Chapter 2009: Reverse Operation Chapter 2009: Reverse Operation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Braydon Neal paused in silence.
If that were the case, he could indeed silence all three of them.
However, such an action would seem a bit heartless.
In fact, could it be that Braydon misunderstood him?
When he was young, his reputation wasnât great.Ă To the aristocratic families and foreign nations, Braydon was seen as a demonââŹâa ruthless man with blood on his hands.Ă To call him heartless would be an understatement.Ă But the people of the Northern Army knew differently: their commander valued friendship above all.
The sons of the Northern Army were not shielded by just anyone; they were protected by this big brother.ĂÂ Frankly, without Braydonâs protection, he would have stood no chance against the nationâs major powers.ĂÂ Many of the sons of the Northern Army had narrowly escaped assassination attempts in their youth, despite Braydonâs best efforts to shield them.ĂÂ Year after year, threats came from both within and outside the country, targeting these âtroublemakersâ from the Northern Army.
At this moment, Loy Haber and his group had already left.
âJust in case,â Braydon said as he changed his appearance.
âAlright!â Icarus Jacome replied with equal caution, transforming himself into the form of an elderly man in his eighties.ĂÂ Braydon took it a step further, turning into a 200-pound heavy-set man.ĂÂ With their altered faces, no one would suspect their true identities.
And with that, this odd pair slipped into the palace depths.
Loy, with a man and a woman by his side, pressed forward as more powerful figures approached.ĂÂ Eventually, Loy stopped before a young man dressed in white robes, bowing and clasping his hands in greeting.
âThird-level transcendent Loy Haber.
I have urgent information for your sectâs elder.â âWhat is it?â Outside the hall, two white-robed disciples frowned, their expressions cold.
âI know who killed your fellow disciples outside,â Loy said in a hushed voice.
âAnd I know who spread the word.â âWhat?â Hearing this, anger filled the two disciplesâ eyes.ĂÂ Originally, the Dlael Spiritual Sect had occupied this location with the intention of quietly securing its wealth.ĂÂ But thanks to a few fools, their plans had been sabotaged.ĂÂ The prize they had nearly claimed slipped through their fingers.
Loy was led into the hall.
âDo you know who killed a disciple of my Dlael Spiritual Sect?â asked the third elder, his tone icy.
âSenior, their names are Luke Yates and Tobey Lapras,â Loy reported.
The Third Elder frowned.
âThose names are unfamiliar.
But those who dare kill disciples of our Dlael Spiritual Sect wonât be forgiven.â âRight, right.
After killing your sectâs disciples, they were the ones who spread the news about the supreme treasure here.â Loy volunteered the information not just out of fear of being implicated but for the rewards.ĂÂ Snitching without benefit was hardly worth the trouble, after all.
As expectedââŹÂŚ âWhat?!â The third elderâs voice rose in anger.
âAre you saying the ones who leaked the information werenât from the Dlael Spiritual Sect but these two imposters?â âTheyâre trying to fish in troubled waters,â Loy nodded.
The third elderâs face darkened, clearly furious.ĂÂ Tossing a storage ring to Loy, he said coldly, âThis is your reward.
Take us to them, and Iâll triple the benefit!â Loy glanced inside the ring and froze.ĂÂ The ring contained a full set of level three transcendent pills.
Though their quality was average, it held a hundred bottlesââŹâ1,000 pills in all, each worth 100,000 gray stones.
It also held three level three eon artifacts, an even more valuable prize.
âSenior,â Loy replied without hesitation, âthey may have already fled.
I can only lead you to their last known location.â In other words, if the two had disappeared, the blame couldnât fall on him.
The third elder snorted.
âDonât worry.
Regardless of whether we find them, youâll receive substantial rewards.
The Dlael Spiritual Sect doesnât lack resources.â âThank you, Senior!â Relieved, Loy immediately led his men onward.
Meanwhile, members of the Dlael Spiritual Sect continued gathering in the areaââŹâover a thousand of them, all transcendents.Ă From a window of a seven-story palace, Braydon and Icarus observed the scene below, watching the Dlael Spiritual Sect disciples converge on their previous location.
âShould have killed those three pests sooner,â Icarus muttered.
âNo matter.
The Dlael Spiritual Sect already knows weâre here, so we may as well give them a little more trouble,â Braydon said, a mischievous grin crossing his face.
âWhat are you planning?â Icarus asked, glancing over.
âWhat do you think of this?â Braydonâs face transformed to resemble one of the three white-robed disciples they had seen earlier.
Icarusâs eyes widened.
âAs a defector from the Dlael Spiritual Sect, slipping back into your old role should be easier than it is for me,â Braydon grinned.
A chill ran down Icarusâs spine as he realized Braydonâs plan.ĂÂ Braydon intended to turn the Dlael Spiritual Sect against itself.ĂÂ By posing as one of their disciples and damaging their reputation, he would ultimately bring powerful enemies crashing down on them.ĂÂ Braydonâs style had clearly evolved.ĂÂ Away from his universe and his loyal Northern Army Cavalry, he now had to think tactically, relying more on wit than brute force.
So Braydon transformed himself into a Dlael Spiritual Sect disciple, with Icarus following suit.ĂÂ They moved into action, abandoning interest in the treasure for now.
At the northeast corner of the palace complex lay a thirteen-story tower.ĂÂ The barrier around it was broken, with two to three hundred lower-level transcendents gathered nearby.
The moment the door broke open, Braydon, now garbed in white, charged in, brandishing a sword.ĂÂ His bladeâs Qi cut through the air, targeting the door.ĂÂ Fueled by fury, the experts retaliated.
âI am a direct disciple of the Dlael Spiritual Sect.
Who dares attack me?â Braydon bellowed.
The roar stunned many of the attackers, most of whom were wandering warriors without affiliations.
The Dlael Spiritual Sect?
They were guarded by a ninth-level transcendent, and they had been the first to arrive.
Most wouldnât dare cross them.
Braydon stepped up to the doorway and declared coldly, âThis place is ours.
Anyone who dares to make a move will be treated as an enemy.â
