381 Power of Spacetime (1/2)

Leon extended his senses and searched the area to see if the cloaked figure had any accomplices nearby.

The breath was weak, but he managed to detect the presence of another human. However, this person seemed to have been secretly monitoring the cloaked figure. They did not appear to be on the same side.

After knowing this, Leon nodded, ”Lead the way.”

”Thank you for your understanding, Young Master Leonhardt.” The cloaked figure smiled unsuspectingly under his hood and led Leon into a more isolated and dark area away from the main street.

You are not from this tribe, are you? Which tribe do you belong to?” Leon casually asked the cloaked figure, but he was ready to retreat at the slightest sign of danger.

”Yes, I am not from this tribe. I wonder if Young Master Leonhardt have heard of the Great Ironhawk Tribe?”

”The Great Ironhawk Tribe?”

Leon furrowed his brows. The name did not ring a bell. Apparently, this tribe was not part of the alliance the Darkmoon Tribe belonged to.

”It seems Young Master Leonhardt has not traveled beyond the territories of the Seven Tribe Alliance. This is understandable. Someone like you has long been noticed by everyone if you have visited the central plains before.”

”The Great Ironhawk Tribe is from the Infertile Plains' central region. Our tribe possesses 3 ancestors at the Battle King realm and 20 warriors at the Battle Master realm. We are considered one of the relative stronger tribe out there.” The cloaked figure introduced.

”Is that right… and so? What do you intend to achieve by revealing this bit of information to me? Are you not afraid of being hunted down by the Darkmoon Tribe's warriors? I heard the Seven Tribe Alliance share a terrible relationship with other tribes beyond their borders.” Leon said intriguingly.

”It is a risk I am willing to take if it means I can invite Young Master Leonhardt to the central region to join our tribe. What do you think of our tribe? Whatever the Darkmoon Tribe intends to offer Young Master Leonhardt, we are willing to double the benefits.”

”Hoh…?”

On the top of a building some distance away, the scout overheard everything and gnashed his teeth angrily while simultaneously clenching his fists.

'F*ck! So it's a rat from the Great Ironhawk Tribe! How dare this mother f*cker come into our city and sneakily try to poach our people! I must cripple him and teach him a lesson he will never forget!' The scout viciously thought.'

Just as he was about to move in for the strike, a silent hand reached out from behind and applied pressure on his shoulder and stopped him, following the person's whispering voice, ”Wait.”

”Big brother?” The scout uttered after getting a careful look at the person. It was another scout in the same line of duty as him.

”What are you doing here? What about the target you were monitoring?” the scout quietly whispered.

The person did not explain and directly pointed in a specific direction. After the scout followed the trajectory directed by the person, he was quickly startled to realize that there was someone else nearby.

That person had not been there earlier when he checked and must have arrived sometime after. However, the person was very subtle. The scout would not have noticed unless his big brother pointed the person out for him.

Leon stood there and appeared to be in deep contemplation of the cloaked figure's offer, but in truth, he was counting the number of people that were arriving with his superhuman hearing.

After some time, his count stopped at 7 people. Including the cloaked figure in front of him, there were a total of 8 other people.

'About for from each side, huh?' Leon silently mused before directing his attention back to the cloaked figure's offer.

”Although I have yet to negotiate with Chief Valencia, your offer is quite tempting. However, what will you do if I were to refuse?”

When this question was asked, the cloaked figured raised an eyebrow and said with a frown, ”I cannot understand why you would refuse. Our tribe is stronger, and the benefits we are willing to offer is greater. No matter how you look at it, you only stand to gain from this. You have no reason to refuse.”

”You seem to forget that we are in the middle of the Darkmoon Tribe. To enjoy the benefits your tribe is offering, we must first get out of here alive. However, there's a more important point. You do not seem to hold any great position in your tribe. There is no weight in your promises. How can I guarantee that my interest will be met when I arrive in your tribe?”

Leon wore an amusing smile.

From the start, he had zero intention of following the cloaked figure to the Great Ironhawk Tribe. It was too far from the teleportation array, not to mention that his important people were right here, in the Darkmoon Tribe.

When the cloaked figured realized that the other party had zero interest even after all that talking, his expression became more somber and gloomy under the hood.

”It seems Young Master Leonhardt has no intention of accepting the offer. In that case, I can only forcefully take you back with me. And should that fail, I will have no choice but to—”

The cloaked figure did not finish his words before his eyes flashed with a cold light and immediately made his move.
