Gu Chaoyan exchanged a glance with the sorcerer and then with Gary, deeming it an opportune moment.
The Five Elements Clan and the Thunder Fire Clan could prepare for a decisive move.
When the Elder Miss of the Huang Clan appeared, Gu Chaoyan had playfully teased Adams. That very teasing made her see an advantage in the presence of the Elder Miss.
Now…
Not only could they seize the chance to strike and flee, but they could also take the Elder Miss of the Huang Clan as a hostage.
Gary and the sorcerer affirmed their readiness.
Gu Chaoyan signaled to Adams, and both nodded in agreement.
Taking the initiative, Gu Chaoyan acted first, with Adams following suit. Gu Chaoyan secured Camilla’s neck with a tie and positioned an arrowhead against it. “Don’t move, or I will kill you.”
Camilla, suddenly bound, left the Huang clan members in shock, unsure of how to react.
On the contrary, Camilla remained composed. “Why? Is Tribe Chief Adams your lover?”
“It’s commendable to be so daring and decisive. You truly possess courage.”
“No,” Gu Chaoyan coldly refuted. “I do not have this kind of bad taste.”
“You!” Camilla displayed clear anger. She struggled briefly but found it futile, so she ceased resisting. “Tell me, what do you want? I’ll meet your demands. The lives of your clansmen? I can release them.”
Camilla felt secure. Even within the Huang Clan’s domain and in the hands of others, she believed nothing dire would happen to her. The Huang Clan had too much at stake.
“No,” Gu Chaoyan firmly rejected.
“Then what are you?” Camilla inquired. “If there’s truly no other option, I’ll choose a man among my people who suits your preference. I’ll hand him over to you.”
“I want everyone here to leave the mountain safely,” Gu Chaoyan a.s.serted.
“That’s impossible,” Camilla replied bluntly. “Even as the Elder Miss of the Huang Family, I’m not worth the lives of so many people. If the Huang Family leader desires these individuals, I can release some, but not all of them,” she stated directly.
“It won’t work,” Camilla continued. “Even if you tie me up.”
“Really? I disagree.” Gu Chaoyan smiled and instructed, “Gary, take action!”
Gary led the Five Elements Clan and the Thunder Fire Clan, armed with bows and arrows, attacking the Huang Clan members. Before they could reach them, they were shot down.
“Descend the mountain!” Gu Chaoyan ordered.
In this critical situation, individuals from all races sprinted downhill with all their might.
Camilla couldn’t remain pa.s.sive either.
Tricking all these people into returning to the Huang Clan was challenging. If they all departed at once, the Huang Clan’s elaborate plan would crumble.
Camilla initiated an attack, but Gu Chaoyan managed to fend her off.
Rather than continuing the argument, Camilla released a signal flare to alert the Huang Family.
Then, she fled.
Gary considered chasing her, but Gu Chaoyan halted him. “Stop, it’s futile.”
“She was calm because she’s skilled at escaping danger. Trying to catch her would be in vain. You might even put yourself in jeopardy,” Gu Chaoyan cautioned.
“Let’s run quickly. The Huang Clan is descending. We might not be able to escape.”
