Chapter 680: Captain Reed’s Surprise!
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
Leader Yerkes might not have realized it at the beginning, so he didn’t think about it.
“Do you have a detention center here?”
Lugh asked the captain.
Leader Yerkes thought about it for a moment. There was no place in the Union that could detain Monkey. There were too many people in the Union! Once Monkey woke up with the Puppeteer’s consciousness, it would be terrible!
At that time, they would not even know how many people the Puppeteer had controlled!
“Is Monkey afraid of sunlight now?” Leader Yerkes asked. Just now, Lugh had said that the Puppeteer’s main body, the black bead, was afraid of sunlight. That was why Yerkes had such a question.
If Monkey absorbed the black bead and was infected with the weakness of the previous generation of the Vampire Puppeteer who was afraid of sunlight, it would be easy!
Lugh thought for a moment and shook his head. “He shouldn’t be!”
“According to my deduction, the body of this Puppeteer is changed according to the current host’s constitution! On the way back, Monkey’s breathing was always uniform! His breathing didn’t become rapid or slow under the sunlight…”
Leader Yerkes nodded after hearing that. It seemed that he could only borrow the detention center from the Captain of the Royal Guards, Reed!
Moreover, it was necessary to report to them that the problem of the Puppeteer in the Undead Mountain Range had been solved! But now, a new problem had appeared!
The leader made his decision and said, “Let’s go to the Royal Guards!”
However, at this moment, Lugh stopped Leader Yerkes, who was about to leave.
“Leader, give me the reward for this mission and the Evolution Grass first!”
Lugh was a little impatient. He had originally come for the reward for this mission!
Now that he had completed the mission, he naturally had to receive the reward for this mission — the Evolution Grass!
This was so that the little Wyvern could be born earlier. At that time, the little Wyvern would be able to return to the Dragon Clan earlier and meet his parents!
Leader Yerkes was also stunned for a moment. At this moment, he suddenly felt as if something had become clear to him.
“Information on the Puppeteer in the Undead Mountain Range… Evolution Grass… Captain of the Royal Guards…”
When these keywords were linked together, Leader Yerkes immediately reacted!
‘The Royal Guard Captain, Reed, is the client for this mission!’
‘No wonder Reed was so concerned about the matter regarding the Undead Mountain Range this time. He even knew that the Puppeteer had appeared in the Undead Mountain Range before me!’
‘At first, I thought that Reed only knew about the appearance of the Puppeteer so quickly because he had a special intelligence organization!’
‘But now, it seems that Reed had already set his sights on the Undead Mountain Range!’
‘And I had heard that Reed obtained a reward from the royal family! He had obtained an unknown herb!’
‘Now it seems that it is undoubtedly the Evolution Grass!’
The leader who understood this was slightly angry!
‘So this person had actually discovered the abnormality of the Undead Mountain Range!’
‘In order not to contribute, he actually issued a mission and wanted our Adventurers’ Union to scout for him? This Reed is really too much of a bully!’
‘Does he really think that our Adventurers’ Union has no one?’
Thinking of this, the aura on Yerkes’ body instantly exploded!
A level 36 top-tier expert’s strength exploded!
Although Leader Yerkes wore a grinning oily uncle’s face every day, it was hard to believe that such a fatty was actually a top-tier expert of the Imperial Capital!
The number one powerhouse of the Adventurers’ Union!
Level 36 Leader Yerkes!
At this moment, Rabbit was scared back a few steps by this aura!
Coachman Sali was also over level 30, so he was obviously not scared by this aura.
But to Leader Yerkes’ surprise, a level 25 man like Lugh was actually unmoved by this aura?
He didn’t know that Lugh had never been afraid of two level 40 Wyverns chasing after him. Why would he be afraid of a level 35 person?
However, Leader Yerkes didn’t care about this. Wasn’t a top-notch genius supposed to be different from ordinary people?
Moreover, Leader Yerkes’ heart was completely on the other side!
“Let’s go to the Royal Guards! We’ll go and find trouble with Reed!”
After saying that, Leader Yerkes glanced at Lugh and continued:
“Your Evolution Grass is also over there!”
“Let’s settle the old and new scores together!”
…
Royal Guards.
Reed was arranging his subordinates to be on guard against the upcoming ‘Puppeteer’ storm.
“All of you, be on alert!”
“It’s very likely that we’ll enter an emergency state of alert!”
“…”
The Captain of the Royal Guards gave a few orders in a row.
Only after everyone had taken action did Reed have the time to sit down and rest.
“I didn’t expect the Puppeteer to appear again!”
“Luckily I issued a mission ahead of time and asked the Adventurers’ Union to investigate the incident in the Undead Mountain Range. What a wise decision!”
Thinking of this, Reed suddenly felt that he was still as smart as ever!
He had crushed Yerkes in terms of IQ!
That’s right!
Reed and Yerkes were good friends who grew up together!
They were both friends and opponents!
Usually, Yerkes used his IQ to crush him.
But now it was his turn to play with Yerkes with his IQ!
Reed couldn’t help but feel a little smug.
But before Captain Reed could enjoy this moment, an urgent voice interrupted his thoughts.
“Captain! Someone is here to see you!”
Reed looked at the messenger with a frown.
“Who is making such a fuss!”
“It is Leader Yerkes from the Adventurers’ Union!”
“He also brought a few people wearing Zodiac masks. They are coming towards us aggressively!”
“He is still mumbling something: I am here to receive the reward for this mission!”
When Captain Reed heard this, he immediately became nervous.
‘What? Could it be that this fatty Yerkes has already discovered the mission of the Undead Mountain Range that I secretly set?’
‘Impossible!’ Captain Reed immediately denied this thought in his heart.
‘I secretly issued the mission. Even if Yerkes is the leader of the Adventurers’ Union, he doesn’t have the right to know who issued the mission. Otherwise, the centuries-old reputation of the Adventurers’ Union would be smashed by Yerkes as the leader!’
‘And most importantly, Yerkes said that he is here to receive the reward? This is obviously impossible!’
‘One has to know that there is a Puppeteer behind this mission in the Undead Mountain Range!’
‘How can it be completed so quickly?’
That was what Captain Reed thought in his heart.
In the next moment, Yerkes walked in with Lugh and the others.
“I say, you, Reed, are actually successful!”
“You actually dare to tease me?”
Before they saw each other, Reed heard Yerkes’ thick voice reaching his ears.
“Hahaha! How dare I tease our Adventurers’ Union Leader?”
