Of course, he could not voice such suspicion. After all, he was a leader, and if he was not confident, he would never
be able to lead his subordinates to accomplish their tasks.
Desmond turned to look at Pascal. "How long has it been?"
Pascal looked at the array in his hand. "It's been fourteen hours..."
Desmond frowned as he looked at the top of the Vermillion Tune Formation. There were large red letters that
showed '117' on the formation.
The number indicated the progress of the warriors that were carrying out the tasks. At that point, they had
captured 117 people alive.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf they wanted Heartblood, they would need to make sure that the captives were alive. Then, they needed to use
the cruelest methods to obtain as much Heartblood as they could.
Desmond took a deep breath and said in displeasure, "They only got a hundred and seventeen people in fourteen
hours? What are they doing? How did the first day yield so little?! It's not like it's a hard assignment!"
Desmond got angrier as he spoke. His mouth dried up a little as he stared at the Vermillion Tune Formation with
widened eyes.
He looked like he was about to glare a hole into the Vermillion Tune Formation.
Looking at how angry Desmond was, Pascal said in a hurry, "Actually, the results for the first day aren't too bad.
After all, the participants were sent everywhere, dispersed during the first day. The Toman Battlefield is still very
large right now. Even if they want to get more warriors, it's just too far and dispersed. That's why they're
struggling."
Desmond knew that Pascal made sense, but Desmond was just plain unhappy. He felt like they should at least be at
double that number in 14 hours.
117 people were just too few. they had a long way to go until they could reach their goal.
He was incredibly anxious at that moment.
Looking at how things had gone to the wayside, he felt incredibly impatient, but there was nothing he could do
about it. The more anxious he was, the more helpless he felt.
Various thoughts surfaced in his head, and he suddenly thought about something.
Desmond turned to look at Draymond, who was behind Seymour. "Has there been any news on Jack?"
Draymond shook his head. He had two tasks, and one of them was to follow Jack. Even though there was no
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmindication that Jack had signed up for the Toman Battlefield, it was pretty much a guarantee that Jack had entered
and was somewhere on the Toman Battlefield.
Jack was both familiar to them and completely unknown as well.
He was like a timed bomb that could cause their plan to explode at any moment. If he noticed something, no one
knew what he would do. They did not know if he would disrupt their plans!
Draymond's answer was to be expected. After all, it had just been 14 hours.

At that moment, the Jack they were all thinking of was facing a group within some hills. The ones they were facing
were Maxcus' group.
The three of them looked incredibly pale, and even their legs trembled.
Maxcus did not even dare to look at Jack. He was filled with fear and shock.
