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 bythat black–robed man, and heard from Kate and Wade about Old Hagstorm’s past, which wascompletely different from what he knew and thought.
For a moment, Andrius had a splitting headache. He could not make sense of it.
Nothing made sense. His thoughts were all tangled and chaotic. He could not fathom the ultimate goalof 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 hadambitions for the position…

Noir immediately stopped the car.novelbin
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 CentralWarzone.” The soldier said with reddened eyes and gritted teeth, “Three days ago, our captain led uson a patrol in the city, and we encountered Kane Hardy, the young master of the Hardy family.
“He relied on his family’s influence and humiliated a girl in broad daylight, and even beat her boyfriendto 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 toapprehend Kane.
“However…”
At that point, Gerard’s expression turned furious, and he panted heavily. “That very night, our squadwas attacked by the Hardy family.
“The captain and deputy captain were dismembered and killed by the Hardys. The squad memberswho 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 escapeddeath 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…”
