The Ultimate Fire Master of Avatar

Chapter 83 Cleverness and Foolishness, Success and Setbacks

By bringing all the rebels back to the camp, their mission was largely complete.

In an effort to maintain his image, when faced with Devon's arrest, Yudan only made a few simple sarcastic remarks in front of everyone, but the smug expression on his face was hard to hide.

After being kicked by Azura, Devon dared not shout anymore, his face filled with misery. He had never expected his escape plan to fail so quickly. And the thought of what he would face next made his expression even more miserable and desolate.

However, his punishment came sooner than he expected.

Just as they had previously speculated, given Devon's character, he would never have dared to lead his troops in a defection unless he had some certainty or received some information.

Azura was very interested in this and decided to interrogate him personally. Upon hearing this, Yudan righteously declared that he should also take responsibility and joined in. It was obvious to everyone that Yudan simply wanted to cause trouble for Devon.

So Yudan quickly ordered a tent to be cleared out as an interrogation room, but soon after, the interrogation room became noisy, and then suddenly Devon's scream came out, his voice so shrill that it made people turn away.

Amidst screams, Azura walked out of the interrogation room as if nothing had happened. Kahn couldn't help but ask curiously:

What happened inside?

Azura shrugged and said:

"It's nothing, it's just that someone didn't seem to understand the situation, so I brought him to his senses."

"What about the interrogation?"

"Let's talk about it later. Continuing like this seems a bit too much to ask of him."

Kahn was taken aback; when had Azura become so gentle? But just as he was thinking this, he saw a severely burned body being carried out on a stretcher and rushed to the hospital for treatment.

Based on some features, Kahn could still roughly recognize that it was German.

He silently swallowed his comment. Sure enough, Azura was still the same Azura, she really went all out.

"You call this nothing?"

"uh-huh."

Azura looked completely innocent, as if she had no idea what had happened. In this expression, she even looked somewhat cute, but Kahn knew that whenever Azura made this face, she was just trying to appease him.

If she doesn't want to talk about it, so be it; he can always find someone else to ask.

So he found Yodan, who came out later, and asked him what had happened.

Yudan appeared somewhat apprehensive, and his expression towards Kahn held a strange fear. When asked the question, he cautiously replied:

"I inadvertently revealed your identities just now, and Devon tried to seduce Your Highness, but Your Highness saw through it."

After the last incident, their reputations began to spread, but the common people talked more about Azura's wisdom and prowess, while he left a deep impression on the people in the army as Elo's traitorous disciple.

After all, before Aozai took power, the army was always Ailo's private domain. Although Aozai promoted a group of his own confidants after taking power, the vast majority of generals were still old men who had come from Ailo's time.

Just like Yodan, and Devon before his betrayal.

Getting back to the main point, after learning that the girl in front of him was none other than the legendary Princess Azura, Devon seemed to feel that he had grasped a sliver of a chance to survive. He fawned over Azura, trying to exchange the top-secret information he had for a chance to live.

The process went more smoothly than Azura had imagined, and if nothing unexpected happened, Devon's plan should succeed, since Azura was indeed interested in the so-called top-secret information he possessed.

But a pity.

While flattering Azura, he also slandered and defamed Kahn, believing that the disciple chosen by Elo would not betray him so easily and that there was likely a trick involved, in order to sow discord between the two.

Then Azura set him on fire.

After listening, Kahn had to admit that this guy was quite capable, because he was right, he had not betrayed Elo, but no matter how smart he was, he probably couldn't have imagined that Azura was in cahoots with him.

He was just a little clever, but that actually brought him a lot of bad luck.

Just like Devon decisively sided with Airo before, objectively speaking, Airo held real military power at the time. If he was not satisfied with the result and was preparing to lead troops to forcibly seize power, then the Arrogant Lord at that time would probably have been unable to resist.

He believed that Airo understood this as well, but unfortunately his personality prevented him from doing so.

Getting back to the point, after understanding the whole story, Kahn just felt it was a pity. He thought that even if he were to take action, he should at least wait until Kahn had confessed honestly before doing so. He didn't understand why she was in such a hurry.

Meanwhile, Yudan was secretly observing Kahn. He couldn't understand why Princess Azura would get so angry over such a small matter. Was Kahn, this traitor, that important to her?

Could it be?

Looking at Kahn's handsome face, Yudan suddenly had a startling thought, and his gaze toward Kahn suddenly turned contemptuous, while Kahn was completely unaware of it.

Judging from Devon's injuries, he wouldn't be able to continue the interrogation for at least the time being. They didn't bother to delay, so they led the rebels back first, figuring they could ask questions along the way.

Before leaving, Azura suddenly extended an olive branch to Yudan, saying that she had seen his loyalty and could forgive his past mistakes, and asked if he would be willing to transfer to the Fire Nation to do logistics work.

In a sense, this was no different from a promotion, and after some hesitation, Yudan finally accepted the order.

"Is there anything I should be careful about with that guy?"

After they came down, Kahn asked Azura. To be honest, he didn't think Yudan had anything outstanding about him that made him worth recruiting.

"Recruit him? No, it's not us who are recruiting him, it's Father."

Azura laughed.

In her opinion, Yudan and Devon were equally stupid, only Yudan was a little luckier. Of course, she wanted to make the best use of such "talented people".

As long as Yodan can make use of his procrastination habit during their power grab, he'll be contributing to their cause.

Kahn: "Awesome."

So the two began their return journey. This mission had indeed gone very smoothly. If only it could be this easy every time.

Kahn thought to himself.

Seemingly having heard Kahn's warning, an unexpected incident occurred on the second day of their return journey: a group of people suddenly intercepted them halfway, clearly with a specific purpose in mind.

It seems Devon did have reinforcements, but they arrived a little late.

"alert!"

The guards immediately assumed a fighting stance, and at that moment, upon seeing the approaching figure, Devon, disregarding his wounds, excitedly shouted:

"Master Zhengzheng, save me!"
