The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 731

"I will think about it and get back to you tomorrow. I want to discuss this with my wife," Sylvester said, and it was a plausible response. Tamia's view would be different, and he can then decide. Erik was grateful Sylvester did not shut him down.

"Meanwhile, Kappa Levi and Wilson have brought the deeds to the properties so we can look through them and have every location searched for the hostages," Marcel said.

It was a good idea, but I doubted it would yield anything. While we waited for the Kappas to bring the documents, my phone rang, and it was a weird number with an eastern area code.

"Hello," I said, answering the phone.

"Leo," I heard Casper's voice, and I was relieved and scared at the same time.

"Max found us, and we are going back to Mountain. He is badly injured, but he will live. I am just calling so you will stop worrying about us. Once we get to Mountain, I will let you know," He said, and as much as I wanted to be happy, I could not shake off the fact that Max was injured.

"May I speak to Max, please," I asked him, and there was silence. Then I heard Max's voice on the phone.

"I guess we can focus now," he said, breathing hard.

"Save your breath," I said quickly, not wanting Max to trouble himself more than he already had.

"Once we get to Mountain, we will tell you; by the way, Yuri is currently in Gad. I heard one of his men discussing it when they thought we had been knocked out. I do not know where, but that is where he is. I will drill Inkabod to get his properties' locations there. Hopefully, it would lead somewhere," Casper said, and I was glad for the news, but I doubted Inkabod would have that information. There is no harm in trying, though.

"What about Gordon?" I asked, and he sighed.

"They killed him. Took off his head completely a few hours ago. They believed he was a liability and must have given a lot away. They believe he was the one that led you to Erik. Apparently, Erik is essential to them. I do not know why, but they do not want Erik working with you. They took off his head completely without remorse. We were in a bunker in Hayland. Imagine them doing that to him on his land. I guess karma came calling," He said, and I already knew why Erik was important. It was because the AgK32 made their ability common.

No one would want that. Their abilities set them apart from others, so for Erik to create a serum that could give others that ability, even if it was for a short period, was unfair. Thanks to the broadcast, they now know where Erik is. No wonder Melvin came for him. We needed to protect Erik.

I hung up and narrated all that Casper had told me. They were all happy for me and wished Max a speedy recovery. He was indeed a true friend. The fact that Max had risked his life to get those people back showed the depth of his heart. I was glad he would be getting his pack back after this. I also hoped to hear good news from Kyle. I did not want any more deaths. Too many lives had been sacrificed already.

"I guess all we have to do is prepare and gather our troops now," Marcel said.

"Meanwhile, let's try to hunt for Yuri. Once he is out, the others will surrender," Erik said, not wanting anyone to die.

"No, Erik. The war must be fought. We do not want a situation where another Yuri will spring up. I plan to wipe all of them out so I can have peace. No more surprises," Sylvester said, and he clearly meant what he said. I was in support too. We needed to wipe Yuri and his cult out, or another bastard would come along seeking revenge, and we couldn't have that.
