“Young Patriarch, we’ve arrived at Dreary Mountain, but there are several roads leading up.

Which one shall we take?

” Montel asked Philip at the foot of Dreary Mountain. Philip tossed the question to Garth. Garth cursed Philip inwardly but said good- naturedly on the surface, “Just take the road on the right until we reach the end.

” He knew that the research lab was being strictly guarded because of the scientists inside. Philip would be finished once he reached the research lab. Once they arrived at the research lab, Garth would take revenge for all the humiliation he had suffered today. He would make Philip run buck naked through all the alleys and streets! Garth felt extremely happy at the thought of Philip’s miserable plight later. Philip speechlessly looked at Garth as the latter laughed wildly one second and looked melancholic the next. Philip almost thought that Garth had gone crazy. “Hey, wake up!

” Philip slapped Garth on the head so that he would stay rational and not be immersed in his own world. Philip still had use for Garth. It would be a pity if he went crazy now. Garth frowned at Philip and quickly quelled his anger. He knew that now was not the time to throw a fit at Philip. They soon reached the halfway point of the mountain, which Garth mentioned. Philip frowned at the sight of the extremely luxurious hotel built here. “Isn’t that a hotel?

” A hint of sarcasm flashed across Garth’s face. “That’s just a cover, of course.

The hotel usually accepts guests, while our research lab is inside the mountain.
