Read Hero of Hearts Chapter 7492 Not Escape, But Counterattack
Victoria already had a bad feeling.
It wasn’t that he didn’t believe in the Great Elder’s strength, but recently, when facing mysterious enemies, his luck had been extremely bad. In countless secret battles, he had always been the one on the losing end.
Not only were the four nobles defeated, but the assassins’ strongholds were also destroyed one by one. Most frustratingly, despite devoting countless manpower and resources to searching everywhere, they couldn’t find any clues.
Wu Bolin had clearly gotten into a fight with someone in Antarctica, so he instinctively felt that Wu Bolin was likely in great danger.
After all, he didn’t know how many people the other party had, but he was very familiar with Wu Bolin’s situation. When Wu Bolin went to Antarctica, he was alone, and some time ago, he was nearly hunted down and surrounded by the US military. All of these circumstances indicated that Wu Bolin’s situation was likely fraught with danger. Now that he was fighting with another cultivator, he was likely in great danger.
At that moment, Wu Tianlin said with a puzzled expression, “My Lord, the Great Elder went to Antarctica alone, and even asked the entire Japanese scientific expedition team to help him explore Antarctica. There were already many suspicious elements in this matter. Now it has been proven that there is more than one cultivator in Antarctica besides the Great Elder. Do you think there is something good in Antarctica that attracted them?”
Victoria nodded, her expression serious, and said, “You’re right. Wu Bolin definitely knows some legends about Antarctica, and it’s very likely he knew them before he went into seclusion. That’s why he chose Antarctica without hesitation when I sent them to seek opportunities.”
As she spoke, Victoria added, “It seems like Wu Bolin isn’t the only one who knows this legend; there are other cultivators as well.”
At that time, Victoria was already feeling quite anxious.
He knew there must be a great secret in Antarctica, but he was still completely confused about what that secret was. He couldn’t wait to find out what made Antarctica so attractive to Wu Bolin and the other cultivators.
Wu Tianlin noticed Victoria’s hesitation and immediately stepped forward, asking in a low voice, “Your Majesty, should we send the other two elders to Antarctica to investigate?”
Victoria frowned and thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, “No, I suspect Wu Bolin is most likely dead. Sending them there will only disrupt morale. Besides, it’s difficult to break through the Roaring Forties now. Even if we go, we’ll have to wait until the Antarctic winter is over. Remember, don’t reveal this to anyone. If Wu Bolin hasn’t returned by the time the Antarctic winter is over, I’ll go to Antarctica myself. If he’s indeed dead, I’ll announce to the other two elders that he has defected, and I won’t mention anything else.”
Wu Tianlin’s expression hardened, and he immediately said respectfully, “Yes, Your Majesty, I understand.”
Victoria sighed and said somewhat sadly, “Okay, you can go now. Let me enjoy the peace.”
“Okay sir!”
Wu Tianlin respectfully withdrew, and Victoria let out a long sigh of despair, rubbing her nose hard.
Although he appeared calm and collected in front of Wu Tianlin, he was actually extremely worried. Wu Bolin was the number one person in the Warriors’ Den Society after himself, and he was extremely powerful. If he truly died, it would not only be a huge loss to the Warriors’ Den Society, but it would also prove that other cultivators in the world were even stronger than him.
The only uncertainty was whether the cultivator who fought Wu Bolin in Antarctica was the same person or faction as the cultivator who had been secretly opposing him all this time. If so, it would be adding insult to injury!
…
In fact, news about Antarctica does not attract widespread public attention.
Most people don’t care what the appearance of lightning means, because they will never set foot on this continent in their lives.
This news only appeared on a few news apps for a few hours before being covered by other news and hardly anyone paid attention to it anymore.
While Maria Lin is still worried about Charlie, Charlie finally returns to the Nordic research station.
When his figure appeared under the aurora light in the research station courtyard, Maria Lin was overjoyed and immediately got up and rushed to the gate.
Jeremiah Yun and Song Ruyu also noticed Charlie’s figure, and with surprise and joy, they immediately followed Maria Lin to the door.
When they saw Charlie, their beautiful faces were filled with shock and sadness.
No one expected Charlie to end up in such a sad state.
Her clothes were covered in scars, practically just countless pieces of cloth hanging from her body. Fortunately, the front was a little better, at least enough to cover her vitals.
Maria Lin quickly grabbed Charlie’s hand and asked anxiously, “Young Master, what happened? Are you hurt?”
Charlie smiled and said, “I was a little injured, but I’ve completely recovered with my internal energy. It’s just that I can’t take off these clothes.”
Maria Lin’s face showed sadness, and she quickly pulled Charlie and said, “Young master, come in quickly. I will prepare bath water and new clothes for you.”
Charlie nodded and said gratefully, “Then thank you, Miss Lin.”
Maria Lin quickly said, “Young master, you don’t need to be so polite to me.”
After Maria Lin finished speaking, she immediately turned around and went to the bathroom.
Only research stations in resource-poor countries like Scandinavia can afford to provide small bathrooms in such remote locations; most more pragmatic countries can afford showers at best.
Charlie knew he looked a bit messy and unsuitable, so he took a shower to clean himself up and changed into clean clothes before returning to the hall. The three women were waiting there, clearly very curious about what had happened to him.
Maria Lin even brewed a cup of fresh tea and said softly to Charlie, “Young master, please have a cup of tea, and also tell me what happened to Miss Yun and Miss Song.”
Charlie nodded and smiled as he dried his wet hair with a towel.
He sat down next to Maria Lin, took a cup of tea from her, took a sip, and said to the three of them, “On my way south, I met an elder from the Warriors’ Den Guild. We had a fierce battle, but fortunately, I survived.”
Jeremiah Yun exclaimed in shock, “The elders of the Shattered Qing Guild?! Any one of those three elders is much stronger than the four lords. It’s hard to believe that Master Wade was able to escape the clutches of those elders!”
Charlie laughed, “This isn’t an escape attempt, this is a counterattack! I’ve already killed that elder!”
After hearing that, Jeremiah Yun and Song Ruyu were even more shocked.
They knew the status and strength of the elders of the Warriors Den Society, but they never expected that Charlie would be able to kill them!
Maria Lin was not surprised.
Because he knew very well that in this situation, if they met on a narrow path, neither Charlie nor the other party would be willing to fight to the death. Since Charlie was able to return alive, it proved that the other party had definitely been killed by Charlie.
Jeremiah Yun asked instinctively, “Master Wade, why did the elder from the Corrupt Qing Guild come here? Could it be that he also came to chase the aurora?”
Charlie shook his head and smiled, then said, “No, this person is looking for spirit stones. There is a cave left behind by a cultivator from before the end of the Dharma era, which contains a number of precious spirit stones. He must have accidentally learned about the legend of the hidden spirit stones, which is why he came all the way here.”
