King's Awakening

Chapter 548: Chapter 548: George’s Guess!

What!?

Our people have lost contact as well!?

George flew into a rage, a surge of fury instantly enveloping him.

For a moment, the temperature of the entire room seemed to drop significantly.

Even Charlie, George’s trusted general, couldn’t help but shiver, feeling a chill rising from his back, as if piercing his skull.

“Preposterous! Is Fierce Tiger City trying to rebel!?” George said, clenching his fist so forcefully that a table nearby instantly turned to dust.

The strength of George, an Innate Three-Stage Powerhouse, was undeniably exhibited at this moment.

Even Charlie, an Innate Second Stage powerhouse, displayed an anxious look upon sensing George’s fury, fearing that George’s rage might turn on him.

“Lord George, so what should we do now? Should we send troops to Fierce Tiger City directly?” Amidst his fear, Charlie managed to ask.

Dispatch troops!?

Hearing these words, George stood stunned for a while, then instantly calmed down. “No need! There’s something strange about this situation!”

“Oh!? Strange? What do you mean by this, Lord George?” Charlie inquired with a puzzled expression.

At this moment, George, with his eyes narrowed like a hawk, slowly analysed the situation. “There are still three whole days before the opening of Emperor Qing’s Relics. Three days is more than enough time to send troops to Fierce Tiger City and entirely uproot it.

“No sane person in Fierce Tiger City would choose to rupture their relations with us at this time!

“If I were Fierce Tiger City, the best strategy would be to wait until our troops from Heavenly Gang City are inside the Emperor Qing’s Relics. That would be the perfect moment to stab us in the back, it would be the least costly and reap the most benefits!

“Not only that, in order to avoid retaliation, after the attack, I would immediately leave Fierce Tiger City and not remain there, waiting until I’ve amassed enough power before challenging Heavenly Gang City again!”

Upon hearing this analysis, a blank expression appeared on Charlie’s face. He didn’t quite understand it.

If it wasn’t Fierce Tiger City making a move at this juncture, then why were the lines of communication to Fierce Tiger City suddenly cut off?

How could this be explained?

Seeing this, George rolled his eyes in annoyance at Charlie, then gruffly said, “In any case, if I were Fierce Tiger City, I would not choose to act at this moment!

The fact that we suddenly lost contact with people in Fierce Tiger City indicates that there must be some secretive plot going on!”

A plot!?

Charlie was again perplexed. With his intelligence, he couldn’t fathom what tricks the people of Fierce Tiger City were up to.

“Lord George, I think we’re being overly cautious. Perhaps it’s simply a lapse on our part resulting in lost contact. How ambitious could the people of Fierce Tiger City be?

Even if they wanted to stab us in the back, they would need the strength to do so. Their current strength added together isn’t even enough to pose a considerable threat to us.

Could they possibly be teaming up with the ants of Wild Land City?” Charlie voiced his doubts casually. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

But while Charlie didn’t think much of it, George read deeply between the lines.

Hearing this, George’s eyes widened. “Damn it! We’ve likely underestimated the strength of Wild Land City!”
