Chapter 644 The Truth Behind the Delay

Finished

Alan stepped up behind Steven.

Riley barked, “Enough

An even more powerful aura erupted from Riley and scattered the two opposing forces.

“Are you planning to start fighting each other right here?”

As captain of the Wyrmshade Squad, Riley had to bring the situation under control.

Steven’s unexpected strength had made the confrontation genuinely dangerous.

If Steven had been weaker, the situation would’ve been different.

Riley might’ve allowed Wesley to teach him a lesson.

However, Steven’s strength had stunned him. It far exceeded anything he’d expected.

Having someone that powerful on their side was good news.

Wesley gave a cold snort and glared at Steven.

“Since when did Ashen have someone like him?”

Riley stepped forward.

“Everyone, calm down. There’s no need to fight over this. Just explain what happened.”

Riley looked at Steven.

“You’ve certainly surprised me. Let him go.”

Steven glanced at him.

“Sorry, Captain, but I can’t let him go.”

Riley frowned.

“Why not?”

Steven glanced at Miles, who was still coughing up blood.

“Some things need to be clarified. Ashen was falsely accused, and I’m not patient enough to let that slide.”

Miles groaned in pain. “Steven! What did I say that was wrong?”

Steven sneered. “What did you say that was wrong?”

“Everything you said was wrong! That bastard Kenneth told you to use his relationship with Wesley to turn the Wyrmshade Squad against us, didn’t he?”

Kenneth flew into a rage. “You’ve got a death wish!”

Frearslan

Steven raised his head and fixed Keimeth with an icy stare. “Do you think I can’t kill you with one punch? Shut up if you want to live, It’s/my turn to speak!”

Kenneth’s face flushed with rage before turning pale.

Steven looked at Riley and Wesley. He’d heard everything Miles had said earlier.

He’d only wanted to see how far the man would go to smear Ashen’s name.

“First, let’s talk about the delay. Team Polaris and Soulreaver were the ones who slowed us down. It had nothing to do with Ashen or the Valkyries Squad.

“This was the fastest we could’ve gotten here. We had beast meat and they didn’t, but we all still arrived together, didn’t we?

“They kept moving before their injuries had fully healed, so how exactly did we waste any time?

“If anyone delayed us, it was Team Polaris. They deliberately held back and forced us to risk our lives while they barely lifted a finger. They’re the ones who really slowed us down!”

Kenneth and the others erupted in anger.

“You’re falsely accusing us!”

Steven scoffed. “Ask everyone here if I’m lying. Over the last two days, weren’t we always the ones fighting at the front?

“And weren’t you the ones hanging back and doing next to nothing?

“If you’d fought with everything you had, wouldn’t/we have broken through the beast tide sooner?”

The Team Polaris members’ faces darkened.

They hadn’t fought with all their strength.

Miles, who was still beneath Steven’s foot, argued, “That was because we were all injured.”

Steven scoffed. “Really? Then take a look. Does this look like you were too injured to fight?”

As soon as Steven finished speaking, he played a recording.

It showed the five squads fighting the beasts.

In the footage, Steven, Alan, and Shane were leading their teammates in a desperate fight at the front.

The Nebula Squad had also fought hard and given the battle everything they had.
