Chapter 2671


    Themander asked, “Johnny, what did you bring for Southern Master? Give it to me; I need to


    check it.”


    He was afraid the man would try to sneak some weapons into the city.


    Hearing that, Johnny subconsciously hid the bag on his back and replied, “I think... it''s best that you


    don''t check this.”


    Naturally, themander only got more suspicious of Johnny the more he tried to stop him from


    checking.


    Tightening his hold on his weapon, themander asked in a serious tone, “Why can''t we check it?


    Please cooperate with us and open up the bag yourself.”


    Johnny sighed and muttered, “All right. I hope you won''t regret this,mander.”


    With that, he slung the bag off his shoulder and ced it on the ground before opening it carefully.


    When the head inside was revealed, everyone present felt their hearts lurch, and they clenched their


    weapons before aiming them at Johnny.


    Before they could do anything, however, they got the shock of their lives when they realized the head


    belonged to their rent collector.


    Our rent collector is dead!


    It was well known in the Southern Faction that the rent collector, Speedy, was Southern King''s


    illegitimate son. Although Southern King never admitted to this, his love for Speedy was obvious to all.


    I can''t believe someone actually beheaded Southern Master''s precious son. This is bad... Southern


    Master will definitely raze the Northern Faction to the ground once he finds out about this.


    Forcing a calm front, themander eximed in a trembling voice, “H-How dare you kill our rent


    collector! And you even have the audacity to send his remains back to us? This is a tant act of


    provocation! The Southern Faction will never let you off!”


    Turning to look at the guards, he ordered, “Men, arrest Johnny Rowaz this instant! He shall wait for his


    punishment by Southern Master''s hands.


    “Yes, sir!”


    The guards went ahead and pinned Johnny down with ease.


    Johnny hastily exined, “I didn''t kill him,mander! I''m innocent! Speedy''s death was caused by


    the Centurias and has nothing to with me, nor does it have anything to do with the Northern Faction!”


    He added, “Besides, I risked my life to bring Speedy''s head back here. If it weren''t for me, the


    Centurias would have fed him to the dogs already.”

    Huh?


    Themander grabbed Johnny''s cor. “What did you say? The Centurias killed Speedy?”


    Johnny nodded fervently. “Yes.”


    Hah! That''s bullsh*t!


    Upon that thought, themander punched Johnny so hard that thetter felt his head spinning.


    He then growled, “The Centurias are nothingpared to us, yet they dare kill one of our members, a


    Legion? Not to mention the person they killed was the rent collector? There''s no way I''d believe that!


    You must be lying!”


    Johnny emphasized, “I swear on my life that the Centurias are responsible for Speedy''s death! You


    might not know about this, but they have a new leader. This new leader has already united them all to


    lead a mutiny against the rest of the Northern Faction.”


    He continued, “Forget it. Just let me meet with Southern Master. Things are a bitplicated, and I


    can''t exin them to you clearly.”


    Themander, too, was of the opinion that this matter was way out of his league and that he would


    have no way of handling it.


    As such, he immediately ordered his subordinates to notify Southern King of this before escorting


    Johnny to the Southern Faction camp.


    Meanwhile, in one of the most luxurious houses in the Southern Faction base, Southern King was in


    the midst of flirting with his young lover.


    Although he had countless lovers, the children that he fathered were few and far between. Of course,


    the reason for that wasn''t because he didn''t want any more children. Instead, he was involved in an


    ident that made him infertile soon after Speedy was born.


    After his eldest son was killed by the enemy in a battle, Speedy became the only son he had left.


    As such, Southern King hid Speedy''s identity so that thetter would not be targeted for being his son.


    Unfortunately, nothing stays hidden forever, and news of Speedy being Southern King''s illegitimate son


    soon spread like wildfire.


    Left without a choice, Southern King could only assign Speedy to be the rent collector. This way, his


    son would only need to deal with the Centurias and not participate in the war between Legions.
