Chapter 928 - Reporting

By no means, Jason was a fan of being overwhelmed by large forces of mighty powerhouses.

However, what he hated the most was not knowing what kind of situation they were navigating towards.

Unfortunately, this was exactly what was happening at the moment. Jason couldn't tell whether his assumption about the Soul Monarch and Guards' shapeshifting ability was utter nonsense or not.

Thus, he felt like contemplating as he added,

"We should tell the City Lord first…he should, at least, know that the rumor about shapeshifting might not be entirely groundless and that there might even be one of them in Liun…I just hope he won't decide to do something hastily!"

That being said, Jason and Jennifer left the mansion hall without accepting any kind of mission.

Keeping an eye out for the City Lord, they approached the buildings of the government, where Jason quickly found who he was looking for.

With the use of his Emperor Eyes this was not difficult after all.

Only a few minutes later, they passed through the security checks of the governmental district as they stood in front of a seemingly ordinary house.

The houses in Liun looked quite similar to those he had seen in the cities on Argos, which was why Jason felt quite calm within the city.

Yet, he couldn't help but wonder what was going to happen as he entered the building, followed by the City Lord's office.

Before that, they had to speak to the City Lord's secretary but that was not much of a problem.

In fact, the secretary didn't even ask him to provide his credentials to verify that he was, in fact, Jason.

Rather, he was just let through as if it was perfectly normal for him to be able to enter the City Lord's office.

Jason couldn't help but feel a little bit dumbfounded at this, but instead of wondering about the thought of something useless, Jason quickly stated the reason for his arrival.

"Hello, City Lord! I have something important to report!"

Greeting the City Lord politely before saying anything, Jason waited for him to reply. Meanwhile, the City Lord looked a little bit drained and exhausted.

He just nodded his head and indicated him to go ahead. Yet, when he started listening to the things Jason had to say, his ears perked up.

When Jason finished what he had planned to say, the City Lord could only sigh in frustration, making a mental note that added even more issues for him to solve.

"I planned to send out a group of people to destroy the enlarged portal, but with what you just said, I guess I have to inform my higher-ups about that… they will have to decide what to do…after all, the given situation might threaten the entire race if it continues to worsen!"

The appearance and involvement of the Kanian race was already more than enough to be considered troublesome. But, after Jason had explained what had happened to him followed by the thoughts he had in mind, the entire situation changed quite a bit.

In fact, everything got much worse for the City Lord because there were more and more problems that seemed to pop up in Liun.

To be precise, the city might have had an unnoticed breach and infiltrated by existences that could take down the entire city if they wanted to.

Even if one were to try keeping their calm, this was close to impossible, if one were to be honest to oneself.

As such, the City Lord was quite astonished about the calm demeanor of Jason.

It was unexpected to see a young man act that calmly in the face of death.

Yet, having heard a lot about Jason, he felt that Jason carried himself quite well and demeanor was something that suited him well.

At least, that was what the City Lord thought, only to avert his attention to the more important task.

Taking out a messenger crystal, he quickly transferred Soul force into it before a three-dimensional screen manifested in front of him.

Moments later someone materialized within the screen, looking at the City Lord with a contemplating expression.

"What is wrong, little one? Are you not even able to take care of a small city?"

It was unknown whether this was supposed to be a taunt or a serious question. But the City Lord's behavior or body language didn't change at all.

As such, Jason just continued to watch.

He hadn't been asked to leave, and could thus listen to the words of the City Lord by standing aside.

"As reported earlier, the Kianan race was able to infiltrate the Ninad beast realm. However, we have received the latest piece of news! It's very likely for the ring of 13 traitors to be able to shapeshift between their human form and that of a wandering soul!

In fact, we suspect that one Guard of the Soul Monarch might be residing in Liun!

Master, you can tell that the Soul Monarch enlarged the portal to the Ninad beast realm, right? And he had to fortify it too. That means he used lots of Soa crystals, and we would have to counterattack by destroying the portal, if possible.

Yet, given the circumstances, we won't even be able to know if everyone by our side is a friend or foe!"

Relaying the information without any emotion, the City Lord felt rather cold and distant.

Nevertheless, his words were sharp and a bit blunt, but, on point.

Thus, the man, who was the City Lord's master, could only look at his disciple, staying silent for a while before he nodded his head.

"Even I have heard rumors about the presumed shapeshifting ability. But, we never found any clues about it. You must have gotten a hang of something, otherwise, you wouldn't have messaged me."

Both the parties spoke to each other in a dry and formal tone, and Jason began to doubt whether they were truly in a master-disciple relationship.

Yet, it was not exactly something he was supposed to bother about.

It was their decision and certainly not something he would intervene in.

In the end, there was not really something for him to do, to begin with.

At least, that was what he presumed, only for the City Lord to pull him by his side as he whispered,

"Tell him everything you said to me, don't think too much, and state everything you recall clearly. You can even add you own comprehension!"

The way in which the CIty Lord spoke to him was completely different from how he spoke to his master.

Thus, even the City Lord's master couldn't help but raise his right eyebrow as he looked at Jason.

It was crystal clear that Jason was not an ordinary being because of his presence, and even more so, because of the deactivated Stigma that covered a quarter of his face was quite unique.

Yet, instead of commenting, he patiently waited for Jason to speak.

Unfortunately, the information Jason shared was not really convincing as the old man asked him,

"So, you want me to believe that the traitors of our race can shapeshift because someone warned you about the deaths of several in a mission that had just been released to the public?

This might as well be a premonition of a powerhouse. It's not like he cannot have bound a wandering soul to him that can foresee the future.

Even if that man were to be a shapeshifter, why the hell should he warn you about the mission? Revealing his identity might as well guarantee failure of their plan, after all!

Thus, you would be even more suspicious than before, if there were to be a shapeshifter.

If you tell me that your gut feeling told you that they're shapeshifters, you should know that there is no way for me to trust a stranger, sorry!"
