Chapter 2478
''What a pleasant surprise to come across such beauty in this sh*thole, '' said the bald headed man
with a loathsome grin, with his eyes practically glued onto Lillian. The Illen who stood behind him
fallowed and began sllliling evilly as well. The bald-headed leader was called Earle Warren. He was
in charge of the Snow Wolf Adventurists, which was at best a glorified name for a group of bandits.
Countless groups had been sent into the Wild Deserted Secret Region by different forces across the
Nine Continents recently, Earle decided to bring his men with hiill and try his luck as well. But before
encountering any beasts on their way, they managed to coille across Lillian and her subordinates
instead.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThough Lillian was deeply disturbed by the eager eyes that were focused on her, she knew that
she was in no position to do anything about it. She was the leader and naturally, the strongest of
the Blood Thorn Mercenary Team, ranking at level one Martial King. Even so she was powerless
before the men in front of her. Many of these men ranked at various levels of Martial King, and
with the bald-headed man ranking as high as level three Martial King, Lillian and her men
wouldn't stand a chance against them.
''Brother!'' Otis forced a Sillile and fawned over Earle trying to be on his good side. ''We are all here
for the saille purpose of hunting the beasts, we should look after one another...'' Otis's expression at
this time was filled with modesty and adulation without a trace of his previous disdain towards
Darryl. Before he could finish, one of the subordinates of Earle interrupted.
''Who do you think you' re calling your brother?'' A muscular man strode over fiercely before slapping Otis in
the face without any warning. ''Stop acting like we know you or something. ''
Snap! Otis was sent spinning in the air before he landed on the ground with a pained cry. He covered his face
helplessly. "what did I do wrong? All I did was speak,' he thought.
Earle stared down at Lillian and the others as he scanned them over once again and sneered. ''From the looks
of you, it seems like you were in battle not too long ago. Which beasts have you killed?''
''If you've managed to get your hands on inner cores, you better hand thein over before things get nasty,'' the
inan next to Earle shouted.
Lillian and her inen shared looks of reluctance and anger. 'A bunch of bandits. We worked so hard to finish off
those Black Sand·pythons, why should we hand the inner cores over to thein?' they thought to theinselves. One of
the Blood Thorn ineinbers replied carefully, ''Brothers, we couldn't possibly be capable of killing any beasts. We
were just here out of curiosity. We did coine across soine Black Sand Pythons earlier, but we ran after failing

Lillian and the others nodded frantically in agreement. Earle scowled in response, not trusting them.
''Brothers.'' It was then when Otis abruptly pointed at Darryl and said, ''This guy right here is familiar
with the area, he knows where to find those Black Sand Pythons.'' Otis's eyes flashed cunningly. He
knew that Earle and his men wouldn't let thern go easily without getting something out of them first,
so he might as well try to divert their attention elsewhere so that he and the others could escape.
Darryl was dumbfounded for a moment. He couldn't help but to cast an irritated glance at Otis.
'Sh*t, how did I get dragged into this conversation? Quite a cunning fellow, he is. Is he trying to use
me as a decoy?'
