Chapter 868 -54: The Man Who Has Both Cats and Dogs!_2
Hera 10 didn’t stay long; after nodding towards Losa 11 as a response, she took big strides to chase after Jason.
Warriors, never easily give up!
I must…
Ah!
The pain struck again; Hera 10’s footsteps faltered, and she staggered, relying on the wall support to prevent herself from falling to the ground.
What’s going on?
Why are there dogs and cats barking again?
And this time, it’s clearer than before.
The Hera Family’s secret grounds.
The blazing magma flowed like rivers.
Numerous dark peaks floated above the magma, connected by iron chains each a hundred meters in diameter.
A group of people was moving across them.
A young lady, resembling Hera 10, led at the front, followed by eight other ladies with strikingly similar faces.
Clearly, these ladies were all sisters.
"Sister, do you think mother can succeed?”
Hera 2 asked Hera 1, her spirited face filled with worry.
"Mother will definitely succeed.”
"Don’t forget, mother is the most gifted with ‘Talent’ in the Hera Family for three generations. Even the highly-anticipated little 10 cannot match mother’s ‘Talent’.”
"So, mother will surely succeed.”
Hera 1 spoke with certainty, her eyes full of confidence.
Such confidence naturally infected her surrounding sisters.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
But Hera 2’s brow was still furrowed.
"Did you sense something?”
Hera 1 whispered, asking her sister.
The ‘Hera Family’ was a family of warriors, this was universally acknowledged, but in every generation, there would always be one or two exceptions; their warrior blood remained, but in some aspects they were even stronger.
Talent!
The ‘Hera Family’s records referred to this ability as such.
The ability to sense certain special things.
It could also turn misfortune into fortune.
Hence, those with such talents generally became leaders of the ‘Hera Family’.
The previous generation’s leader was their mother, possessing such talent, she led the ‘Hera Family’ through numerous crises.
And this generation?
There were two exceptional bloodlines that rarely appeared.
Hera 2 and Hera 10.
Also, it was precisely because of this, Hera 10 was able to quickly access the family’s core secret techniques; otherwise, even within the ‘Hera Family’, there would be tests upon tests.
"I feel Hera 10 is in danger, but it also seems not like
"Very chaotic.”
"And
Hera 2 didn’t finish speaking, her expression turned strange.
"And what?”
Hera 1 pressed for an answer.
"And, I faintly hear some kind of beast’s roar.”
Hera 2 replied.
Facing her older sister, Hera 2 had no intentions of concealing anything; she paused briefly before continuing: “I cannot determine which beast’s roar it is, I can only be sure it’s a beast’s roar. As for more? I am unable to sense.”
"Is that so?”
"Let’s set that aside for now.”
"The matter at hand is the most important!”
"It will decide our family’s future!”
After pondering for a moment, Hera 1 made a decision.
The remaining eight sisters had no objections.
Without their mother, they always held their eldest sister in the highest regard.
The group of nine continued forward.
Walking on the vast iron chains as if on flat ground, fast as galloping horses, not only because the chains were incredibly thick, but also because they were all too familiar with this place.
Every two weeks, they had to bring their mother food and water.
Up until three years ago.
That time, their mother reached a crucial moment and decided to close off this place for three years.
That’s why the ‘Hera Family’ had become more reserved.
Everything would wait until after mother succeeded.
As for Hera 10?
She was an exception.
An exception within the ‘Hera Family’.
The fast-moving nine people quickly went from one end of the chain to the top of a dark peak.
This was a hub!
To reach the location where their mother was, they had to pass through three similar hubs.
Just as they were about to pass through—
Boom, rumble, rumble!
Like thunder, a roaring sound echoed throughout this space, the normally placid flow of lava now churned into towering waves a hundred meters high.
The solid black mountains began to tremble.
The links connecting to the peaks started to sway.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Amidst such noises, the faces of Hera 1 and the other eight people turned pale.
It wasn’t that they were cowardly.
As daughters of the ‘Hera Family,’ none of them were faint-hearted. It was just that the sudden anomaly beneath the earth was too abrupt, leaving them all disoriented.
Fortunately, the disturbance soon dissipated.
Everything returned to its original state.
All the daughters of the Hera family, except for Hera 2, heaved a sigh of relief.
Especially when they saw a figure approaching from the distance.
That figure did not walk on the chains but instead leapt through the air to land in front of them.
"Mother Superior!”
Everyone bowed in salutation.
As the first daughter, although Hera 1 did not have special Talents, her status was indeed special. After saluting, she raised her head to look at her mother and asked, “Did you succeed?”
Hera, a lady who looked like a twenty-year-old girl yet was actually over fifty.
She possessed the Hera Family’s inherited athletic build and stature, without much adornment on her body, just leather armor, a shortsword, and a spear. Like her daughters, she tied her golden hair high atop her head, but unlike them, Hera chose to wear a golden hairband as a symbol of her status.
"Mhm.”
Hera nodded.
At once, all nine daughters revealed smiles of joy.
But soon they realized that their mother was not pleased.
"Mother Superior, what happened?”
Hera 1 asked.
"It’s nothing. I just suddenly discovered that there are two individuals who have far surpassed me. One of them is even of a younger generation. That individual
Hera wanted to say something about the person in question but ultimately shook her head.
Some things the daughters were not supposed to know.
They were too far from that level.
Even she was just barely touching it.
But that was enough!
It was horribly enough!
That indistinct feeling from before had nearly driven her to desperation.
It was simply too terrifying.
It was an existence that went beyond her current understanding.
This made Hera both fearful and vigilant, but also a bit curious.
She couldn’t help but ask,
"Did you hear any cats or dogs barking?”
…
Jason followed the ‘scent’ and arrived at the place where Donna had once lingered.
It was a residence.
The bedroom bed had bedding, there was food in the refrigerator, and the kitchen showed signs of use.
The living room rug also bore traces of someone lying down.
New novel chapters are published on freewёbn૦νeɭ.com.
Based on these clues, Jason was certain that these must be where Donna settled after leaving the Game Mansion.
"The bedroom was Donna’s dwelling. The living room should have been used by her subordinate.”
Jason surmised, furrowing his brows slightly.
The information before him was consistent with what he had searched before.
It all pertained to Donna and her subordinate.
But!
Was it only Donna and her subordinate ‘they’ referred to?
Or more precisely, are they the only two people in District F?
Obviously, that was impossible!
For a plan of such magnitude, how could there only be two people?
"Were the traces cleaned up?”
"Were the remaining people concealed?”
Contemplating these questions, Jason flared his nostrils.
He hoped to pick up more ‘scents’ that had spread out.
Unfortunately, in enclosed spaces such as this room, where there’s no airflow, scents can linger.
But as soon as one leaves the confined space, the scents quickly disperse.
For a short time, Jason could track them.
For such a long duration?
Jason fell short.
However, Jason began pacing back and forth in the room.
He always felt as if he had overlooked something.
Thud, thud, thud!
While Jason was deep in thought, a series of loud footsteps came closer, and the next moment, Hera 10 appeared at the doorway.
The door was open, and Jason looked up to see Hera 10.
Instantly, Jason’s eyes brightened.
