Chapter 32: Heaven Devourer mountain
"Isn't that overkill?" Inside Arian's tent, Leon's voice resounded as he looked at Arian with amusement.
Arian not only wore her armor, but she also concealed countless knives and weapons all over her person—from boots to belt to a hairpin holding her hair together. She was loaded with weapons.
"Funny," Arian looked back at Leon and mocked.
He too was fully equipped, wearing leather armor with two daggers, one by his waist and the other hidden. However, the most eye-catching thing about Leon wasn't that—it was what he had in his bag.
Healing potions! Dozens of them were in his bag.
"You can never be too prepared, Boss." To the side, a voice sounded, supporting no one precisely.
"Hmm, you're right," Leon smirked before patting this person on the back.
This guy was someone Leon was very familiar with—the sly youth from the Blood Serpent Clan, called Gunta.
Leon had made Arian buy him a slave, and he didn't need to manipulate her or anything; she was the one who proposed the circumstances that led to him buying Gunta.
"Cough, cough," Arian coughed slightly.
She understood that joining the Death Squad was very sensitive, but most of all, what she couldn't afford was Leon causing trouble or working with the Blood Serpent Clan to escape.
She had to place a tight leash on him, so as soon as they left the commander, she suggested the oath be altered a little bit. She asked for the safe distance between her and Leon to be shortened from 100 meters to about 40 meters and that Leon couldn't spill the beans of their contract even if they were found wanting.
It was asking for too much, yes, but Leon surprisingly agreed. He had his demands, though, and one of them was for Arian to buy Gunta.

The door to the main carriage slowly swung open, and Anan proceeded to walk inside. Meanwhile, Dorian, who was right behind Anan, turned and looked over at Arian with a sick twisted smile on his face.
"Hehe," he laughed mischievously at Arian before turning around to follow behind Anan.
It was clear that something fishy was going on. Immediately after defeating Anan and Dorian, they were sent an invitation to join the Death Squad, and now Anan and Dorian had appeared.
If this whole thing wasn't suspicious, then she didn't know what was.
"Go inside; we are about to set off," one of the guards who had led both Arian and Leon here said as he rode his horse over to the side of the carriage.
"Hm!" Arian nodded and entered the carriage, and not long after...
"Set off!"
From the very front of the troops, a voice filled with a commanding tone sounded as a man in silver armor directed the Death Squad to set off.
They had their target and were fully prepared to take them down; all they needed to do now was actually make it to the location before their targets would have the chance to run off.
As for their destination, it was a place called The Heaven Devourer Mountain.
