Chapter 1126: He Doesn’t Dare to Touch Me
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Walter Hardy clenched his fists and said in a low voice, “He plundered the country’s fate for thousands of miles, completely breaking ties with the empire. I initially wanted to betroth Milia to him, but he unexpectedly played this trick, cutting off the roots.”
“I come on behalf of the Divine Hall of Light to convey the Lord’s intention. Braydon Neal has not yet reached maturity. His current strength, being able to defeat Lord Bellamy, comes from absorbing the country’s fate. As long as he is within the empire, he can harness the power of heaven and earth, possessing quasi-emperor combat strength.”
Thorvald Forte slowly stood up, representing the Divine Hall of Light.
Walter’s expression softened a lot as he looked at Thorvald and said, “Thorvald, you’ve been practicing in the divine hall for over ten years. Now, the empire is in need of talents. I want you to stay in the Empire State Building, with a status equal to Haven Downing. What do you think?”
“The divine hall has an order, and I cannot stay in the Empire State Building.”
Thorvald shook his head slightly, refusing Walter directly.
Ever since the Divine Hall of Light retreated and became a secluded force, they drew clear boundaries with the Empire State Building.
A century-old tradition had been established.
Thorvald couldn’t agree to Walter’s proposal, as the Divine Hall of Light would not agree either.
Walter looked at the silent and veiled figure of the mute and said with bitterness, “Quantrell, in the past decade, there have been frequent reports from the South Pole, with over thirteen ruins showing abnormalities. Although we haven’t found a way to open them, based on past experience, the ruins might open automatically!”
“In those ruins, there are powerful ancient martial arts, emperor legacies, and formidable spirit artifacts. The hundred countries’ pinnacles are all eyeing them, and within a year, conflicts over the major ruins will likely erupt.
“Exploring the ruins has significant restrictions; most only allow young people to enter. The younger generation of Hansworth is full of talents, and once they enter the South Pole, it will be like a dragon returning to the sea.”
Walter’s words implied a deeper meaning.
He hoped that the mute and Thorvald would a.s.sist Haven in going to the Antarctic.
And the mute’s real name was Quantrell Murphy.
In the Alpha Empire, his alias was not well-known.
Even he, a person of his stature, was downplayed by the official Alpha Empire.
He was commonly known as the genius martial artist in hiding!
Haven was publicly recognized by the Alpha Empire and considered a legendary figure capable of rivaling King Braydon in the eyes of western countries.
But the Alpha Empire wasn’t so foolish as to reveal all its cards.
Thorvald, within the Divine Hall of Light, was beyond Walter’s control.
But the mute was a hidden existence of the Alpha Empire.
Both were cultivated with great resources by the Alpha Empire when they were young, with the mute receiving even more resources than Haven.
Perhaps because the mute was physically incomplete, born mute, and had a silent and introverted personality, Walter, a person of worldly power, found him easy to manipulate and more trustworthy.
Who would have thought?
The three touted geniuses Walter considered as hopes for the empire were all secret p.a.w.ns of the Northern Army!
The one Walter trusted the most, the mute, was the most terrifying No. 0 hidden agent of the Northern Army.
The hidden agents were created for him!
The No. 0 controlled the entire force.
The mute alone could contact all the hidden agents in the Northern Army.
Otherwise, how could the Northern Army’s Luther Carden control hidden agents at the level of Qilin Sons with his strength alone?
Luther was just a liaison.
The mute stared at Walter and finally nodded slowly.
He agreed to go to the South Pole.
Walter nodded approvingly and said, “Your ident.i.ty is unique. On the surface, act as an ordinary martial artist, accompanying Haven to the South Pole. When necessary, you and Haven should join forces to kill some of the Northern Army Qilin Sons. Let the Northern King know that the Alpha Empire also has geniuses equal to or even stronger than him.”
The mute remained expressionless, nodding slightly.
Haven stood up and said, “Pack up tonight. The mute and I will lead a group to the South Pole.”
“Thorvald, you should come too. There are many opportunities in the South Pole ruins, and the divine hall has mentioned that the younger generation will go to gain experience.”
After Walter had finished speaking, he added, “You three go down and prepare. I’ll talk with Vick and others a bit more.”
“Alright!”
Haven and the other two stood up, leaving the Empire State Building.
The three of them exited together, taking the empire’s exclusive elevator.
Haven looked at the two in front of him and calmly said, “Braydon agreed to let me return to the Northern Army!”
“Then just go back. Sending nineteen Qilin Sons abroad was a bit of a waste. It’s better for a couple to go back and help Braydon.”
Thorvald had a carefree att.i.tude.
Only the mute remained silent. His left hand moved slightly, and vitality formed a line of small words, saying, “Received a secret order last night to monitor Haven. If there is any abnormality, execute on the spot!”
The red small words formed by the mute’s vitality dissipated instantly.
Haven didn’t mind.
Thorvald whispered, “It seems that the old guy inside has some suspicions about you.”
“Even if he is suspicious, without evidence, he won’t dare to act against me.”
Haven’s lips curled into a cold smile.
The three most ruthless hidden agents of the Northern Army were all here.
Having the mute monitor Haven was like a joke!
In the top-floor lounge of the Empire State Building.
Walter sat in the first seat, looking at the three middle-aged men sitting across from him, furrowing his brow and saying, “According to the a.s.sessment from the Special Information Bureau, Haven’s recent behavior toward the Hansworth martial artist delegation seems unusual.”
“Are you worried that Haven has connections with the Northern Army?”
The slim middle-aged man on the left, wearing a blue shirt, spoke with calm composure.
Walter sighed, “I naturally don’t believe in such a thing, but the a.s.sessment from the Special Information Bureau forces me to be cautious.”
“My Lord, forgive my frankness, but that bunch of idiots in the Special Information Bureau has been chasing after the Northern Army’s hidden agents for years with minimal results. I suggest dismantling them and replacing them with new personnel.”
The refined middle-aged man in the middle spoke plainly.
He intended to take advantage of this opportunity to disband the Alpha Empire’s Special Information Bureau.
There must be some conflict between the two.
Walter squinted, a cold light flashing through his eyes, and asked softly, “Do you suspect that there are Northern Army’s hidden agents within the Special Information Bureau?”
“The Special Information Bureau has twenty-three branches, over seventy thousand personnel, surpa.s.sing various departments. I simply don’t believe that there are no Northern Army hidden agents among them!”
The middle-aged man’s words revealed a ruthless intent.
The consequences of his words would be the destruction of the Special Information Bureau.
If the Empire State Building ordered a thorough investigation of the Special Information Bureau today, who knew how many people would be exposed.
There would inevitably be casualties!
The middle-aged man on the right, dressed in black, had a stern expression and calmly said, “General Haven is a flag of the empire. He was nurtured by the Lord since childhood and can be considered as someone the Lord has protected and raised. If the Lord does not trust someone he has raised, it may align with the thoughts of certain individuals if there is friction with Haven.”
