433 Soul (1/2)

After the war, Alex did not want to stay longer. The reason was simple, he did not want to deal with the top brass from other influences. After finishing the report of their situation and watching the clean up of the battlefield, Alex came back to the sect.

Of course, before that, he notified the Sect Master from both sects. It seemed Charya was also going to go back together.

Alex came to Honda Sana. ”What are you going to do now?”

”I will accompany you to the Northern Continent, according to Lady Song Yu's order. As long as you can cross the ocean safely and become Martial King, then I will go back to Blackwade Clan since it will be dangerous for you to be acquainted with us. At the very least, you won't be able to protect yourself in the Northern Continent.” She said.

”...” Alex frowned a bit. He was grateful to have a guide like that, and maybe he could get some information about the Northern Continent from her. However, he wanted to break through to Martial King first, and that advancement process was something she should not know. And he also wanted to make a ruckus in the Nilis Continent. He decided. ”I am grateful for the thought, but I will stay on this continent for a bit longer, so you can go back first.”

”This… I have promised lady Song Yu to bring you there…” Honda Sana looked at him with a troubled expression.

”It's fine. I am sure Senior Sister can understand. Just say I need something to do, and don't worry about the journey. I can do that alone.” Alex smiled, trying to assure her. ”Besides, I have the others with me, so I should be fine.”

”This…” Honda Sana looked down, weighing something in her mind. After a while, she sighed. ”Alright. I will go back first. Lady Song Yu also does not know about this incident and the Martial Kings, but I need to give reasonings to her, so…”

”It's fine. Just say I have several Martial Kings beside me at the moment. But don't disclose their information.” Alex nodded.

”I understand. You are one of the Blackwade Clan's VIP, so I will keep your information as a secret.” Honda Sana nodded.

”Then.” Alex nodded and left.

On the side, Letizia looked at them with a complicated expression. Seeing Alex left, Letizia came to Honda Sana. ”Excuse me…”

Honda Sana turned her head and was a bit surprised to see her.

…

Meanwhile, Alex was completely unaware of their conversation. After finishing their discussion, he simply left the battlefield together and went to his spirits.

He wanted to discuss the next plan with his spirits. However, it was at this time Nelson contacted him.

”Young Master, I have finished the job. All the people that have been involved with the Blood Pill and Berserk Pill have died. I have bad news and good news, which one do you want to hear first?”

”Bad news, I guess…” Alex said, a bit unsure.

”The bad news is about the influence in the Nilis Continent. It seems we have underestimated their power level too much.”

”Oh?” Alex frowned.

”Even with the Martial Kings coming to this place, they still had a pair of peak Martial Kings and around a hundred Martial Kings below that. They are completely on a different level from us.” Nelson said.

Alex was startled by this news. ”Are you saying they are going toward this place after this?”

”There is a high chance they will do that. They are one of the peak influences, and it seems they want to rule the Nilis Continent. However, they need enough resources to do that. That's why they want to hoard all the resources in the Wilow Continent for themselves and rule the Nilis Continent.”

”I see.” Alex pinched the spot between his eyebrows.

”Don't worry. I have a different plan for that. We can just let one of my subordinates oversee this continent and send the others to the Northern Continent so they could investigate the power level there and other things before you arrive.” Nelson said.

”How about you?”

”I will go to the Nilis Continent. And when I have reached a certain level, I will destroy the Brynhildr Kingdom.”

”This…” Alex did not know what to say.

”I have another thing I want to do. Since Young Master has the promise to wipe out a certain influence in the Sacred Continent and somehow it is related to the Brynhildr Kingdom, I will stay there. This way, I can gather enough information, so when Young Master goes there, everything is ready for you.” Nelson said.

”Alright, you have my permission.” Alex was speechless. He thought, 'What a reliable guy he is…'

”Yes, thank you for your trust, Young Master.” Nelson paused a bit. ”Then I will move to the good news, is that alright with you, Young Master?”

”Yeah.”

”After calculating all the possessions, I have got around 200 million Spirit Stones, a few hundred thousand rank 2 weapons, a few ten thousand rank 3 weapons, and a few hundred rank 4 weapons and a few thousand other artifacts, medicinal herbs, and so on. As expected, they have brought most of the rank 4 weapons to the battlefield.”

”... I never expected the Zhou Kingdom to be even wealthier than the Southern Kingdom. I thought the Southern Kingdom is known for its wealth, right?”

”It is because I get all the loot I can grab… from the Royal Family, a few prominent families, and somehow big families. Meanwhile, I only grab the Royal Family treasure back in the Southern Kingdom.”

”I see.”

”Well, there is one more thing…” Nelson said.
