Johan voiced, “An ultra female is indeed rare, but that shouldn't be enough to attract Theos' attention. There must be something else unusual about Mrs. Williams.”
Zeke bobbed his head. “Yeah. In any case, no matter the cost, I must save my wife.”
“Judging from the current situation, the most appropriate way would be for you to become a Camp Master and hide your identity to meet Theos. With your abilities, Great Marshal, becoming a Camp Master is as easy as pie. Leave this matter to me. I'll arrange for you to challenge a Centurion first, then a Legatus. As long as you win, you'll be able to become the Camp Master. A month later, you can meet Theos during the island's ritual.”
“Sure. Success is the only option this time.” Zeke nodded.
“Understood!”
“Theos is a blight on the country and the people. He even robbed Eurasia's Fortuna and abducted my wife. For committing such serious crimes, I will bring him to justice,” Zeke remarked. “Relax and survive in this place. I will bring you out of here safely.”
“Yes, sir!”
“Do you have any family in Eurasia?”
Johan nodded. “I have a wife, a daughter, and my eighty-year-old mother.”
“All right. Eurasia will definitely not mistreat its heroes and their families. After you escape safely, you'll be rewarded handsomely!” Zeke promised.
Again, Johan was so worked up that he got down on his knees. “Thank you, Great Marshal!”
With that, Zeke left.
Long after he was gone, Johan still couldn't calm down.
What Johan had never dared to dream about in the past had actually happened.
He finally saw a ray of hope.
Without further ado, he stopped dwelling on it and headed to Centuria's district to select an opponent for the Great Marshal.
Only when the Great Marshal successfully challenges a Centurion can he enter Centuria's district and become a Centurion.
After much consideration, Johan finally decided to let the Great Marshal challenge the leader of Calixion, whose name was Calix.
Calix was the weakest among all Centurions, and Calixion was also the weakest group.
Having the Great Marshal challenge an insignificant Centurion would not attract much attention from others.
Before long, Johan arrived at Calixion's base.
Calixion's base was several times larger and stronger than the base of Apollyon's Archfiends.
Calixion had a least a few hundred members, and each of them was extremely skilled.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have made it into Centuria's district.
Just as Johan walked through the rock gate of Calixion, two burly men with weapons in their hands suddenly appeared on both of his sides, stopping him. “Stop. Who the f*ck let you enter!”
Although Johan was prominent in Contubernium's district and was respected by people there, he was a target of bullying in the Centuria's district.
Even the guards of Calixion dared to disrespect him.
Despite that, Johan was not vexed as he was used to it. “Please inform your Centurion, Calix, that I wish to talk to him.”
Oh?
The guard looked at him and said, “Why? The Centurion is very busy. He has no time to see you.”
Johan replied, “Is it because Calix has heard something? That's why he doesn't have the guts to meet me? Since Calix is scared, forget it then.”
“B*stard!”
A low roar came from a luxurious stone house, which sounded as though it was a roar from a beast.
Upon hearing that voice, the guards were terrified. They quickly bowed in the direction of the door. “Centurion, please calm down. We will chase this d*mned guy out of this place!” As they spoke, they were about to kick Johan out. “Scram, *sshole! Are you waiting for our leader to come out and kill you?”
“Hold on!” That baritone voice sounded again. “Since you're here, come and have a seat then.”
With that, a burly man stepped out of the stone house.
The chest guard on his chest was bigger than the face of an adult, and murderous intent was written all over his face, causing other people to shudder.
That person was none other than Calixion's Centurion, Calix, who was called “Bloodthirsty Monster” simply because he liked to drink human blood.
