Chapter 547 - Being Used (3) (1/2)
The young man followed his older brother all the way back to the Skuld's headquarter. Along the way, these two brothers didn't talk to each other. Instead, the older brother seemed busy arranging some matters.
The young man kept on sighing along the way. He knew that his fate had already been settled. He could not compete anymore for the successor position. Moreover, the Pauper Bandit Group's leader, his trusted aides, had already fawned over his big brother.
The young man could only resign to his fate of being used by his big brother. Yes, the young man was being used by his big brother.
It could be seen from how many bandits were stationed at this passage. The passage should only have around 100 bandits to raid and protect the headquarters.
However, right now, the young man's older brother was here. Not only that, but there were more than 1000 bandits here. And all of them were his big brother's subordinates.
There was no way his older brother would station 1000 bandits here randomly. He must have known that the young man would come here. Instead of helping the young man when he still had many soldiers, the older brother only helped when almost all of the young man's troops had been killed.
Not only that, the older brother had hidden his power thoroughly. The last report that the young man had received said that his older brother only had around 800 bandits. However, the bandits here were surpassed that number. There should be more of them on his older brother's hideout.
The successor of the Skuld's leader had been settled with the young man's failures. Even the young man's second older brother already lost half of his power. Now, no one could contend with the eldest brother. The matter quickly closed.

On Auron's side, he and Peter had just arrived at the village. With the sun was just about to rise, the village was already bustling with people. The reinforcements requested by the village's head had arrived at this village.
These newly arrived soldiers began to take over the command control. They prepared to clear out the bandit around the area. Of course, there should be no bandits left since almost all of them had already killed or escape. However, they still had to do this.
Meanwhile, Peter and Auron didn't have anything left to do. Auron brought his students and went back along with the elite soldiers sent by the academy.
Auron knew he had failed his mission. However, he was not disappointed with the failure as he reported everything he knew to the headmaster. Throughout Auron's story, the headmaster only nodded his head several times.
At the end of Auron's story, the headmaster asked his students' opinions and comments. All of them replied enthusiastically, especially the girl. The headmaster smiled and nodded again before dismissed the students.
After the student left the room, the headmaster asked, ”What do you think about the students?”
”They were great, especially the girl. It seems that the girl also has an interest in the intelligence division. Maybe, you could give her a helping hand.” Auron replied with a smile.
