Chapter 338 Heh, and he called our soldiers coward.

“General Ember!”

The soldier saluted.

“Why are you here? I told you not to follow me, right?”

Ember questioned with a frown on her face.

She knew that her soldiers won’t dare to disobey her orders, not until something that they can’t handle on their own happens.

“General Ember, Lord Finkelstein is here.”

The soldier reported and as soon as Ember heard that name, her face turned solemn.

“Finkelstein? Who is he?”

Nux questioned with a frown on his face.

Ember doesn’t show this type of expression why often.

Nux was sure that something was wrong with this Finkelstein guy.

Ember turned towards Nux and answered,

“He is a troublesome man to deal with.”

“Huh? How can there be someone more troublesome than me?”

Nux’s ego was hurt.

And hearing those words, Ember shook her head in helplessness. She look at Thyra for help, however, the woman was busy nodding her head, agreeing with Nux’s statement.

‘Whatever, let’s just meet him.’

In the end, Ember just shook her head and gave up.

She then turned towards the soldier and ordered,

“Let’s go.”

“Yes, General.”

The four of them then left the plain fields and returned to the army camp, there, they saw a man wearing lavish clothes, standing in front of the 3 Deputy Generals of the Woods Dynasty’s army with an arrogant look on his face.

“Why is she not here yet? Does she not respect the Dynast of this Dynasty?”

The man questioned in anger.

“Don’t act like you are the Dynast of this Dynasty.”

Laurence, one of the Deputy Generals snorted.

“Deputy General Laurence, I may not be the Dynast of this Dynasty, however, I still hold the message from the Dynast, which means, that right now, I represent the Dynast himself.

And even if I am not representing him, you are not someone who can talk to me like that.

Know your place.”

Finkelstein narrowed his eyes as he glanced at Laurence.

“As expected of the Soldiers who work under that Ember, they are all rude and useless.”

Finkelstein snorted.

Laurence gritted his teeth.

He wanted to lash out and attack this man standing in front of him, however, he could not do it.

This man was a King Stage Cultivator, he was stronger than him and was comparable to the General.

Of course, Lawrence wasn’t scared, however, if he was the one who attacked first, this bastard might use that as a reason to cause trouble for the General.

This was something Lawrence cannot accept.

Therefore, all he could do was grit his teeth and stay silent.

Seeing this, a big, wide smile appeared on Finkelstein’s face and he continued,

“Heh, rude and useless, I guess I should add coward to that list as well.”

Lawrence clenched his fist in anger, and the other soldiers who surrounded them felt uncomfortable as well.

However, they didn’t have to stay that way for long,

“Did you just call the soldiers serving the Army of the Woods Dynasty useless?”

Ember questioned with a curious look on her face.

Finkelstein turned towards Ember and scowled.

“…”

However, he did not have any answers to her question.

And seeing that, Ember smiled,

“What happened? Why are you not answering my question? Did you perhaps say those words by mistake? Do you want to apologize for that?”

“The way a subordinate act reflects on how a leader deals with different situations.

If your subordinates are so easily cornered, it tells a lot about you as a leader.

The Soldiers of our army may not be useless, rude, or cowards, however, with you as their leader, they certainly look like one.”

Ember narrowed her eyes.

“I am just asking this for confirmation, but,

Did you just call me a coward?”

A ferocious Aura was released from Ember’s body.

The suffocating Aura affected everyone around the area and Finkelstein was no exception as well.

He took a step back and didn’t say anything.

“…”

Seeing this scene, Nux, who was standing behind Ember chuckled,

“Heh, and he called our soldiers coward.”

“Pfft.”

Thyra didn’t even try to control herself and laughed out loud.

Seeing this, the rest of the soldiers smiled as well.

“And who are you?”

Not liking Nux’s comment one bit, Finkelstein questioned as he narrowed his eyes in anger.

“Heeeh? Why do I have to answer you?”

Nux questioned.

“Because I am someone who can Kill you with my eyes closed.”

Finkelstein answered arrogantly.

Hearing those words, Nux chuckled.

“Oh God, I am so very scared.”

Again, the soldiers started chuckling and this time, the Deputy Generals started sympathizing with Finkelstein. They were in the same position as him a few days ago after all.

Finkelstein already started hating this man in front of him.

“Aren’t you a little too arrogant for someone who is just an Expert Stage Cultivator?”

“Hmm? At least I have the guts to fight against Cultivators who are in the same Cultivation Stage as me.”

Nux smiled and a vein popped up on Finkelstein’s forehead.

In the end, he couldn’t control himself anymore and a sword appeared in his hands,

“That’s it. I gave you enough chances already.”

He roared in rage, however, just as he was about to dash towards Nux, a sword appeared in Ember’s hand.

Seeing that, Finkelstein paused.

He might act all mighty and great, however, in his heart, he knew that he was no match for Ember even though they both are King Stage Cultivators.

He might be able to fight against her for a while, however, he knew that eventually, he would lose.

Not only that, but this was Ember’s territory, he can’t act recklessly here. Even if he does defeat her, there is no guarantee that others won’t attack him.

Therefore, Finkelstein had to hold back.

Actually, in truth, he doesn’t have to hold back at all.

He might not be able to defeat Ember through his strength, however,

That doesn’t mean that he cannot use any other means.

He could always use some ‘other means’ after all.

Thinking about it, a small smile appeared on Finkelstein’s face.

“Whatever, let’s not talk about useless stuff anymore,

I am here for something much more important.”
