They downed their drinks after clinking sses.


    Duncan put his ss down and turned to look at Mireille, who was


    sitting beside him, looking like a walking corpse. His heart ached for


    her as he asked, “Mireille, do you want to get some rest?”


    Mireille said woodenly, “Anything you say!”


    Duncan picked Mireille up and took her over to an air mattress set up


    nearby.


    Then, the head of the Duncan family’s security walked over and said, ”


    Mr. Swordsman, a crew of oddly dressed people want to see you!”


    Iv as


    “Did they state where they’re from?” the Swordsman asked tly


    he gazed at the head of security.


    “ck Wind Mountains!” the head of security answered respectfully.


    “The Mountain Master and the rest are here!”


    The Swordsman grinned and immediately jumped to his feet to


    outside with Boris.


    After Duncan pulled a nket over Mireille, Peter said, “Dun, let’s he out and meet the members from


    ck Wind Mountains as well!”


    The power of the ck Wind Mountains was not something to sleep on, and it might even end up being


    a ce where he took refuge in the


    future.


    Forging a good rtionship with the ck Wind Mountains would not


    do him any harm.


    Duncan bent down and gave Mireille a quick peck on her cold lips


    before he straightened up and headed out with Peter.


    After the tent p lowered again, Mireille blinked. A brief hint of rity


    returned to her eyes.


    She massaged her stiff face and got up to gaze at the white-colored package hanging from the tent’s


    walls.


    The ghoul overlord stood beside it.


    Mireille gulped. Her heart began racing.


    She knew she would die if she failed her mission.


    Perhaps Duncan might not be able to control that.


    Besides…


    Everyone outside now was part of Duncan’s men. Even if she got her hands on the scepter, she still


    would not be able to escape from the watch of the over one hundred elite bodyguards.


    The look in Mireille’s eyes slowly turned zed as she continu staring. If she did not blink, her pupils


    would turn pitch-ck.


    She struggled to her feet and slowly made her way out of the ter


    The head of security immediately walked over and asked, “Is t anything you need, Ms. Tanner?”


    Mireille said woodenly, “Toilet…”


    The head of security snapped his fingers. Immediately, two women


    wearing ck-colored leather jackets and frosty expressions on their


    faces walked over.


    They each had a dagger strapped to their waist.


    The head of security said cooly, “Make sure Ms. Tanner is protected. I’m sure you know what will


    happen if she is even slightly injured!”


    There was a double meaning to his words.


    He was asking them to protect her while simultaneously keeping an


    eye on her.


    If Mireille were to escape or be injured, they would be fed to the ghoul overlord.


    The two beautifuldies nodded, solemn expressions on their faces.


    Then, they led Mireille to a single tent they had erected some distance.


    way that served as a toilet.


    away


    Despair washed over Mireille as she gazed at her two impassive


    bodyguards.


    After she entered the toilet, she peeked through the tent’s ps a


    noticed there was a woman stationed both at the front and back


    the tent.


    It was obvious the back entrance was blocked as well.


    As expected of Duncan’s subordinates. They were meticulous.


    Mireille sighed inwardly. Looks like she had to continue waiting for a


    chance.


    Meanwhile…


    Chupter 821


    Duncan and the others were exchanging greetings with the guests.


    from the ck Wind Mountains.


    A total of six people from the ck Wind Mountains had arrived.


    Two had achieved thete Mystique Loyalty Realm, two had achieved

    the mid-Mystique Loyalty Realm, and the remaining two had achieved


    the peak Mystique Loyalty Realm.


    They were led by two individuals. One was a man, while the other was


    a woman.


    The man had tanned skin and was dressed in ck-colored clothing..


    He had a gentle, kind smile on his face.


    The woman had pale skin and was wearing white-colored clothing. The expression on her face was as


    frosty as the fallen snow.


    Both seemed to be in their thirties, and they were ordinary -looking. However, the contrast between


    their fair and dark skin was so obvious that it might cause onlookers to take a second look at them.


    The ck Wind Double Kill, also known as the ck-and-white t had both achieved thete Mystique


    Loyalty realm.


    Rumor in the world of martial arts was that the two had once


    coborated to assassinate an expert who had achieved the


    Profound Oriental Realm.


    “Greetings, esteemed Mountain Lords!”


    The Swordsman bowed to them respectfully.


    Boris did the same, bowing to them in greeting as well.


    Peter was shocked to his very core.
