Holden Trueno was most puzzled by the secrecy surrounding the issue, even Colonel Robles was unwilling to discuss it.
"Would Young Master Trueno like to know why?"
At that mont, soone walked over and speaking with a cheerful tone.
Holden Trueno lifted his gaze and saw it’s was a stranger, "Who are you?"
"Young Master Trueno, I know him. He’s from the Rodriguez family," Lorenzo Garraka cautiously said.
"The Rodriguez family?"
Holden Trueno knew of the Rodriguez family, but he had little interaction with them.
So, he imdiately rolled his eyes, and said: "Do you think you know more than I do?"
Holden Trueno dismissed the man in from of him.
"Of course I know. Isn’t Young Master Trueno curious about why Amalia and Kenny Lin were imdiately called to a eting by Mr. Lin when they returned?" Hernan Rodriguez said with a smile, not letting Holden Trueno’s attitude bother him, although he cursed him countless tis in his heart.
Holden Trueno was indeed curious; otherwise, he wouldn’t have sought them out.
He made it seem like a chance encounter, but in reality, it was intentional.
"What does that have to do with you?"
Holden Trueno wouldn’t admit his interest in Kenny Lin’s every move.
Hernan Rodriguez shrugged, "It doesn’t concern , but it has a lot to do with Young Master Trueno. If my guess is correct, the information about the mutated creatures’s attack on the city likely ca from Kenny Lin and Amalia. If the information is accurate, it would be a major achievent, and everyone would compare you to him again."
Holden Trueno loathed being compared to Kenny Lin.
If he were better than Kenny Lin, it wouldn’t be so bad.
But he was always far outmatched him in every aspect, which irritated him even more.
"Why are you telling this? What’s your goal?"
Holden Trueno was not a fool; even if he disliked Kenny Lin, he didn’t want to be used by others.
"I just wanted to remind you, Young Master Trueno, that the upcoming city defense battle will likely be more brutal and chaotic than before. You’re General Trueno’s only son, so take care of yourself. Don’t let anyone take advantage of you in the chaos. If anything happens to you, it will greatly affect General Trueno," Hernan Rodriguez said before leaving.
Holden Trueno frowned, "What does he an?"
Lorenzo Garraka quickly explained, "He ans that soone might try to target you during the chaos."
He then added, "Young Master Trueno, rather than letting that happen, why don’t we strike first? Didn’t you say you really dislike Amalia and Kenny Lin?"
Holden Trueno gave Lorenzo Garraka a sidelong glance, his expression odd, "Strike first to gain the upper hand? Heh."
Lorenzo Garraka held back his questions about what Holden Trueno ant by that strange laugh.
...
"What did you call here for?" As soon as the eting ended, Tony Lin was told that Amalia and his younger brother were looking for him.
Amalia didn’t speak; she directly took out a blue skin tree from her Soltice Ring.
The situation had been urgent at the ti, so she had brought the entire tree back.
"Second brother, take a look at this."
"This is?" Tony Lin stared at the blue skin tree for a long mont and his expression turned serious, "What is this?"
"..."
Amalia realized she had overestimated him.
Kenny Lin couldn’t stand how clueless his older brother looked, "It’s a blue skin tree. How could you not know that? Aren’t you supposed to be a colonel?"
Tony Lin wasn’t angry and he didn’t care.
His attention was entirely on the blue skin tree, "Where did you get this? This blue skin tree must be around seven hundred years old, right?"
"To be precise, it’s seven hundred and sixty years old," Yolanda Yoder said as she walked in from outside.
Amalia had called her in as well, "We found it in the Yellow Owlfire’s territory. There are many trees over five hundred years old there, while the outer area contains trees that are one to two hundred years old."
"I knew there had to be blue skin trees in the central disaster zone; they were just hiding in the territories of the high-level mutated creatures," Tony Lin marveled.
Especially in the Yellow Owlfire’s territory—if it was ordinary spiritual cultivators that entering that area they would likely to die before they can even finding the blue skin trees.
Yolanda Yoder added, "it’s no wonder we hadn’t been able to find any before."
"Auntie, how are you and granduncle’s injuries, as well as Mr. Houssay’s?" Amalia took the opportunity to ask.
"They left earlier. Your granduncle couldn’t wait, so I’m stayed here for you. Are you planning to stay and defend the city against the mutated creatures’s attack?"
Yolanda Yoder initially wanted to leave with her, but given the situation, it seed she would not be leaving.
Amalia nodded, "It’s sothing I must face eventually."
Yolanda Yoder didn’t try to dissuade her.
"I called you here to ask you to send a team in. After the Yellow Owlfire’s leaves it’s territory, let’s raid its ho," Amalia got straight to the point.
Tony Lin and Yolanda Yoder had already guessed as much, so they weren’t surprised.
"The city defense battle will likely be over in a few days. In the anti, find a place to hide and wait for it to end before coming out."
Tony Lin gave her a thumbs up.
This strategy was brilliant.
If the Yellow Owlfire survived the battle and returned to its territory, only to find that all the blue skin trees had been cut down, it would either die on the battlefield or be infuriated to death.
"I agree. The central disaster zone, with its blue-skinned trees, has mostly been searched. What’s left are in dangerous places where even the Yoder family may not be able to find them."
Yolanda Yoder spoke up, and her thoughts aligned with Amalia’s.
The two were indeed related, as aunt and niece.
