Chapter - 3095

"Do you know the Guardian of Mount Kush?" Theos asked.

Upon hearing that, the young man of Kush Clan instantly perked up and stared at Theos. "The Guardian of Mount Kush? Of course, I do. Karter's my father. He went to the humans to carry out a plan. Why? Have you met him?"

Theos nodded. "Of course, I've met him. In fact, we even formed a team and were virtually inseparable."

"In that case, why didn't my father come with you this time?" the young man asked anxiously.

Theos' expression immediately darkened, his face etched with guilt.

Seemingly realizing something was amiss, the young man added, "Don't tell me something happened to my father...."

Theos nodded. "Ah, it's all our fault. We failed to protect Karter. Zeke Williams was the one

who killed him. That ruthless b*stard..."

In reality, Karter had met his end at the hands of Theos, but

However, the latter clearly couldn't own up to that now, so he blamed Zeke instead.

After hearing the news of his father's death, the young man of Kush Clan exploded with rage. “Ah! That shameless b*stard! I'm going to kill him!'

He howled continuously, his head hung low and his chest heaving.

"Zeke Williams, you're now the sworn enemy of Kush Clan and me, Callan Kush! I swear I won't rest until I have your head!"

Theos quickly comforted the man, "Young man, is your name Callan Kush? Calm down, Callan, and listen to me. Zeke is exceedingly powerful, and I'm afraid you alone won't be his match. Truth be told, not even the combined forces of me and Tiger King were enough. He defeated us all the same. Moreover, he has several aces up his sleeve, like Quinlan Hayes and Aged Ginseng. Dealing with them won't be easy.”

"Our Kush Clan is full of powerful warriors. I alone may not be Zeke's match, but what if we deployed the entire clan? Wouldn't that be enough to take him down?" Callan remarked.

Upon hearing that, Theos chuckled. "Surely, you jest, Callan. First, we can't even be sure if the entire Kush Clan will be mobilized for just one person like you. Second, even if the entire clan is mobilized, can you guarantee that Zeke will be killed? Aren't you worried that this might be a trap set by him to lure you guys out of your hiding? As soon as you enter human territory, they will launch a siege against you."

Slowly but surely, Callan calmed himself down. "Didn't you mention earlier that you have a way to destroy the Dragon's Vein? Tell me more."

Alas, Theos shook his head again. "Callan, this matter is of great importance. It's not something to be taken lightly...."

"Fine," Callan muttered as he waved his hand impatiently. "I shall notify our acting clan leader this instant. By the way, you had better be telling the truth. Otherwise, the acting clan leader will never let you off the hook."

"Acting clan leader?" Theos asked curiously. "Why notify the acting clan leader, though?"

"As I've mentioned, our clan leader is currently in solitary training, and it wouldn't be convenient for him to leave the mountain."

“In that case, may I ask who the acting clan leader of Kush Clan is?" Theos continued.

"Theodore Kush."

Theos instantly broke into a smile. "Ah... So it's my old friend, Theodore. We've fought side by side before and ambushed the humans together. I daresay we've taken down close to a thousand human warriors."

Callan paid no heed to Theos as he turned around and left.

Not long after, he returned with a prestigeful elder in tow.

The elder immediately recognized Theos with just one glance. "It really is you, Theos. Who'd have thought you're still alive?"

A smile crept across Theos' face. "Well, well, well. Who'd have thought you'd become the acting clan leader of Kush Clan, Theodore? In any case, congratulations!"

"All right. Enough with the formalities," Theodore said impatiently. "You can get straight to the point."

"Oh, it's nothing much. I thought I'd drop by and catch up with you."

"There's no need for that. We may have fought side by side in the past, but those were due to the circumstances of the battle. Besides, you betrayed me after that and nearly caused my downfall. There's nothing worth reminiscing about between us," Theodore replied.

"Fine. Since you've put it that way, I shan't explain myself anymore. I'll cut to the chase, Theodore," Theos hurriedly said. "I know that Pietro White, who guards Dragon's Vein, was merely a Celestial Class warrior back in the day. After all this time, he'd at most have achieved Nebula Class. Kush Clan boasts many strong warriors, and you're also considered to have attained Nebula Class. Furthermore, your clan leader claims that no one below the Demi-Emperor Class is his match. With the combined strength of the Kush Clan, it should be easy to eliminate Pietro. Why, then, have you not secured Dragon's Vein?"
