The Broken Halo Chapter 289

Tibat, Balafar, and Agramormos instantly guessed what Akaza’s goal was.

He wanted the three of them to attack the First Years so that Simon would be overwhelmed with their numbers and combined might.

Even if he decided to use the Iron Fangs to try and protect his classmates, he’d fail because the Iron Fangs would be overpowered due to the difference in numbers.

And even if Akaza joined the fight, the three of them could still stop Akaza if they fought together.

Fighting Akaza alone? They would lose.

But three of them fighting Akaza together? They would survive.

However, despite their thoughts, it did not mean that they believed Akaza.

“Hmm.” Tibat hummed with a thoughtful expression behind her mask.

“What you said is right. If he fails in protecting his classmates, the academy will be able to interfere and stop him. They might even punish him.”

Akaza nodded. “Exactly.”

Tibat looked at him with slightly narrowed eyes filled with curiosity and suspicion.

“I’m curious… What exactly was your master’s plan to win this bet? For him to be so confident and arrogant, he must have had a plan.”

Akaza looked at her, then he released a frustrated sigh.

“He planned on using the Iron Fangs to attack his classmates.”

Tibat narrowed her eyes.

“But isn’t that too obvious? Everybody would expect that and they might be prepared for it.”

Akaza nonchalantly shrugged.

“Yeah, but it’s not against the rules.”

“And let me guess, he planned on making you, his dog, do all the dirty work right? He’ll make you face those four classmates of his, then he’ll swoop in and ’protect’ them… Right?”

Akaza nonchalantly shrugged. “I guess you’re right.”

Balafar instantly scoffed. “What a fool. A slave would always be a slave.”

“In a way, he’s quite smart. Since the rules don’t forbid him from doing that, he can do it to win.” Agramormos deep and rough voice reverberated across the room.

Akaza remained silent, and his gaze was fixed on the silent Tibat.

He knew that if he could convince Tibat, the rest would follow.

Not because Tibat was the strongest or had the strongest gang, but because she was the most cautious out of the three of them.

If she found no problems in everything he said, Balafar and Agramormos would instinctively follow.

After a few seconds of silence from Tibat, she spoke.

“What you’ve said has… piqued my interest, and definitely theirs too…but you’ve still not given us any assurance that this is all not a plan to trick us and stab us in the back.”

“Even if it’s not possible for the Iron Fangs to defeat the three of us combined together, you guys can still cause us considerable harm and losses.”

“How do we trust you?”

Akaza looked down with a slight furrow of his brows, then he looked at Tibat with a flicker in his eyes.

“What do you suggest I do then?”

Balafar scoffed. “What can you do? You’re just a slave, and the true leader of the Iron Fangs is your dog slave master…feels weird saying that honestly.”

Akaza looked at Balafar with an indifferent gaze.

“Even if he’s the leader now, the Iron Fangs listen to me and respect me. They don’t like him. I have authority and power in the Iron Fangs.”

Balafar scoffed again. “Authority and power my ass.”

Agramormos chuckled, his deep and rough voice making his chuckle to sound extremely weird and horrifying.

Akaza reeled in his anger and killing intent, then he shifted his gaze to Tibat.

“What do you suggest I do… to gain your trust?”

Tibat remained silent, and her eyes flickered with a myriad of thoughts.

Seven seconds later, she spoke.

“You need to keep all the members of the Iron Fangs away from the dormitory when we attack tomorrow. We’ll have people watching you and the Iron Fangs.”

To Agramormos, Balafar, and Tibat’s surprise, Akaza shook his head.

“That won’t do. You’ll have to attack the First Years today, after all their classes.”

The trio frowned behind their masks.

“Why today?” Tibat asked.

“Because the bastard plans on making the Iron Fangs to attack his classmates this night, in their dormitories.”

The eyes of the trio widened in surprise.

“What?”

“So soon?”

Balafar and Tibat exclaimed at the same time, but Tibat was silent for a moment.

“Why is he attacking them so soon? He has three days to make a better plan or to think of something better.” She asked.

Akaza gave a bitter smile behind his mask.

“Because his classmates and the academy would also have more time to think of ways to counter him. The earlier he strikes, the more unexpected it’ll be, and the lower the variables.”

Tibat and the others understood, but Akaza was not done.

“I have a suggestion by the way.”

The trio looked at Akaza with narrowed eyes.

“What suggestion?” Tribat asked.

Akaza inhaled and exhaled softly.

“I can make all the members of the Iron Fangs to stay in one location in the academy if you choose to attack the First Years today.”

“And instead of putting only a small number of your people to watch us, place a lot more so that if anything happens or if any member of the Iron Fangs tries to leave, you can kill them.”

“It’ll also ensure the safety of your members.”

Tibat, Balafar, and Agramormos all furrowed their brows in contemplation when they heard Akaza’s suggestion.

But Akaza wasn’t done.

“And if you’re worried about an ambush from me or the bastard, I have thought of a perfect location for you.”

“Where?” Tibat asked with a curious tone.

“Outside the entrance of the academy. On the causeway.”

The eyes of Tibat, Balafar, and Agramormos instantly widened.

“You’re insane. You want us to have a battle so close to the academy entrance?” Balafar instantly responded with a cold tone.

Akaza indifferently nodded. “Yes.”

“The causeway that leads to the academy is not part of the academy, so you won’t be breaking any rules if you fight there.”

“And don’t forget, the causeway is wide and open. There’s no place for an ambush. I’ll be far away with the Iron Fangs, while you stand outside the academy entrance with your people and stop the First Years from leaving the academy.”

“You’ll extort them, and they’ll have no choice but to fight you or to just give you their merits. After all, the academy’s entrance is also the academy’s only exit.”
