Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

If Miles was chosen by the Xiao Clan, it meant that Zachary would have no chance to join them, which would ruin Logan's plans. He couldn't let that happen, or it would be a huge problem for him too.

At that moment, the audience burst into an uproar, as they loudly discussed among themselves. No one expected Miles to take the initiative to join the Xiao Clan. On a closer look, it was reasonable for him to join them since the Xiao Clan was the second strongest force in the Devil Kingdom, second only to the Xuanyuan Clan. The Xuanyuan Clan didn't send any representatives for this meeting, which meant that they had given up this opportunity. Therefore, for Miles, the Xiao Clan was his best choice.

"So Miles intends to join our clan. It's a great honor for us." Jaxon, who was sitting upright, was surprised to hear Miles' decision, but he soon put on a proud smile. He didn't expect Miles to favor his clan, and he didn't expect him to join without even raising any requirements. But this unexpected situation put him in a dilemma. If he refused Miles, who had offered to join voluntarily, they would be in hot water. But if he didn't reject him, he would need to give up Zachary, and the Phoenix Pavilion would recruit Zachary effortlessly.

Jaxon turned over his options in his mind. Miles was a weapon refiner of Imperial Level with a bright future, and Zachary was a promising newcomer with incredible potential. Any clan head would be helpless in the face of this conundrum, even one as good as Jaxon.

"The Xiao Clan is lucky to have won Miles' favor, but that's a good thing for us. With the Xiao Clan excluded from his choices, Harley will surely join us." On the surface, Holy Phoenix was unhappy with Miles' choice, because technically, he was rejecting them. But at the same time, she couldn't help but feel relieved. She had to admit that Miles was a man of great talent, with rich experience in all aspects, but Phoenix Pavilion was not short of talents like him. They needed Zachary, who was endowed by nature with unusual talent and intelligence.

y protested as she realized that her advantage had fallen by the wayside. In this situation, it was Jaxon who had the most advantage.

"Miles has made a great contribution to Shura College these years, and he is determined to join the Xiao Clan. As the dean of the college, I have to support him. Holy Phoenix, aren't you confident that Harley would choose you?" Marvin refuted. His eyebrow quirked up critically as if it was asking Holy Phoenix to reconsider before she challenged him again.

Holy Phoenix's face fell when Marvin refused to budge. Unfortunately, she couldn't keep on protesting, as the others would say that she was being jealous. Anyway, she was the leader of the Phoenix Pavilion, so she kept her peace gracefully.

"Everyone, if you have no other objections, I'll ask Harley to come out." The crowd fell silent at once.

He had expected this though. Since the Xiao Clan and the Phoenix Pavilion had kept silent, no other clans and sects present would raise objections, even if they were displeased. After all, Shura College was a force that surpassed all the clans and sects in the Devil Kingdom. No one would be willing to offend them.

"It seems that Harley hasn't arrived yet..." Tracy murmured, as she looked around to find Zachary.

But before she could finish her words, Zachary suddenly flew up from a corner and landed beside her. "I'm here!"
