Chapter 694: Chapter 418: The Rover River Remains the Original_3

Moreover, it is not about letting the four of you take care of my disciples, but to provide all of you with an opportunity to follow such a future-promising disciple of mine!

Let’s see how you would seize the moment.

Thus the Honored Lord has clarified, you shall secretly assist. However, I will not inform my disciple about your intentions. If you wish to pledge allegiance, first you must carry out good deeds, and then patiently wait for my disciple’s willingness to accept you.

The solution of Sir Owen that eliminates the ghost armies in one fell swoop, and his impressive performance, will ensure his Summit Metropolitan Office receives covert support from the Ghost Market as it advances along the Summit Command Office!

Indeed, it’s a triple win scenario.

This is part of the plan Sir Owen has formulated to infiltrate and control the East Prison Town Comfort Office via the Summit Command Office. It is an auxiliary yet not the only one. Sir Owen has decided to establish complete control over both banks of the Summit Command Office.

...

In recent years, Master Steven has been extremely pious and austere. He is homeless, often appearing with his fanatic followers and the rapidly expanding "Guardian Group" wherever the dissemination of River God faith is needed.

Every night for the past few years, Master Steven has been meditating quietly in the back hall of the divine temple, seeking to comprehend the greatness of River God on his own.

However, except for the night when the Guardian Holy Beasts appeared, he rarely receives direct revelations from River God. But Master Steven is incredibly steadfast in his belief and continues this ritual every night.

Tonight, Master Steven suddenly came to feel an immense aura emanating from the icon of River God, enveloping him entirely.

Immediately, he felt as though he were in the sacred domain of a great deity. Everything around him seemed to be bathed in a golden light, and an indiscernible, majestic aura made him appear extremely humble and insignificant.

"Your Majestic!" Master Steven was ecstatic. This was the first time that River God directly communicated with him. He prostrated himself before River God, willing to devote everything to him.

The thoughts of River God came rushing over him, and Master Steven instantly understood the intent of River God. Afterward, the colossal aura receded as rapidly as a tide, disappearing as though it had never existed.

"Secretly assist the Summit Metropolitan Office? The Summit Commandant was chosen by My God? Wonderful!" Master Steven was thrilled.

In the earlier years, William who was an ordinary citizen gained many insights from the River God faith without assistance, such as the need for the support of imperial officials for rapid dissemination of faith. History has shown that the rise of religious orders is the most direct manifestation, trying to obtain the support of the entire new imperial court.

Upon thorough contemplation, Master Steven found it unsurprising. The Summit Metropolitan Office controls the entire Summit Command Office, which entirely coincides with the primary area of diffusion of River God faith.

"The might of My God is unparalleled!"

This was the second strong assistant arranged by Sir Owen for his plan. Yet, to ensure the compliance of his Other Brother, Sir Owen reluctantly surrendered the Mountain Abyss Sword.

A Tire-7 Sword Artifact! Although it’s nowhere near the Ice and Snow Divine Sword, it’s still a significant loss for Sir Owen. After using his Other Brother’s body to convey orders, Elder Brother grabs the half-asleep Other Brother, who has eaten his fill, and emphasizes, "We need to give more goodies. We can’t just ask for a Tire-7 divine sword just for passing a message. We aren’t that affluent yet..."

Other Brother nodded sulkily and then fell fast asleep.

...

As the morning sun rose, the Prescott Group of the Looking Cloud Cliff at Summit Metropolitan Office has started to be in operation. This time, Sir Owen brought Leroy Baker, Catherine, Wayne Malvin, Greystone, and original members of the Summit Metropolitan Office David and Matthew.

Also, he assembled a thousand Military Officers from the Summit Metropolitan Office to accompany him.

Regarding personnel, Sir Owen pondered a lot. Firstly, he had to ensure the stability of Summit Metropolitan Office. Among Old Fisher and David, one must stay back to be in command.

Glenn Mitchell and the others who have recently joined the Fifth Great Realm haven’t grown yet. Even though they boast certain capabilities, they are unfamiliar with the affairs of the Horizon Bureau and lack the ability or experience to govern independently for the time being. They still need further cultivation and training.

At present, only David and Old Fisher are capable of handling affairs independently among Owen Bertram’s subordinates.

Over the years, David’s fiery temper has been honed, and he has already reached the fourth stage of the Fifth Great Realm and can be developed towards the Sixth Great Realm. In this regard, Old Fisher falls short. With age weighing on him, he is likely to stall at the Fifth Great Realm.

In the future, Lord Bertram will inevitably shuttle between Raleigh City and Looking Cloud Cliff. Both places need a leader. Raleigh City needs someone ambitious. With higher status and youthful vigor, David is more suitable than Old Fisher.

As for the Summit Metropolitan Office, everything is stable and Old Fisher is sufficient, but he needs a strong supplement, and Glenn Mitchell is fit for the role. This fellow is stubborn and principled. He won’t disobey orders just because Old Fisher’s status is not as high as his own.

At the same time, Owen Bertram leaves Verna at the Summit Metropolitan Office. He has taken her along on his previous visits to the capital and Sharon Mansion, but now, she understands that her elder brother is burdened with heavy responsibilities and that they can’t always be inseparable. Although she felt a bit disappointed this time, she didn’t insist on following her brother.

Only during the dinner last night, Verna cooked two large pots of food and force-fed her brother until he was stuffed.

The large team from the Summit Metropolitan Office left the Looking Cloud Cliff’s Prescott Group and traveled about three hundred miles east. Owen Bertram left Matthew to lead a thousand military officers, while he and the others boarded the Mechanical Flying Vehicle and hurried to Raleigh City.

Matthew had made a mistake before, and Lord Bertram had expelled him from the core circle. However, his performance afterward was satisfactory. Now requiring a large number of middle-level officials familiar with the affairs of the Horizon Bureau, Lord Bertram gave him a second chance.

Among those on the journey, another person in an awkward position similar to Matthew was another who could be considered half a prisoner. He was the East Prison Town Defense Command Thousand Households, Felix.

Over time Felix had been left alone in the dungeon under the Looking Cloud Cliff’s Prescott Group. He tried every way possible to chat with the jailer who brought him his meals, or even tried to bribe the jailer to help him out. Yet no one cared about him.

Now, being suddenly dragged out of the dungeon, Felix had a feeling that his life could be spared. He, however, was uncertain about what would happen next.

Owen Bertram left first. On the Mechanical Flying Vehicle, he had Felix brought to him: "You are involved in a case with the Red Barbarians. I deeply detest traitors who engage in private relations with foreigners. You should have been dealt with long ago. Do you know why you are still alive?"

Felix, crafty as a fox, quickly inferred Lord Bertram’s intentions: "Because I can be of use to you. I have an intimate understanding of East Prison Town Defense Command. You want to control it all, and I can help."

Inwardly, Felix felt bitter. His luck remained uncertain. He had worked for the East Prison Town Defense Command, and to spare his own life, he would have to assist Owen Bertram in confronting his former colleagues—people whose vicious nature he knew all too well. If they were pushed to a breaking point, he might also be implicated.

But to his surprise, Lord Bertram shook his head: "My question was why you are still alive. You are indeed useful, but that is not the reason why I have spared your life."

A surprised Felix cautiously said: "Please enlighten me, lord."

"If I were still in the Fifth Great Realm, your usefulness would indeed be the reason why you are still alive. But I am now in the Sixth Great Realm. My priorities have changed. Your usefulness is not enough to convince me to spare your life."

A lord in the Sixth Great Realm has the privilege of acting impulsively. If he is inconvenienced, he can have the offender killed. As for subsequent problems, the lord of the Sixth Great Realm has his own solutions.

"You are still alive because you said before that under Lin Ronald’s rule, there were bribes you dared not refuse."

Felix suddenly realized his words and then laughed bitterly: "I understand. Lord Bertram is giving me a chance to correct the wrong deeds committed when I was under unbearable circumstances in the past. Rest assured that I won’t let you down."

Owen Bertram had already made it clear: you said that because of Lin Ronald, there were things you were forced to do. Now I have given you a chance—without Lin Ronald, what would you do?

Correct your previous mistakes, and prove that what you said was sincere. If you refuse to correct them, then your words were lies, and the reason for my sparing you would be moot—your fate is in your own hands.
