Chapter 364 Persuasion

“Right, if you don’t believe me, I still have their amulets. They also asked me to persuade you to stop now.”

As Kapak spoke, he took out several wooden amulets strung together from his body. These were traditional amulets of the native people of the New World, each tribe and even every individual had their own unique characteristics.

These amulets were genuine. After Adele used her ability to force the three s*icide bombers to reveal their will to survive and take them away, Dorothy did not simply let it go. Instead, she secretly tracked their whereabouts and instructed Kapak to find them when he arrived later. While helping them remove the bombs, Kapak was also asked to guide them to the designated hotel and promised to bring them back home afterwards.

Originally, Dorothy wanted Kapak to persuade these three people to come here and persuade Sado and others. However, due to the overwhelming desire for survival in their hearts, they were afraid that Sado would retaliate against them and dared not come. Kapak had no choice but to ask for their amulets as proof and let them leave.

Under the firelight of the fireworks in the sky, everyone clearly saw the tribal markings on the amulets, which matched those of the three martyrs!

Seeing the amulet in Sado’s hand, the natives present were momentarily surprised. They exchanged glances with panic in their eyes, each looking helpless.

Sado always used the three martyrs as role models in his speeches to other natives, using words to make everyone regard the three volunteers as benchmarks, encouraging his followers to learn from them.

But now, the revenge overture that should have been started by the three martyrs’ sacrifice disappeared. Kapak held the three amulets and claimed that they had given up their mission and were preparing to return. This had a significant impact on those who followed Sado.

The power of a role model is immeasurable; it can be infinitely positive or negative. Since Sado set the three s*icide bombers as role models for everyone, if the role model itself deviated from its intended purpose, the consequences could not be predicted.

“It’s fake! A liar! Everything he says is a lie! Kum’s hatred cannot be easily shaken! It must be the white-skinned demons who found out our plan and brought them here! Now they’re using this traitor to deceive us with their amulets! Don’t listen to this traitor! Let’s k*ll him first, then sh**t at the crowd! To avenge Kum and the others!”

Seeing the wavering among the crowd, Sado urgently shouted, pointing at Kapak and issuing an attack command to his followers. Those followers hesitantly raised their guns.

Seeing his fellow countrymen raising their guns, Kapak was not scared. He took out a small pipe from his pocket and calmly said,

“I’ve told you, if I were a traitor, I would already be coming up with the guards of the white-skinned ones. I came here to stop you, not just on my own will, but also with the will of my teacher, Uta. Teacher Uta doesn’t want everyone to continue this foolish thing. He wants me to bring everyone back.”

After Kapak spoke, there was another commotion among the natives. Everyone began whispering about “Uta” and “Great Shaman Uta.”

In the native tribes of the New World, shamans were the most respected figures. Whether it was the chief or the warrior, all natives of the New World deeply respected shamans, who were the guides for all tribes.

In the New World, shamans also had ranks. Each tribe usually had one shaman, but the existence of a Great Shaman was extremely rare. It was rumored that many Great Shamans roamed far and wide, and only a few stayed with certain tribes irregularly. Uta was one of them, and Great Shaman Uta was one of the well-known Great Shamans among the eastern tribes.

Shamans had high prestige among the natives of the New World, and Great Shamans even more so. Therefore, upon hearing Uta’s name, everyone was even more shaken. Seeing this, Kapak continued,

“If you don’t believe that I was sent by Teacher Uta, look at this. This is his pipe. Teacher Uta can make long-used tools part of himself, extending parts of his soul into it. Teacher Uta gave this to me to persuade you to come back.”

Kapak said, then lit the tobacco in the pipe with a match, taking a few puffs before exhaling a cloud of smoke. The smoke exhaled by Kapak gathered in the air under some mysterious force, autonomously forming the face of an elderly man, which was exactly Uta’s face.

“U…Uta Shaman…”

Seeing the face formed by the smoke, Sado widened his eyes, his voice trembling as he spoke. His expression changed for the first time since seeing Uta. The face formed by the smoke sighed lightly and then spoke.

“Come back, Sado… Bring all your people back while there’s still time… Go home…”

With a calm tone, Uta addressed Sado and the others. Just as everyone was about to respond, something unexpected happened.

Behind the crowd, three black shadows darted out, scattering the smoke containing Uta’s face in the air and charging at Kapak at high speed. Upon closer inspection, they were three masked men who had been standing behind the natives all along!

These three men were none other than the observers sent by the Eight Pinnacle Nest to monitor the actions of the natives. They had silently watched the natives’ movements without making a sound.

Their task was simple: ensure that these natives attacked the crowd at the designated time, causing chaos to cover up the real assassination operation by the Eight Pinnacle Nest, and take the blame afterward.

These three observers saw that their original plan to monitor Sado and others was going smoothly, but they never expected Kapak to suddenly appear. Since Kapak was also a native of the New World, they initially did not act but instead watched Sado and Kapak interact, thinking Kapak was a follower of Sado who had returned after falling behind.

Unable to understand the Spiritual Seal Language, they couldn’t understand the conversation between Sado and Kapak. After watching for a long time, they realized that Kapak wasn’t returning to the group but was actually opposing Sado. Moreover, for some reason, Kapak was making the current natives hesitant and inclined to give up their mission.

Although they didn’t understand what they were saying, from the scene, it seemed that the natives were losing their fighting spirit, and their mission might fail because of this newly appeared native youth. So, the three of them quickly decided to act and immediately decided to k*ll Kapak first.

They were all apprentices of “Shadow,” with much faster speeds than ordinary people, so killing one Kapak would be no problem. Kapak, as an apprentice of “Silence,” couldn’t fight against one “Shadow” head-on, let alone three.

Thus, holding knives, the three observers rushed through the crowd at high speed toward Kapak, as if he could be killed at any moment.

Just then, a strange sound echoed from the darkness.

“Miao~”

Under this strange sound, a faster shadow leaped down from the rooftop, attacking the three attackers. The three relied on their superb reaction speed to dodge, but one failed to dodge and was knocked down by the sudden attack, letting out a shrill scream.

Startled by the scream, everyone retreated in fear. They then turned their gaze to where the scream came from. Under the light of the fireworks, they saw a black figure bending over a fallen observer. The figure’s claw-like hand pierced the observer’s neck, causing the observer to convulse and eventually lose their life.

After finishing off the prey, the figure slowly lifted its head. People saw a woman’s face half-masked, with glowing vertical pupils behind the mask.

In everyone’s view, Nephnis, who hosted the Wilderness Spirit and wore a black coat, pulled her bl**d-stained hand out of the victim’s neck. She licked the bl**d from her fingers like a predatory beast, then her spiritual cat ears and tail emerged from her head and behind her, her vertical pupils looking at the remaining two observers as if they were prey.
