Born Sacred-Chapter 94: Easton

One day later.

Twenty miles outside Sterling City, Fallen Phoenix Mountain Range.

A jade portal entwined with dense demonic energy stood at the mountainside.

At this time, quite a few people had gathered in front of this instance portal.

"Mr.Easton."

"Hall Master Easton."

"Easton."

A tall Man, leading over twenty subordinates, walked quickly. People they met along the way greeted him warmly.

"Who is this person? What a grand air?"

Of course, there were also people who didn’t recognize him.

"You’re not from around here, so it’s normal that you don’t know him."

The person who was asked explained, "His name is Easton, the president of the Sterling Association. Before the National Awakening, he was the master of a local martial arts hall. Afterward, he awakened an SSS-Level Talent and soared to prominence.

He didn’t join our Supernatural Management Bureau but instead founded the Sterling Association, gathering many high-talent Awakeners, slaying otherworldly monsters, and maintaining the stability of Sterling City. In this region, the Sterling Association’s strength is far above that of the Supernatural Management Bureau."

"An SSS-grade Talent Awakener!"

Around them, there were sounds of gasps, and the gazes directed at Easton were filled with shock.

This was the highest level of talent.

There were no more than ten such people in the entire Starfall Country, and they hadn’t expected to encounter one here.

As for Easton founding the Sterling Association and suppressing the Supernatural Management Bureau, the people present weren’t surprised.

Although within Starfall Country, the Supernatural Management Bureau, backed by the government, was absolutely number one in terms of both strength and numbers, and the branches in some important cities were extremely powerful, capable of suppressing any dissent.

However, looking at the entire country, that wasn’t necessarily the case.

Not all high-talent Awakeners were willing to join the Supernatural Management Bureau.

Perhaps they had a prejudice against official organizations, or they disliked being restrained, or they had their own ambitions. These high-talent Awakeners who didn’t join the Supernatural Management Bureau either acted alone or established Awakener organizations, competing with the local Supernatural Management Bureau.

The Supernatural Management Bureau adopted a conciliatory policy towards these Awakeners and civilian organizations, as long as they registered and abided by the law.

Easton was unwilling to be restrained and didn’t join the Supernatural Management Bureau. He founded the Sterling Association with a group of like-minded Awakeners, and their main responsibility was to maintain the safety and stability of Sterling City.

Although their reputation wasn’t widely known outside, they were extremely famous in this region.

This time, the Sterling Association was duty-bound to attack the Disaster Instance that appeared in the Fallen Phoenix Mountain Range, and Easton also brought over twenty of his strongest subordinates to the scene.

"Come, Easton, let me introduce you."

Silas, the captain of the Supernatural Management Bureau, Sterling Branch, warmly pulled Easton and introduced the people present to him.

"This is Griffin, the captain of the Camden City Management Branch." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"This is..."

Because of the Sterling Association’s formidable strength, the Sterling Branch was relatively weak, and Silas only brought seven people.

Apart from the Sterling Branch and the Sterling Association, all the people present were from the Supernatural Management Bureaus and Awakener organizations of nearby cities.

The Fallen Phoenix Mountain Range spans several cities. When otherworldly monsters descend and swarm out of the spatial rift, they will inevitably threaten the safety of the surrounding cities.

The descent location cannot be changed, but the Disaster Instance can be cleared in advance to reduce future threats.

Therefore, as soon as the Supernatural Management Bureau took the lead, the Awakener organizations from the surrounding areas all came.

"As far as I know, the optimal number of people to attack a Disaster Instance is one hundred."

Easton’s somewhat sharp gaze swept over everyone. "But I’ve only seen ninety-nine people along the way."

"Where is the remaining person?"

As soon as Easton said this, the somewhat harmonious atmosphere immediately froze.

"Ah, well, Easton, you might not know this, the situation with the last person is a bit special..." Silas quickly explained.

However, before he could finish, he was interrupted.

"No matter how special, can they be more special than my master? Why should so many of us wait for just one person?" Among the people Easton brought, a burly man spoke with a face full of indignation.

"That’s right, that’s right, President Easton is an SSS-Level Talent Awakener."

"They have no sense of time at all, what kind of quality is that?"

The people from the Sterling Association spoke up one after another, as if making Easton and the others wait was a great grievance.

"Alright," Easton raised his hand to stop the clamor from his subordinates, looked at the heads of the three branch offices, and expressed dissatisfaction: "Team Leader Silas, Team Leader Griffin, Team Leader Carter, actually, I don’t care whether there are ninety-nine or one hundred people entering the instance, but what disappoints me is that from beginning to end, I only see the laxity, chaos, and irresponsibility in your actions."

"When you notified us, you said it was a hundred-person operation, but now there are only ninety-nine people. That’s one thing, but the key is the selection of team members, which is very casual. There are too few people who can take damage in melee combat, and too many people for ranged output."

"With all due respect, this kind of team composition, which can be called a rabble, will be instantly overwhelmed by the terrifying monster tide within the Disaster Instance. Others won’t even last a minute to retreat."

"I’m very sorry, but I must be responsible for the lives of my apprentice and friends, because people truly die in the Disaster Instance. If the Supernatural Management Bureau is just looking for cannon fodder, intending to use our lives to reduce the number of monsters, then you have the wrong idea."

Upon hearing this, the people from the various Awakener organizations had all had different kind of expressions.
