WorldNovelChapter 1102
Isaac had barely settled down when he heard movement in the distance-soft footsteps accompanied by some
muttered curses.
He sat up abruptly, squinting in the direction of the noise. From the opposite hill, a group of people was
descending. He could hardly make them out as they were all dressed in black, with one exception-he couldn't
exactly see what color that was, but it was definitely not black.
The curses quickly stopped, as if someone had silenced them.
The distance was still too far, much farther than the group camped nearby. Despite Isaac’s sharp eyes, he
couldn't make out any details. All he could sense was their quick- movements. It seemed they were heading to
meet up with the camped group
Isaac stood up, his expression turning serious. It looked like he wouldn't be running into any strange creatures,
but perhaps a conspiracy was brewing. There was something dark going on, and it looked like they were holding
a woman who had cursed earlier.

He reached behind the donkey and pulled out the sacred firearm Adrian had given him, wiping it off carefully. He
wasn't yet fully proficient with it, but he knew the story-Adrian had laughed for two hours on the mountaintop
when he created it. All the snakes, insects, and rodents in the area had scattered in fear.
Moving silently, Isaac made his way down. However, that weapon alone wouldn't be enough. He had other
weapons on him too.
There were thick bushes along the road, so he crouched down and hid in them, keeping his eyes on the two
groups that were about to merge. He still couldn't make out their faces, though he could roughly tell the
difference between men and women.
As he crawled forward a bit, he suddenly saw a glimmer of light reflecting off something nearby. He looked up
and saw a woman standing on a tree branch, staring anxiously ahead. Probably because she couldn't see clearly
either, she hadn't made any move yet.
That figure... Why did she look so much like Claire, one of Winona’s subordinates?
A cold feeling spread through Isaac’s chest. Winona had left Claire with Carissa. Could the woman the black-clad
group held be his guild junior?
group, his
Isaac immediately tensed, his mind spinning as he counted the people in the gaze fixed on the black-clad figures
drawing nearer. From their footsteps, he could tell how skilled they were in their Lightfoot Skill.
Good God, there must be over a hundred of them! If Carissa had truly been taken, sacrificing his life here
wouldn't be enough. Even after death, Adrian would make sure his corpse was punished.

As Isaac strained to see whether it was indeed Carissa, the branch where Claire stood creaked. He glanced up
and saw Claire preparing to leap down and move forward.
He quickly made ssoft sounds to catch her attention.

Claire whipped around, her eyes scanning the darkness. In the pitch black, she couldn't tell if someone was
hidden in the bushes, nor could she tell if it was friend or foe.

Isaac sprang up and landed lightly on a branch next to her, grasping the tree trunk with his left hand. Claire
stiffened, her body coiled, ready to strike if she suspected it was an enemy.
“Meadow Ridge, Pathfinders Guild's fifth apprentice!” Isaac called softly, identifying himself. Their voices were
low enough that no one would overhear from a distance.
Claire almost cried in relief when she heard it was someone from Meadow Ridge. However, there was no tto
explain further. A group of black-clad figures dragged a woman toward the carriage. The light from the lamps
revealed her face, and Isaac’s heart stopped cold.
It was Violet-Violet Spencer!
Claire quickly filled in the details, “Prince Yuvan’s suicide soldiers took Ms. Spencer. He plans to dishonor her,
ruin her reputation, and force her to marry him.”
The weight of her words hit Isaac hard.
Carissa’s good friend had been captured and was about to be violated. If they didn’t save her, Violet's suffering
would crush Carissa. And if she was heartbroken, Adrian would be furious, which meant Isaac would end up
punished-probably even after death!
