Chapter 676: Mask 2

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Garen did not reply, he just picked up the mask and observed it carefully.

"The mask is real, but…" The potential power inside had all been sucked away.

This discovery made Garen’s heart jolt slightly, this meant that someone other than the Black Uniforms knew about the secret of the potential value.

"Nothing, it’s just not quite what I expected." Garen put down the mask, his expression recovering.

"Then all that’s left now are Lotus Pearl and the information about the remaining masks." Rod’s brow relaxed as he said in a soft voice, "According to our latest information, there is also one in Germany, while investigating, our people found out that there used to be a cannibalistic tree, it’s not as tame as the Snake Tree, instead it’s a truly terrifying Cannibal Tree, we had gotten this information from the famous adventurer Kenna, apparently the mask is buried underneath the Cannibal Tree."

"Kenna?" When Garen heard this name, he instantly thought of that adventurer he had released in the end back in Africa, he had let the few of them go since AG asked him to, and settled the incident with killing Levi and obtaining the Stone Clock of Fortune.

He did not know how Kenna’s friend was related to AG, but the matter ended like that.

"You heard of him?" Rod laughed, "Speaking of which, that Kenna is a pretty interesting fella. He seems to be involved in a lot of legends everywhere."

************************

Bam!

A gunshot.

"Run!!"

In a valley in Germany, two men in camouflage were chasing a man and woman relentlessly.

Of the two, the man had short brown hair, his face covered with scratches and scars. The woman was dressed in skin-tight black clothes, her movements agile as she occasionally ran while plastered to the valley’s mountain walls, like a monkey.

"Damned Mole!" The man panted as he cursed.

He was Kenna, after hearing about the Cannibal Tree in Berlin, his old habit acted up again, and he could not help but give chase, unfortunately, he ended up unearthing an extremely large drug manufacturing organization -- Halo.

After stumbling into Halo’s bounds, he discovered a shocking truth, the true Cannibal Tree was being controlled by Halo, other than drugs, they were actually researching an extremely dangerous air pollutant virus, and this virus was based off the Cannibal Tree’s sap.

After he met a woman working undercover there, Cole, the two of them planned to wreak havoc on the base together, but to their surprise, their plans were discovered first, and now the two of them were on the run.

It took at least a day and a night to reach the nearest town from here, they were surrounded by flat forest floors, and there was surveillance everywhere, so it was practically impossible to escape. Hence, the two of them were in such a tight spot. Faced with the powerful drug cartel, they were just normal people with a little combat skill, so they were no match at all.

Bang bang bang!!

Three consecutive shots rang out, and Kenna dodged by the slightest of hairs, rolling onto the ground. He then rolled into a crevice in the mountain wall, after Cole helped him up, they darted into a cave in the wall, and disappeared quickly.

Of their pursuers, Mole, who was in the lead, reloaded his gun, his eyes sweeping the quiet valley like a hawk. These woods looked like a normal forest, and was the left-most part of the valley, there was also a small stream nearby, gurgling away.

He could barely see anyone at all, so he gripped a pendant hanging in front of his chest, and closed his eyes.

After a moment, he opened his eyes abruptly.

"Over there! Let’s go!" He ordered at his subordinate next to him.

The other person followed closely without a word.

Mole was the strongest captain in Halo, he was immensely skilled in tracking, and that was also his foundation to stay relevant in the organization.

The two of them had been chasing Kenna and Cole for half a month now, twisting back and forth, and now they had been led into the valley by those two, playing hide and seek for so long. It was practically an insult to his reputation in the organization.

Kenna and Cole hid in the cave, carefully and quickly spraying a small bottle of custom-made liquid to mask the scent they were emitting.

"Guess we’ve temporarily avoided Mole’s tracking, his tracking is based on the scent particles in the air, since we’re hiding it to this extent, we definitely won’t be found."

The woman Cole said quietly.

The two of them were pressed against each other tightly in the small crevice in the stone wall, and they used a large stone plank to fill up the entrance to the area, this was also a result of Kenna’s being inspired by the Stone Clock of Fortune incident.

The two of them were pressed tightly against each other, Cole’s protruding chest pressed into a seductive shape.

Her face was red as she met Kenna’s eyes unknowingly.

"Who knows how long we have to stay here…" Kenna tried to make small chat, the two of them had supported each other through many life-and-death situations over the past few days.

"Mole will soon send large parties out searching here…" Cole said quietly.

Their breaths were about to touch. Cole could clearly feel Kenna slowly bulging down there, and her face grew even redder.

"There must be a way… as long as we…" Before Kenna could finish, Cole blocked his mouth with hers.

Their tongues touched, madly intertwining.

Their interactions over the past few days had long since bred an admiration for the other in both their hearts, Kenna’s ability to joke even in the face of life and death, and his calm demeanor, as well as Cole’s determination and flexibility in the face of adversity, had both become the most attractive traits in each others’ eyes.

After some tossing and turning, the two of them hugged each other tightly in the cramped space, their clothes falling rapidly, the bra strap snapping outright, as though time was slowing down.

Kenna seemed to have returned to the most unforgettable time in his life, when the love of his life was still alive, he hugged Cole in his arms tightly, and pushed himself in deeply, merging the two into one.

The pants that should have been intense were suppressed in the crevice.

Mmgh!

Cole could not help a groan at that sudden force.

Their sweat mingled together, spreading everywhere together with the smell of that custom-made liquid.

After goodness knew how long. The area in the crevice fell silent again.

The two of them lay together in each others’ embrace.

"I won’t be scared even if I died the very next moment…" Cole said quietly.

After Mole and his boss found out about the Cannibal Tree’s secret, they sent out many elites with special powers, Mole was just one of them, but his body was much stronger than average people’s. It seemed that he had been strengthened by the virus obtained from the Cannibal Tree. This virus was terrifyingly contagious, and all who were infected had to obey the root of it all, the mother. Meanwhile, the one who absorbed and infected the mother, was none other than Mole’s boss, the boss of the entire drug cartel Halo, Allen Hill. And Halo seemed to be related to a very famous international group as well.

"Don’t worry, there must be a way…" I will never let the virus spread! Kenna comforted Cole, his gaze finally turning determined.

Cole’s mission was to investigate the Cannibal Tree’s general location, and to destroy the root of the virus. That was her job as a spy of the international police. It was also her revenge for her older brother’s death at the hands of Halo.

"There’s no way, unless we find the source of the virus, the Cannibal Tree, it doesn’t matter how many samples we destroy."

The two of them had considered many plans, and destroyed many of Halo’s samples of the virus. But they still could not prevent even more samples from being shipped all over the world in anticipation of some dastardly plot.

After they were silent for a long time, Kenna hugged Cole tightly in his arms.

"There’s no choice, looks like we have to go to that person." Kenna said heavily, "To be honest, unless we have no choice, I really don’t want to approach that person."

He recalled his experience last time, with the mysterious AG, the ancient witchcraft, the attack of the strange beasts, and that powerful man who eventually killed the Levi, that leader of the militia, powerful and brutal, dangerous and terrifying.

If it weren’t for the little connection he had with AG, he would have died at that man’s hands long ago.

That man would surely be very interested in the Sleepless Faces… that legendary antique of old.

Kenna decided. Even if he knew it was dangerous to make contact with that person, it was for Cole, he could not just watch her die. If he could stop her revenge, he just had to help her with all he had!

In the incident with the Stone Clock of Fortune, he was chased to the edge of his life by that man, that was practically a nightmarish monster, so scary it made him shake!

Then he thought about the Halo boss, Allen Hill, the monster who had turned himself into something neither man nor ghost.

"We have no other choice now, although I really don’t want to approach that person, now he’s our only hope." Kenna took out his satellite phone, quickly searching up the number he wanted to forget the most.

"Who are you talking about?" Watching Kenna’s movements, Cole frowned slightly. Halo was the most mysterious and strongest organization in Germany, they controlled the number one mercenary group in Germany, and was even more powerful and mysterious than the Bailey Group and the others in second and third place. What other organization could match up to such a power? And one in Germany, no less?

"Don’t worry." Kenna did not elaborate. He just wrote a long and detailed message, explaining everything simply, emphasizing the Cannibal Tree and the Sleepless Faces as the two key terms, and then looking at that number, he pressed ‘send’ hard.

Soon enough, the words ‘Successfully Sent’ appeared.

Kenna eased his breathing, and began to wait quietly.

**********************

The outskirts of Berlin

Inside a study in a mansion

Garen sat beside the table, looking at the screen on his phone, a hint of a smile on his face.

There was a recently received message indicated on his phone, with an unknown sender.

He picked up the phone, and upon reading the contents of the message, his smile deepened.

"Looks like this is a great chance to intervene…"

"Oh?" Rod looked confused.

Garen handed Rod the phone, and within ten minutes, they found out whose number it was sent from.

"The sender is Kenna, it’s his satellite phone." Rod received the information from his subordinate, and said solemnly as he put down the phone.

"Although I don’t know where he got my number, but… regardless of the method, as long as we achieve our goal…" Garen laced his fingers.

"We’ve determined the location, do you want to go there?" Rod raised his head to look at Garen.

"Of course."
