Chapter 2009


    Exhausted by the journey, all the group wanted was a respite. Sanctuary was just up ahead. If they


    could cross the bridge that was less than 40 yards away, then they could reach it, and yet standing


    before them was a hurdle nigh impossible to ovee. An army of one thousand stood before them,


    blocking the bridge. Even during their peak, not even they were confident they could charge through


    this army, let alone now when they were all exhausted.

    The bespectacled man in the lead came up to them with a smile. "You must be Mr. Matthew Larson."


    He had one hand behind his back and a phone in his other. After he hadpared the photo to


    Matthew, the man nodded. "Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Larson. I am… Ah, apologies, but a future leader


    like you does not need to know my name."


    Matthew and his gang weren''t answering. The man adjusted his sses and said, "My employer has


    heard of your name, and he wishes to see you. I am here on his behalf. If you have no other business


    to attend to, pleasee with us."


    Not even Matthew could fend off this man and his army. Even though he expected a great obstacle


    between him and Bainbridge, he didn''t expect it to be so great that it rendered them helpless. "Who is


    your employer, and what business does he have with me?"


    The man just shook his head with a smile. "Our employer likes toy low and forbids us from telling


    anyone anything about him. We do not know why he wishes to see you. Oh, and it''s gettingte. If we


    get there toote, he might be upset. Do please cooperate with us." The man spoke politely yet


    imperiously.


    But that got on the crown prince''s nerves. "I say we cut the crap and kick this sissy''s *ss! Then we


    charge through the blockade!"


    But before he could do anything, Freya had already ced her de on the man''s throat. "Out of our


    way or die."


    Her intent to murder was clear. If the man said no, Freya would cut his head off. However, even in the


    face of death, the man was still not fazed. Instead, hisckeys started roaring and approaching


    Matthew and the gang, but they stopped when the man raised his hand.


    "Miss Green, I have shown nothing but courtesy. This is rude on your part." Heshed his right hand


    out and moved away from the de as if he was carried by a gust of wind. Because Freya was tired,


    she moved a lot slower.


    When she tried to pull her de back, the man was already holding the hilt of her de. "Calm down,


    youngdy. Calm down. Getting angry isn''t good, don''t you think?" The man turned around.


    Matthew knew he was no match for this man, so he turned to Szar, but to his dismay, Szar also


    shook his head. If he was in peak condition, he could still run even if he couldn''t win, but after the long


    journey, Szar''s strength was almost depleted as well. He was the best warrior out of all of them. If


    even he could not take the bespectacled man down, Matthew and the gang might never cross this


    bridge.


    Matthew took a deep breath and moved ahead, his right hand on the hilt of his de. Over the course


    of the journey, not once did he use his sword energy. He had to conceal the secret that his de was


    the famous Bloodreaper, but now that they were so close to entering Bainbridge, he decided to use it.
