Chapter 642 The Truth Twisted
They were stunning-and there were two of them.

The other members of the Wyrmshade Squad were drawn to the two womerr as well. One was fiery and the other icy, but both were equally striking.
Riley smiled and said, “When I heard Ashen was coming too, I was a little surprised. I didn’t expect you to actually show up.”
Alan’s expression didn’t change as he replied, “We didn’t have a choice. We had a blade at our throats.”
Riley simply smiled.
Kenneth approached another Divine King standing beside Riley.
“Cousin, are you all right?”
The man stood nearly seven feet tall, making him the tallest person there. He was heavily muscled, and his stern features made him intimidating even at rest.
Wesley Langford shook his head and said, “We lost two squad members.”
He frowned. “The reports said you entered the mountains a week ago. Why did it take you so long to get here?”
Several squad members’ eyes narrowed.
So he’s blaming us for being late?
Before Kenneth could speak, Miles cut in, “We could’ve arrived earlier, but certain people acted selfishly, and we lost valuable time recovering from our injuries.”
His accusation immediately drew everyone’s attention.
The members of the five Awakened Squads were taken aback.
Ashen’s members looked especially grim.
Is this bastard trying to use them to settle the score with us?
The Wyrmshade members’ expressions darkened at Miles’s accusation.
A cold glint entered Wesley’s eyes.
“What happened? Who would stir up trouble at a time like this? Don’t the lives of our fellow soldiers matter?” His voice was icy.
This is no time for games. How could anyone still put their own interests first?
His squad had been fighting desperately. If the reinforcements had arrived just a little sooner, those two soldiers might still be alive.

That’s absolutely unforgivable.
Kenneth remained silent. As captain, he had no need to make the accusation himself.
Kenneth smiled inwardly. Some debts had to be settled sooner or later.
Riley’s expression soured as well.
After all, the people who had died were their fellow soldiers.
The members of Ashen and the Valkyries Squad all looked grim.
Is that damned bastard trying to frame us?
The members of Soulreaver and Team Polaris watched as though they were enjoying the show.
The Nebula Squad members looked conflicted. They owed Steven their lives, so they couldn’t turn on him
now.
Miles said, “Wesley, here’s what happened.
“We ran into a massive beast tide on the way here and were nearly wiped out.
“Ashen and the Valkyries Squad didn’t show up until much later, and we barely managed to drive back the beast tide after they arrived.”
At that, every member of Ashen and the Valkyries Squad glared furiously at him.
Showed up much later? Barely managed?
Shane shouted, “Miles, are you even human? Why don’t you explain exactly what you mean by ‘much later’?
“Would you have ended up in that situation if you hadn’t refused to join forces with us?
“If we hadn’t stepped in, would you still be alive to stand here accusing us? You ungrateful piece of trash!”
Miles shot back, “Am I wrong? You’re saying we refused to travel with you? You were moving too slowly. Were we supposed to wait for you? Why didn’t you catch up?”
Shane roared, “You bastard…”
Wesley barked, “Shut up! Let him speak!”
The crushing pressure of a Divine King erupted from Wesley.
Wesley had to find out exactly what had happened. If someone’s actions had delayed the reinforcements. he would make them pay.
Although Shane was still furious, he didn’t dare say anything more under the pressure of a Divine King.
Alan fixed Miles with a cold stare and gave Shane a reassuring pat on the shoulder.

Only then did Shane reluctantly back down.
Let’s see how far he can twist the truth.
Wesley looked at Miles and said, “Keep talking. What exactly delayed you?”
With Wesley’s permission, Miles stopped holding back and began twisting the story.
“Wesley, we lost a lot of time fighting the beast tide. The Nebula Squad lost two members, and the rest of us were badly injured.
“We had no choice but to stop and treat our injuries, which cost us even more time.
“But we wouldn’t have needed nearly as long to recover.”
Wesley frowned and asked, “Why not?”
The members of the Wyrmshade Squad listened carefully.
Miles explained, “Someone in Ashen knows how to roast beast meat. Once it’s cooked, the unstable berserk energy vanishes.
“The meat becomes safe to eat, and anyone who eats it starts recovering from their injuries. Its healing effect is incredibly powerful, allowing the body to recover at an astonishing rate.
“It can return someone to peak condition far faster thany normal.”
Everyone in the Wyrmshade Squad looked surprised by the claim.
Riley said, “That’s impossible. Everyone knows beast meat is inedible. The stronger the beast, the more violent the energy in its flesh. Eating it can easily make someone explode.”
