Startled by Glutton's words, Howard's heart leapt. He looked around, but couldn't see Glutton anywhere.
"Tsk, tsk, kid, you don't need to look for me. Just prepare to take possession of the Starry River Map!"
The voice by his ear startled Howard even more. How could Glutton speak to him so precisely in the midst of the crowd?
Furthermore, Howard was panicking. Even if the level 70 awakened were injured by Glutton, the moment Howard grabbed the Starry River Map, their desperate counterattacks would be more than he could bear. He could only hold out for so long. Once they regained some strength, Howard would be no match for them.
"Don't worry, we won't put you in danger. Just take the Starry River Map and get away from here. Then we'll have a chance to step in. Otherwise, acting now might provoke dissatisfaction among the major powers."
"Ah, don't be misled by the Alliance's splendor. It's tough to maintain the balance between the various powers behind the scenes!"
