Chapter 349: Chapter 321: Unexpected things always arrive unexpectedly (triple in one)_2

In the past, Owen Bertram might have jokingly said, "This distinguished one is going to flee the battlefield!" But now, faced with Rachel and Emma Scott, he didn’t.

Owen Bertram’s greatest harvest since entering Copper Gorge was not some strange treasure, but these two people before him.

The Scott Clan and the Lioyd Sect were the first ones that Lord Algernon, the Summit Commander, had drawn together.

Owen Bertram understood that he needed to maintain the dignity of a "superior officer" and not be as casual and lighthearted as before. He was always very clear-headed deep inside, knowing what he wanted and what he needed to do.

At first, he wanted to survive with his sister and help his brother recover from his injuries. In that situation, the boy’s heart would have certain ambitions, such as gazing at the stars and wanting to leave Extinct Village to explore the vast world outside.

Later, as his strength rapidly increased, he saw the hidden crisis between Wood Dynasty and the Horizon Bureau and hoped that he would at least have the power to protect himself and his sister when chaos came.

At this stage, he pushed his brother to eat and sleep more, to help him increase his strength.

As for his subordinates, the Horizon Captain, he tried to develop them into "brothers bound by life and death." Owen Bertram also knew that when he led the Summit Guard Post, he was like an ancient military leader.

But now, things have changed, and he has really become a superior officer. Being the Summit Commander gave him an impulse to establish his own power.

If chaos comes, would it be only for self-preservation? Why couldn’t he ride the wind and rise?

Owen Bertram seriously suspected that the two old foxes, Abner and Leonard, had seen through his intentions from the very beginning. They deliberately increased his power step by step, tempting out his ambition.

As long as his ambition expanded, he would strive to do things and increase his strength - inevitably becoming their strong left and right arm.

But even at this point, Owen Bertram was still very clear-headed. If it was impossible to be as reckless as a gambler, he would never put all his bets on the line. He had his brother and sister, and he had the confidence to make a comeback.

So now, the style of the "military leader" could not be allowed, and in the future, rewards and punishments must be clear.

Hence, Owen Bertram stood with his hands behind his back, looking back at the two of them, and explained, "Things have changed. Sometimes people have to learn to let go."

The two of them were puzzled, and Owen Bertram further explained, "What do you think Cecil Owen was doing yesterday?"

Rachel, of course, had a guess, "It should be that the four major forces have formed an alliance."

She stated her analysis, "The strength of the Demon Beings is too powerful. That night, all four families suffered heavy losses. At this time, if they want to snatch the Spiritual Treasure Embryo and those strange treasures, they can only join forces. Any family facing the Demon Beings alone would only suffer a great loss. Let alone seizing the treasure, it would be nice to leave Copper Gorge alive."

Owen Bertram continued, "The four families have joined forces, but it’s not that simple. Remember when Cecil Owen came back yesterday, he was excited but not very happy."

Rachel and Emma Scott still didn’t understand.

"The four families are led by the Sixth Great Realm. They don’t respect each other. Who will be the leader of the Great Alliance? How can they cooperate without a leader?

So, when Wind came to Cecil Owen yesterday, it must have been because a Seventh Level figure had stepped in and squeezed the four families together - do you understand? What other Seventh Level figure would appear at this time?"

Rachel was surprised and exclaimed, "It’s the Seventh Level person who released the news!"

Emma Scott found it hard to believe, "A people of the Seventh Level would do such a thing?"

First, they release the news, telling everyone that the opportunity lies within the Wood Dynasty. Then they adopt a high-profile posture and let the younger generation fight for it. This is what led everyone to fight for it. In the end, they suddenly appear, reorganize the various forces, and go with them to seize the Spiritual Treasure Embryo.

It’s a bit underhanded.

Owen Bertram ignored Emma Scott and continued, "Now do you understand? On the Demon Beings side, there is a Tier-7, and on the Human Race side, there is a Seventh Level figure. Why should we get involved with them? If we should leave, then we leave!"

Moreover, Owen Bertram did not reveal some situations. From the beginning, he suspected that the matter of the Spiritual Treasure Embryo was a "trap", and the planner intended to involve everyone. What he sought might not be just one Spiritual Treasure Embryo.

He had been following the investigation because the timing of the incident was too perfect. As soon as he took office as the Summit Commander, he was responsible for guarding Copper Gorge and causing such a commotion within Copper Gorge. So he wanted to find out who was behind it and whether it was related to him.

However, now that a Seventh Level figure suddenly appeared, the level of danger had increased sharply. And now that Owen Bertram was without Abner to keep him safe, what else was there to wait for if he didn’t run?

Was he stupid to challenge a Seventh Level figure in a contest of wits and bravery?

You just wait, when the opportunity arises, I’ll call Abner to fight you!

Thus, once Owen Bertram escaped from Cecil Owen’s control, he did not hesitate to flee.

It was just that decisive.

It was certainly a pity, after all, they had been following this for such a long time. Who didn’t have a little bit of luck in their hearts: What if the Spiritual Treasure Embryo just happened to choose me?

Moreover, that powerful Ghost Army was indeed tempting.

But, as Owen Bertram had just said to them: When it is time to let go, you have to let go. Otherwise, you will get stuck and never escape.

Even now, Owen Bertram had to be a little uneasy, not knowing whether he could escape or not.
