Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 717: Settle Accounts After Autumn

The Blood Gate Stronghold itself was equivalent to a city, and about 40,000 words lived in this stronghold. People work, live, fight, and pursue their dreams. Star ships were docked on the nearly block-sized elevating platform of the stronghold, following the stronghold's instructions. Russen's Yan Mo occupied almost half of the apron. The ships were indeed magnificent, but in reality, the ones occupying the apron the most were the teams that came to greet him.

From the stronghold manager, he was also a general from the Death Spreading Corps. There were hundreds of officials, nobles, and soldiers waiting in front of the ship, waiting for Russen to appear.

In comparison, the starships of the Hunting Group were much more deserted. Apart from a few maintenance teams that routinely inspected the docked starships, Allen and the others did not receive much attention. Although two of them were born in Bethcote, there were many people in the fortress who needed more attention than them. Even the soldiers who were guarding the fortress had extremely cold expressions.

Alan frowned. Since he was reporting to the stronghold, at least the military needed to send an escort. There wasn't a single person left. Alan didn't even know where to report and register in such a large stronghold.

Suddenly, Raynor hit his waist. Alan raised his head and a few flying cars headed in their direction. They stopped not far from the apron. There was a Gryphon on the flying car, and it was Beth Cod's emblem.

"Hi, Ellen. And Rainer, I have to drink more tonight when I see you two." Horn's eldest son, Rena's father, jumped off the flying car like a bear. The big man stepped on the ground and trembled slightly. Then, he opened his arms and laughed loudly as he walked forward.

"Uncle Roddy." Alan happily greeted.

Roddy gave him a manly hug, and the exaggerated strength that could almost bend steel told Alan his passion from another angle. Surrounded by the stench of sweat and embraced by his muscles, Alan had a helpless expression, but his heart was warm. Roddy didn't have any magnificent words, but he showed him the simplest of intentions.

After letting go of Alan with great difficulty, Roddy laughed loudly and walked towards his son. Reina subconsciously took a step back, glanced at Lucy behind him, and cursed in his heart. As a son, he knew very well what Roddy, this daddy, would do next. In short, there wouldn't be a hug like Ellen's. Sure enough, halfway through the journey, Roddy still had a smile on his face, but he had already punched Reina.

His fist moved like lightning, and his fist sounded like thunder. Ellen was surprised to see Roddy's punch that pulled on the Origin Energy Wind. This was not a greeting, it was simply a killing move on the battlefield. Apart from the lack of killing intent in his punch, Roddy's punch was like it was aimed at a life-and-death enemy. Lei Na's face suddenly turned red, and his Origin Energy instantly reached its peak. He exhaled and crossed his arms to block Roddy's punch.

A muffled sound struck everyone's hearts like a drum. The guards accompanying Roddy were of a lower level. Everyone's faces were red, their bodies swaying, and they almost fell to the ground. However, this powerful punch did not unleash a violent impact as Allen had expected. There was only a wave of air blowing under their feet, but it only spread for less than half a meter. It stopped as if it had collided with an invisible wall. It only climbed up and flipped, disappearing into the air in the end.

The remaining strength of this punch allowed Roddy to restrain himself within a controllable range without harming anyone else.

Reina shook his father's fist and scolded, "Can't you be a little new?"

"What do you know? This daddy wants to see if you've crippled anyone. It looks like you're in good shape. Very good." Roddy grinned, revealing a mouthful of steel teeth that reflected the sunlight, causing Raynor's eyes to ache.

Pushing his son away, Roddy clenched his fists, placed them on his chest, and bowed to Lucy, "Nice to meet you, Your Highness. I hope my family didn't offend you during the frost."

"They treat me well, Mr. Roddy." Lucy smiled sweetly, her dark green eyes full of smiles.

Roddy rubbed his head and said, "That's good. If they dare to provoke you, I'll beat them up." He reached out to pinch Regis's shoulder again. His strength wasn't small, causing him to pinch his teeth. Roddy said, "You're getting stronger too, kid, so I don't have to worry about your daddy."

Then he shouted, "Well, to welcome the three of us back, and to welcome the beautiful and honorable His Highness Lucy, you must have a good motherf*cking meal today. Sileo, scram back and inform the chef that we are going to have a feast."

Roddy's lieutenant, a young man named Sileo, nodded with a smile and wanted to jump on the flying car first. At this moment, a convoy of seven or eight flying cars looked at Alan, Roddy, and the others aggressively, circling around the Dawn. Roddy put away his smile. A cold light flashed in his eyes and he didn't say anything. He just sneered and looked at the cars.

"The Golet barbarians? What are they doing?" Rainer whispered.

Alan naturally didn't know the other party's intentions, but he didn't take it to heart. This was the Blood Gate Stronghold, not to mention Roddy was also here, so the Goliath Clan wouldn't be able to cause any trouble. A black flying car opened first and a few people jumped out. The rest of the flying cars seemed to be guards. Although they did not raise their guns, everyone had a bright rifle behind them. The threat could not be more obvious.

Of course, if the fight really started, these ordinary guards who didn't even have a rank ten didn't put Alan in their eyes, let alone a strong man like Roddy.

"Mr. Roddy, are you here too?"

A middle-aged man laughed out loud in the crowd. He had wild brown hair and was like a lion. Roddy chuckled dryly and did not reply. Instead, he said to Allen and the others, "This is Mr. Toure, the head of the Goliath family. Although he looks heroic, he is just a lowly person."

Alan's expression was strange, but Roddy's words did not lower his voice at all. Not to mention that he could hear it clearly, even the other party could hear it without missing a single word. Sure enough, the surrounding guards' expressions changed, and they were about to touch the rifle behind them. '"What are you doing? Don't you know Mr. Roddy likes to joke? I can still afford a joke."

"Mr. Roddy, don't you think?" He smiled again.

'"Since you said that …" Roddy dug his ears with his fingers and smiled at Yi Fang and the others, "I have no choice but to deal with thick-skinned fellows."

Lucy laughed out loud, and felt that it was out of place, so she had to put on an all-out act of seriousness. Roddy smiled and turned around, "Then Mr. Toure, what can I do for you?"

"Actually, it's just to confirm one thing." Toure smiled and whispered, "Barry."

A man walked out from behind Toure. He was carrying a large sniper rifle on his back. He looked like a sniper. When he saw him, Alan instantly understood what was going on. On Frost Planet, he had encountered a hunting squad on his way back from Chaos Valley to Castellan Rock Base. The team named "Freedom Hunter" attacked him, trying to snatch away the crystal spike core from his backpack, but Allen killed four members, including the Guild Leader.

But at that time, a sniper did not appear, and Alan did not take it to heart. He was now standing beside Toure. When he heard the name "Toure", Alan felt that he was familiar with it. Until now, when he saw Barry, he suddenly remembered that one of the hunters had mentioned the name that day. It was not difficult to guess that this hunting group had something to do with the Goliath family.

"Barry, it's a big deal. You have to look carefully, otherwise, you know what the consequences are!" Tu Lei said in a deep voice.

Barry nodded without hesitation, pointing one hand at Alan and shouting, "It's him, Mr. Toure! It's him who killed all our men and stole our goods! It's this Bescot!"

Toure nodded, a smile flashing across his eyes, but he said solemnly, "Yes, Mr. Roddy. This Mr. Allen of your family not only murdered my men, he also stole what should have belonged to them. I think Beth Cod should give us a satisfactory explanation, won't he?"

Roddy chuckled dryly and turned to look at Ellen, "What did you say?"

"Four members of the Freelance Hunter, including Guild Leader Jon, have indeed died at my hands." Alan said calmly.

'"Look, he admits it. That's easy, Mr. Allen," said Tully, laughing. "I think you're a daring man, too, and you're not going to lose your reputation as a Bescot."

'"Mr. Toure, I haven't finished my sentence yet. Yes, your men died at my hands. It wasn't me who wanted to kill people and steal goods, but Tian Tian is one of yours. I, on the other hand, was just a legitimate counterattack. After all, I'm not generous enough to have a knife on my neck and remain indifferent," said Alan coldly.

Toure's smile stiffened and his expression darkened. "So Beth Cod can also misinterpret the truth. Have you forgotten what honor is?"

"Oh, Mr. Toure's hat is really big." Roddy smiled and said, "Mr. Toure, what evidence do you have to accuse our Ellen of misinterpreting the truth? The clown behind you who jumped out of nowhere is bullshit, if I may say so."

"Roddy, is this what all of you nobles call an explanation?" Toure glared at him angrily.

"Anyway, you can't produce any real evidence. What do you want me to tell you?" Roddy sneered.

Toure tugged at Barry and said, "Barry is the witness. I never thought that the grand noble Beth Cod would ignore the truth like this!"

"Shut up, Toure, don't give me another bite of Bescot. I'm quite happy to accompany you to the end if you want to raise this matter to the height of the family feud." Roddy said disdainfully.7
