Capítulo 1810: Chapter 1810: I’ll Count to Three—Face the Consequences!
Rhys Fox and his group abandoned the attack. Taking advantage of the moment when everyone in Puddington City stopped their actions, they swiftly darted in and quickly gathered in the pavilion.
Rhys Fox even reached out and directly pulled the heavily injured Golden Immortal Guards in front of him, controlling them with one hand.
With just a thought, Rhys Fox could crush these guards into pieces.
Casen Matthews’s face was ashen, staring coldly at Carson Flores who was hiding behind Callie Matthews, “Who are you?”
With a handful of hostages, Rhys Fox felt secure and knew that they had already won this round today. He laughed heartily and said, “The Sect Master of the Hundred Tribulations Gate, Rhys Fox.”
Hundred Tribulations Gate!
Everyone was in an uproar.
Casen Matthews had already suspected this, and now it was confirmed, he felt a slight relief.
He already understood the other party’s plan.
This group wasn’t here to kill; they came for the rescue of their sect’s disciples and the ownership of the spirit vein.
The negotiations between the two sides had been ongoing, but since the Puddington Tribe controlled the spirit vein and had a group of Hundred Tribulations Gate disciples in their hands, they had the upper hand in negotiations.
Hundred Tribulations Gate had been stalling the negotiations, not expecting the other side to make such a ruthless move.
Casen Matthews was actually prepared for this, after all, he had to guard against the Hundred Tribulations Gate acting in desperation, but he never expected these people to sneak into the city silently and launch such a sudden attack!
Otherwise, how could they have succeeded?
Casen Matthews said coldly, “What do you want?”
As he spoke, his eyes glanced towards Carson Flores, ready to act at any moment to snatch Callie Matthews back.
Once he got Callie Matthews back, he could ignore the remaining Golden Immortal Guards. After all, the Heavenly Immortals were still here. If he killed them, even though he lost a group of Golden Immortal Guards, it would still be a gain.
Unfortunately, Carson Flores was very cautious. When Rhys Fox and his men arrived, he quickly dragged Callie Matthews behind them. Throughout the process, Carson Flores stuck closely to Callie Matthews, as if they were one, not giving Casen Matthews any opportunity to make a move.
Carson Flores wouldn’t give him the chance to turn the tables.
If, at this point, due to carelessness, they let the situation be reversed, then they deserved to die.
Rhys Fox was just about to speak when Carson Flores suddenly said, “Open the formation outside the city, let us leave, and we’ll discuss the rest once we’re safe.”
Rhys Fox was taken aback for a moment, then felt slightly embarrassed.
For someone his age to be outdone in caution by a youngster was truly quite shameful.
Right now, he held the advantage, so why start negotiations on enemy territory?
Wouldn’t this unwittingly diminish their advantage?
If they left first and ensured their own safety, then conducted negotiations, wouldn’t they have the upper hand?
Negotiating now would allow the other side to use their lives as leverage, leading both parties to hesitate, which was unfavorable for Rhys Fox and his group.
He decided to stay silent, letting Carson Flores decide.
After all, it was his idea, and he captured the hostages. If it were Rhys Fox and his group, they couldn’t have achieved this, and he had to concede to this.
Casen Matthews stared sharply at Carson Flores, moving his gaze to Rhys Fox after a few seconds.
“Rhys Fox, are you really going to let this young whelp negotiate with me?”
Rhys Fox smiled slightly and calmly replied, “What he says, I say.”
Casen Matthews said coldly, “Kid, don’t forget, you’re still within Puddington City, and our people have surrounded you. If we really fight, none of you can escape!”
Carson Flores grinned, “If you don’t care about Callie Matthews and these guards’ lives, then go ahead and fight. We’ll kill them first, then fight you with all we’ve got. Even if all eight Heavenly Immortals end up dying here, I’m afraid your Puddington Tribe will be in ruins, so who’s afraid of whom?”
Casen Matthews sneered, “Even if we suffer heavy losses, we’ll have gained by killing you all here.”
Carson Flores chuckled, “Stop bluffing. I know your status isn’t ordinary, but as the beloved granddaughter of the Azure Dragon Clan Leader, if Callie Matthews dies on your turf, you have no way to explain it to the Clan Leader.”
“Besides, how do you know we have no means of escape? Casen Matthews, don’t talk about having hostages in your hand; if you want to negotiate, let us leave first, then we’ll slowly discuss. If you don’t want to talk, let’s fight it out.”
Casen Matthews’s face was hard, and his eyes held an uncontrollable rage.
A kid in the True Immortal Realm dared to threaten him so arrogantly!
But he had to yield because, as Carson Flores said, if Callie Matthews really died here, he wouldn’t be able to account for it.
He might not receive severe punishment, but from then on, he probably couldn’t stay in the Azure Dragon Clan any longer.
Carson Flores saw this point clearly, which is why he was so brazen.
Casen Matthews said in a deep voice, “You came here for your sect’s disciples, right? I’ll have them brought here, and we’ll exchange.”
Carson Flores replied in a calm tone, “I only want to leave now, I don’t want to waste words with you. I’ll count to three, if you don’t step aside, I’ll start killing.”
