mountain would surely return to the Lu family, he just needed to wait cautiously around the entrance.

The Lu family had many people coming and going, several Pendletoni Mountain disciples entered one after another, but none were alone, some were even with Davonte Yarrow’s disciples.

Finally, Soren Hamilton saw someone carrying a sword.

He rushed forward and grasped the person’s arm.

"Brother Martin, may I have a word with you!"

As Soren Hamilton spoke, his heart raced!

If the opponent captured him and sent him to Forest Wolfe, he would likely suffer a thousand cuts of punishment!

"Soren Hamilton?" Tanner Martin held the sword, tore off Soren Hamilton’s veil, first exclaimed in surprise, then his eyes gleamed with excitement!

Soren Hamilton was the gatekeeper, familiar to the disciples who frequented the Pendletoni Mountain gate.

"You little brat! You killed our Pendletoni Mountain people, and you dare show up! Come on!" Tanner Martin grabbed Soren Hamilton’s wrist, itching to claim credit.

"Senior Brother Tanner, don’t you want to earn a great merit! A merit worth ten thousand times more than capturing me!" Soren Hamilton’s voice trembled, he could hardly speak fluently.

His life and death now lay in Tanner Martin’s hands.

"What are you saying?" Tanner Martin hesitated, feeling tempted.

At the same time, he was curious about what merit could be ten thousand times greater than capturing Soren Hamilton now?

Moreover, Soren Hamilton suddenly appearing now couldn’t be for self-destruction!

Conspiracy?

He cautiously glanced around, seemingly no one dared to kill in the Lu family courtyard.

And in broad daylight.

"What do you mean, explain clearly!" Tanner Martin’s curiosity overcame his excitement.

"This is what Elder Davonte Yarrow gave me." Soren Hamilton took out a phone from his chest and handed it to Tanner Martin.

"How is it in your hands!" The moment Tanner Martin got the device, his heart sank!

This was an absolutely confidential phone used for communication among Pendletoni Mountain’s upper ranks.

Soren Hamilton, an expelled disciple not on the rolls, how could he have such a thing!

Phones were carried closely, and Davonte Yarrow the revered elder couldn’t possibly lose it!

"Davonte Yarrow wants to kill the Sect Leader!" Soren Hamilton relayed Julius Reed’s words verbatim to Tanner Martin, "Is this merit low? If it’s true or false, show it to the Sect Leader, he’ll know."

"Alright!" Tanner Martin hesitated, grabbed Soren Hamilton, dragged him to his designated room, tied him up, locked the door, and swiftly left.

Inside the room, Soren Hamilton’s legs gave way, he was scared into exhaustion.

Tanner Martin deeply understood the importance of this matter, he pondered at the door for a while, yet couldn’t resist the huge temptation.

Set out to find Forest Wolfe.

Just as he arrived outside Forest Wolfe’s door, he heard conversation inside.

"My people have already discovered Soren Hamilton and that mysterious person’s whereabouts, within a few hours they’ll get confirmation, then I’ll make a trip for the Sect Leader."

"If there’s any news, report to me immediately! I want to personally capture this person and see who he really is!" Forest Wolfe lifted his teacup, took a sip, and leisurely said, "Elder Yarrow, you should rest for now."

"Mm."

Davonte Yarrow stood up and left the room.

"Elder." Tanner Martin politely smiled and greeted.

Yet internally, he felt extremely anxious.

"Mm."

Davonte Yarrow paid no mind, striding away.

Once Davonte Yarrow was far off, Tanner Martin knocked on the door and entered the Sect Leader’s room.

Being a disciple of Forest Wolfe, he only needed to knock to see his master.

No need for communication.

The ones guarding the door were also Forest Wolfe’s own confidants.

His fellow disciple brothers.

"Little Tanner? What brings you here?" Forest Wolfe pondered today’s events, seeing Tanner Martin enter with a heavy heart, he curiously asked, "What’s wrong?"

"Master, I need to tell you something privately." Tanner Martin felt extremely uneasy.

If this was Soren Hamilton’s trick, he would be punished for sowing discord!

The consequences would be severe!

"Speak up, don’t beat around the bush!" Forest Wolfe was very displeased!

Usually, Tanner Martin wasn’t one to dawdle.

Facing distress, he had even less patience.

"Master, Davonte... Elder Yarrow wants to kill you..." As Tanner Martin finished this sentence, his body couldn’t help but tremble.

He regretted it somewhat now.

But he had already spoken, there was no room for retreat.

His guts were all twisted with regret now.

"Speak!"

Bang!

Forest Wolfe slammed the table vigorously, scaring Tanner Martin into kneeling on the ground.

"Master, this is... what I got from Soren Hamilton..." He hurriedly took out the phone from his chest and handed it over.

Forest Wolfe grabbed it, and upon seeing the phone’s appearance, his pupils shrank sharply.

He grabbed Tanner Martin’s collar, asked in a low voice, "Where is he?"

"In my... in my room..." Tanner Martin’s legs went soft, sweating buckets.

"Let’s go!"

Forest Wolfe lifted him, pushed open the door, instructed, "Tanner Martin made a mistake, I need to punish him. If anyone comes looking for me, tell them to wait here."

After speaking, they disappeared from the front yard.

Reappearing at Tanner Martin’s room.

Soren Hamilton was bound, seeing the two enter, his face turned even paler.

"Tanner Martin, if you deceived me, you will find life unbearable. But if you’re speaking the truth, that spot in Will’s city is yours."

Forest Wolfe paid no mind to Soren Hamilton, he only needed to know where this person was.

"Do as they said, Soren Hamilton must stay here, only with him I can judge if Davonte Yarrow lied to me."

"Got it... But Soren Hamilton said, the person requested safety assurance..." Tanner Martin received the phone, his hand trembling like a sieve.

It’s all a gamble!

One thought to heaven, one thought to hell...

"Do everything as told, I just want to know if Davonte Yarrow truly wants me dead!"

After speaking, he returned to his room.

Two hours passed.

Davonte Yarrow opened the door, slightly excited, "Sect Leader, we’ve located the person, just twenty kilometers away in a cave!" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Upon hearing this, Forest Wolfe’s mouth twitched, but he still pretended to be satisfied and asked, "Is Soren Hamilton there too? I want to personally kill this traitor."

"Both are there!" Davonte Yarrow nodded.

"Then... let’s go." Forest Wolfe gave the disciple beside him a look, and followed Davonte Yarrow alone.
