At this point, while Jamie was brutally beaten by Minos, sometimes having to endure Emlyn's sneak attacks, Kevin and some of his subordinates were surrounded by ten people. On one side was Kevin, along with his bodyguard Jeff, as well as other individuals who had traveled with this young master from the city of Hadia to here. Altogether, there were eight people in this group, which was facing the opposite party. As for the other side, Vivian and her bodyguard, as well as the cocky young man from before, were gathered at the same time that more people who had chased Kevin were there too. And while the two sides were facing each other, Kevin was surrounded by 3 of these enemies, who were here for the Spring of Life. He was in a worse and worse situation and noticing that his last hope, Jamie, was even worse than he was only made things worse for this young man. At the moment, Kevin could no longer attack those individuals, as he was using all his strength to defend against each of the attacks released by those three. 'Shit, Jamie won't be able to help me, and I won't be able to beat these three…' He thought for a moment as he held up a tree bark shield to defend himself from his opponents' attacks. And as he took a few steps back, Kevin finally made up his mind and said resolutely. "Let's stop with it! We don't need to fight to the death for the Spring of Life. I'd rather keep my life than this item!" Hearing this, the three attacking him did not let their guard down a bit, but two of them were interested in what Kevin had to say. Then, both of them lessened the intensity of their attacks but still putting pressure on this young master so that he would not try to deceive them. The other person who did not diminish her strength in the attacks was Vivian. She desired to eliminate Kevin for his actions in Hadia, just as she wanted to destroy him for being a Chambers, a member of this heinous family that had crippled her younger brother! "Don't listen to him. Let's kill him, and then we'll decide between us!" She yelled at the other two with a bit of anxiety in her voice. And seeing that the two others who were attacking him seemed interested in his offer, Kevin felt a certain relief in his heart. "Rep Patrick and young Ross, you two don't want to see this thing through to the end, right? Even though the Spring of Life is precious, it will be much better if you don't have to kill me, the young master of the Chambers family! This will save you two a lot of trouble!" Upon hearing this, the young man who had said he would take the Spring of Life earlier, Ross, looked at Kevin for a moment and said. "In fact, besides, my Willis family has never had a problem with you, Chambers. If I can avoid this setback, I'm willing!" After Ross showed his interest, the representative of one of the Cromwell Kingdom's noble families who was at that auction, Patrick, then started saying while looking at Kevin and Ross. "Your suggestion interests me, but who will keep the Spring of Life? We have two of us willing to make a deal with you..." After hearing these two, Kevin smiled inwardly and then said, at the same time, pointing to Minos' soldiers. "Well, I think it will depend on your own strength. If you two switch to my side, we might be able to turn things around and eliminate this other group." "Or do you think they'll let you out of here with the Spring of Life?" He inquired provocatively, attempting to destabilize Minos' temporary allies. Hearing that, Vivian could not help but feel a shiver down her spine. "Don't listen to him. This other group is not here for the Spring of Life!" And at that moment, one of the bodyguards standing around said it out loud. "It's very suspicious that they're only here for one person. Mr. Willis, let's do it! I'm afraid Kevin might be right." "And look, that individual who destroyed the barrier now has a 6th stage beast with him!" Another man said aloud, with a certain astonishment in his tone. It was hard for him not to feel threatened by Emlyn's arrival. Not all of them had seen her right away, due to the fact that they were too busy killing and not getting killed! And after he said that, several of them looked that way, where Minos was beating up the Spiritual King, Jamie, right now. "When did this damn fox show up here?" Ross wondered in shock, trying to make sense of the unfolding situation just a few meters away from him. After those groups around Kevin noticed Emlyn's presence, someone else finally made the most relevant comment this time. "If we're going to fight that group, how are we going to defeat those two? I know that man must no longer be 100%, but before we defeat him, many of us would die!" "That's right, folks, don't fall for this bastard's ideas. He just wants to use us to die for him, and in the end, he gets the Spring of Life!" Vivian screamed, trying to make these people not lose their sense and change sides in the middle of the battle. ... While Kevin destabilized Minos' alliance, in the basement of that more prominent building on this base, the place where the captives were held in detention was vivacious. That dark and degrading place, where those people suffered from the regular tortures of the guards of that base, had been in a very different mood for a few minutes. Since the beginning of the battle outside this place, the sounds of explosions, screams, typical sounds of fighting were reaching this place, where the slaves were temporarily living. And when they noticed the noise generated by the turmoil at this base, they immediately realized that this place was being invaded, or at the very least was undergoing a great tribulation! They were at an outpost of a noble family, in the middle of a forest, where there certainly would not be any extensive reenactments for no reason. Then, from the sounds, sometimes even the tremors of that building around them, these captives knew something terrible for the Chambers was going on. And in the midst of this, several of these captives were satisfied with this event. Even though most of them had no hope of saving themselves from the fate of slavery, it was still nice to know their 'owners' were not having a good time. They could feel that this ordeal at this base was quite balanced, given the time the fights had started. Hence, they felt that several of those guards, maybe someone who had tortured them, could end up dying in the middle of the fights! This did not pay for the disgrace that these people had gone through, as they would have liked to eliminate those guards themselves. Still, it already brought satisfaction to these victims... Anyway, in that location, in one of the cells, Peter and Joey were conversing side by side as they stood at one end of the cell, facing the entrance to that location. "What do you think is happening?" Peter asked in a weak voice, still with his gaze fixed on that door. Hearing this, Joey shook his head and said. "Ahh, it's hard to say. There are many possibilities, but not very likely. An arrogant young man with power can generate great confusion, even for the smallest things..." "It's true… Ahh, I wish I could see this battle! To see that bastard who tortured me yesterday die would be great!" Another captive commented to them, being seated next to Joey and Peter. And while several conversations were taking place in that area, suddenly the entrance door opened, allowing light to enter that environment, illuminating that degrading place full of slaves. Then two women wearing torn men's clothing walked in, carrying weapons in their hands, with various battle marks all over their bodies. The one with a less developed body carried a hammer almost as big as herself in her two hands, while the other had an ordinary sword and several keys in her hands. "Barbara! Robin!" Peter quickly recognized them while shouting in an astonished and confused tone to see them that way. And immediately after entering that place, the two began to release all those captives from their cells, allowing them to flee for their freedoms. "It's time to run away!"
