Chapter 840


    Han appeared abruptly as if he had materialized out of thin air with no warning. He stood before


    Lawrence, his gaze fixed on the red–robed messenger.


    The red–robed messenger’s expression changed, a mix of surprise and fear washing over his face. He


    quickly retreated, putting distance between himself and Han. His eyes locked with Han’s, disbelief


    etched across his features. “How did you find your way here?” he asked, his voice filled with incredulity.


    The cave nestled deep in the snowy mountains, concealed from prying eyes. It was a hidden sanctuary


    far away from any human habitation, adding an air of mystery and seclusion.


    Moreover, he had set up numerous defense and rm mechanisms outside the cave, which would


    alert him to any movement or disturbance outside.


    But despite all the precautions, Han had appeared without triggering any rms. The red–robed


    messenger was bewildered. “How is this possible?” he wondered, his mind racing for an exnation.


    “Why would I know? Of course, it’s because of the clues and marks left by Lawrence, Han replied as


    he extended a finger.


    On his finger, a drop of cooking oil was particrly visible.


    The pupils of the red–robed messenger contracted sharply as he looked at the cooking oil on Han’s


    finger. Then, he nced at Lawrence, who was standing behind Han. Anger immediately surged


    within him as he silently cursed, “Ive been yed!


    Seeing Han appear, Lawrencepletely rxed. He fell onto the snowy ground, and let out a long


    sigh of relief, before saying, “Han, you finally arrived. I was exhausted. If you hadn’t arrived, I don’t


    think I could have kept up the act any longer.


    “An act? The red–robed messenger seized upon the key information in Lawrence’s words.


    Of course, it was all an act, Lawrence replied. As he held the meteorite in his hand, he kicked away the


    stones on the ground and proudly said, “Everything I told you earlier was a lie. That so–called spirit


    gathering array is utter nonsense. I didn’t understand it at all. The reason I said all that was to exploit


    your weakness, to use your desire for power, and to fabricate a lie to buy time. Did you really think the


    cooking oil on me was only for defense against your cursed beetles? Well, you’re wrong. The cooking


    oil on me has a special fragrance that lingers in the air. By dousing myself in cooking oil, I naturally


    acquired that scent. As you took me away, drops of cooking oil would fall along the way, creating


    markers that Mr. Jaber could easily follow to find me. You’ve been yed, you fool!”


    As he spoke, he grabbed a handful of snow and wiped off the cooking oil from his body.

    The red–robed messenger’s face instantly became incredibly dark, and he said in a deep voice, ‘So,


    you already nned everything before my arrival. Deliberately dousing yourself in oil, deliberately


    allowing me to take you away, just so you could let Landon and Yvonne escape. Then, you fabricated


    the lie of the spirit gathering array, purposefully being slow in setting up the array, and asking me for


    the treasure. It was all a dy tactic to wait for Han to rescue you?”


    “You’re right. You’re notpletely dimwitted. There is still hope for you to be saved,” Lawrence


    nodded and continued to toy with the meteorite in his hand. He continued, “But in terms of intelligence


    and foresight, you are nothing in front of me. Although not being able to see your true face is a loss, it


    is an unexpected joy to obtain such a meteorite from your hands. This meteorite shall be the


    compensation for the sword beam attack you used to harm me. Now, get lost quickly, red–robed


    messenger. After speaking, he continued to y with the meteorite.


    The red–robed messenger’s eyes darkened upon hearing this, and an endless rage surged within him.


    He clenched his fists tightly, creating cracking sounds.


    He had been yed, and manipted by Lawrence, an unknown nobody! This was an absolute


    humiliation! “Bastard, I’ll kill you!” the red–robed messenger roared in anger, his body like lightning,


    charging toward Lawrence.


    As he attacked, an extremely fierce murderous intent soared into the sky, causing the cave to tremble


    and buzz.
