Chapter 238: Triggered a quest?
Ethan hadn’t expected this at all—he was once again being targeted by the Sea King from the Tidesworn faction. Someone must’ve leaked information about Kyros. But who?
He thought for a moment, and immediately, the Crimsonstar Kingdom came to mind.
Other than them, who else would pull something like this?
Just then, Corvan, who had been quietly watching Ethan’s expression, suddenly gritted his teeth and spoke up.
"They say it was Crimsonstar Kingdom who reported it to Lord Maelthorak."
He paused, then continued, "Lord Maelthorak was seriously wounded tens of thousands of years ago by Nomarg, the Thunder King from the Tower faction. His Primordial Force as a Crimson Ultimate hero was damaged and has never fully recovered. These days, he can barely use thirty or forty percent of his original strength."
"Lord Maelthorak comes from the Legendary Units Kirin bloodline. If he could get his hands on a Crimson Ultimate Hero Kirin egg—one of his own kind—he could completely restore his Primordial Force and return to full power..."
Corvan’s tone shifted slightly as he added, "But stealing a Crimson Ultimate Hero’s Primordial Force is a huge taboo among all the major factions. It’s absolutely forbidden. Especially stealing from your own bloodline—if you get caught, the consequences are catastrophic. Even someone like Lord Maelthorak wouldn’t dare make a big scene about it. He can only move in secret..."
Ethan stayed silent for a long moment after hearing that. Then he suddenly turned to Corvan, a sly smile playing on his lips.
"Sounds like you’re not just some random guy. Otherwise, how would you know all this?"
Corvan froze for a second, then gave a bitter laugh.
