Strange rumors started to circulate in the East.

It was said that the new stars from the Southern Wizard Tower, Central Wizard Tower and the East had been beaten black and blue by a single person. According to the rumors, Lieutenant Colonel Iron Carter, the Northeast’s Hero, smashed all three of them all by himself.

At first, the people did not believe these hearsays at all.

“Say something that makes sense.”

“Three versus one?”

“But he’s the Northeast’s Hero, I think he can do it?”

Although he was the most famous new star of the Empire, there was still a limit to what he could do. They believed that no matter how strong a new star was, they would still be at the same level as the other new stars.

However, the rumors were proven to be true when some officers testified that they had seen the bloody new stars. Even the doctors that attended to the injured new stars at Command also added their words and proved it to be true.

“They’re completely covered in blood-stains, you know?”

“To that extent?”

“Yeah. They said that they were already one foot in the grave when they were sent back.”

Cheap rumors spread from one officer’s mouth to another. In addition, the nurses and the doctors in the hospital secretly leaked the information that they had gathered about the new stars. Their appearance also served as a self-evident fact that proved the rumors to be true. This was because they came to the hospital and ended up having bandages wrapped all over their entire bodies.

And just like any other news, this news began to spread rapidly to other regions. Some people who were completely attached and loyal to their own regions said that it was just fake news spread by the Northern stars. However, they had no choice but to stop their claims of this being a false rumor when Iron walked around without a single scratch on his body while the three other new stars were covered in bandages and lying dead to the world in their hospital beds.

Because of this, Maricca, a port city in the East, was in a buzz.

And just like that, Iron was called to the Eastern Commander’s office.

“Hoo…”

The Eastern Commander sighed deeply while Iron sat still with his head bowed down and his mouth shut tight.

“The situation has gone out of control.”

“I’m sorry.”

The commander sighed once again while Iron maintained his posture.

He had watched from the side so was fully aware that Iron did not do anything wrong. However, the team that he hoped to create had already collapsed and they weren’t even halfway through with their operation. What was worse was the fact that the Southern and Central regions were protesting while the Merchant Association was also secretly putting pressure on the commander because of the bloodied and bruised Daniel.

It was a situation where the commander was pressured from all sides.

Iron was innocent but he couldn’t help but say sorry when he saw the haggard expression on the commander’s face.
