Outside Wildfire Town.
Sarah stood on a mountaintop, observing the town below with binoculars.
Finally, Sarah locked onto a target: a pair of siblings next to a small van.
"I found you, Phaethon."
Sarah smiled and put away her binoculars.
"Surround Wildfire Town for me."
"Don't let anyone from Wildfire Town escape. Capture them all."
Sarah said to the people behind her.
The rebels behind her nodded and began to descend towards Wildfire Town.
Sarah also got into an off-road vehicle and headed straight for Ling and Zhe, with a group of Motorcycle Clan members following close behind.
...
Meanwhile, inside The Hollow.
After driving for a while, Pompey and his group decided to stop and rest, and also to observe the situation with the Sons of Calydon.
But before they could stop, they heard the sound of motorcycles approaching from behind them.
Seeing this, the few of them turned around and saw the Sons of Calydon group.
"How is this possible?!"
Morse was incredulous. He had personally buried those explosives!
And the explosion had already occurred. How could they still be alive?
"This girl has some tricks up her sleeve."
"To actually chase after us directly."
"Lucius, Morse, get ready."
After speaking, Pompey smiled contentedly and nodded.
"Uncle Pompey, stop!"
"I have something important to tell you!"
Caesar shouted, but the people in front seemed not to hear.
Suddenly, the people in front began to accelerate. Seeing this, Caesar and the others also accelerated to catch up.
After a few minutes of pursuit, they arrived at an open space.
"Caesar, I didn't expect you, little girl, to be quite bold."
"To actually chase after us directly. However, I won't just hand over this overlord position."
Saying this, Pompey took out his weapon, a long sword.
Lucius and Morse did the same.
"Uncle Pompey, don't let the villain beside you deceive you!"
"That Lucius, he tricked you."
"Uncle Pompey, haven't you noticed anything about the recent situation at the Triumphant Ones camp?"
Caesar looked at Pompey anxiously.
"Hahaha, of course I know."
"It's normal for young people to have some ambition."
Pompey laughed heartily. He knew about Lucius's actions; it was normal for young people to have some ambition.
Lucius, hearing this, looked at Pompey in shock, but then suddenly thought of something and felt a little relieved.
If he knew, then he wouldn't have drunk the water he offered him these past few days.
"Why waste words?"
"Let's take down that scum first."
Hoshimi Aya listened to Pompey's words and said nothing.
If he really knew, he wouldn't have died in the original plot.
"Hmm?!"
"Who are you?"
"You don't seem to be one of the Sons of Calydon, do you?"
Pompey looked at Hoshimi Aya, puzzled.
He didn't seem to have seen this person at the beginning of the competition.
"Uncle Pompey, it seems you've been deeply deceived by the person next to you."
"Let me explain."
Lucy stepped forward to explain, recounting everything that had happened these past few days, as well as their suspicions.
Lucius took a few steps back in disbelief. How did they know his plan?
At the same time, he secretly cursed Sarah for not having made her move yet.
If Hoshimi Aya wasn't here, he might still be able to escape.
"Have you been feeling that your body hasn't been as good as before lately?"
"Don't doubt it, the villain next to you poisoned you."
"If nothing unexpected happens, in his plan, you would have died in the Blazing Crystal Fire Lake during this Hellfire Ride."
"If you still can't bring yourself to do it, I can do it for you."
Saying this, Hoshimi Aya placed her hand on the hilt of her sword.
Pompey, listening to their words, his expression changed like a Sichuan opera mask.
From his original hearty laughter, it turned into a grim, dark face.
Morse's expression also changed.
Because there was a lot that Caesar and the others said that he didn't know.
Lucius said he only did all this for the Triumphant Ones!
"Brother Pompey, you, you listen to my explanation!"
Lucius frantically explained, but his steps kept retreating.
Suddenly, a long sword fiercely pierced Lucius's body, and the owner of this long sword was none other than Pompey.
"All these years I've nurtured you, but it turned out to be counterproductive."
"These years, I'll just consider it a misjudgment!"
"But thankfully, it's not too late."
Pompey said fiercely, but the hand holding the sword trembled uncontrollably.
If Lucius hadn't done these things, in a few more years, he might have taken over his position as leader of the Triumphant Ones.
He never expected Lucius to go astray.
"Sigh~"
"Girl, it seems this overlord position is yours."
"I have to admit, you have a group of trustworthy companions by your side."
"I misjudged and wrongly trusted that Lucius."
"When I return this time, I will definitely reorganize the Triumphant Ones."
Pompey sighed.
As for the overlord position, he had no hope. Not to mention his body, which had been poisoned.
Secondly, he needed to reorganize the Triumphant Ones when he returned. Currently, it was not suitable for him to contend for this position, so he could only give it up.
Meanwhile, Morse was frantically kowtowing and admitting his mistakes.
"Alright, you were also kept in the dark by that guy."
"It's time to go back."
"I also need to go out and get my body checked."
After speaking, Pompey got into his car, bid farewell to the others, and drove away.
Morse, seeing this, quickly followed.
"Alright, let's set off quickly. We still need to throw the Flint into the Fire Lake soon."
Lucy reminded.
Caesar nodded. Just as they were about to set off, Eous suddenly made an unusual sound.
At the same time.
Wildfire Town.
"Proxy, something bad has happened!"
Kasa rushed to Ling and Zhe's location.
"Mayor, what happened?"
Zhe asked, puzzled.
"No time to explain."
"You two come with me first!"
Kasa pulled the two and quickly left, but soon retreated.
"Oh?"
"Where are you taking them?"
Sarah looked at Kasa with a playful tone.
Behind Sarah were more than a dozen rebels.
Seeing this, Kasa changed direction, but then stopped again.
Soon, the rebels surrounded the three from all directions.
"Aren't you Perlman's secretary?"
"Why are you with these rebels?!"
Ling looked at Sarah in shock.
At the same time, she guessed that the other party might be here to rescue Perlman, but if they were here to rescue someone, what were they doing now?
Wouldn't it be easier to just rescue the person and leave?
"Hehe, little sister."
"You're really naive."
"My being Perlman's secretary was just a temporary measure."
"As a pawn, he's useless now."
"But I'm not here for him this time."
Sarah finished speaking with a smile, waving her hand to signal her subordinates to capture the three.
"Proxy, I will do my best to protect you both."
Kasa stood in front of the two.
However, the rebels were numerous. Even if Kasa had some fighting skills, she couldn't withstand the sheer numbers.
As for Ling and Zhe, it goes without saying that they were almost instantly suppressed.
The three were pinned tightly to the ground, and then they were tied up.
"Throw this one with the other residents."
Sarah pointed at Kasa.
The rebel who received the order carried Kasa and walked towards the detention area where they had previously imprisoned the residents.
