Chapter 607: Chapter 395: Anti-Sun Alliance_2

Someone whispered, "But during the first round, it was he who saved us all."

"Exactly," Wayne Malvin spoke confidently, "We heroes should be clear about gratitude and grudges. So, we should repay Owen Bertram’s lifesaving grace. If we are to encounter him in the future and he needs our help, we should do our utmost to help him. This is how we repay his kindness."

"However, the humiliations he inflicted on us during the last two rounds cannot be ignored. What I mean is, let the grudges of the Capital stay in the Capital. Let’s form an alliance. Before he leaves the Capital, we must find an opportunity to capture him and give him a good beating!"

"We must vent this anger, or else it might be difficult for us to focus on our cultivation in the future."

"But that’s where it should end. Once we’ve had our revenge, we’ll have to remember his kindness. How do you all feel about that?"

Leroy Baker observed secretly and found that Owen Bertram’s popularity... left much to be desired. Those present almost all revealed signs of being tempted by the idea. It was the person who spoke earlier that took the lead and said with a smile, "I think it’s a good idea. The Dragon and Snake List this time has been incredibly stifling. Let’s make it clear to him about our gratitude and grudges!"

Leroy Baker secretly thought that this person was most likely Wayne Malvin’s accomplice.

"I also think this is feasible." The crowd responded enthusiastically; after all, they had been severely abused from Zombie Cave to Eden Cave. They were proud talents and definitely felt indignant.

However, Leroy Baker looked at the impassioned crowd with a frown, quietly observing Wayne Malvin: were his intentions really so simple?

All the happenings in Adam Tower were transmitted to Colby Dominic in the next building through a magical instrument on Leroy Baker. Lord Bertram touched his chin, not being negligent: "Wayne Malvin’s intentions must not be that simple!"

The entanglement of grievances between him and Wayne Malvin had become too convoluted to sort out. The crucial point was that Wayne Malvin was likely to blame Owen Bertram for the missed opportunity of the Ice and Snow Divine Sword in Eden Cave.

If he were twisted-minded, he might use this so-called alliance to truly harm himself.

Initially, Lord Bertram only intended to use Wayne Malvin as a breakthrough to force Colby Dominic to compromise and satisfy Lord Liam’s demands. During this process, Owen Bertram would control the scale and not make things difficult for Wayne Malvin.

Now, Lord Bertram himself had to be more cautious, lest he miscalculate Wayne Malvin and be killed by him instead.

At Adam Tower, with a common "enemy," the talents from the same list suddenly had something to talk about. They opened their hearts, ate and drank, and discussed passionately how to create an opportunity to capture Owen Bertram and give him a good thrashing after putting him in a sack.

Sitting next to Leroy Baker, Catherine was still cold and aloof, but she wouldn’t lose her manners. Leroy Baker tried to make conversation with her, and she would respond, but she hardly ever initiated conversations with him herself.

When the banquet was halfway through, Catherine suddenly whispered to him, "Young Master Baker, what do you think of the plan against Lord Bertram?"

Leroy Baker suddenly realized that Catherine had used a sound transmission technique. His heart was moved, he smiled and said, "I’m actually a bit confused. Our Moses Sect’s business deal with His Majesty was mediated by Lord Bertram. Why would Wayne Malvin invite me to discuss forming an alliance against Owen Bertram?"

Catherine replied: "Wayne Malvin thinks that it was Owen Bertram who recommended your Moses Sect to His Majesty, causing you to pay an exorbitant amount of Spirit Jade. Moreover, I heard that His Majesty took a share of your business, and you have to pay him an annual tribute. Your Moses Sect’s relationship with Lord Bertram might not be as harmonious as it appears to the outside world, and perhaps you harbor deep hatred towards him."

Leroy Baker calmly said, "This is where Wayne Malvin falls short compared to Owen Bertram."

Catherine nodded gently, "I understand." She then said nothing more.

No one noticed their brief and secret exchange as everyone was discussing enthusiastically. The performance in the building concluded, drawing applause from the audience. Leroy Baker raised his wine cup and said loudly, "Everyone is in high spirits. It would be a pity to end the party here— after eating and drinking, let’s go to the Insect Arena next door. I’ll cover the costs, and there’s a big match happening today!"

"Great!" The crowd agreed. They finished their wine, Wayne Malvin settled the bill, and the group excitedly crossed the small door of the Adam Tower to enter the Insect Arena next door.

The arena belonged to the Fifth Prince. Since today’s match was important, the private rooms were already full, and even the hall was packed. However, Young Master Baker had money to spare, so he grabbed a servant, whispered a few words, and the servant went to the front row. Those who were approached gladly accepted a sum 10 times the original ticket price, gave up their seats with smiles, and went to watch the match from the back row.

"Please sit, please sit..." Leroy Baker invited everyone to sit down. In the center of the arena, under the seal of twelve massive array pillars, two Tier-4 Spirit Insects were fighting fiercely and splendidly.

However, as soon as they sat down and looked up at the match, they saw a person standing with his hands behind him in a window of a private room opposite and above them, looking proud and extraordinary. It was Owen Bertram!

Everyone felt a bit guilty.

Honestly speaking, other than Wayne Malvin who might have ulterior motives, most people discussing action against Owen Bertram were driven by a mischievous mindset, merely annoyed by the "bullying" they suffered in Zombie Cave and Eden Cave. But suddenly encountering Lord Bertram now brought back the fear of being under his control during those two rounds...
