46 A diamond in the rough
His eyes flashed with anger at that mont, but he understood he was not in a good position to do anything.
Still, he realized that the other person who had been with Caspian a few hours ago in the mountains and had helped him create that ambush for him was this Mr. Becker present.
But, anyway, he is not strong enough at present. Mr. Becker cos from one of the Vampire Clans, and Caspian White is the subordinate of one of the Heirs, and his family seems powerful. To say that they were colluding with the Devourers would be hard to believe if there is no real proof, and even if there were, the high-level society of the world is not that simple.
Whenever he leads to profit, they will make such illicit deals, and those of equal strength will turn a blind eye. That is why he must be a bit careful this ti, although he will not fail to assassinate his enemy if he gets the chance.
This ti, he quickly turned his attention away from Caspian to avoid arousing suspicion and for Caspian to watch out for him and look at the Leader who ran towards him.
"You really didn't die; how did you manage to survive an ambush by such a powerful devourer?" the Leader asked in shock, and just then, Caspian also stepped forward to speak.
"Brother, did you really manage to survive that guy? We were only saved by Lord Becker's help!" Caspian said.
His performance was so surprising that he looked angry, surprised, and slightly sad.
Matt nodded to the Leader with difficulty.
"Leader, I would like to speak alone with you and my team. I think we have so good news for you." Matt said smiling, slightly surprising the Leader, who this ti was quite excited that the two most talented had managed to survive.
That was why he didn't hesitate to nod to him and looked at the rest of the people, "Everyone out. When the investigation team cos, tell them we have much to discuss. Also, take the wounded to the dical center imdiately. Everyone stand guard and defend the camp from any ambushes that may happen." He said firmly, ordering different things. He then entered the tent, followed by Matt, Isla, and several group mbers.
Matt picked up the head and carried it inside, where the Leader asked them to sit down and take so dicine before allowing them to speak.
"Boy, what's that head you carry around?" the Leader asked doubtfully, and Matt handed it to him.
The Leader felt stunned as he realized what it was.
'This is...' He thought in shock, and just then, Matt spoke.
"The devourer we were up against had a small and not very powerful group, but he himself was a big threat. He had over 5 thousand power and nurous powerful abilities, plus he could use mana in a very versatile way to further strengthen his skin and gain incredible speed. Still, I managed to kill him. That's the head." Matt answered sincerely, demonstrating his accomplishnts.
At the sa ti, the mbers of Matt's group began to praise him after rembering this.
"That's right; the Leader managed to stand up to that powerful devourer and sweep the floor with him, hahaha."
"Right, right. The Leader even broke several of his teeth with a punch, hahaha."
Several of them started speaking with admiration and praise for Matt at that mont.
But the army leader wasn't listening to them.
He was in shock, staring at the devourer's head in his hand.
Naturally, a person as strong as he was could see that the head in his hand was not that of a common devourer.
'A student with less than 4,000 Power killed a devourer with more than 5,000...' He thought in shock after listening to Matt's story for a bit.
Who could believe that? But...
Wasn't the biggest proof before his eyes?
'This... How the hell is it possible to do this?' He thought.
Just then, he rembered that Matt's teacher was also a legendary man who had been able to defeat people with powers above his own on nurous occasions.
'Could it be that this guy is his close disciple and is training him personally? Although, even if that were the case, Reagan Cooper wouldn't be able to pull this off... This kid... How talented is he?' He thought in shock and looked at Matt.
A light shone in his eyes at that mont, having found a priceless raw treasure.
A person who had not been discovered by many and was destined to beco an incredible being in the future was what he had before his eyes. That is why he smiled and grabbed him by the shoulders.
"Boy, that's amazing! Tell , tell about your background, who is your family? Who is the Heir you follow?" he asked quickly, trying to get information from Matt to know what to do with him.
"I have no family. I was rescued by the Allen Family a while back, and right now, I'm Miss Alice's subordinate." He answered truthfully, making the Leader even happier than he already was.
'A diamond in the rough who is all alone! This is the best!' he thought.
"If that's so, how about a status in the military? That will increase your value in this world, and the Allen Clan will congratulate you in a good way with great resources. With such achievents, I can get my superiors to grant you a good position in the army; how about it?" he asked excitedly.
His words ca as a surprise to Matt, who wasn't expecting this. But he still nodded.
'Good, good. This is much better. Having status will help eliminate my enemies in a better way.' Matt thought and began to think about the facilities he would receive from having status in the military.
Not only would it increase his status in the eyes of the Allens, but of the Academy as well. What's more, he would receive a Kingdom paycheck.
Even if that tied him down a bit, it was the least. Bindings are not so bad, for in many instances, they exist to protect the weak rather than to prevent them from growing. Growing is tied to his own effort, so as long as he continues to strive, at so point, he will be able to free himself from such ties.
"If the Leader wants it that way, then I will gladly accept it." Matt replied, cheering the man in front of him, who smiled.
"Good, good. Go quietly back with all your team to the Academy; the tests are over." He said, and just then, the noise of people outside was heard as several of this person's subordinates brought those of the investigation and observation team.
Matt then got up to leave.
"Kid, I'm Oliver Jones. If you need any help, you can look up in the capital." Said the Leader before Matt left, and after that, he looked at the investigation team intently. The questioning started soon after.
