Chapter 2678: The Assembly

As they approached the white building in the distance, Yuan glanced at Ironwoman as he noticed that her hair was a different color than usual.

Noticing Yuan’s gaze, Ironwoman turned to look at him, and that’s when Yuan noticed that her eyes had also changed color.

"Are you wondering about my disguise?" she asked.

"Somewhat, but I can already guess why."

"Oh? You can? Let’s hear it."

Yuan shrugged and revealed his thoughts.

"There’s only one reason anyone disguises themselves—to hide their true identity. And considering you’re going out of your way to enhance your disguise when you already wear a mask all the time, I can only assume there’s someone at the assembly who might recognize you, and you’re trying to prevent that."

"..."

The Ironwoman fell silent at his words.

"Did I get it wrong?" Yuan asked.

"I’m not telling you," she replied.

Yuan smiled and didn’t pursue the matter further.

But that was not the end of the conversation, as the Supreme General suddenly turned to look at Yuan and asked, "And why are you wearing a mask? Are you also trying to hide your identity from someone in the assembly?"

"I don’t want to disrupt the assembly with my handsome face," he joked, leaving both the Supreme General and Ironwoman speechless.

Of course, Ironwoman was well aware of the real reason Yuan was hiding his face—that he was actually the main subject of the assembly.

One would expect the Ironwoman or General Mei to reveal this information to the Supreme General before the assembly, but they kept it to themselves.

It wasn’t that they didn’t trust the Supreme General, either. They simply decided to let Yuan handle it all by himself.

"We have arrived," the servant announced as they reached the gate.

When it opened, a single path was revealed, lined with flowers on both sides and leading toward another gate at the entrance of the massive white building.

Although they couldn’t see them from where they stood, eight other similar paths surrounded the building, each designated for a different city.

The servant continued leading Yuan and the others into the building. Inside, they were greeted by a grand hallway adorned with paintings and other works of art.

At the end of the hallway stood a large door that opened into a spacious white chamber with a massive circular table at its center.

Nine seats were arranged around the table, each marked with a distinct flag representing one of the nine cities.

Just as the representatives of Gaia’s Heaven stepped into the room, the representatives from the other eight cities entered as well.

Without exchanging a word, the highest-ranking authority from each group made their way to the table and took their seats, while everyone else remained standing along the walls.

Once all of the seats were occupied, a tenth individual stepped forward and spoke loudly, "Gaia’s Heaven."

"Present," the Supreme General said aloud.

"Spirit City."
