Chapter 988


    Andrius narrowed his eyes at Noir’s words.


    That was indeed peculiar. He already felt something off earlier, but he did not dwell on it. In hindsight,


    the emperor’s reaction seemed strange.


    Could the emperor be hiding something from him, hence he was in such a hurry to build a grave?


    However, what benefit would building a grave for Old Hagstorm bring?


    Andrius‘ thoughts were muddled. He personally saw what happened to Old Hagstorm, was injured by


    that ck–robed man, and heard from Kate and Wade about Old Hagstorm’s past, which was


    completely different from what he knew and thought.


    For a moment, Andrius had a splitting headache. He could not make sense of it.


    Nothing made sense. His thoughts were all tangled and chaotic. He could not fathom the ultimate goal


    of this scheme and the role he yed in it.


    “Andy. Andy?” Noir called out in concern when Andrius froze.


    “I’m fine.” Andrius snapped back to his senses and sighed deeply, saying, “Let’s go.”


    Since he could not figure it out, there was no point dwelling on it. Time would reveal the answers.


    The Ancient Martial Assembly was approaching. Just as Wade said, everything would be revealed after


    the Ancient Martial Assembly and the Ancient Martial Alliance Chief was decided.


    Whether it was part of Old Hagstorm’s n and whether there were people behind him who had


    ambitions for the position…


    Everything woulde to light.


    Noir sighed in relief and asked, “Where are we going now?”


    Andrius said, “Back to the military camp.”


    Noir drove back to the Lycantroops‘ branch in Kiyoto.


    After driving for less than ten minutes…


    “Wolf King! You must speak up for us soldiers-”


    Suddenly, a wheelchair rolled out from the side. An injured soldier wearing a tattered military uniform


    with one arm and leg missing fell to the ground, crying loudly.


    Noir immediately stopped the car.


    Andrius got out of the car and helped the disabled soldier up, saying, “What happened? Tell me slowly.


    I won’t be lenient as long as it concerns the soldiers‘ interests.”


    “Thank you, Wolf King My name is Gerard Thornton, a member of the forces stationed in the Central


    Warzone.” The soldier said with reddened eyes and gritted teeth, “Three days ago, our captain led us


    on a patrol in the city, and we encountered Kane Hardy, the young master of the Hardy family.

    “He relied on his family’s influence and humiliated a girl in broad daylight, and even beat her boyfriend


    to death in front of her, showingplete disregard forw and order.


    “ording to thew, a person like that should be arrested and sentenced. Thus, our team prepared to


    apprehend Kane.


    “However…”


    At that point, Gerard’s expression turned furious, and he panted heavily. “That very night, our squad


    was attacked by the Hardy family.


    “The captain and deputy captain were dismembered and killed by the Hardys. The squad members


    who participated directly in the arrest each had all their limbs amputated.


    “Only a few of us, including me, who were responsible for dispersing the crowd, narrowly escaped


    death at the hands of the Hardys. However, we all paid the price of losing an arm and a leg.”


    Gerard raised his head, tears welling up in his eyes. His gaze was filled with resentment. “Wolf King…”
