Slumdog Billionaire Husband by Rayden Berg

Chapter 1055 Surrounded

They found a piece of land in the middle of the swamp, surrounded by many plants that Gerald had

never seen before. Fortunately, there was a clearing in the area. Gerald and a few others had already

gotten out of the car.

“The hover car has enough space for everyone to sleep in tonight,” Gerald suggested. “Triston and I

will keep watch, and once the car starts up tomorrow, we’ll take our turn to sleep.”

“Let me join you guys as well,” Lucinda said. “It was my mistake for not reminding you about the

strange happenings in Misty Mound Forest earlier. Besides, my clan sent me to assist you, so it’s my

responsibility to take good care of you. Leave all the dirty and tiring work to me.” Anabel shook her

head with a smile and said, “We don’t know the safe route, so we’ll still need you to drive tomorrow.

How about this, I’ll stay up with you guys tonight to keep watch.” Anabel’s words left her with no room

for rebuttal. In fact, after observing along the way,

Lucinda discovered something. Among this squad, Triston seemed to be the strongest so far. He was

the only one who had revealed the aura of a supreme Flame Decayer.

However, Lucinda could tell that for most opinions, these people would consult Gerald.

She knew deep down that Gerald was likely the backbone of this group of people!

What baffled her the most was Hector, because up until now, Hector had hardly spoken at all. There

was really no helping it. In fact,

Hector was already over a hundred years old, and there was a generation gap between him and

Gerald’s group, making it difficult for them to engage in conversation. After deciding, they sat down to

eat some food and drink a little water!

After eating, Anabel gave Gerald a meaningful glance. The two of them used the excuse of exploring

the surrounding terrain and walked to a deserted spot on the land. Anabel said, “There’s something off

about this Lucinda.” “Go on, tell me more,” Gerald said. “There’s something strange going on in

Misty Mound Forest, but Lucinda didn’t warn us. She claimed to have forgotten, but it’s hard to believe

she’d forget something so life-threatening. Especially when we got close to the forest, she still didn’t

mention it. If we hadn’t met Xavier, we would have been completely unaware and might have walked

right in,” Anabel said.

Gerald frowned slightly and said, “So, you’re saying… you think this Lucinda is not trustworthy? Isn’t

she a member of your Archaic Tribe?” “Didn’t she mention it herself?” Anabel said, “In this place,

betrayal is a common occurrence.

Gerald’s brow furrowed in thought. After a moment, he looked up at Anabel and asked, “Do you and

Kristian know the way to the Archaic Tribe’s base? We need to get to their base and pass through it in

order to enter the Promise Group.”

Anabel shook her head and said, “I don’t know the route! But finding the Archaic Tribe’s base shouldn’t

be too difficult. We just need to locate the others and simply ask them!”

“Well…” Gerald hesitated for a moment and said, “How about this? We don’t have any evidence right

now, so we can’t do anything to her. It wouldn’t be good if we mistakenly hurt her. So, tomorrow, let’s

take her directly back to the port, and then we’ll figure out a way to get to the port ourselves. How does

that sound?” Anabel nodded and said, “Alright.” After a brief discussion, the two returned to their base.

Time passed by, and the sky gradually darkened.

Lucinda’s performance was quite normal, and she was enthusiastic throughout the whole process. She

took great care of Kristian and his companions, making sure they were well looked after.

On Promise Island at night, the light was quite dim. Gerald and his friends lit a bonfire, and after it grew

late, Valery and the others returned to their car to rest. Gerald, Anabel, and Triston sat around the

campfire, chatting casually.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

At this very moment, they suddenly felt that people were rapidly approaching from all around them, and

there were quite a few of them! “Somebody’s here!” Gerald suddenly stood up!

With a single grab, Triston pulled the lance straight out of the car and into his hand. He then cautiously

scanned his surroundings.

The number of people steadily approached, and soon, around Gerald and his companions, there were

about 20 to 30 figures surrounding them. Anabel and the others had already run out of the car,

vigilantly watching their surroundings!

What shocked Gerald the most was that everyone surrounding them was at least at the level of Flame

Decay. Among them, there were four supreme Flame Decayers and even one supreme peak Flame

Decayer.

“Who are you?” Geraid asked loudly.

At this moment, all seven of them jumped off the hover car, standing back to back, vigilantly watching

their surroundings.

“Lucinda didn’t get out of the car!” At this moment, Anabel reminded everyone.

“Damn it!” At this moment, Lucinda jumped out of the car, cursing loudly, “I originally planned to take

you guys to the strange area in Misty Mound Forest and let you die there, but I didn’t expect you to be

so motherfucking cautious!”

Yes, at this moment, Lucinda spoke, and her voice was completely different from before. It was the

voice of a man, through and through.

“Cross-dressing person?” Triston exclaimed in surprise. But at that moment, Lucinda’s entire body

began to squirm. Her face grew larger, her body taller, and the swelling in her chest completely

disappeared, transforming her into the appearance of a man.

“Clown attribute?” Hector’s expression changed slightly! The Clown attribute is Blaine’s attribute-related

ability.

This attribute can be quite mind-boggling. Hector had mentioned that he could perform some

alterations to his appearance, but Gerald never in his wildest dreams thought that it would be possible

for him to transform from a man to a woman. This was simply astonishing.

After a brief moment of shock, Gerald looked at “Lucinda” with a gloomy expression and said, “The real

Lucinda Buck must have died at your hands, didn’t she? Who are you, exactly?”

“The real Lucinda Buck?” The person chuckled and said, “That woman did serve me quite well. At that

time, it was difficult for her to even die. My brothers and I were lined up behind her, and then… she told

me what she was supposed to do to pick up the genius from the Archaic Tribe and take them to the

Archaic Tribe’s base! Usually, the geniuses of the Archaic Tribe have quite a few treasures on them.

I originally thought there would be a supreme Flame Decayer expert protecting you, but it turns out

you’re just a bunch of little brats!” “Lucinda” chuckled. “But it doesn’t matter. Your

Silver Wings and weapons are pretty impressive treasures. Hand them over willingly, and I’ll spare you

some pain.” With that, he released a powerful aura from his body. Supreme Flame Decayer! There are

a total of six supreme Flame Decayers!

By this time, Gerald probably understood what was going on! Clearly, the real Lucinda was captured by

this group of people on her way to meet Gerald. They found out that she was a member of the Archaic

Tribe, but instead of fearing her, they humiliated Lucinda. Unable to bear the disgrace, she had no

chance to end her life in the face of the supreme Flame Decayer. So, she revealed her mission.

In front of them was a fake “Lucinda” who, in order to obtain the treasures held by Kristian and the

others, decided to pull off this heist. Using the Clown attribute, they transformed into Lucinda’s

appearance and then… went on to meet Gerald and the rest. The next thing to do is quite simple – kill

and plunder!

“Promise Island sure is thrilling,’

Triston licked his lips and said, “A total of five supreme Flame Decayers and one supreme peak Flame

Decayer! You guys must really think highly of me.”

The geniuses from The Eight Forces always come to Promise Island for training, and there are always

some people guarding them. Better safe than sorry, right?” At this moment, from the opposing camp,

the supreme peak Flame Decayer looked at Gerald and his companions and said, “Don’t think about

stalling for time. No one can come to save you. Just hand over the items honestly, and I’ll give you a

quick end!”
