Chapter 819


    “You need topletely remove the Spirit–devouring Insect and face three moves from me. There is


    no other way. Don’t even think about taking a step out without my approval.”


    After saying that, Otto moved his hands behind his back and swiftly left the cave.


    Andrius fell silent.


    Then, he made up his mind to continue cultivating, hoping to deal with the insect as soon as possible


    and then leave this ce.


    At the same time, something major was happening outside.


    In the East River State, several dozens of people disappeared daily in Sumeria. Whether it was from


    checking surveince or interviewing the locals, there were no clues to the disappearances. It was as if


    those people had evaporated.


    In addition, a strange illness was spreading in Sumeria and its surroundings. Once infected, the person


    would be lethargic, physically weak, and drained of energy, making them extremely frail. Even


    holding up a fork to eat became extremely challenging.


    Thebination of these two events caused a headache for Marcus, but he could not figure out any


    valuable clues or how to contain the epidemic.


    For a time, grievance soared among the people of Sumeria and its neighbors, and they felt fear and


    anxiety.


    In the Southern Warzone military airport, a ne from the Lycantroops slowly descended.


    Noir arrived at the Southern Warzone under Dax’s invitation.


    Dax invited Noir to headquarters and went straight to the point. “Captain ck Wolf, have you heard


    about what’s happening in Sumeria?”


    Noir frowned slightly. “I’ve heard some news, but not in detail.”


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Dax sighed and exined, “Since your return from Murrfield, many people have been disappearing


    daily in


    Sumeria and even the entire East River State.


    “Furthermore, a strange illness of unknown origin is spreading in Sumeria. Although it’s being managed


    reasonably well, it has already caused significant panic.”


    Noir’s already grim expression turned even darker. He had been discussing strategies for marching


    toward Kiyoto with the Eight Commanders and had not expected such a major crisis to happen in


    Sumeria.


    When Noir remained silent, Dax rubbed his nose and added, “Most importantly, someone is dragging


    the Wolf King into this, saying that all this is orchestrated by the Wolf King in revenge for the emperor’s


    verdict!”


    Dax looked at Noir as he spoke.


    “Fuck!” Noir could not help but cuss. “That’s absolute nonsense! Andy has already been killed by those


    bastards, and now they’re trying to smear his name…”


    “They’re truly heartless!” Dax sighed. “That’s why I’m asking you to stay and help investigate this


    matter. It’s also a chance to clear the Wolf King’s name. What do you think?”


    Noir thought about it..


    The Lycantroops would not be able to attack Kiyoto for the time being, and this situation concerned the


    Wolf King’s reputation, so he reluctantly agreed.


    “Alright.” Noir looked at Dax and said coldly, “I want to see just which vermin is behind this. If I catch


    them, I’ll tear their tendons and skin them alive!”


    Then, Dax’s guards escorted Noir away to examine the clues.


    “Oh, Captain ck Wolf…” After seeing Noir leave, Dax looked at his back from the window and


    muttered


    to himself, “These are troubled times for Florence.


    “The Lycantroops is a formidable force for Florence and also Andrius‘ life’s work. I can’t afford anything


    to happen to them.


    “So, I’m prioritizing the bigger picture by indirectly keeping you here!”
