Chapter 825 - Being Attacked from the Inside and Outside

However, Reynolds was still annoyed. Could those damned bastards be a little more professional? It was fine if they stole things all the time; that was just more exhausting for him. The key thing was, the resources that the desert thieves stole this morning would be returned back to them in the afternoon of the same day!

You shouldn’t act as if your IQ was non-existent just because you look dumb!

If that was the case, he would be more devoted to the great Shakima in the future.

It was the Shakima Desert Bandits! The person walking at the front of the army was Michael, the person who introduced Barmi into the desert thieves organization. Both of them came from the same village. Michael was the strongest warrior in the village and also the personal guard of the great Shakima.

“My noble Desert Emperor, how could I waste your precious time? I have prepared something as a token of my sincerity. You can take a look first. And feel free to add on to it if you need anything else.”

He was the first to be promoted to Dimensional Predator among the newcomers, and he had depended on his own power to change the Holy City higher-ups’ impression of the Empire, convincing them to change their strategy. He had managed to fight for an impromptu arrangement for more than a hundred Empire citizens to gain entry into the Holy City, doing this in under two months during his novice period. Perhaps the ordinary Holy Apprentices or Holy Disciples didn’t understand what this meant, but anyone who was following the policy-making decisions of the higher-ups closely knew that this was a brilliant feat which could only be achieved by a talented ruler.

Of course, that was just Solomon’s individual ability, and there were many other factors. Only some people from the spectator stands supported him. Other than the few people from the Phantom Squadron that he joined, as well as some dimensional humans and alien races who weren’t involved in the Empire and Federation feud, the rest of the audience didn’t respect him much as most of the spectators were Federation citizens.

“Senior, what do you think of him?” Grai seemed to be rather interested in Solomon too, which was surprising since he was rarely interested in other people.

“I wanted to know what Senior thought of Solomon.” Grai chuckled. Wang Zhong was probably the only person who would be so casual about the upcoming challenge.

At this point in time, most of the defending champions were already in their respective positions — Solomon, Carolyn, Hyde Alexander, Vladimir… The cheers from the spectator stands had never stopped ever since Carolyn took her place. Compared to Carolyn or Hyde, who was a dimensional human, Solomon could never receive the same amount of support in the Holy City due to the differences in geography. This was also what the 10 Great Families relied on when dealing with the Empire’s strong ‘invasion’ into the Holy City. Even Vladimir, Grai, and Napier, who weren’t as famous as Solomon, received a large round of applause from the audience. However, the next person…

Marie Ji was dumbfounded by this sight. What kind of person was Wang Zhong? How could a newcomer be able to cause such a reaction? This definitely wasn’t solely because of the experimental accident. What atrocity had this dude committed to cause this reaction? Not only Marie Ji, even Lan Daier, who roughly knew what kind of reputation Wang Zhong had in the Holy City, was sweating furiously at this sight.

Currently, her Skylink was switched on, and her account was linked to a small discussion group. There weren’t many people inside, only Gui Hao and Vladimir. The three of them were from the 10 Great Families and represented the Federation. Their aim in this challenge was crystal clear — to protect the reputation of the Federation. They definitely wouldn’t let Solomon have a chance to glorify himself! During this period of time, everyone could sense that Solomon was like a poisonous viper, making his moves silently. Who knew what other antics he would come up with in this challenge?

Opposite her, Gui Hao merely laughed coldly. They had nothing in common at all.

“So unconfident? Doesn’t seem like your style.”

“Do you see Enoch?” Vladimir’s gaze was on a figure beside Solomon.
