The Reincarnation of the Kingmaker



Chapter 222: The War that Decides the Fate of 'The Bridge' Part 25

By leaving the woman alive, Chief Kylo would continue to believe that Kayn won't be able to touch the content inside the Storage Ring. In that way, it won't ever cross the former's mind that they have access to the key.

"Done," Kayn threw the Storage Ring to Jude after unlocking it.

"How on Earth do you do that?" Jericho was still left confused at how exactly Kayn can unlock a Storage Ring without the permission of the owner or the owner's death.

"I'll tell you all about it at the right time," Kayn simply smiled at Jericho. As of now, he can't tell anyone else of the method to unlock Storage Rings yet, even people he trusts, because if the method accidentally gets leaked ahead of time, he won't be able to take full advantage of such future knowledge.

"I'll take note of that," Jericho choose to wait patiently.

Everyone turned their attention to Jude who now has the key.

"Wait, I am looking for it," Jude muttered while some sweat could be seen on his forehead.

"What is taking you so long?" Gilbert narrowed his eyes.

"This is a woman's Storage Ring, dude!" Jude felt frustrated. "Even their bags feels like you are looking for something in a milky way,"

Everyone immediately understood.

Not long after, Jude finally sighs in relief. With a wave of his hand, he took out a staff that emits emerald-colored light.

"This is it!" Jude exclaimed in excitement. "Levitation Scepter,"

"It has only one Active Skill, no Passive Skill whatsoever," Jude slightly felt disappointed after reading its content. "Though it says here that its other functions will only be revealed when it finally serves its purpose,"

Kayn and the others can already guess what its ability is.

"It can become core to allow a territory to fly and travel to the sky,"

Contrary to everyone who is clueless about the other sealed functions of the Levitation Scepter, Kayn is very familiar with the item. It is a special rank item that becomes a must-possess item for anyone that desires to build a territory inside the 'Tower'. The reason is that it allows them to bring their territory to whatever floor they want to be.

"Make sure to keep that," Kayn wanted to possess the Levitation Scepter, but he doesn't want to take away an item that Jude is meant to possess. He believes that this should be where the latter found the Levitation Scepter that he possessed in the future.

"Depends on what the other functions are. But it should be good considering its rank is special," Jude was hopeful.

"Let's go!" Kayn finally decided to leave the city before the city-wide search from the Assembly of Freedom is initiated.

Following the same path they took to get inside the city, Kayn and everyone soon ascended to the top of the wall.

Because of the commotion close to the headquarters, there was almost no guard on top of the wall. Almost all of them were sent as reinforcement.

As a result, Kayn's group was able to descend from the wall without any trouble.

The moment they landed, they quickly made their way back to the Daze Village.

Upon reaching the entrance of the Daze Village, everyone immediately noticed an increase in the number of visitors being checked at the entrance.

The majority of the people were wearing tuxedos and attires used for a ball, which implies that these were the people that successfully escaped from the chaos in the city of the Assembly of Freedom.

"Look what we have here, our prey voluntarily entering our den," Gilbert can't help smiling at the sight.

"Hold back yourself," Kayn shook his head. "We have to stay low for some time,"

"Why?" Jude doesn't understand. "This would be such a waste if we let them go,"

"It would also be a waste if we don't gather information about these people while they stay in the Daze Village," Kayn explained.

"Fair enough,"

Gilbert and Jude finally understood.

All of a sudden, a group of people suddenly approached Kayn's group.

Seeing them, Gilbert, Jude, and Charles immediately raised their weapons in case these people are up to no good.

"It's okay, they are part of the Assembly of Freedom and good friends of mine," Jericho signaled with his hand to assure everyone that it is safe.

"How lucky for us to see you here Chairman Jericho,"

A guy with red hair expresses his relief.

"Were you perhaps in the ball as well?"

Another guy with blue hair wonders.

"I was, were the three of you brothers also present back then?"

"Yeah…"

A guy with green hair nodded.

Kayn immediately notices that these three people are triplets.

"Did you attend as one group or three different groups?" Jericho asked as he notices that the three didn't have a guard with them.

"All of our guards died to protect us during the chaos in the ballroom," The guy with red hair felt sorrow at the loss of their loyal men.

"Did you bring Ben and Kevin too?" Jadiel asked in worry.

"No, they are waiting for us inside the Daze Village as we speak,"

"That's good," Jadiel felt relieved. Ben and Kevin were two of his close friends.

"If it is okay to ask, what was your intention of going to the Assembly of Freedom? I thought that you wanted to remain neutral for this war?"

"We do,"

"We still thought that same,"

"We just attended the ball on the Green Horn City's side last night,"

"So we thought, why not visit their opponent's ball as well,"

"How? Shouldn't the people on the guests list only be the official allies of the Assembly of Freedom?"

"Well, we are part of the Thieves Guild Alliance, so we were naturally invited as well,"

"It was weird, but I think I understand why,"

"Those devious Assembly of Freedom, they actually thought of making the ball into a place to enact revenge,"

"What do you expect from a bunch of unreasonable people? It was already good enough that they didn't serve humans as dishes as I thought,"

"Nobody does that, Jade!" The man with blue hair felt his twin brother's words were unfounded.

"Who could say for certain, Azurite," Jade believes that it is possible.

"Look at him, Spinel," Azurite looks at his brother with red hair to ask for assistance.

"Silence you two," Spinel sternly warns his two brothers. "Anyways, can I ask for assistance to get inside the Daze Village? The line is so long and I am afraid the Assembly of Freedom might bring their chaos here anytime soon,"

"Alright," Jericho doesn't find it troublesome to help his friends. These triplets were people who share similar beliefs as him. They just want to become the richest in the entire 'The Bridge'.

"You wouldn't mind, right?" Jericho looks at Kayn.

"As long as it is okay for you," Kayn smiles.

"Thank you," Jericho appreciates the trust.

With that being said, everyone followed Jericho to get through the entrance of the Daze Village without having to go through the long and tedious line.
