Kai watched as several people screamed incessantly from the burns they had suffered and asked coldly, "How did you know where to find me?"
The enormity of Cauldron Peak was unparalleled, and Kai and his group were the last to arrive. Yet, these guys managed to come straight for him from a great distance.
It was clear that these individuals had known about his location in advance.
Several alchemists were shrieking incessantly from being burned, and no one responded to Kai's inquiries at all.
At that moment, Felipe and Freya exchanged glances and swiftly drew their swords.
"Hey, you guys..."
Sigurd was about to speak up, but Felipe and Freya had already rushed forward.
Shortly after, all those alchemists were swiftly slain.
After taking out a few people, Felipe let out a cold huff. "Hmph, these folks were disrespectful to Mr. Chance. With such meager skills, they actually dared to covet the hundred-year offering from the Demon Seal Alliance. How utterly delusional."
Sigurd frowned. "Why did you kill them when Mr. Chance was clearly still questioning them?"
"Those guys wouldn't have spoken up, especially while engulfed in flames. Even if they had wanted to, they wouldn't have had the chance. It would be more merciful to kill them outright. As a fellow alchemist, I couldn't stand by and watch them being burned alive so cruelly."
Freya started her moral discourse again.
Sigurd was at a loss for words.
"All right, they're already dead. Even if they hadn't lifted a finger, these people wouldn't have made it anyway. Let's get going. We only have three days. We can't afford any more delays," Kai said and walked straight ahead.
The others trailed behind Kai and didn't encounter any danger along the way.
As they were halfway up the mountain, they suddenly noticed a light curtain cascading down from the peak, and before it was a vast expanse of level ground.
In this open space, there were quite a few alchemists who had come to a halt, and some were lying on the ground, evidently injured.
After getting closer, Kai discovered that most of these alchemists were from the Epean Alchemist Guild, closely associated with the Boucher and Dupont families. There was also a group of alchemists from other regions.
At that moment, Thaddeus, Ernesto, and Vincent were intensely furrowing their brows as they stared at the light curtain in front of them.
At that moment, someone leaned in toward Thaddeus and whispered, "President Surrey, Kai has arrived."
"What?" Thaddeus turned his head and sure enough, he saw Kai walking toward them with Viola and the others.
"What on earth have Emmanuel and his team been doing? Didn't they find him? How did they let him end up here?"
Ernesto expressed his dissatisfaction.
Vincent said, "Since we're already here, there's no escaping. Our immediate task is to figure out how to break through this light curtain in front of us. If someone else reaches the mountain peak before us and obtains the legacy of the Medicine God, all our efforts will be in vain."
"Don't worry. Even if they obtain the Medicine God's legacy, they shouldn't dream of leaving Medicine God Island."
A cold smirk surfaced on Thaddeus' face as he proceeded to walk toward Kai.
After successfully treating Cedric, Kai became a distinguished guest of Allardland and quite the celebrity too.
Upon seeing Thaddeus, Kai took the initiative to step forward and greet him, "President Surrey..."
After all, he was supposed to assist the Zorn and Zeever families in reaching an agreement with Thaddeus.
Both of them were alchemists from the same place. It would be best if they could reconcile.
"Mr. Chance, I didn't expect you to be heading in this same direction. We really must be destined to meet again," Thaddeus said in a cryptic manner.
Unfortunately, Kai didn't catch on. He glanced at Ernesto and Vincent standing behind Thaddeus and said, "I presume these two gentlemen must be the heads of the Boucher and Dupont families?" "You're right." Thaddeus nodded.
"President Surrey, there's something I've been meaning to discuss with you," Kai said.
