Seizing the opportunity, Yang Xi vividly described to Walker the battle he experienced on Crimson Frost Island—of course, a heavily modified and embellished version.

Walker was busy vying for the position of city lord, and also had to consider his son's feelings, so he didn't ask much about it.

Now, thanks to Yang Xi's silver tongue, Walker felt as if he were actually there during the battle for the Philosopher's Stone on Frostfire Island.

After hearing this, he slammed his fist on the table. "If only I had been there during that exhilarating battle!"

Yang Xi was speechless. His cheap father only had the combat power of the third tier at its limit. Whether he could survive to the end was still a question mark.

How can you be so confident!

However, he wouldn't expose the truth, and echoed, "If you, Father, had been there at the time, you would definitely have broken through to the fourth level. If you and Uncle White Snake had joined forces, all five of us would have been able to come back alive!"

"Alas, it's all too late now, there's no point in saying more!" Walker sighed. "I called you here today to tell you something, something I haven't even told your second uncle."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xi was overjoyed. This was the advantage of impersonating Duran.

People are only less wary of their own sons.

"You can't even tell your second uncle?"

Walker nodded seriously: "Yes, we can't let more people know for now."

"Yes, Father!"

Yang Xi responded with a resolute look.

"The position of Lord of Bright City is ostensibly being contested by our major families, but the real players are actually the four major powers."

"The Hundred Cities Federation goes without saying, since Bright City is nominally its territory. But how could the other three major powers let go of such an important position as the commander of the new coalition? I'm sure that besides our Keith family, they will also extend their reach to the other families."

At this point, Walker's voice lowered even further, "Even the garrison of Bright City might get involved."

Yang Xi nodded and said, "I also felt something was amiss with the Bright City garrison's late arrival earlier!"

Walker gave him a look that suggested he was a promising student. “You are the person I trust most, so I can tell you that behind our Keith family is the Mercenary Guild!”

"The Mercenary Guild?!" Yang Xi feigned surprise.

It seems that the one who infiltrated the family's territory that night was a powerful member of the Mercenary Guild.

Walker said, "However, you don't need to worry too much about this. Our Keith family and the Mercenary Guild are only in a temporary cooperative relationship."

"They helped me get the position of Lord of Bright City, and we just gave them the corresponding reward afterward."

Yang Xi said, "I know, it's about mutual benefit!"

After all, the Keith family still needs to operate in Bright City, so their nominal leader naturally has to be the Hundred Cities Federation.

As he spoke, Walker revealed a confident smile, "Although there are some risks involved, I'm already 80-90% confident about winning this battle for the title of Lord of Bright City!"

"At that time, our Keith family will surely be able to gain enough benefits from this great war. Once you become a fourth-tier powerhouse, we will have enough say in the New Frey Continent!"

"Perhaps after we successfully colonize the White Chamber and seize ownership of it, we will have the means to return to the Odyssey plane!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Xi couldn't help but sneer inwardly. With this handsome super spy around, the ultimate victor will definitely be our Blue Star race!

“Father is right. Under your leadership, our Keith family is safe this time!”

Walker was delighted to hear this; he had never thought his son spoke so well before!

Duran has really grown up.

391 The Sudden News of Death

Freedom Alliance waters.

As Ouyang Guanhe looked at the intelligence from the Judgment Organization in his hand, his brows furrowed and relaxed intermittently.

This information is truly alarming.

"Undercurrents are surging in Bright City. Four major powers—the Hundred Cities Federation, the Beast Alliance, the Mercenary Guild, and the Bernadotte Empire—have gathered together, leaving the position of City Lord vacant."

Ouyang Guanhe was pleased that this was the most comprehensive intelligence the Azure Star race had ever obtained regarding the occupied territories of the Southern Continent.

Before this, they only vaguely knew that the people from the other world were not a monolithic entity, and there was no definitive conclusion as to how they were divided into several factions and what they were called.

But these details were clearly written in the intelligence report, which also put immense pressure on Ouyang Guanhe.

"In addition, there are some developments regarding meditation methods. We will provide further updates once there are concrete progresses."

After Ouyang Guanhe finished reading, Tongtian took it and continued reading.

A moment later, the two fourth-tier experts exchanged a glance.

"Could it be that the Pig of the Judgment Organization obtained information about meditation techniques from the otherworldly beings?"

Even the Heavenly Emperor couldn't sit still at this moment. As the leaders of humanity, they knew how significant the meditation method was to the entire Blue Star human race!

"What does the Judgment Organization mean by adding this paragraph at the end of the intelligence report?"

"We didn't ask for any information in this regard at all; they could easily make a fortune in silence!"

Ouyang Guanhe stood up. "The Judgment Organization always considers the big picture. They must know how important meditation is to us. Could it be that they want to share it step by step, like with the superpower potion?"

Tongtian sneered, "You're dreaming. Superpower potions and meditation are two completely different things. The former is the fish, and the latter is the fishing method. If we monopolize meditation and give the Judgment Organization some time, no organization in the entire Four Seas will be able to stand against them!"

"But they released this information!"

"That's why it's strange; we haven't discovered their deeper intentions!"

The two fourth-tier powerhouses argued incessantly until someone came in to report on the military situation, which finally eased the tension.

"In short, let's take it one step at a time. After all, the Judgment Organization is a force of our Blue Star human race! And the otherworldly people are so powerful, we absolutely cannot afford to have internal strife!"

"Hmph, keep being naive. I'm waiting to see the show!"

Yang Xi was naturally unaware that the information he provided to the Chamber of Commerce Alliance had already caused a dispute between two fourth-tier powerhouses.

But even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care.

Because the two sides have different focuses, the power struggles within the Blue Star race are meaningless to him.

In terms of the "technology tree" of magical civilization, he has far surpassed the three major powers. What he will give them at that time will only be what he has left over.

With a sufficiently efficient mechanism, the adjudication organization will only grow stronger and stronger.

His only enemy is the Osider!

After his private conversation with Walker, Yang Xi followed him to several other families to campaign for votes.

After the assassination attempt, Walker learned his lesson and brought significantly more of his tribesmen, greatly improving the secrecy of his journey.

At least they won't be like last time, blatantly driving around in luxury cars with their family crests.

In fact, whether it's the Clark family with their six-winged golden cicadas or the Murphy family with their extreme ice magic, they all have the potential to compete for the position. It just depends on who is bigger and who is smaller, and when the forces behind them will step in.

The days of narrow escapes didn't last long, and Walker summoned several core members of the clan late at night.

Besides Yang Xi, Hu De, and Shirley, there are also third-tier clansmen.

Under the warm glow of the magic lamp, everyone's expressions were somewhat somber.

Hu De spoke first: "I object. At the very least, I should be allowed to go. Brother, have you forgotten about the assassination attempt last time?"

Many third-tier clansmen also objected, as they were really worried about their clan leader taking the risk alone.

Only Yang Xi and Shirley remained silent. The former knew some inside information, while the latter simply didn't know what to do and just did whatever her cousin did.

Walker said helplessly, "Don't worry, I'm confident. It's not advisable to send too many people tonight, otherwise it will backfire if other families find out."

If the news of the Keith family's late-night visit to the Platinum Deacon of the Hundred Cities Federation were leaked, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction among the people.

After all, on the surface, the force that ultimately decides who will become the Lord of Bright City is the Hundred Cities Federation.

Before this, any meeting between a family and the Platinum Butler would have aroused suspicion.

The Osider colonists, who consider themselves a civilized society, tend to emphasize this aspect the further they stray from their native plane.

Seeing that everyone was still objecting, Walker finally had no choice but to assert his authority as the head of the family, "This matter is settled. I'll be right back. You all wait here for my good news. Basically, when I return, the position of Lord of Bright City will belong to our Keith family!"

After saying that, Walker gave Yang Xi, who was sitting in front of the alchemical armor, a deep look, said nothing more, and then leaped into the night sky!

Of all the core clan members present, only Yang Xi roughly knew what Walker was up to tonight.

During their occasional conversations, Yang Xi learned that the Mercenary Guild had given Walker something, and tonight would be the time for him to use it!

Judging from his confident demeanor, tonight's plan should be a sure thing!

Yang Xi yawned and pinched his cousin Shirley's cheek.

"what!"

Shirley covered her face fiercely, showing her little tiger teeth.

Yang Xi chuckled, then pinched her other chubby cheek, arrogantly saying, "Can't I pinch it a few times?"

If it were the old Shirley, she might have gone up and started fighting with Yang Xi.

After all that had happened, she simply shifted her position in dissatisfaction and muttered, "You stinky Duran, I'm not going to stoop to your level!"

The night ticked by, but Walker still hadn't returned.

Hood had been restless for an hour, but under Walker's orders, he could only pace around the yard.

The other clansmen also looked worried, and even Yang Xi felt a vague sense of unease.

Could something have really gone wrong?

Soon, a huge azure flame appeared in the night sky, and a furious dragon roar resounded throughout the entire City of Light!

But just a few seconds later, the sky returned to calm!

"not good!"

Without further hesitation, Hood transformed and soared into the night sky.

Yang Xi and the other clansmen quickly followed, flying towards the source of the sound.

Finally, several Azure-Eyed Flame Dragons hovered above the Cangwu Avenue in front of the City Lord's Mansion and discovered Walker's mangled corpse lying in a pool of blood.

392 is enough to make a fourth-tier player take action.

The presence of several Tier 3 Azure-Eyed Flame Dragons made the surrounding air extremely hot.

However, anyone present who saw the core members of the Keith family hovering silently in mid-air would have a chilling sense of desolation.

These Azure-Eyed Flame Dragons are like suppressed volcanoes; if not handled carefully, they could erupt completely.
