Chapter 488 Change Of Plan

All eyes were fixed on Zachary as he began to leave the arena. In a remote corner of the arena, Logan stood with his hands on his back and his eyes focused on the latter.

"This man never fails to surprise me. I suspect that he only pretended to reach the Imperial Level at this critical time. Did he keep this power under the radar in order to qualify for the King Level contest? Why would he join such a meaningless competition if he's been a long-time disciple at the Imperial Level? Does he know something that we don't?" Logan uttered to himself, going over the details with a serious look on his face.

Suddenly, a delicate figure appeared beside him. It was Lilian.

With a look of displeasure on her face, she said, "He keeps messing up our plans over and over! He's getting on my nerves! Can I kill him now?"

"No, it's too late for that. If I wanted him dead, I would've killed him long before. But you're right, he's a danger to our plan. If only I had known earlier, I would've taken action instead of allowing him to fight in the battle of the strength contest. Who would've thought that he could hide the Imperial Level strength so well without anyone noticing? What's more, he's defeated this recent decade's most outstanding disciple of the Ghost Clan. It seems as though it's the will of Heaven," Logan sighed.

"What do we do now? We've already lost both the weapon refining contest and the strength contest. It'll be no easy feat getting our men into the Xiao Clan now," Lillian expressed with a frown on her face.

"Yes, there might've been a change of plan. But that doesn't mean it's a bad thing. In fact, I've got another plan figured out that will allow me to recruit a genius who'll help us make sure our plan won't fall through this time," Logan revealed, confident in his newly found wisdom.

"Do you plan on recruiting him to the Moon Shadow? That'll be quite difficult. Because he won the first place in both the weapon refining contest and the strength contest, all the Devil Kingdom clans and sects will want to recruit him. Why would he want to join the Moon Shadow if a bright future like that awaits him? We are, after all, a

"That's right," Rebecca agreed with a nod. "After this battle, Harley will surely become famous not just in the Devil Kingdom but in other places as well." She was aware that the King Level contest was the highest level competition of the Shura College. And it was uneasy to win in it. So after the news spread, Zachary would be widely known, which made other colleges jealous.

"Congratulations!" said Scott sincerely.

Other disciples of King Level also congratulated Zachary in succession.

But Alger muttered unhappily, "What's the big deal? I think he is just lucky. If he hadn't broken through to the Imperial Level suddenly at the critical moment, he would have lost the battle!"

Although everyone had heard what he said, no one paid attention to him because they knew that he was green with envy.

Just then, Pollard and his sister also showed up.

"Buddy, you have done a good job! I'm so proud of you! Ha-ha!" Pollard praised Zachary in public, ignoring his own identity.

"I'm flattered. If I failed, I'd be thrown out of the Shura College," Zachary said jokingly.

"Congratulations!" Polly congratulated Zachary as well, but her tone was weirdly a bit off. Perhaps it was because she'd been kept in the dark for so long and it made her uncomfortable. Because of their brief sexual relationship, she wanted to distance herself from Zachary. But she hesitated, knowing that she couldn't avoid him any longer.
