Chapter 617: Udo's Frustration

Ajax felt that it was good to introduce Necros to Edmond and Udo before they could ask him about Necros.

After finishing his words, Ajax looked at Edmond to guess what he must be thinking in his head and as for Udo, he didn't bother looking at him because he already knew what he was thinking in his head.

"So, this is your trump card for surviving in the Cursed wilderness? Not bad," Even though Udo didn't like Ajax much when it comes to expressing his inner thoughts he would not bother hiding them.

"Yes, vice-captain Udo," Ajax simply nodded his head.

"You hid it pretty well, Ajax," Just after Ajax replied to Udo, Edmond praised Ajax and continued saying to Ajax and others, "In this world, the more trump cards you hide from others, the greater heights you will reach in the future. So, never reveal them unless it was life and death matter. Do you understand?"

Edmond shared some of his life's experiences with Ajax and others.

"Yes, captain,"

All of the youngsters present in the open ground replied to Edmond with a face full of seriousness because just a moment ago they understood how important it was to hide their trump card.

'If the enemy knows Ajax's dark elemental spirit, then he would have sent even more powerful enemies or used some other tactics to kill him,'

'I should do the same,'

Lewis and Jeff silently thought in their heads and their motivation to increase their cultivation and secret techniques had increased.

'Sigh...if I was like Ajax, I would have never fallen into the trap of the royal family and even my own friends. Except for Ajax, I will not share the details of my trump cards to anyone. I will even hide my cultivation,'

As for Levi, he sighed because he trusted his friends too much and revealed every trump card to them. So, he swore that he would not reveal any of his trump cards to anyone other than Ajax.

That's right! Before coming out of his room, Levi had used some technique to hide his cultivation.

'At the moment, even if Captain Edmond could only see my cultivation level as level 2 general realm,' Levi was very confident regarding his secret technique to mask his cultivation as he silently stood behind Ajax.

It was also the reason why Edmond and Udo were not able to find anything wrong with Levi's cultivation.

"Okay now. Send it back into your spirit consciousness. It's not good for your trump card to be known to the outside world,"

Soon, Edmond asked Ajax to send Necros back and at the same time, he looked at Lewis and others before saying, "You will forget everything that you saw here. Do you understand?"

Regarding a trump card like Necros, who could fight the cultivators below elite general realm, Edmond didn't want others to know about it. So, he ordered others to keep quiet about it.

Everyone knew the seriousness of this matter which made them nod their head.

'Necros, come back,'

'Swoosh'

After hearing Edmond's words, Ajax summoned back Necros into his inner world without wasting any time.

"Okay then. Everyone go back to your rooms and increase your cultivation. For the next three days, no need to practice your cultivation techniques,"

Edmond knew about everyone except for Levi; however, he didn't worry much about Levi revealing Ajax's secret to others because Ajax knew about Levi.

'Moreover, there must be more trump cards like this under his sleeve,' Thinking about how good Ajax was hiding at his trump cards, Edmond unconsciously revealed a smile on his face.

"By the way, Ajax, wait here for a while. I have something to talk with you,"

Soon, everyone started walking into the residence building; however, Ajax was stopped by 

Edmond.

'Huh?' Ajax halted in his tracks and nodded his head before walking towards Edmond and others.

'I also have something to ask him,'

At the same time, Ajax silently thought in his head before standing in front of Darabaudr and started talking something with him.

'You are thinking, he is good at hiding his trump cards, right?' When Ajax and Darbaudr were having some conversation, Udo silently transmitted his voice into Edmond's head.

'...'

However, Edmond didn't give any reply to Udo and remained silent.

'You are very good at hiding your trump cards more than him. Even with our 25 years of friendship, I still don't know what your elemental spirits look like and what is their current cultivation realm,'

Nevertheless, Udo continued to transmit his voice to Edmond which made Edmond laugh.

"Haha….you will know when it is time,"

Edmond didn't bother to reply through voice transmission as he directly replied while maintaining the smile on his face.

"Anyway, where is he? Is someone kidnapped him or what?"

Udo felt frustrated at Edmond's words as he bitterly shook his head and asked about something else.

"He only recently broke through to the general realm and still needs to adjust to it. So, just wait for some time, he will come," Edmond replied as he moved towards a tree and sat under its shade.

'Anyway, I have nothing to do today,' Udo shrugged his hands as he also sat under a tree.

'They must be talking about senior brother Paulin,'

Ajax guessed whom they were waiting for and along with Darbaudr, he also moved towards the tree.

Before he came to the open ground behind the building, Paulin was in a hurry to go meet Edmond and Ajax guessed that Paulin must have rushed towards the mercenary guild.

'Maybe, he didn't reach mercenary guild before Edmond and others rushed back to the residence,'

With how much less time had passed, Ajax felt it was impossible to reach the mercenary guild. So, he assumed Paulin must have met Edmond and others in the half-way before he was ordered back to the squad building.

'Let him come. Until then, I will see what is the newly generated mission,'

Ajax didn't bother much about the arrival of Paulin and thought to check the new mission.
