Chapter 2761 Delivering News

Maulwurf mused for a moment and shook his head. “No. He sees you as a threat. Moving to the Beast District

makes you an even bigger threat.”

Zeke nodded. “That's why he's going to stop us once he knows that we're moving. He's going to leave some Spirit

Stones along the trail so the beasts will come after us. Coincidentally, I still require a lot of Spirit Stones.”

Realization struck Maulwurf. “Oh, good idea, Mr. Williams! So you're not actually moving to the Beast District. You

actually want Camp South Master to sabotage you so you can get more Spirit Stones. Whether we set up base

there isn't the main point.”

Zeke said, “It depends on the situation. If possible, I'd like to really set up base in the Beast District.”

Maulwurf gave him a thumbs up. “That's a good plan, Mr. Williams. I'll go tell Camp South Master that we're moving

right now.”

“Hold it,” Zeke said.

Maulwurf stopped in his tracks. “What else do you need, Mr. Williams?”

Zeke said, “He gave you a spirit pill, didn't he? If you absorbed all its power, you should be able to become a

Legatus.”

A look of embarrassment filled Maulwurf's face. “The chance of success is eighty percent.”

“You haven't been improving much, so with your current power, Camp South Master might suspect something.”

Maulwurf said, “I'll... see if I can come up with an excuse. But it's going to be risky. Still, I'll finish my job, Mr. W—”

He was cut off mid-sentence by Zeke putting his hand on Maulwurf's shoulder and releasing a surge of energy into

Maulwurf's body.

Maulwurf felt a sliver of cold energy swimming into his body, and it was an odd feeling. At first, he felt fear. “W-

What are you doing, M-Mr. Williams?”

Zeke said, “Don't talk. Now follow my energy and cultivate.”

Hm? Mr. Williams is teaching me? By the elements, this is a rare opportunity indeed! Delighted, Maulwurf did as he

was told.

Ten minutes later, Zeke pulled his energy out, but a surge of energy kept swimming within Maulwurf, and it was

growing in size.

Maulwurf could control this energy easily. It was as if this surge of energy was his kin. Wait. This energy... It was

born within me. I can create energy now. That means... I'm a Legatus!

It hadn't been ten minutes, and already Maulwurf had powered up. Of course, he was delighted. His dream was

finally fulfilled.

Tears glistened in his eyes as he knelt. “Thank you, Mr. Williams. I can't thank you enough.”

Zeke waved a hand dismissively. “It's all right. Go now. And be careful.”

“Yes, sir!” With that, Maulwurf left in a hurry.

His last sliver of rebellion was gone after Zeke helped him level up. Not only did he have a lot to gain from working

for Zeke, but the latter's teachings also helped him get stronger too.

On the other hand, working with Camp South Master for two years had gotten him nothing but a single spirit pill.

The difference between these two employers was staggering, to say the least.

It didn't take Maulwurf too long to return to Camp South. Upon meeting Camp South Master, he knelt and reported,

“Master, I bring important news.”

Impatiently, Camp South Master said, “Speak.”

“According to reliable sources, Zeke and his Centuria will be moving to the Beast District and establishing a Camp.”

What? The news came as a shocker. “Are you sure your sources are reliable?”
