Chapter 472 - An Opportunity (2/2)
“That’s about it…”
“Hm.” Hutton nodded, and did not say more.
This was not simply a request for manpower…
How powerful was the Tower of Dusk? While others might not know, surely Hutton did! The Legendary-level President alone was enough to cause a sensation in the Breezy Plains, and he was only 20 years old—his potential could only be described as immeasurable. Moreover, he had the three relics of Geresco, and it was almost certain that he would reach the Sanctuary-realm. He would be of the level of the Ashen Warlock then, and not many forces would dare trifle with him.
The young President also had a group of decent mages under him. Also, many forces were said to have good relations with the Tower of Dusk—like the Glittergold Union, the Brilliance Shrine, oh, and the Darkness Shrine… Hutton had seen with his own eyes that the High Priest of the Darkness Shrine, Sendros, had been chatting away with the young President…
Needless to say, while the Tower of Dusk had only been around for a short while, they were almost destined to become one of the strongest forces of the Breezy Plains.
In comparison, the Syer Bandits were pathetic…
The most powerful person in the entire Syer Bandits was Vanskore, who was at level-18, but where was he? He had already died at the hands of the young President in the Scar of Death, and amongst those who died with him were also the 300 most elite warriors of the Syer Bandits…
What would happen if the two forces collided? Hutton did not even need his brain to know that it was not going to be much of a fight, if any at all…
If that President Felic still sent someone with a letter even though the difference in strength was so extreme, then there had to be more to this than it appeared to be.
He wanted the Malfa Family to make their stance clear…
This was indeed President Felic’s way of doing things. On the surface, he was low-key and mild, but only those who had interacted with him would know that this person was beyond arrogant. He had sent a letter over, and while he appeared to be friendly, the only thing the letter was trying to say was that the Malfa Family could either choose to be closely related to the Tower of Dusk, or they could choose not to have anything to do with the Tower of Dusk at all… Wait, Hutton suddenly remembered something, the handwriting was off…
d.a.m.n it, this b.a.s.t.a.r.d can’t even write his own letters!
But still, none of that anger could be seen on Hutton’s face. On the contrary, there was no anger on Hutton’s face at all—all he did was smile even more widely at Beckley…
Well, that was how things were now.
The Malfa Family and the Dark Blade had been feuding for the past century or so, and even Cheyenne, who had entered the Legendary-realm, could not lead the Malfa Family out of this predicament. Only during Hutton’s time did an opportunity present itself in the form of the newly set up Tower of Dusk.
After experiencing the journey into the Abyss of Tharlen and seeing how the young President had pulled off a miracle after miracle did Hutton regret his decision back then. The biggest mistake of his life was convincing Vanskore to set up an ambush in the Scar of Death.
He had had to put in 100 times more effort to make up for that wrong decision, and only when they left the Abyss of Tharlen and the Blackstone Mountains did his effort result in a small payoff. The young President finally decided to make the Malfa Family an ally, but Hutton knew that this relations.h.i.+p was incredibly fragile, and a small mistake could render it moot.
When that happened, he would surely face more trouble than he had in the Blackstone Mountains. That young President of the Guild of Magic was definitely a paranoid man, one who would not hesitate to strike first if he felt threatened. He was the kind who would deal a fatal blow that’d ensure that the threat never had the chance to surface before it was completely wiped out. The only reason he was still fine was because he had put in enough effort after the incident and was lucky…
He had to admit, he’d been incredibly lucky back in the Blackstone Mountains.
Stephen’s timely appearance had diverted the young President’s attention, and Hutton could not help but celebrate the fact. If not for Stephen’s arrival, he would most likely have been the one to meet with Stephen’s tragic fate…
Looking back at the letter, he saw that he was to send out 50 mages who were at least level-10 to help the Tower of Dusk in their quest to exterminate the Syer Bandits. It was a difficult feat for the Malfa Family indeed—50 mages of at least level-10 would make a decent troop anywhere, and it was a difficult task to send out a troop like that just because this young President gave the word. What if the Dark Blade suddenly struck? The Malfa Family would be in huge trouble…
But still, this was a rare opportunity for the Malfa Family to be tied closely to the Tower of Dusk—an opportunity for the Malfa Family to be set free of the Dark Blade!
