Hiring Immortal General was naturally unconvinced: From the beginning, I felt that your approach was wrong. With soone like Tobe Maxwell, who is destined to soar to greatness, cooperating honestly would not only make money, but also leave a sense of affection when they succeed!
What a good thing it was, and what have you done with it?
Now you’re blaming and pressuring to get rid of Edge River - in the current situation, how can I dare to make a move?
But like before, he couldn’t and didn’t dare to advise King Monroe. However, King Quennel was different. He was an old friend, and his mind wasn’t that sharp. After enduring it twice, he had a big fight with King Frederic, almost resorting to fighting, and the whole Six Armies knew about it.
It wasn’t sothing Master Hale had manipulated behind the scenes. King Quennel genuinely felt suffocated. Serving under his old friend without respect was even worse than being manipulated by Tobe Maxwell - at least there was a sense of accomplishnt then!
His thinking was simple: whoever makes unhappy, I will make them unhappy.
When Master Hale learned of this, he called King Frederic and Master Hale together to "diate" their conflict. However, Master Hale said, "We are all family, so let’s not make this too ugly. Let’s each take a step back and not dwell on this matter anymore. Otherwise, we will beco a laughingstock to outsiders."
He didn’t even ask King Frederic to formally apologize - Master Hale understood the Immortal Venerable’s intentions, which naturally leaned towards King Frederic.
Ever since Master Hale learned that King Frederic had intentionally leaked his own whereabouts to use Master Joseph to teach him a lesson, all the cooperation between them that had been previously discussed had vanished.
After returning, King Frederic held a welco party for Master Hale, where everyone appeared warm and cheerful on the surface. However, Master Hale has been stalling on the cooperation matter and not making any progress.
Inspection Immortal General was very enthusiastic about the matter and even sought Master Hale’s advice once. But Master Hale was noncommittal, and so after hearing about this, Inspection Immortal General dared not ntion it again.
Moreover, Inspection Immortal General silently cursed: King Frederic is truly a lost cause! Such a great opportunity was ruined by your so-called face-saving.
As King Frederic and Master Hale left Master Hale’s Raising Hall, the last bit of surface courtesy between them was torn apart.
Master Hale looked cold and didn’t want to say more. As he walked down the stairs first, King Frederic called out from behind, "Tobe Maxwell!"
Master Hale stopped and turned to face him. King Frederic laughed with a sense of superiority, "This Heaven Realm belongs to the Immortal Venerables and Emperor Venerables. Everything here can be decided by their word. You are very talented, and they value you highly. However, you should be more restrained in your behavior. This is my advice to you, understand?"
Having said that, King Frederic walked away with an air of arrogance and boarded his chariot, escorted by 120 armored guards, and left in a grand procession.
Master Hale stood there alone, looking extrely "helpless" and "miserable."
Countless eyes were watching from the shadows, and as King Frederic left the Raising Hall, people knew that Master Hale had favored him. Master Hale had ultimately chosen his "old friend," and the winds shifted in Hiram Garden. Heavenly River Courtyard imdiately cut off all contact with Master Hale.
The news spread, and the immortals secretly sighed but were not surprised. The higher-ups always protected their own. Who could bla Tobe Maxwell for having such a shallow foundation? You were Master Hale’s subordinate and relied on his support to attain your current status. When Master Hale asked you to endure, what else could you do?
anwhile, Edge River, hiding in the shadows, imdiately ceased any further action, not daring to leak any more information.
King Frederic had secretly issued a bounty for Edge River’s head, offering 10,000 Immortal Coins! King Frederic was very dissatisfied with Hiring Immortal General’s ability to handle matters, and this bounty showed his arrogant attitude.
It seed that Tobe Maxwell’s side had really accepted their fate - there had been no movent for four or five days. The various Immortal Generals of the Six Armies also believed that the situation was settled, and those who had originally sided with Master Hale, such as Tyler soldier, began expressing their loyalty to King Frederic in secret.
Only the most "fence-sitting" Inspection Immortal General, sensed sothing unusual: Tobe Maxwell never handed over the exploration results of One Heaven!
Those explorations of the farm were in the hands of Samara.Tyler soldier, following King Frederic’s orders, went to interrogate Samara. Samara, along with all her subordinates, sat cross-legged inside a large room, leaving behind all immortal artifacts without any resistance. She said to Tyler soldier, "Without Elder Brother’s order, no one can learn the location of good lands from us."
"If you insist on forcing us, we dare not resist. We will take the execution willingly!"
"Please do it, sir. There are a total of forty-five of us here. Our heads are all yours, so feel free to slaughter us!"
Tyler soldier was furious. With both soft and hard tactics, he still couldn’t make Samara talk. Angrily, he returned to report to King Frederic, secretly exaggerating and adding extra details to the story, hoping that King Frederic would order half of them to be killed next ti!
Master Sun still did not take any action, but Edge River, who was hiding, could not hold on any longer.
These days, his subordinates were worried and now, seeing Tobe Maxwell at a disadvantage, they were all thinking about turning against him. "Elder Brother, we’ve done everything that you and Tobe Maxwell agreed upon, we’ve been loyal to him."
"But he can’t hold his ground. We need to think about ourselves."
"So many people are looking for us outside. If our brothers show their faces now, they’ll definitely be killed and used to claim the bounty."
"Let’s turn against him, Elder Brother. If we hesitate any longer, we’ll miss our chance."
Edge River did not want to betray Tobe Maxwell. He could betray King Frederic to collaborate with Tobe Maxwell, so betraying Tobe Maxwell again wouldn’t weigh on his conscience too much. However, so inside information his subordinates didn’t know was that the hiding spot was arranged by Divine Machine Departnt... If they turned against Tobe Maxwell, would there be a way out?
Master Sun tested Samara one last ti but didn’t plan to test Edge River, whose every move was monitored by Divine Machine Departnt.
Master Amos and King Monroe secretly contacted Master Sun to offer assistance, but Master Sun rejected them.
Another three days passed—during this ti, Tyler soldier visited Samara again and beat up her eight subordinates to a pulp, but still, no one betrayed Master Sun.
Master Sun knew his actions were sowhat cruel, but having had experienced the Lower Realm, he had developed a mindset of soone in power and knew this was a necessary process.
"It’s about ti," Master Sun muttered to himself, then lightly tapped the table. A jade plate soared into the air and headed towards Raising Hall.
This was Master Sun’s resignation letter, written in advance.
As this jade plate soared into the sky, a few more jade plates flew up from various parts of Hiram Garden, almost all landing on Master Hale’s jade case at the sa ti.
A total of six Institute Heads from the Lower Courtyards, including the Immortal King from Blind Master Courtyard, all submitted their resignation!
Not only did Master Sun want to leave, but he also wanted to take away a large group of core mbers from Hiram Garden! Master Hale, you make the first move, and I’ll make the fifteenth!
These Lower Courtyard Institute Heads were not Master Hale’s confidants. They had been suppressed and marginalized over the years and harbored resentnt. Seeing that Hiram Garden had regained so of its forr glory because of "Tobe Maxwell," they wanted to punish the heroes?
Master Sun secretly contacted and liaised with them. When they heard that Divine Machine Departnt was willing to take over, they slapped the table in unison: "Damn it, let’s rebel!"
Almost at the sa ti, Master Hamilton from Divine Machine Departnt stepped forward, announcing the recruitnt of "Tobe Maxwell, the First Refining Royal of the New Generation," and granted him the position of "Primary Departnt" in Divine Machine Departnt!
Everyone was shocked. Master Hale and King Frederic were greatly surprised, losing face. At this point, they still didn’t know that more humiliating events were yet to co.
