Chapter 1061: Getting The Upper Hand



Evaline chuckled at her nephew's response and followed behind as they entered.

Orion swiftly removed his cloak and changed into his previous attire before heading toward the Outward Stronghold.

He arrived at the stronghold within the protective fort within minutes. He nodded at the warriors on duty, who were taking turns within the fort, and then walked toward Seth, who was waiting at the entrance of the building.

"I came as quickly as I could. What's the reason you called, Chief?" Seth asked curiously.

"Have you managed to get the spies to talk yet?" Orion asked.

"Some have, but not all," Seth nodded. "However, I believe they'll start soon."

"Good. There's no need to waste more time on this-I have a way to make them talk," Orion responded.

Seth's brow raised in surprise at Orion's words. "How?"

"You'll see. Let's head inside first," Orion replied, pushing the door open and leading in.

Seth quickly regained his composure and followed him inside.

One Hour Later

One Hour Later

Orion sat comfortably in a chair, watching as the wound on his thumb healed rapidly. He then shifted his attention to Greroth, who knelt on the floor.

Greroth's clothes were torn and charred, his body covered in burn scars and fresh wounds as if he'd been struck by lightning multiple times. His injuries were severe, and he was only able to remain on his kneels because of his powerful physique.

"Once you've fully recovered, you'll assist in restructuring the forthcoming foundation of the Trekking Flamingo Runaway City," Orion stated. He was confident that with the help of Evaline and Greroth, his vision for the Runaway City would unfold seamlessly.

"Thank you for entrusting me with such an important task, Supreme Leader. I promise to give it my all," Greroth replied, his expression calm but his tone filled with anticipation.

Orion nodded. "I'll be counting on you, then." He stood, turned, and left the room.

Though it had taken considerable effort to force Greroth to swear loyalty to Paradise- culminating in the inscription of the slave rune-the effort had been worth it.

Orion quickly exited the room and proceeded to another on the same floor. Upon entering, he found Zogar waiting patiently for his arrival. The room was a simple waiting area with five comfortable chairs arranged around a table laden with kale and various other fruits.

Zogar immediately stood and greeted, "Chief, is something wrong? I came as soon as I could," he asked curiously. Though he was slightly stronger than Seth, they were both five- star warriors, so he was intrigued by the situation requiring his assistance.

Orion quickly explained the situation and why he was summoned. The spies they were about to capture were tremendous, so he needed the help of other Key Leaders to manage the task and avoid bearing the burden alone. That's why he called upon Stronghold Leader Zogar and

Seth for support.

Zogar nodded in understanding, his expression thoughtful. "I see. While I understand your reasoning, relying on such a Divine Art too frequently could have consequences-especially if other divine beings uncover its use, alerting them to our presence or making us

overconfident."
