Chapter - 3214

However, Zeke chose not to do so.

If I stopped that arrow, I would give away my abilities. Then, Edurne and the others will have suspicions about me.

Zeke merely used his energy to gently reduce the force of the arrow, ensuring that it would not strike Edurne fatally.

Snap!

The arrow hit its mark accurately, burying deep into Edurne's pale thigh.

Fortunately, Zeke had slowed down the arrow's flight, so Edurne only suffered minor injuries.

Otherwise, that arrow would surely have pierced right through her.

Edurne let out a pained scream and fell to the ground.

However, she maintained her clear headedness,"There's an enemy attack! Hide quickly!"

The three Kush Clan brothers hurriedly dragged Edurne behind a large boulder.

At that moment, more and more arrows began to fly their way. Alta and Cullen drew their longswords, and blocked the incoming arrows, providing cover for Edurne and Tanner to retreat.

All of them managed crawl to safety behind the large boulder.

"Damn it, damn it!"

Tanner gritted his teeth angrily. “It must be Zeke who launched that attack on us."

Edurne cursed, "That despicable scoundrel! He knows that he's no match for us, so he resorts to sneak attacks. What kind of coward is he?"

Cullen added, "That's right! Zeke is no man at all; he's just a cowardly bastard.”

Zeke listened quietly.

He once again entertained the thought of slapping these people to death.

Instead, he calmly said, "I've also heard of Zeke, Rumor has it that he is a very powerful and honorable man. I believe if he wanted to harm us, he would have jumped out and challenged us directly"

The four of them laughed.

"You see, mate, you're young and inexperienced. You're too naive! Do you really think that guy is strong? You're wrong, absolutely wrong! In truth, he merely killed a few strong individuals by resorting to despicable and shameless surprise attacks or underhanded schemes. If they had fought head-on, he would have been defeated long ago."

"That's right, he's a good-for-nothing idiot! A complete and utter waste of space!"

Zeke listened silently.

At that moment, Cullen suddenly said in a soft voice, "Chief, I think this time it really isn't Zeke's doing."

"Why do you say so?" Edurne countered snarkily. "Are you also going to defend him?"

Cullen said, "Look at this arrow. It bears the Kush Clan marking."

Huh?

Edurne stared at the arrow buried in her leg in surprise. Then, she gasped audibly.

"Damn it! What's really going on here? It really is a Kush Clan arrow."

"Which damn fool from Kush Clan is out there killing their own kind?"

Tanner then asked, “Chief, do you think it's possible that Zeke killed Kush Clan men, stole our arrows, and then, deliberately used our arrows to shoot us to trick us into believing that it was our own clansmen who are trying to kill us?"

Edurne nodded. "That must be it. Zeke is just trying to stir up trouble!"

"Hmph, what a despicable and shameless man. How can he even be capable of such terrible actions!"

Zeke stared at them in silent outrage.

At that moment, an icy voice called out from behind the large boulder.

"Edurne Kush, come forth and meet your doom!"

Upon hearing the voice, all their faces drained of color.

"It's Huxley! Damn it! The one who just ambushed us is Huxley!"

"Fighting his own clansmen! By our clan law, he and nine generations of his family must be put to death as punishment!"

"Let's go! We need to have a word with him!"

Swallowing the pain in her leg, Edurne struggled to her feet and walked out from behind the large boulder.

Across them stood nine individuals, each with a bow and arrow slung over their shoulder.

The man standing in the middle was huge. His face was fierce and intimidating. He could be no other than Huxley, the leader of the team.

Edurne glared fiercely at Huxley, "What the hell do you mean by this?"

Huxley chuckled coldly, "What's the meaning of this? Isn't it obvious? I want to kill you!"
