691 Three strong teams (1/2)
Based on his underhand methods to try and stall Quinn from coming back, Quinn felt like it was enough to not work with them. After all, soon they would be going to try and take over other planets, and it was a time when they didn't need internal fighting.
It was unlike when the Crows had joined the Cursed faction. They were willing and felt like they owed Quinn and the others. As for the Parasites, some wouldn't accept this fact.
It was a shame because of all the resources they had, but stripping the Parasites of everything was basically a death sentence to them in the way the current world was.
”A bold choice,” Hector commented as Quinn walked past.
”Thank you for coming,” Quinn replied respectfully. ”And thank you for the information about the Blades before, I hope Owen is doing okay.”
If it wasn't for Owen relaying the information of where the Blades' island was, they perhaps would have never found Vorden. The information they had given was vital in allowing them to pick the perfect time to save him.
Hector looked towards Sil for a second, who seemed to be surrounded by others who were curious about his ability. They now knew why Fex was complimenting him so much, and they were wondering how it worked. However, his face was flushed red, and Sil didn't know how to deal with the sudden interest.
”That boy, he's a Blade, correct?” Hector asked.
Quinn didn't know how to answer at this point, and he didn't know if he even should answer.
”Don't worry about it; I just hope that you came to an agreement with the Blades rather than made an enemy out of them. You have made quite a good group for yourself here, Quinn. As you get stronger, there will be more eyes on you.” Hector said, looking in the direction of Helen. ”A message from Owen. There's an open space for you where you can become a major powerhouse in this world. Us coming here today was betting on you becoming it. We hope our relationship in the future can continue.”
With that, Hector and his men were off, leaving Quinn with a lot to think about.
[New quest received]
[Become recognised as one of the big three]
[Quest reward ????]
Maybe this is what Quinn needed to finally level up to the next evolution.

A couple of days had gone past since the event had happened. There were no disputes between the two factions, but at the same time, there were no chances for any disputes to happen. The Cursed faction had still put quests on hold until the Parasites eventually left the planet.
”At the moment, Daisy has a total of four planets, Pure have three, and are currently in the middle of taking over their fourth.” Sam started to explain, showing them a part of the area of space the Crow's planet was in. The actual Cursed ship was still located nearby earth in the Graylash area. ”Daisy has managed to get the other factions to submit by making deals or showing their outright strength, making it easier for them.
”Whereas Pure has been met with resistance everywhere they go. Still, even though this is the case, they have taken over the planets at a fast rate. We have confirmed that their leader has not been seen. Just as Layla and Cia reported, it is a smaller team, still they have brought with them some strong members.
”At the moment, six unclaimed planets are left nearby that have a few small factions hovering around. I have made a route, going from one planet to the next, even if we are able to beat them quickly, it's most likely that we will have time to only claim three planets by then and the other two claiming the majority.
”If this is the case, it will be a hard struggle to defend the planets we have, or convince people over to our side. ”
