Chapter 990


    In the Warzone Master’s residence of the Central Warzone headquarters, Terry was in a meeting room


    conducting a meeting with his generals.


    “Sir!” A soldier rushed in, breathing heavily and reporting, “Sir, someone has broken into the


    residence!”


    “What?” Terry stood up and walked out with a cold expression, shouting, “I want to see who dares have


    the audacity to barge into my residence!”


    “Central Warzone Master, what a disy of authority!”


    Before Terry could leave the room, a voice from outsideughed coldly.


    Then, a slim figure entered with confident strides. It was Noir.

    Terry was shocked to see Noir and asked, “Captain ck, why are you here?”


    “It’s not just me.” Noir said coldly, “The Wolf King is here as well!”


    “The Wolf King…”


    Terry was even more astonished.


    However, before he could finish his sentence, a shadow dashed in and delivered a kick to his chest,


    sending him flying and crashing to the ground.


    Then, the figure stepped on Terry’s chest. It was Andrius!


    “W–Wolf King…”


    Even though Terry was pinned down, he still greeted Andrius respectfully.


    Andrius snorted and questioned, “Terry, let me ask you. Back when we were in the western region, how


    did I teach you to act as amander? What was the pledge you recited under Florence’s g?”


    Terry did not understand why Andrius was suddenly mentioning this and was momentarily


    dumbfounded.


    However, nearly every mid- to high–level member of the Lycantroops was mentored by Andrius. They


    held deep admiration and worshiped him.


    Even though Terry was now the Central Warzone Master, he still followed Andrius‘ orders strictly. He


    immediately recited the Lycantroops‘ pledge. “I live as a Florencian and die as a Florencian.


    “We were raised under its banner and grew with its spring breezes. Our vision is devoted to Florence,


    and our g is our faith.


    “Asmanders, we bear hardships with courage, vanquish our foes, forget our families when we


    receive orders, and ignore our own lives in the face of the enemy. We protect the people and secure


    the nation, bringing luster to thends of Florence.


    “As officials, we uphold an unsullied reputation, remain self–restrained, fear not the influential, and


    mistreat not the weak. We uphold justice for the country, the well–being of its people, and never detach


    ourselves from the masses.”


    With those words, silence filled the residence.


    Only Andrius‘ coldughter rang through.


    “Well said. Fear not the influential and mistreat not the weak. Uphold the justice for the country and the


    well–being of its people.”


    At that point, he nced at Noir.


    Noir understood and immediately brought Gerard and the other injured soldiers in.


    Terry’s expression instantly changed slightly when he saw the soldiers.


    “Come.” Andrius pointed to Gerard and the others, angrily questioning Terry, “Exin to them in front of


    me. How did you uphold justice and fear not the influential?


    “Kane Hardy vited thew and sent people to attack the squad at night, but what justice did you


    seek


    for them?


    “The soldiers were just doing their jobs and came to you when they faced a great disaster, but what did


    you do?”


    Andrius‘ questions were thunderous,


    “Wolf King…” A trace of guilt shed on Terry’s face as he sighed. “To tell you the truth, I didn’t want


    this to happen either, but I had no choice…”


    Andrius frowned slightly and raised his foot off Terry’s chest. “I’ll give you a chance to exin yourself.”


    “Thank you, Wolf King.”


    Terry climbed up from the ground and did not defend himself immediately. Instead, he said to the


    generals who hade for the meeting, “We’ll postpone the meeting for another day. Please leave for


    now!”


    “Yes.” The generals all left.


    “Wolf King, pleasee with me.” Terry led Andrius to his office.


    “Wolf King, the truth is, on the second day after the incident, I personally led a team to the Hardys”


    residence,” Terry confessed the truth and did not dare to hide anything.


    Andrius watched him expressionlessly without revealing any emotion. If not for the fact that he had


    heard about this from the soldiers, he would not have simply kicked Terry earlier.


    “The Hardy family is very influential, and they have strong backing!” Terry’s expression was solemn and


    fearful. “They usually handle the collection of resources for the ancient martial families, so they have


    the protection of those families.”


    The ancient martial families!


    Andrius was struck by a realization, and his eyes shed with a cold light.


    Back then, the fake emperor was a puppet set up by the Swallow family. Who knew how many


    resources they plundered over the years?


    “Less than half a minute after I entered the Hardys‘ residence, a martial realm expert appeared and


    overpowered me with a warning.” Terry continued, “If we dared to continue pursuing this matter, not


    only would they cripple me, but their family would also exterminate the Central Warzone soldiers.


    That’s why…


    “Although I was deeply reluctant, I had no other choice. I could only return and immediately arrange for


    compensation on that day, hoping to console the soldiers.”


    At that point, a trace of shame shed on Terry’s face.
