Chapter 14: Give Her To Me

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Hearing Mr. Wade’s words, many people then came to a realization.

Initially, they had thought that there was definitely more to this matter and that the organizers were deliberately fooling them.

But the reason turned out to be this.

It made sense.

After all, five minutes ago, Anthony and Freda had been pouring their hearts out to each other.

It seemed that it was also at that point that the Specter Dragon suddenly changed its direction.

“Hehe, these two idiots. They thought that they could escape, but they didn’t expect to have made an unwise move, right?”

“If they had stayed with David earlier and helped him, they might have been able to get rid of it completely.”

“This is why it is said that the wicked will be punished by another wicked. Man proposes, but God disposes.”

Upon hearing this result, many people appeared especially pleased.

In David’s livestream, some people who were trying to create a ruckus shut up.

They did not expect this to be the case.

The viewers all understood now, but not David.

Why did the beast that was engaged in a fierce battle with him suddenly leave?

And it went chasing in the direction that Anthony and Freda had escaped towards.

What did the two of them have that made the beast only interested in them?

David was very curious. He looked in the direction where the Specter Dragon had left and followed it without much hesitation.

“What’s with David? Is he still going to save those two?”

“No way? He can’t be the reincarnation of the Holy Mother, can he?”

“Why else would he follow them?”

Many people felt that he was especially foolish. The two people had given up on him, yet he still planned to save them.

David traced the tracks on the ground. The familiar voice sounded in his head again.

“Congratulations Host on unlocking the Huntsman Skill. Current level: LV 1.”

Huntsman skill?

He looked around and suddenly realized that the marks that were not very clear earlier had become even more obvious.

On the ground, there weren’t only human footprints. Based on the size, it could be deduced that they belonged to Anthony and Freda.

This was because their footsteps had been more frantic and so appeared irregular.

The other set was the wild beast’s footprints. The stride was very wide, which meant that it was very swift.

The Huntsman Skill was really not bad. It was of great help to him at this time.

Next, he could even install traps around the house and make some hunting weapons.

In the future, whether it was close combat or long-range shooting, none of them would be too difficult for him.

He followed the footprints and walked about two kilometers. Suddenly, he had arrived at a small ravine.

This one was only the size of a public square and was circular. There was a relatively flat slope in the west and north side.

There were countless flurried footprints on the ground in front of David.

These footprints were not just Anthony and Freda’s. There were also three other sets of unfamiliar footprints.

Based on the size and depth of their footprints, it could be determined that the three of them were physically strong.

The frantic footprints on the ground carried some resistance. It could thus be inferred that Anthony and Freda had been taken.

The scene cut to the ravine . By the cliff, there was already a house that was taking shape.

Presently, a torch was still lit, seeming exceptionally bright and dazzling in this valley.

Then, the shot slowly moved into the ravine and captured three people sitting by the fire.

The leader was Morton, and the two others were Clark and Andrew.

Across from the three of them, Anthony and Freda crouched against the wall, their heads in their hands.

They looked at the three strong people in front of them and felt a fear they had never had before.

Such fear was not present when they faced David.

“Why are you two running around in the middle of the night instead of finding a place to sleep?” Clark asked with a giggle, as his eyes kept roaming on Freda.

Freda felt very uncomfortable under his gaze. She lowered her head and shrunk closer to Anthony.

Anthony knew that they were not simple people and laughed dryly. “We were chased by a wild beast and accidentally ran into your territory. We are really sorry.”

“Beast?” Clark raised his eyebrows and looked around eagerly. “Where? How big is it?”

Anthony answered carefully, “It’s similar to a lion. It’s completely black and there seems to be a horn on its head.”

Morton was leaning on one side, and listening to them talk with folded arms.

After hearing Anthony’s words, he was slightly stunned. “You said there’s a horn on its head?”

“I… I think so.” Anthony did not get a clear look at all.

“Yes or no?” Morton’s deep voice was cold.

Anthony flinched in fear, looking innocent and harmless. He nodded. “Yes, yes.”

Morton’s expression darkened. He said to Clark. “Release them, let them go.”

Clark asked in puzzlement, “Why… why?”

Morton said in a low voice, “If I’ve guessed right, the beast tracking them should be a Spectral Dragon.”

“Spectral Dragon!” Upon hearing this name, Clarke found it extremely familiar. After some thought, his expression changed drastically.

He looked at Anthony and Freda who were leaning closely together and clicked his tongue. “You two are really lucky to encounter such a situation on the island.”

Anthony asked in confusion, “Do… Do you know what it is?”

“Of course I know. This thing is extremely fierce. If you are targeted by it, unless you two die, you will be hunted to the ends of the earth.”

Clark deliberately made it sound especially complicated. His gaze that was directed at Freda was filled with renewed interest.

Anthony turned pale and asked anxiously, “Why? Why is it chasing us? We have never provoked it.”

Clark chuckled. “Beasts are beasts to begin with. Is it so hard to understand that you’ll be targeted as long as you appear within its range?”

Anthony thought for a second and felt that it made sense.

“Can you help us? As long as you kill it, you can make us do anything in the future.”

When the people in the livestream heard Anthony’s words, they all started commenting the vomiting emoticon.

“I’ve seen shameless people, but I’ve never seen a person this shameless.”

“This person is really a dog. He makes things sound good but is the first to run when he encounters danger.”

“You mustn’t help him, Morton. People like him deserve to die.”

This was what Clark was waiting for. He revealed a meaningful smile. “If you promise me one thing, we might be able to help you.”

Anthony nodded immediately without thinking. “As long as I can do it, I will definitely agree.”

Clark smiled smugly. “You can do it.”

“What is it?”

Clark pointed at Freda who was beside him and said, “Give her to us and we’ll let you go. We’ll even help you chase the Specter Dragon away.”

Anthony froze and Freda’s face turned extremely pale.
