Chapter 555: This Chess Game is Extremely Ruthless!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Harlan Jones really did not want to do it anymore!
In the 23 provinces, he was ranked first.
What did this mean?
This meant that he was a conferred king.
No wonder the capital’s dark division had always wanted to transfer Harlan back to the Capital.
Because of his qualifications, achievements, and strength, he should have been promoted long ago and transferred to the dark division headquarters to take up a higher position.
Harlan had been using all sorts of excuses to evade the responsibility these few years.
Now, he finally told the truth.
At this moment, everyone realized something.
The captain and commander of the Central Plains main team were all from the Northern Army.
They were the people of Northern King Braydon Neal.
However, they did not expect that even the leader of the Hamptons’s dark division was a hidden agent of the Northern Army.
This meant that no matter how big or small the matter was, it could not be hidden from the northern territory!
Braydon stood with his hands behind his back and turned to look at Harlan. His thin lips moved slightly. “From today onward, you will be an open agent. Immediately investigate everything that has happened in the past ten years.”
“Yes, sir!”
Harlan’s face darkened. Braydon had said it himself.
The matter was already set in stone and could not be changed!
Moreover, Braydon’s orders were military orders.
Military orders were like mountains, so Harlan had to do it immediately.
At this moment, everyone present knew the identity of the white-robed youth on the stage.
He was the Northern King!
The great lord of the northern territory, a genius of a thousand years.
Braydon crossed his hands behind his back and stepped into the sky. He flew into the wind and entered the small forest in the examination arena.
“Big Brother!” Ginny Neal shouted happily.
“Little girl, do you know how cruel it is now between martial artists?”
The tenderness in Braydon’s eyes could not be concealed. “What are you doing here?” Heather Sage rolled her eyes.
“Just for a small matter.”
Braydon smiled at Charles Lansky.
In the end, Charles knelt down on one knee, cold sweat dripping down his forehead. He cupped his fists and said, “Martial artist Charles Lansky greets Lord Northern King!”
“There’s no need to be so formal. Charles, I have a question. After that, I will leave and not disturb your martial arts exam.”
Braydon finished.
Charles stood at the side, quietly waiting for the young man’s question.
To be honest, he was a little flustered, and he was panicking a great deal! He knew what he had done.
In the forest examination arena, Charles had snatched Ginny’s metal token. She was the biological sister of the Northern King.
Such a big shot could kill Charles with just a word.
Braydon looked at him and asked softly, “I want you to join the Northern Army.
What do you think about that?”
It was a personal invitation from the commander of the Northern Army.
He was inviting Charles to join the Northern Army.
This honor could be counted on one’s fingers in the Northern Army!
This was an acknowledgment.
It was glory!
Charles had no reason to refuse.
He was a casual martial artist and did not have any powerful forces to rely on. He had to endure the humiliation of the rich sons of aristocratic families in the outside world.
Charles wanted to pass the martial arts examination and display his talent.
Now, Braydon was giving him this chance.
In the future, he would be able to make contributions and become famous throughout Hansworth!
Charles clenched his fists tightly. The desire in his eyes could not be suppressed at all.
His eyes were slightly red. As a martial artist, he had no one to rely on. He had cultivated to this point all by himself.
Now, he was being acknowledged.
It was King Braydon’s acknowledgement at that.
It was enough to be the glory of his life.
But Charles said hoarsely, “Lord Northern King, I can’t promise you!”
“Why?”
Braydon was neither embarrassed nor angry, calmly looking at this seventeen-year-old youth.
At this age, rejecting the Northern King’s invitation was a hard thing to do for a martial artist like Charles.
Of the three armies, nine departments, and twenty-four divisions, the Northern Army was undoubtedly the most appealing.
Tears flowed down from the corners of his eyes. He grinned brightly and said cheerfully, “Being able to obtain the recognition of the Northern King in this lifetime is my greatest honor. However, I participated in the martial arts examination not for fame and fortune, but for my brother!”
“When you pass the martial arts examination and enter the capital, you want to find a famous doctor to treat your brother?”
Braydon had heard Charles mention his brother through his laptop.
He was the person who crippled a Youngblood family disciple last year.
However, in the end, his results were forcefully revoked, and he was disqualified from being an examinee. That night, he was crippled by the Youngblood family’s experts.
It seemed that this person was not dead yet!
Charles nodded heavily and said firmly, “I want to enter the capital to become a disciple of the national doctor, Faris Jeter. If the national doctor does something, he will definitely be able to cure my brother. I don’t have anything to hire a national doctor, so I’m willing to become his disciple. I don’t care if I have to be a slave or a servant for the rest of my life!”
This was Charles’s goal!
If it was not for this purpose, Charles would not have participated in the martial arts examination.
Some children had long given up on the martial arts examination!
In their hearts, the martial arts examination had already become the channel for the descendants of the various aristocratic families to advance.
Casual martial artists with no background would only participate in the assessment to join in on the fun. Talented examinees who dared to offend the descendants of aristocratic families would end up like Charles’s brother.
How could they not feel dejected by that prospect?
Braydon’s eyes flashed with a bright light. He suddenly asked, “Have any of you come into contact with people from any sects?”
“What? Yes!”
Charles somehow felt that he was close to Braydon. He said whatever he wanted and did not hide anything.
Therefore, he answered frankly.
Charles recalled and added, “Actually, many young martial artists my age don’t participate in the martial arts examination because they are in contact with people from sects.”
“Why not?” Braydon asked.
Charles smiled bitterly and said, “The martial arts examination has long been a path for the descendants of aristocratic families to advance. I participated in the martial arts examination this year for my brother. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have participated. Moreover, if it wasn’t for the Northern King’s protection, the
Youngblood family would surely cripple me.”
His words were filled with bitterness.
A casual martial artist could not compete with a powerful family!
Some people were born with a gap between them and others.
This gap would last for a lifetime!
At this moment, Braydon’s thin body faintly emitted killing intent. He calmly said, “This game of chess is a ruthless one!”
“Huh?”
Charles did not understand what he meant.
“The martial arts examination is controlled by the various aristocratic families,” Braydon said indifferently.” The spots are divided amongst them and become a channel to the capital to choose the various major factions.
“As for children like you who have no background, the sects send people to find you and offer you an olive branch. Many children have no choice but to join them!
“These two great entities have joined forces to control the martial arts examination.
“They have cut off your only chance to serve the country!
“The evil in their bones is beyond my imagination!”
At this moment, Braydon was truly enraged.
The martial and civil examinations were the foundation of the country. The outstanding children selected would be the pillars of the country in the future.
But now, the martial arts examination was being controlled by the aristocratic families and sects!
