BXBX NOVEL Chapter 806 The Faceless Thief Act (3)
Herman was walking behind Alina, and he was coldly staring at the human\'s back, \'Is she really affiliated with that thief? But how could that be? Is his background really that impressive, and that\'s why everyone wanted to get their hands on him?
\'If it\'s true, then I can\'t leave Alina with him. If that happens, their ambiguous relationship will become clear, and thereby Alina and all the Silver Ice will become targets. But he came here to save her, which means he deeply cared about her, and Alina will no longer listen to me. Deep down, I want to let her leave, but I also want someone to find us. Things will never be the same if she comes in contact with that thief. Even Ancestor will not spare us….\'
Herman\'s mind was a battlefield at this moment as he couldn\'t decide what to do once they left this prison.
He knew if he let Alina go, the Silver Ice Hunter Clan would suffer a massive backlash and might get executed by the rageful Blood Ancestor. On the other hand, he also knew if he tried to stop Alina, she would be going to resist strongly.
He never thought the mortal he disdained once would be turned out to be such a scourge, and if he just had been open about it and, as Alina said, took him with them at that, this might\'ve never happened at all!
Yet now, there was nothing left but regret, and he had to decide a choice between Alina or the Silver Ice Hunter Clan.
After taking a deep breath, he finally said, "Little Aly, you do know what will happen to our clan if you make a wrong choice, right?" His elderly voice rang in the silent tunnel.
Alina, who was walking ahead of him, didn\'t look back as she replied, "Yes, I know."
"There might be another way we should discuss with your father and mother," Herman stated mildly.
"I have already thought of a way, don\'t worry, Grandpa," Alina assured with conviction.
Lillian remained silent while she listened, and now she was finally starting to understand what was happening and who that woman might be, and she was really shocked.
Herman wanted to say something else, but no words came out as if he knew Alina had made her decision, and now it was his turn.
Thereupon, all of them stepped outside the tunnel, and a few meters away from them were raging Azure Winds as they surrounded the entire mountain, and those winds were giving them a ghastly feeling.
"I didn\'t remember seeing those winds when we came here?" Lillian muttered in astonishment. Herman also has the same thought as Lillian.
The woman walking in front turned around and stated, "Of course, you don\'t remember them because they weren\'t there in the first place. Those azure winds are a product of this very mountain you were detained in. This is the core of the Azure Wind Continent and the reason why this place is called the Azure Wind, the Prime Azure Mountain!
"There is a very powerful formation installed in this mountain which controlled those Azure Winds, and when you came here, they were suppressed using the same formation, and when you were imprisoned, they were released again.
"I heard that only a Law Comprehension Realm Cultivator could endure these azure winds, any less, and they will shred by them with both body and soul. Lastly, this mountain is also the residence of the strongest existence of the Human race, the Prime One. So even if you had managed to escape from the cavern, you would be trapped by those winds all the same."
The woman smiled, seeing the hunter\'s pale expression, "Oh, that should be one of the core secrets of the Azure Wind Mountain Sect. Well, whatever; it\'s not like I\'m under an oath to keep it that way. Now, on the main topic."
She looked deeply at Alina, who was also looking at her, and her complexion looked somewhat better after she took those pills. She said, "Let me formally introduce myself; I\'m a companion of the Sky Stealer, titled the Faceless Thief. As you have already guessed, he sent me here to rescue his sister, you, and, if possible, your associates as well."
Her eyes went colder, "But after observing you guys, I don\'t think you are all on the same page. You see, I can\'t risk recusing someone who doesn\'t want to be rescued and put my own life in jeopardy. Because after this checkpoint, we will no longer be alone, and I need your full cooperation.
"So, I need a definite answer, not just from you but your servants as well. Do you want to meet him or do you want to go home? He will respect your choice, and I will help you escape this place as well. But I need to know your final choice so we can all be on the same page."
The woman, or more accurately Winter, coldly stated without any room for subtly. Only she knew just how much trouble and big of a risk she had taken to acquire the body of this 7th Azure Elder who was in charge of monitoring Alina.
Thereby only after confirming that the Azure Patriarch and other high-ranking members were busy dealing with the demons and devils, she dared to make a move.
But after meeting with Alina and her servants, she found these guys\' minds were not aligned at all, and this was nothing but a risk for her, so she wanted to make things clear before moving forward.
Alina\'s heart raced when Winter confirmed her association with Ace and felt extremely thrilled, and she completely understood Winter\'s plight, and this choice will change many people\'s lives.
Herman, on the other hand, was not very happy after his hunch was confirmed, while Lillian was feeling the same conflict as Herman but not to the extent that she wanted to keep Alina here in this hellhole.
Now, the hunters needed to choose if they wanted to be associated with the most infamous thief or not!
