Chapter 988
Andrius narrowed his eyes at Noir’s words.
That was indeed peculiar. He already felt something off earlier, but he did not dwell on it. In hindsight, the
emperor’s reaction seemed strange.
Could the emperor be hiding something from him, hence he was in such a hurry to build a grave?
However, what benefit would building a grave for Old Hagstorm bring?
Andrius‘ thoughts were muddled. He personally saw what happened to Old Hagstorm, was injured by that black–
robed man, and heard from Kate and Wade about Old Hagstorm’s past, which was completely different from what
he knew and thought.
For a moment, Andrius had a splitting headache. He could not make sense of it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNothing made sense. His thoughts were all tangled and chaotic. He could not fathom the ultimate goal of this
scheme and the role he played in it.
“Andy. Andy?” Noir called out in concern when Andrius froze.
“I’m fine.” Andrius snapped back to his senses and sighed deeply, saying, “Let’s go.”
Since he could not figure it out, there was no point dwelling on it. Time would reveal the answers.
The Ancient Martial Assembly was approaching. Just as Wade said, everything would be revealed after
the Ancient Martial Assembly and the Ancient Martial Alliance Chief was decided.
Whether it was part of Old Hagstorm’s plan and whether there were people behind him who had ambitions for the
position…
Everything would come to light.
Noir sighed in relief and asked, “Where are we going now?”
Andrius said, “Back to the military camp.”
Noir drove back to the Lycantroops‘ branch in Kiyoto.
After driving for less than ten minutes…
“Wolf King! You must speak up for us soldiers-”
Suddenly, a wheelchair rolled out from the side. An injured soldier wearing a tattered military uniform with one arm
and leg missing fell to the ground, crying loudly.
Noir immediately stopped the car.
Andrius got out of the car and helped the disabled soldier up, saying, “What happened? Tell me slowly. I won’t be
lenient as long as it concerns the soldiers‘ interests.”
“Thank you, Wolf King My name is Gerard Thornton, a member of the forces stationed in the Central Warzone.” The
soldier said with reddened eyes and gritted teeth, “Three days ago, our captain led us on a patrol in the city, and

“He relied on his family’s influence and humiliated a girl in broad daylight, and even beat her boyfriend to death in
front of her, showing complete disregard for law and order.
“According to the law, a person like that should be arrested and sentenced. Thus, our team prepared to apprehend
Kane.
“However…”
At that point, Gerard’s expression turned furious, and he panted heavily. “That very night, our squad was attacked
by the Hardy family.
“The captain and deputy captain were dismembered and killed by the Hardys. The squad members who
participated directly in the arrest each had all their limbs amputated.
“Only a few of us, including me, who were responsible for dispersing the crowd, narrowly escaped death at the
hands of the Hardys. However, we all paid the price of losing an arm and a leg.”
Gerard raised his head, tears welling up in his eyes. His gaze was filled with resentment. “Wolf King…”
