Chapter 1525: Greed



Later that day, when they finally regathered at the camp, the Blue Moon wolves were surprised to find that Emery and his Twilight Fang pack had caught a member of the bandits, a magus level one at that.

Looking at the restrained captive under Morgana's care. Ashi of the Blue Moon had his mouth wide open for a few moments before he asked, "Evan, h-how? Where did you find him?!"

With a faint smile, Emery said, "We were lucky to find him traveling by himself. I'm guessing that he was on his way to their hideout!"

"Good! Evan, good job!" saying those words, Ashi walked up to the man and said, "Tell me why you are here! And where is your leader hiding? Where is Tidur the Chain Breaker?!"

The restrained man scoffed before saying, "I will tell you where he is as long as you let me go!"

The Blue Moon chief slightly narrowed his eyes when he heard that. "No, no. That's not how it works, pal. You will take me there first, and then I will let you go!"

"No! No! I know this area is surrounded. Do you think I'm stupid?! If I lead you there, you will never let me go!"

The man that Emery and the others had 'captured' was Frostmind. Naturally, all the restraint that was on his body was a necessary part of their plan to trick the Blue Moon pack.

As he watched the man's performance, Emery had to give him some credit for displaying such believable acts.

Seeing that the discussion was going nowhere, Ashi eventually gave up on trying to make it work. He took out the communication stone and looked at Emery as he said, "I'm going to report this."

The communication stone was the one used for the operation and connected to the other group; it could only be activated by the Corvin pack leader.

Upon hearing those words, the captive man immediately became agitated and said, "Don't!! Please don't!! I will tell you! I'm here to take the treasure we are hiding! Our treasure trove! Let me go and I will share it with you!!"

The sudden mention of the word 'treasure' seemed to be working as Ashi immediately held back from activating the communication stone. Reporting this matter to the superiors would likely mean losing the wealth for themselves.

Seeing the man's hesitation, Emery quickly followed with the plan and said "Chief Ashi, I am the one who captured him, you will have to share it with me!!'

Emery was surprised that the man was easily convinced, even without proof of the treasure's existence.his greed for the bandits' pile of treasure was enough to make the chief of Blue Moon set his mission aside.

He looked at Emery and said "I have seven in my group and you only four, whatever we find, we will split it 80:20"

Emery inwardly smiled when Ashi turned to Frostmind and told him he agreed to the deal. It seemed that the Blue Moon chief fully committed to the idea, as the two packs quickly followed the now partially shackled Frostmind to where the 'treasure' was.

With the first part of the plan a success, Emery secretly sent a signal through the tiny familiar belonging to Annara that was attached to his shoulder. 

"It's a go"

Minutes laters, dozens miles away, suddenly the communication stone hanging from Ashi's waist glowed. A moment later, someone's voice sounded in the air.

"We have spotted the rebel leader! He is running to the south!"

It was clearly a report from one of the groups, requesting for reinforcement. This quickly made Ashi stop in his tracks, hesitation obviously  showing on his face.

Noticing this, Frostmind immediately said, "What are you waiting for? We are so close,"

Of course, Emery quickly played his part by saying, "Chief Ashi, I am sure not everyone needs to go, someone still needs to cover this area, what if you let me follow this treasure trove bullshit while you help the operation?"

Finally the Blue moon chief shows his real face saying "Trusting you with the treasure? No, I am not that stupid! We will go together"

"Chief Ashi there are other group near this area, I am afraid it doesn't justify all of us staying"

Those words quickly made Chief Ashi reach for the communication stone and told the others that he would volunteer guarding the area, convincing the other packs to freely make their way over to where the rebel leader was.

Staring at Frostmind, Ashi said, "Hurry now, show me where it is!"

Following Frostmind's lead, the two groups headed towards one of the rock cliffs that was in the middle of the forest, and as soon as they drew closer, the Blue Moon chief's face changed when he sensed numerous energy signatures coming out one of the caves, dozens of them.

"This is not a treasure trove!, this is their hideout!" exclaimed Ashi in disbelief.

However, before he could activate his communication stone, Emery had already sneaked up on him, cutting off the arm that was reaching for the stone. Blood splattered in the air as the Blue Moon members were shocked by the unexpected development.

"AARGHH!! What the fuck are you doing?!! Kill them all!!"

Ashi shouted loudly, ordering his Blue Moon pack to attack Emery. Unfortunately for him, the red-haired girl of Twilight Fang had already prepared her powerful spell [Hell Flame]. The surging wave of blazing flame rushed like a tsunami and effectively stopped the Blue Moon members' advance, burning two of their saint level members into charred corpses.

At the same time, Tatyana and Andrei attacked the other Blue Moon members who were still distracted by the destructive spell, dealing with the latter with ease and even overpowering them.

"You!! You have been hiding your power!!"

"It's too late to realize now!"

Realizing their precarious situation, Ashi quickly sounded the order to retreat, but not only reinforcement poured from the mouth of the cave, Emery had also released Frostmind's restraints.

In just a matter of minutes, the entire Blue Moon pack was incapacitated, leaving their chief standing last. His face was pale as he looked at Emery, realizing that he was the mastermind of all this.

'Why!? Evan, why are you doing this?!"

Emery calmly said, "Because you are a scum.. And worst of all, you are Corvin scum!"

"You will not get away with this!! They will know what you did to us!"

At that attempted threat, Emery smiled wickedly as he said "They will know? How exactly?"

Looking into the man's eyes, Emery continued, "It was your voice, your message that was heard by the others. For all they know, it's either you betrayed them or you fought the rebels bravely and died. As for me and my pack, we were never here!"

"Damn you, Evan!!"

"You even cursed the wrong name"

Not willing to take any chances, Emery mercilessly killed the man, He then turned to Frostmind and said, "Quickly take the refugees away before they capture your leader."
