---- Chapter 2572 ''Damn it!'' Andrew silently cursed underwater, gritting his teeth. After a moment''s hesitation, he clenched his jaw and plunged into the ck whirlpool. He had to save Shiloh. If he did not, she might very well drown. The night around Swordhaven Keep was suffocatingly dark. Outside the estate, squads of armed men had gathered from all directions, but none dared to set foot beyond the outer perimeter. By the edge of the forest, inside a small wooden cabin, Alfredo slowly wiped the de of his sword.
Firefly''s de was already gleaming, sharp, fluid, and beautiful like flowing light. Yet, his polishing did not stop. Onyx and Ivory arrived quietly at the door, bowing their heads. Both of them called out, "Mr. Topsfield Senior!" Alfredo raised his sword, tracing an arc through the air. "Where is she?" Onyx replied, "Mr. Topsfield Senior, she must have fallen into Sword Lake. Theke connects directly to the Sword Pool beneath it." ---- Ivory chimed in, "She''s as good as dead.
Inside the Sword Pool, she definitely..." Before he could finish, Firefly shed, slicing the air with a sharp hum. The de stopped an inch from Ivory''s throat, so close it nearly took his head off. Ivory trembled, staring at Alfredo. "Mr. Topsfield Senior..." Alfredo drew back his sword without even looking at him. "Did I not make it clear? No one is to mention what''s inside Sword Pool. Not a single word. Now go. Dive into Sword Lake and search immediately "Her strength is extraordinary... Even while in the martial emperor realm, she was actually able to fight me.
Since she''s walked right into our hands, we must kill her. Otherwise, she''ll be another enemy in the future." Onyx and Ivory sped their fists. "Yes, sir." Ivory hesitated, then added, "Mr. Topsfield Senior, various sects from the Eastern Regions, as well as several major powers, all have masters who''ve entered our Swordhaven Keep territory. It seems quite a few people know about what''s in Sword Pool, but it''s strange that these people somehow know it''s about to emerge." Alfredo said dismissively, "They''re just a bunch of vultures; ---- nothing to worry about.
A treasure of this magnitude belongs only to those with the power to im it. Besides, three generations of Swordhaven Keep''s masters have poured their blood and soul into this. I won''t let anyone else touch it." Ivory replied, "We''re only afraid that when that thing emerges, it will cause chaos. Men die for wealth and birds for food, especially for something so earth-shattering." Alfredo smiled coldly, and Firefly in his hand hummed and vibrated, as if it could sense his mood. "It''s true that men die for wealth, but some treasures require risking your life to seize.
And even if you get it, you might not live to enjoy it." He said, "All you two need to do is find and kill her. As for everything else, leave it to my sword." Onyx and Ivory straightened, eyes zing with renewed focus. "Yes, sir!" they said in unison before bowing and leaving. Alfredo sat alone in the cabin for a long while before stepping outside with his sword in hand. He looked toward the back of Swordhaven Keep, where thend was shrouded in darkness. His expression did not change, but his voice was low and filled with conviction. "If not me, then who? This is destiny.
This time, even Guillermo won''t see iting." Suddenly, Firefly began to tremble in his grip. Unlike before, ---- when it had trembled with bloodlust and the desire to kill, this time Firefly seemed afraid, as if it were terrified. It struggled continuously in Alfredo''s grip, trying to fly back into its sheath inside the cabin. Yet, instead of rm, Alfredo felt delight. In his eyes, an intense desire and ambition zed forth. "This is great! The moment for Swordhaven Keep to dominate the martial world has finally arrived. No, not just the martial world...
Even across this entire nation, I, Alfredo Topsfield, will reign supreme!"<fn806a> ??? ????? ???????s ??? ?????s??? ?? FindN()vel</fn806a><style>
