Chapter 150 Rewards from the Faction Leader

Chapter 150 Rewards from the Faction Leader

Wizard Horn gaped, speechless for a moment.

Even the Gorman faction leader, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them. A flash of fire appeared in his eyes, and his hand on the armrest unconsciously tightened its grip. With a "crack," he crushed a corner of the hard ironwood armrest.

"What did you say?" Gorman's voice was like a suppressed volcano, filled with a chilling rage.

Wizard Horn snapped out of his daze, quickly regaining his composure, and pressed on urgently, "Captain Leon! Please—please explain the situation in detail, it's extremely important!"

Li Ang nodded and recounted everything that had happened that night in the faction leader's room.

He recounted every detail without reservation, from how he pursued the Dark Witch to how he tested Matthew with words, to Matthew's confession about how he colluded with the Dark Witch to stage an accident during a field trip in an attempt to kill Helena, and how he proudly declared that he was leading the way in order to steal the "Primordial Fire"—including Matthew's twisted theory of hatred.

As Li Ang spoke, the face of the Gorman faction leader grew darker and darker, and the heat emanating from his body seemed to raise the temperature in the conference room by several degrees.

From maritime attacks and the Whispering Forest incident to field practice accidents, and now this audacious attack inside the tower—

Behind this series of events, the shadow of the Dark Witch was indeed present.

They were initially puzzled as to why the Dark Wizard could find the location of the Primal Flame so accurately, assuming that Matthew had been captured and forced to lead the way. However, they never expected that he had done so voluntarily and was even a member of the Dark Wizards long ago.

"You traitorous dog!" Wizard Horn muttered under his breath, his face filled with contempt and anger.

With the questioning essentially over, Wizard Horn looked at Gorman.

Gorman didn't immediately respond, but instead glanced at Celia beside him and asked in a deep voice, "How is it?"

Celia leaned back lazily in her chair, a strange light swirling in her golden eyes. A confident smile played on her lips: "No problem, everything is true."

After saying that, she didn't even wait for Gorman's response before standing up abruptly, the hem of her blue robe drawing a graceful arc, and turned to leave the conference room.

Gorman seemed to be used to Celia's unconventional behavior. He nodded and turned his gaze back to Leon.

A rare smile appeared on his previously serious, even angry face. Though faint, it was enough to dispel the previous solemnity.

"Leon," Gorman's voice softened considerably, "you did an excellent job."

His eyes held undisguised admiration.

"You were an outstanding member of the Eighth Squad. Even after becoming the captain, you did not slack off in the slightest. Whether it was organizing the team or fighting the enemy, you demonstrated abilities and a sense of responsibility that exceeded your level."

He paused, his tone becoming exceptionally solemn: "I, Gorman, on behalf of the Elementalist School, express my sincerest gratitude to you."

After saying this, the hot-tempered and respected fifth-level wizard actually put his right hand on his chest, bowed slightly to Li Ang, who had just been promoted to second-level wizard, and paid his respects!

Li Ang quickly stood up, stepped aside, and said humbly, "Faction Leader, you flatter me. Protecting the Wizard Tower and eliminating traitors is my duty as a member of the enforcement team."

Listening to Li Ang's humble words, which were neither arrogant nor self-aggrandizing, Gorman's admiration grew even stronger.

Ever since Li Ang became the captain, he had actually been keeping a close eye on things from the shadows.

In just a few days, he recruited and initially assembled a diverse squad on his own, and even managed to keep the hot-tempered dwarf princess Sandramea completely under his control.

She even managed to control Olivia, the lazybones who gave even her mother a headache.

This organizational and managerial skill is something that ordinary wizards do not possess.

In addition, there was Celeste's previous report about the courage and potential that Leon had shown on the ship when he arrived in Tahrir.

As Gorman looked at Li Ang, a thought suddenly arose in his mind: if Li Ang's current level wasn't too low, he would even think that he was a good candidate to be groomed as the successor to the faction leader.

The two current successors are: Celeste is too aloof and not good at dealing with people. He is adequate as a butler to lead the fighting force, but he is bound to be inadequate to lead the entire Elemental School. Diana is powerful, but she prefers to rely on absolute power and lacks a delicate mind and strategy.

This is one of the reasons why he has not yet relinquished his position as faction leader, even though his own condition is already very poor.

Gorman collected his thoughts and said to Li Ang, "The matter of the Dark Witch attack is currently undergoing final investigation and evidence gathering. Once the investigation is complete, the Tower will convene all members for a briefing, after which rewards will be distributed based on merit."

"However, before that—"

He then changed the subject, saying, "In the name of the leader of the Elementalist School, I will first give you an extra reward to recognize your outstanding performance in this incident, as well as—your achievement in eliminating the traitor."

He looked intently at Li Ang and continued, "At the same time, I also want to thank you personally. If it weren't for your timely intervention, [Primordial Flame]..."

Once stolen—

When Gorman got to this point, he didn't hesitate at all and directly revealed this information that should have been top secret, his tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible sigh.

"I might not have many days left to live."

Upon hearing this, Li Ang was immediately taken aback, wondering why the faction leader would tell him such an important secret.

Gorman took in his surprised expression, a knowing smile playing on his lips, and waved his hand. "Remember to keep this a secret."

Countless possibilities flashed through Li Ang's mind in an instant, but he still immediately and solemnly replied, "Yes, faction leader, I will definitely keep my mouth shut."

In the end, Li Ang received a generous reward of contribution points.

Gorman rewarded him with 1,000 points in the name of the faction leader and another 1,000 points in his personal capacity, for a total of 2,000 contribution points.

Leaving the faction leader's office, Li Ang was quite satisfied. This unexpected income had brought him one step closer to repairing the floating core.

For the next few days, everything inside and around the tower was calm.

Li Ang leads the First Special Operations Group on routine patrols every day, while also keeping a close eye on the growth of medicinal herbs in the herb garden.

Under the accelerated effect of the LV6 herb garden, those originally somewhat immature seedlings are growing vigorously at a speed visible to the naked eye.

During the patrol, large groups of followers could be seen busy at the cemetery and the plaza outside the tower, repairing the wounds left by the great battle.
