As if he had been transformed into a new person, Alfred looked lively and powerful. Even when Northern King was
hiding in a corner, he could sense the pressure of Alfred's overwhelming power.
As expected of a Camp Master!
Furthermore, even though the man before him had just become a Camp Master, he was exceptionally powerful to
the point Northern King felt that he was comparable to the Camp Masters of Camp South and Camp North.
Once Alfred descended to the ground, he took in a deep breath and said, “Is this what Peak Class is? It's rather
disappointing.”
Killer Wolf and Tyler walked over to him and teased, “Save it, old man. We know you're delighted.”
Alfred sighed. “Why should I be delighted? I reached Peak Class two days later than the two of you. It's humiliating.
I'll have to be faster than both of you when we advance to Celestial Class.”
Killer Wolf joked, “Haven't you heard of how a man will always be late after being late once? Since you're already
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtslower than us to reach Peak Class, you're going to be even slower than us in the future.”
Alfred huffed. “Fine. Let's make a bet. If I reach Celestial Class faster than you two, you'll have to prostrate before
me and beg for mercy. How's that?”
“No problem. What if you're slower than us to attain Celestial Class?”
“Then I'll let my granddaughter marry you.”
“D*mn you!” Killer Wolf cursed. “Stop trying to pull my leg. You're ugly, old man. I doubt your granddaughter's any
better than you. There's no way I'll say yes to that.”
Alfred chuckled. “I hope you won't regret your words. My granddaughter's a real beauty, and there are countless
men courting her.”
Killer Wolf laughed. “What is your granddaughter, ice cream in summer? Why are so many people interested in
her?”
Livid, Alfred snapped, “Shut it! I'll kill you if you continue spouting nonsense.”
Northern King, who was still in hiding, was dumbfounded by the exchange.
Oh my goodness, I didn't mishear that, did I? These three are all Peak Class warriors? The Peak Class they're talking
about is our Camp Master's level. So, three Camp Masters just appeared on Theos Island? Things are getting
interesting. If these three Camp Masters appear before the public, both Camp North and Camp South will surely
take a hit, for these three Camp Masters will form the most powerful Camp on Theos Island. If I can work under
them, I'll have a bright future ahead of me!
While he was mulling over those matters, Killer Wolf's angry voice suddenly traveled into his ears. “Stop hiding. Are
you planning to hide until I drag you out here, chop you up, and feed you to the animals?”
As it turned out, Killer Wolf had already noticed Northern King. However, the latter was weak and posed no threat
to them, so Killer Wolf ignored him until that moment.
Northern King's heart skipped a beat at his voice. Oh no, they've discovered me!
Promptly, he rose to his feet and said, “I'm coming out now! I'm coming out now! Please don't be angry, sirs. I'm
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmnot an enemy of yours.”
Strength was of the utmost importance on Theos Island. The stronger one was, the higher one's status was on
Theos Island. Therefore, everyone treated those who were stronger than them with respect.
Killer Wolf briefly studied Northern King. “Who are you? Why were you sneakily hiding in the shadows? What's your
motive?”
Northern King hastily answered, “Sirs, I'm Northern King, the commander of the Northern Faction.”
Tyler barked out a laugh. “Ha! How dare you call yourself a king in front of us?”
Northern King quickly corrected himself. “Sirs, please don't be mad. Northern King is just what my subordinates
address me as. Please call me Nory instead.”
With no hesitance, Alfred said, “Nory, why were you hiding in the shadows?”
“I sensed that you were advancing to Camp Master level, and I was worried that beasts and other insignificant
people would disrupt your advancement, so I came to protect you so you could progress in peace.”
Alfred scoffed. “You're just a Legatus. How can you even offer me protection? Are you trying to humiliate me?”
Northern King shook his head fervently. “No, no. No way! Sir, this is a misunderstanding.”
Alfred replied, “Since you have no business here, why are you even still here? Get lost!”
At that, Northern King suddenly said, “Sir, I... I just remembered that I have something to report to you about.”
