System's POV

Chapter 692: Do You Know What Time It Is? [Part 1]



When Thirteen arrived at the Glory Academy, he saw that it had become a small fortress, likely done by the Ashford and Stallard Clan.

No one stopped him when he approached the two people who could call the shots.

They were none other than Claude Ashford and Norman Stallard.

Seeing the teenage boy draw near, the two adults frowned. But, since Zion was not an ordinary teenager whom they could just brush off, they said nothing and decided to hear whatever he had to say.

Unfortunately for them, the words that came out of his lips were something that they didn't want to hear.

"Call the Central Government for help before it's too late," Thirteen said. "Otherwise, this city will be destroyed."

There had been no instances where the Central Government had been invited by the Monarch Clans to help clean up their mess.

The Monarch Clans had a reputation to uphold, and they didn't want to show any weakness to the outside world.

However, they were aware that the current situation wasn't something they could salvage by being prideful.

If Aaron Ahsford had been present at the scene, there might still be a chance to turn things around. However, since Claude and his subordinates were still unable to contact him, no powerful help could arrive in a short period of time.

Thirteen had already informed the Central Government about the Glory City's current situation.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The Grand Marshal, Lawrence, already commanded some of their elite units to be on standby.

Unlike the other Monarchs, he was someone who genuinely cared for humanity. As long as Claude lowered his pride and asked them for help, they would immediately come to aid them in their time of need.

Claude stared at the teenage boy, who had caused him nothing but headache since he met him.

His subordinates had just informed him a while ago about Zion's banditry, which tempted him to slap the boy the moment he saw him.

However, Claude held back and tolerated Zion's existence.

The words he said just now were also something that he was already considering. Although their family would lose a bit of face and influence because of this incident, it was still better than having Glory City destroyed.

Even Norman, who was secretly happy with the Ashford Clan's current dilemma, couldn't help but frown. However, if he voiced out any thoughts of opposition right now, it would not look good on him.

Claude wasn't stupid, and it would be very easy for him to know what Norman was thinking.

Although they were allies, that didn't mean that they were secretly wishing for each other's downfall.

"Since you proposed this idea, I'm sure you've already talked to the Grand Marshal, and the Field Marshal, right?" Claude inquired.

"Yes," Thirteen answered. "They're only waiting for you to personally ask them for help."

Claude was very tempted to tell Zion that he should inform them by himself, but he knew that this was not going to happen.

Clearly, Claude had to personally make that move.

Thirteen didn't want to make that choice for him.

After heaving a sigh, the current Patriarch of the Ashford Clan pushed a few buttons on the communicator on his wrist.

A moment later, the line connected, and a small projection of Lawrence Seaton appeared in front of him.

"Grand Marshal, please lend us your assistance," Claude said in a solemn tone.

"Understood," Lawrence replied.

He didn't say any teasing words or speak any nonsense.

Since the Ashford Clan had already asked for their help, they would help for the sake of the human race.

Soon, dozens of helicopters rose to the sky, bringing with them the elite of the army. Since three Rank 7 Sovereigns had appeared, Lawrence decided to join his men and help the Ashford and Stallard Clan with their current predicament.

Now that his mission was over, Thirteen decided to leave the Glory Academy.

He was certain that once the Grand Marshal arrived, the situation would be handled properly.

With two Monarchs, as well as dozens of Champions and Grandmasters, they would be able to clean this Monster Outbreak in no time at all.

Before that happens, he would need to lure the Warlord Pangolin away so that he could deal with it by himself.

Claude and Norman watched Thirteen go, not doing anything to stop him.

The thought of nipping him in the bud had crossed their minds more than once.

However, they couldn't do it.

At least, not at this point in time.

They knew that they would need Zion's expertise during the Cygni Invasion.

It wouldn't be too late to deal with him once that particular calamity had passed.

Of course, Thirteen knew this as well.

But the same worked both ways.

It wouldn't be too late for him and Erasmus to deal with the Monarchs once the Jinn Invasion

in the Cygni Continent had passed.

If only they knew that one of the Kings of the Rigel Continent, who was in control of the Centipede King and the Wyvern King, planned to get revenge on them, they would definitely not step out of their domains and would go into hiding.

Using Athena's satellite imagery, Thirteen easily found the Warlord Pangolin, who had separated from his two powerful allies.

Currently, it was headed to the South, where it sensed the presence of "lesser threats."

The members of the Hero Party and the Wanderers who had gathered there were considered as delicious delicacies for the Jinns.

Thirteen asked Mors to follow the route that Athena had provided, allowing him to quickly arrive at the location of the Rank 7 Sovereign and its entourage of strong monsters.

The Armored Blade Panther stood calmly as it stopped at the middle of four intersections.

In the distance, the Pangolin Army was making their way to their destination, and they noticed the ant that had come to observe them from afar.

Suddenly, the smaller Pangolins, who were Rank 3 and Rank 4 Monsters, curled up into scaled balls and started rolling in Thirteen's direction.

The teenage boy sneered as the rolling pangolins suddenly found themselves levitating off

the ground.

Before they could even understand what was happening, they were thrown off toward their comrades like balls of steel, making the other Pangolins cry out in shock, anger, and

annoyance.

Thirteen's monster army all had the power of telekinesis.

Alone, they would not be able to lift the Pangolins, each of which weighed at least a ton.

However, once they focused their mind on a single target, they could easily do it.

The Rank 3 and Rank 4 Jinns were tossed off one by one, surprising the Warlord Pangolin. "How about we talk first?" Thirteen asked. "Yes. I'm talking to you, Mr. Warlord Pangolin."

He had the ability of Universal Language Proficiency, allowing him to communicate with anyone as long as they had some form of communication.

The Pangolins, who were planning to charge forward, paused for a bit, caught off-guard by

the teenage boy speaking their language.

However, the Warlord Pangolin looked at the human with indifference.

"You don't have the qualification to speak with me," the Warlord Pangolin replied. "Kill

him!"

The Pangolins surrounding the Rank 7 Sovereign all rolled forward like countless bowling balls, intending to turn the human into meat paste.

But the moment his bodyguards left their leader, something unexpected happened.

The ground under the Warlord Pangolin gave way, making the monster fall into the dark pit that was already under its feet.

Rocky had been busy digging a trap for the Warlord Pangolin ever since Thirteen ran off to

Glory Academy.

Since they already knew where the Pangolin was going, it was easy for them to set a trap

beforehand.

However, the enemies were too numerous, so Rocky didn't dare to collapse the street. Only

when they all left the Warlord Pangolin alone did Rocky spring the trap that had already been

prepared beforehand.

The bodyguards of the Warlord Pangolin stopped in their tracks and hurried to the giant hole, which had sucked up their leader within the blink of an eye.

All of them wondered if they should follow their leader or not.

Their hesitation lasted for nearly half a minute before they curled up like a ball and rolled

toward the hole.

Thirteen saw this and smirked before he, too, disappeared like the Warlord Pangolin. Rocky took his Master inside his Mobile Fortress before digging to the location of the Warlord Pangolin, who suddenly found itself deep underground.
