Leonhardt’s Territory (1)

The Northeastern Army only attended the first day of the festival, all of them prepared to depart the Eastern Command for the Northeastern Command after the awarding ceremony had finished. The officers of the Eastern Command also moved to send off the Northeastern troops in the warp gate.

While they were moving out of command…

“Extra! Extra! The White Whale Guild did something!”

“White Whale? Those other-worlders?”

“Yes. The lout, Kim Jungtae, did something in the Puerh Islands!”

“What did he do?”

“Isn’t the war over?”

People flocked to where the boy selling the newspaper was. The boy smiled gently and lifted his money basket.

“Who knows… I heard that the other-worlders have discovered the mermaids’ treasures?”

“Ho… Is that so?”

“This is a scoop from our newspaper. We kept in close contact with White Whale. Well, maybe it was because of the other-worlders’ unique abilities? They said that they were able to get a large number of the mermaids’ treasures from deep in the sea.”

“Treasure… which one?”

The people asked the boy in curiosity but the boy just shook his head as if he couldn’t say anymore.

“Please read the details in the newspaper!”

Hearing the boy’s words, the people grabbed coins out of their pockets and placed them in his basket to buy a copy of the newspaper.

Iron, who saw this scene from afar, smiled.

‘In the end, he’s still the one who took it.’

During the Eastern War, the White Whale Guild failed to earn their expected merits, contributions and rewards. However, with Kim Jungtae’s strong will, they were still able to do something about their situation.

Iron was sure that they would be able to compete with the guilds from the other regions just with the treasures that they had obtained here. Although the other-worlders’ coalition was strong, the White Whale still had the ability to grow to the point that they could stand toe to toe with them. Iron was sure since he had encountered Kim Jungtae in his previous life.

“That dreadful bastard eventually got the treasure.”

Richard Burton smiled bitterly when he heard the news from afar. He recalled the abuse that he had endured before Iron arrived. After all, Kim Jungtae was the only divine beast contractor back then. Even the officers of Eastern Command had ugly expressions when they recalled how Kim Jungtae acted back in Command. The Northeastern troops entered the warp gate one by one while the Eastern Command tried to keep a straight face after hearing something unpleasant to their ears.

Richard Burton approached Iron, who waited until everyone had gone over.

“It seems like you’re going to the North now.”

“Perhaps… Well, I think that’s what is going to happen.”

Iron smiled bitterly.

Richard Burton asked for a handshake before letting him go.
