Only a high-ranking soldier from the North could issue a decree from the North.
Since they were considered a family, Zeke would not make things difficult for Boxing King.
“Please get up,” Zeke said.
“Thank you, Mr. Williams!” Boxing King got to his feet, staring at Zeke with a gaze filled with affection and gratefulness.
“Tell me. What's your identity? Why are you protecting Bryan?” Zeke inquired.
“I am the Seeker of Defeat, the first batch of the North's warriors and army chief of the North's Wolf Warriors,” Boxing King announced.
Oh?
The crowd's interest was piqued.
The North's army was formed decades ago, and its founder was a mysterious warrior.
There were only vague records of the first batch of warriors from the North. Even the identity of the North's founder was a secret that no one knew of.
Never in their wildest dream did they expect to meet someone from the first batch of the North's warriors.
The Seeker of Defeat was their senior. Immediately, everyone's gaze toward him changed, filled with kindness and respect.
Zeke, who was slightly interested, asked, “Since you're from the first batch of the North's warriors, then I have a question for you. Who is the founder of the North?”
With great respect, Boxing King answered, “Mr. Williams, the founder of the North is your master, Pietro White.”
Zeke was not the least surprised by this response. In fact, he had already guessed that the old man was the one who created the North.
After all, he was the only person in this world who was capable of doing such a thing.
Zeke continued, “You're one of Master Pietro's subordinates, too. Why didn't you follow him instead of hiding here, working as a boxer to eke out a living?”
Zeke continued, “You're one of Master Pietro's subordinates, too. Why didn't you follow him instead of hiding here, working as a boxer to eke out a living?”
Surprisingly, Boxing King got very emotional. “That's not true, Mr. Williams. My life has never been difficult. All these years, I've never forgotten my mission. In fact, I've been working hard without making any careless mistakes while I wait patiently for the master's return.”
Intrigued, Zeke asked, “Oh? Your mission? What is it?”
Boxing King paused for a while. He glanced at Sole Wolf and the others, looking as though he was suspicious of them.
Zeke continued, “Don't worry. These men are fine. They are my confidants. There's no need to be cautious of them.”
“I see,” Boxing King said. “Okay. Mr. Williams, do you know about the Northern Conquest Army?”
Zeke shook his head. “I don't.”
It was his first time hearing about them.
He turned to Sole Wolf and the others. “What about you guys?”
The crowd, too, shook their heads.
Zeke told Boxing King, “Go on.”
The latter nodded and explained, “Northern Conquest Army, as the name suggests, is an army that heads to the north and carries out conquests.”
At that moment, Boxing King gazed in the north's direction as he fell deep into thought, recalling an old memory.
Zeke, too, looked in the same direction. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat when a thought came to him.
The direction of the north. Isn't that where Mount Kush is? Could Northern Conquest Army be the secret team that went to conquer Mount Kush with Master Pietro?
Everyone's gaze was fixed on Boxing King, who explained everything slowly.
It turned out that, during Boxing King's early years, he was an elite boxer of the north and the south. Many of his fights were held abroad. He was so invincible that he won every fight, earning the title of the Boxing King.
One day, he encountered a powerful opponent who broke all four of his limbs, leaving him on the brink of death.
It was at this critical moment when Pietro saved his life. Boxing King had become the former's faithful follower ever since.
After that, Pietro brought him back to the North, creating the North's army that was led by Pietro and nine other army chiefs.
And after a year of development, the North's army began to take shape, and things were settling down. Suddenly, Pietro and all ten army chiefs, including Boxing King, headed north. He called them the Northern Conquest Army.
However, the army chiefs did not understand the meaning behind the name. Thus, they asked Pietro about it.
Unfortunately, Pietro avoided talking about it every time. In the end, the Northern Conquest Army decided to give up and stop asking.
With Pietro in the lead, the army traveled for ten days and arrived at Secret Realm of Mount Kush.
It was at that moment when they finally understood the meaning of the name “Northern Conquest Army.” With that in mind, they went on and conquered the secret realm.
Although they did not know why Pietro led them to conquer Mount Kush's secret realm, all of them vowed to serve Pietro till death. Hence, no one raised any objection.
