Chapter 642 - The Awaited Summit

Drip, drip…

The water drops quietly fell into the small underground lake with soft splashes rhythmically like steady beats.

Suddenly, a spatial rift opened in the Teleportation Array before people began stepping out into the underground s.p.a.ce one after another.

"Where are we?"

Brian Bradford, Baron Grant, and the ex-disciples studied the unfamiliar surroundings with curious gazes before the last of Leon"s group arrived.

"This is the water distillation area in the underground mines directly beneath the Darkmoon Tribe, father," Leon explained.

"I see…" Brian Bradford nodded.

Rumble…

Shortly after, a series of hasty footsteps were heard before a large group of Great Warriors led by Chief Valencia arrived.

Their vigorous auras and sudden appearance immediately made Brian Bradford and others feel slightly apprehensive and intimidated.

However, Leon simply glanced back at the huge lineup and smiled, "Quite the warm welcoming you have there, Chief Valencia."

"You"ve grown much stronger than the last time I saw you, Leonhardt."

Chief Valencia"s eyes immediately flickered in realization.

She could not tell how strong Leonhardt had become precisely, but she was confident that he had become much stronger due to her gut feeling and the vibe emanated off the person.

"If you were to arrive any later, we would have gone to fetch you," Chief Valencia chuckled slightly before nodding, "Welcome back."

"I can definitely see that…"

Leon smiled wryly while glancing at the lineup of Great Warriors before said, "Nevertheless, I do believe that I am still early according to the appointed time of the summit, no?"

"That, you are," Chief Valencia chuckled slightly before saying with a shake of her head, "However, the other tribal chiefs aren"t exactly patient as we would hope them to be. You see, they been hounding this Chief to commence the summit since they arrived."

"Not surprising, considering the bombsh.e.l.l of a news you dropped on them. I suppose the tribal chiefs of the alliance must be quite anxious to find out the details from you, Chief Valencia."

Leon smiled with a calm and confident look.

Seeing him like this, Chief Valencia began to feel doubtful in her heart.

To make casual remarks at the tribal chiefs, who were all Battle Masters with 500-thousand jin and above, without feeling the slightest bit of concern…

Has Leonhardt already reached their level?! Has he really reached such heights within such a short time?!

Upon arriving at this thought, Chief Valencia was shaken.

Nevertheless, she retained an outward calm look and said, "Since you"ve finally come. Let us begin the summit immediately."

"Alright." Leon nodded.

"As for these people…"

Chief Valencia s.h.i.+fted her gaze to the people that arrived with Leonhardt before she cannot help take second glances at the vengeful spirit.

"Hm? Something is different about this spirit…" Chief Valencia noticed.

"They are ex-disciples of the Illusory b.u.t.terfly Sect. I will have to trouble Chief Valencia to find someone to send them to meet the others in the palace."

"That can be done." Chief Valencia nodded before turning to Aria, who stood beside Leon with Duna and Darlene, and asked, and asked, "And her?"

"My wife, Aria," Leon stated.

Aria"s heart immediately fluttered.

"Oh?"

At the same time, Chief Valencia raised an eyebrow and studied Aria seriously.

"To be the wife of Leonhardt, there must be something extraordinary about you. Well met, Miss Aria. I am the chief of this Darkmoon Tribe, Valencia."

"Likewise, Chief Valencia."

Aria nodded back with a bow of courtesy.

Shortly after, Chief Valencia furrowed her brows with something to say but was unsure how to say it without offending Leonhardt.

Nevertheless, Leon quickly understood and said, "Darlene, you can bring Aria back to the courtyard and settle down first, and also check on your sisters."

"As you wish, my Lord."

Darlene complied obediently.

"Sisters? I haven"t heard anything about this. Don"t tell me Leon still has other women on this side?" Aria"s eyes flickered with such thoughts at the same time.

Nevertheless, she kept her silence and agreed to follow Darlene back to the so-called courtyard—of course, so she could investigate if Leon was keeping other women in his love nest.

Shortly after, Leon added, "As for Duna, you can also follow—"

"I"m coming with you," Duna stated firmly.

Her determined tone left no room for negotiation, causing Leon to smile wryly and said, "Alright, Duna will come with me."

"That won"t be a problem, right?" Leon asked.

"No problem." Chief Valencia quickly said.

If someone as powerful as Duna was not qualified to attend the meeting, then no one is qualified—not even the tribal chiefs of the alliance.

She had not forgotten who brought them victory in the last battle against the Bone Calamity.

"Alright. Sabertooth, you take these men to meet Helen. The rest of you can return—oh, I will trouble some of you to inform the other chiefs to meet me in the Stonehenge within half an hour. We will hold the summit there."

"Yes, chief!"

Sabertooth and the rest of the Great Warriors answered after Chief Valencia issued her orders.

"Father, you can go meet mother and Mia first. I have to attend an important meeting with Chief Valencia. We meet again later," Leon spoke to Brian Bradford.

"Alright, son," Brian Bradford nodded and patted him on both shoulders, "Don"t worry about me and just do what you need to do."

"Un!" Leon nodded.

The crowd quickly left the water distillation area and returned to the surface before going dispersing in separate directions with their own tasks.

Fifteen minutes later, Leon and Chief Valencia were seated at the round table of stone at the Stonehenge"s center, which was newly built by the edge of the plateau, as they awaited the other tribal chiefs" arrival.

Fallen Star Tribe"s tribal chief, Chief Brightstar, was the first to arrive with two Extremity-rank Great Warriors accompanying him.

Shortly after, Cold Raven Tribe"s tribal chief, Chief Nightraven, arrived with one Extremity-rank Great Warrior and one Early-rank Battle Master.

Last but not least, the newly instated tribal chief of the Crimsonfog Tribe, Chief Blacktooth, arrived with the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman.

Chief Blacktooth immediately singled Leon out from the group due to his youthful appearance with a displeased expression.

"This is the person we were waiting for?" Chief Blacktooth asked grudgingly.
