Chapter 1821. Conquering the Challenges

"By the way, aren't you supposed to meet our leaders today?" Gruff asked.

"My royal advisor is handling the details. They are in good hands," Jack replied.

"Some king you are," Gruff responded.

Jack could only smile wryly. He had been criticized with the same words by two different men. But in his defense, he never wished to be a king.

"So, what do you want to do here that is more important than the war meeting with faction leaders?" Gruff asked.

"Come on, man. Don't say it like that," Jack said. "I'm also doing my part, which is getting as strong as I possibly can. I have heard the story about the army's first clash with the devils. With our current power, we won't stand a chance. The devils are too strong, especially Satan. I need to be strong enough to be able to fight them."
