Chapter 261: Gossip (Part 2)

His subordinate knew this was bad news and so he reluctantly explained the situation to Commander Weisman.

"Pequino heard that Amalia could not only repairs the artifacts but also improved their attributes, so he went to find her."

"Hmph, since everyone likes going to her so much, from now on, they can all go to her for repairs. No one should come to me anymore, and I won’t help them with their artifacts either," Commander Weisman said smiling coldly.

"Don’t be angry, Commander. She won’t stay in our legion for long time. Once she leaves the Sweet Cherry City Disaster Zone, she will definitely won’t be with us anymore," the subordinate tried to reassure him.

He has heard that the other Legion’s Commanders were also seeking Amalia’s help for repairing their artifact.

Commander Weisman’s decision now might offend others in the future.

"I, Xavi Weisman, am not someone who picks up scraps. Since they’ve decided to have someone else repairing their artifacts, then they shouldn’t come to me anymore. If anyone does come to here again, just tell them that," Commander Weisman said indifferently before returning to his tent.

His sour words quickly spread in the camp, and it was said that the hot-tempered Commander Zionel went directly to Commander Weisman to argue with him.

Xavi Weisman repairing the artifacts for all the soldiers in the legion, and it wasn’t for free.

It was understandable that he couldn’t compete with others, but losing his face in front of everyone because of Commander Zionel’s verbal abuse was too much for him to bear.

When Amalia heard about the incident, she learned that they had already taken their quarrel to General Silva.

Although she knew not all Artificers had such broad minds, there would always be one or two with bad temperaments, she never expected to find someone as narrow-minded as Commander Weisman under General Silva’s command.

"What happened in the end?"

"I don’t know," Kenny Lin wasn’t interested in other people’s affairs, so he didn’t bother to inquire about such matters.

Later, Amalia learned from Fabio Zelaya that General Silva didn’t issue any strong orders to Xavi Weisman.

Since he didn’t intend to repair artifacts for everyone anymore, the high subsidy given to him by the legion every month was cancelled.

Xavi Weisman’s support was suddenly cut off.

Except for those who hadn’t sought Amalia’s help for artifact repairs, everyone else who went to him had to pay according to market prices.

This decision stirred up a hornet’s nest, and several soldiers, including Gustavo Herrera, jointly filed complaints to General Silva.

They were all victims of Xavi Weisman’s faulty repairs, but he, hiding behind his status as both a Commander and an Artificer, refused to compensate them, even for the cost of materials.

Ordinary Artificers wouldn’t accept a repair job if they weren’t confident they could fix the artifact.

But Xavi Weisman was different.

He’s both a Commander and the only Artificer on this mission.

Who would dare to provoke him?

If he refused to repair their artifacts, what could they do?

So, everyone dared not offend him and swallowed their grievances.

Xavi Weisman was summoned again by General Silva, and when he come out, his expression was even more grim than before.

General Silva ordered him to compensate for the losses of those soldiers, and he dared not disobey.

"How did he became a Commander?" Amalia was curious how someone like him could rise through the ranks.

Fabio Zelaya sensed the sarcasm beneath Amalia’s indifferent tone and looked embarrassed.

"Commander Weisman is an Artificer, so it’s easier for him to get promoted than us regular soldiers. He wasn’t like this before."

It can only be said that human hearts are hard to predict, and self-interest can easily lead people astray.

Amalia nodded her head without pressing further.

After several days of rest and reorganization, General Silva’s army set out again.

This time, they focused on training rather than actively seeking out for the Lumina Scale Komodos.

While Lumina Scale Komodos were rare treasures, they couldn’t be obtained just by wishing for them.

It depended on fate.

If strength alone could secure them, it wouldn’t end up in the hands of a wild cultivator.

However, although the main goal of the army had changed, privately, General Silva still sent people to locate that wild cultivator.

The Lumina Scale Komodos could fall into anyone else’s hands, but they couldn’t fall into the hands of the Astral Demoniaco Sect or the Yoder family.

At this time, the news about Amalia obtaining the Lumina Scale Komodo had already spread, thanks to Adrian Rodriguez.

He indeed didn’t mention Kenny Lin, not because he was reluctant to, but because of Kenny Lin’s background - with the Lin family, the military, and Heavenly Path University behind him, no one could touch him.

On the contrary, Amalia, whose abandoned by both her maternal and paternal family, was the best choice.

Firstly, it could indirectly pressure Kenny Lin.

Since he was willing to expose the truth about getting the Lumina Scale Komodo in front of Amalia, it might not be impossible for him to step forward again for her sake.

Secondly, it was also due to Adrian Rodriguez’s selfish motives.

He wanted to force Kenny Lin to choose between Amalia and the Lumina Scale Komodo.

The former represented love, while the latter represented the family.

Regardless of which one he chose, it would ultimately ruin their relationship, thus achieving Adrian Rodriguez’s goal.

"Amalia is a student at Heavenly Path University. She has obtained the Lumina Scale Komodo, and Heavenly Path University will surely protect her because she alone cannot eat the entire Essence Unity Crystal Vein by herself."

"True, but I heard she has a relationship with Kenny Lin. If the Lin family intervenes, what should we do?"

"So we must unite our families even more. Your Yoder family must be even less eager than us to let the Essence Unity Crystal Vein fall into the hands of Heavenly Path University and the Lin family, right?"

"How can we be sure that your sources of information are accurate?"

Simon Yoder’s caution was reasonable.

The Rodriguez family’s sudden approach to him and requesting cooperation with them.

They also claiming to know who possesses the Lumina Scale Komodo, which raised his suspicions.

They had searched for half a month without success, so how did the Rodriguez family know it?

"Naturally, I saw it with my own eyes. What reason do I have to deceive you?" Adrian Rodriguez immediately stood up.

She never liked other peoples questioning her, but given the gravity of the situation, she choose to restrained herself this time.
