Chapter 888 It’s Her
After getting out of the car, the group of five walked towards the gate.
Two people were standing at the door, a man and a woman, both in their thirties. Gerald estimated that they were both Half-Step Flame Decayers.
The woman had long silver hair, and the man had black hair.
Gerald was secretly surprised. The Half-Step Flame Decayers from the Archaic Tribe were doorkeepers.
“Who are you?” when the two saw Gerald and the others walk over, the man snorted coldly.
“This is Anabel Pierce from the Pierce family in Mullen City. I’m here on behalf of the Pierce family in Mullen City to take part in the trial. This is Orion Pierce, my younger brother, and he is here to report the resources he collected in the City of Phoenix. These three will take part in the trial together with me. They are my family servants” Anabel said in neither a servile nor overbearing manner.
“The Pierce family in Mullen City?” The man frowned. Then he looked at the woman beside him and said, “Go verify.”
The woman nodded. There was something on her wrist that looked like a watch, and she pressed it.
In the next second, a virtual screen appeared in front of her with many things on it. She moved her finger continuously, and soon, Anabel’s appearance was on the screen.
“It is indeed Anabel Pierce. She has reached the level of peak Half-Step Flame Decay and obtained the qualifications to participate in the trial,” the woman said softly.
The man looked at Anabel and shook his head. “This is not where you enter.”
While they were talking, a car stopped not far away. Then a young man, who appeared to be in his twenties. got out of the car with three people.
“A Flame Decayer!” Gerald was slightly surprised and looked at the young man.
The young man was quite handsome. He had sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and a tall and beefy body.
Three people were standing behind him, including two women and one man. The man was wearing a mask, and the two women, the same as Anabel, had silver hair.
Gerald was a little suspicious and thought, are all the women from the Archaic Tribe with silver hair? NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
Why not men?
The two at the door seemed to recognize the young man. The man hurriedly came forward and said, “Mr. Pierce, are you here to participate in the trial?”
“Yes,” Kameron Pierce smiled indifferently. After taking a few steps, he saw Anabel. He turned around and said with a smile, “Hey, isn’t this the gorgeous Anabel?”
When Anabel saw Kameron, she pulled a long face. Yet she still bowed to him together with Orion and said, “Hello, Mr. Pierce.”
Gerald, Carolyn, and the others hurriedly followed suit.
“Tsk, tsk. What is it? After I rejected you, you found these Half Step Flame Decayers to take part in the trial together with you? Kameron looked at Anabel with a half smile and said ‘Actually why not marry
me? If you marry me, you can be the direct line of descent as well. You get to be my legal wife”
He shook his head and said, “Why do you have to hold on like this? You want to be taken seriously by those higher-ups in the tribe, but you can’t find the right people to help you. The best you can do is find those Half-Step Flame Decayers to make do.”
“Don’t bother, Mr. Pierce,” Anabel said calmly.
“I like how cold and aloof you are,” Kameron chuckled and said. “It’s fun to conquer a woman like you. I’ll see you at the trial,”
As he spoke, he walked towards the door. Then, he thought of something and said with a sneer, “Oh, by the way, you have come to the wrong door. The front door is for the direct line of descent only. Those from the branch families like you should take the side door.”
After saying that, he laughed and turned to walk into the door.
The two at the door regained their indifference. They pointed to the other side and said, “Your entrance is this way.”
“Sorry for the trouble,” Anabel said to the two with a cold face and then walked to the side with Gerald and the others.
Walking to a place where no one else was around, Orion gritted his teeth and said, “Kameron is such a jerk! What else does he have besides a good family background and sufficient resources? Anabel, you are no less talented than he is. With enough resources, I’m sure you would have been a Flame Decayer already.”
Anabel shook her head.
She thought, talent?
My resources are indeed inferior to those direct descendants, but not to Gerald and the others. I don’t lack Bones of Eternity.
Of course, she had no idea that there were countless Bones of Eternity on Earth. Gerald and the others were already used to them. If she did, no one would know how she would feel.
“Do you have a beef with him?” Carolyn asked.
“Humph! He was in the same class as Anabel. Both of them started studying at our family’s school when they were young.” Orion said. “The trial is held once every ten years, and they are both qualified for the trial this time. She wanted to team up with him at first, but he said he would only do so if she married him!
“He is a famous playboy who wants to keep every pretty woman for himself,” Orion scolded. “How could she be happy marrying such a man? So, she turned him down and had no choice but to find a new team.”
Carolyn looked at him with a sneer and said, “Seriously? You are criticizing him? He bullies you, so you pick on those below you? You’re about the same as him, aren’t you?”
Orion’s expression changed, and then his face turned red.
He forced a smile, turned around, and said, “Well, this time, my sister has your help. I’m sure she’ll hit the ground running. She’d better get them out of the trial and keep them out of the top ten.”
Gerald smiled and thought, we should try our best not to mess with them. They are the direct descendants of the Archaic Tribe, after all, Gerald thought for a moment and said, “By the way, it seems to me that women from the Archaic Tribe all have silver hair, and men have black hair.”
Anabel smiled and said, “We will dye our hair when we reach sixteen.”
“Why?” Carolyn asked, puzzled.
Anabel shook her head. “I don’t have a clue.”
Then she raised her head and said, “We’re here.”
The side gate was not nearly as grand as the main gate, but even so, it was about fifteen feet long and wide.
A person was standing at the door, and Anabel introduced herself. After the person verified her identity, he said softly, “A family elder is waiting in the left wing who will arrange your accommodation and take you to be tested for bone age.”
“Thank you,” Anabel thanked him, and then they walked to the door. Behind the door was a courtyard.
On the left side of the courtyard, a door was opened. Anabel, Gerald, and the others walked over.
A slim figure was inside with her back facing them. Anabel took them over, bowed, and said, “This is Anabel
Pierce from the Pierce family in Mullen City reporting.”
“You are Anabel Pierce?” The woman turned around.
She appeared to be in her thirties, with a smile and parted lips, showing her eight teeth.
Seeing the woman, Gerald, Carolyn, and Valery had chills down their backs. They felt horrified at the same time.
“It’s her!”
