Within an instant, Austin, who was still checking the preparation in midair of the Trinary Star City, detected dozens of people
speedily flying towards him.
The small team was led by an old man dressed like a Taoist priest. He was the former top leader of the Trinary Star City, who was
known as a deserter in when the battle between the human and demon race was in a critical moment--with the former about to
lose.
Austin, having carefully examined the other people behind the old man, could not help but be taken aback.
Behind the geezer were Elder Jason from the Thunder Sect and a few other elders from several sects of the Heavenly Dragon Holy
Kingdom, such as the Sky Sect and the Magic Hand Sect.
Those people, just like the old man, had quietly escaped from the fierce battle just now.
To Austin's surprise, they didn't feel ashamed of their desertion and even had the nerve to return to the Trinary Star City.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
At the exact moment, Clark, Brandon, and the seven warriors at the Primal Holy Realm, who had detected the elders’ arrival,
immediately flew beside Austin at an extremely fast speed. They were definitely worried about Austin's safety.
The old man, who dressed like a Taoist priest, was called Collin. His cultivation based was at the medium stage of Holy Realm, so
he was relatively a powerful opponent.
The moment Collin arrived, he saw Austin suspended in midair as if he was the top leader who was examining everything below
him. Colin was utterly surprised, and his face changed slightly while his eyes remained intensely fixated on Austin.
Soon, however, he becparticularly enthusiastic about Austin. As a sophisticated man, Collin had sized up the situation and
knew that it was not wise to fight the latter.
"Ha-ha, | believe, you're the Austin I've heard of so many times.
As a young man, you are amazing and outstanding at fighting!
I've heard that you have also contributed to today's battle.
Well done, young man! | greatly appreciate such young people with vigor and drive.
As the top leader of this Trinary Star City, | have always been very fair in giving rewards and punishments
Austin, the contribution you made today will be personally recorded by me.
Don't worry. I'll reward you accordingly."
Collin spoke clearly like a master who was praising his apprentice.

Hearing Collin spoke in a superior tone, Austin smiled lightly and said nothing.
He becquite aware of the reason why Collin suddenly cback to the Trinary Star City.
Collin had the intention to continue being the leader of the city, even though he was disqualified after his desertion from the last
war.
After praising Austin, Collin saw that the former had a smug smile on his face without saying anything.
A hint of irritation crept on his insides as his eyes faintly becfierce and sharp if one observed them carefully.
Yet, his face showcased the opposite--a calm and collected facade.
Even though he had escaped before, he was still quite clear about everything taking place in the Trinary Star City.
He knew that Austin currently had a significant influence among the warriors of the city, so he had no intention of having a head-
on clash with him.
His top priority was to take back his leadership as the suprleader of the Trinary Star City. And once he regained that position,
he would put Austin in his right place.
"Well, it's been a hard day for all of you. | know you're all exhausted.
Take a good rest and get refreshed. After that, we'll discuss the fight against the demon race," Collin instructed as if he was still
their leader.
He then ignored Austin and led his men directly in the direction of the mansion for the castellan--the city's top leader.
At that point, the news of Colin's return had spread all over the city. Subsequently, all the human warriors fixed their eyes on Collin
and Austin, obviously waiting for something spectacular to take place.
Meanwhile, Austin still remained silent, with his hands on his back and his face looking nonchalant.
He was actually waiting for the warriors of the Trinary Star City to clearly state their stand.
Because he was forced to be the top leader of the Trinary Star City under the collective request of its warriors, the warriors could
not swim in two rivers now that Collin was back.
Clark was actually the first warrior who put forward such a proposal.
Now, Colin, the former leader, was back to drive Austin out of the position.
Austin was curiously waiting for the warriors to make a choice between him and Collin.
If they decided to have Colin continue as their leader, then Austin would naturally and immediately get out of the city in a huff.
Right at the moment, Clark suddenly stood out and said, "Eh-hem, Colin, please don't leave. | have something to say."
Finally, Clark couldn't keep his silence and knew he had to declare his stand.
"Hmmm, yes.
What can | do for you, Clark?"
Collin stopped moving forward, turned around, and pretended to be very stunned.
Yet, he was also casting a threatening look at Clark, hoping to deter him as he knew what the latter was going to say.
"Colin, at the unanimous request of all of us in the Trinary Star City today, Austin has been appointed as the top leader of our city.
In other words, Colin, you are no longer the leader of this Trinary Star City."
Clark's voice was direct and bold, as though he did not see Colin's threatening eyes.
"What?
Clark, what are you talking about?!
My identity, as the leader of the Trinary Star City, has long been appointed by the Southern Alliances Army. This city, as their
station, is guided by their headquarters.
What makes you think you have the right to ask an outsider to take charge of our city?
This is complete bullshit!
If you really think I'm not suitable to be the leader, you can report to the headquarters ask them to nullify my title.
Only then can you let the headquarters appoint Austin as the new leader.
But until then, | am still the legal and official leader of this Trinary Star City.
All right! All of you stop messing around now!
Just leave!"
Colin snapped and flew into a rage.
"Colin, this is the decision made by all the warriors of our Trinary Star City, and it is also our heartfelt wish.
Please respect our unanimous decision and don't put us in a dilemma," Clark said firmly as he gritted his teeth.
He was the first one to propose Austin as their new leader, and he still believed that he made the right decision.
"To every warrior present here, let's vote to determine who should be the leader of our Trinary Star City leader, Colin or Austin."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmClark turned around to the crowd and proposed loudly. He knew he had to seek more support to make Collin back off.
Hearing Clark's proposal, the crowd was lost in silence as they needed stto figure out their choice.
About four or five seconds later, the crowd had finally decided.
"We vote for Austin as our leader!"
the crowd cried out in unison, looking one body and one united group.
Today, these warriors around witnessed that Colin, as their former top leader, abandoned his men and deserted when the situation
was unfavorable to the human race.
Deep inside, they all had been extremely disappointed with him.
Yet, at the scritical moment, Austin stepped forward, seemingly like a God from Heaven.
He not only saved all the warriors’ lives but also led them to fight against the demon race. Under his leadership, they were greatly
encouraged and finally defeated the demon race, who fled in the end.
Until that very moment, the warriors stationed at the Trinary Star City would still feel excited and encouraged when they thought of
what had happened today.
So, almost all of them chose Austin without any hesitation.
"How dare you!"
You are really going too far!
Colin is the top leader of this city, appointed legally by the headquarters of the Southern Alliances Army.
You are completely betraying the Southern Alliances Army!
Clark, how could you galvanize those warriors to betray the Southern Alliances Army? Shon you all!
Do you know you have committed a crime?"
All of a sudden, Elder Jason from the Thunder Sect jumped to his feet and swore loudly, causing everyone to shift their attention at
him.
He had accumulated grudge against Austin and hated the latter for a long time. He could not just watch him be the leader of
Trinary Star City and do nothing.
"And you, Austin, you're usurping Collin's legal title. Aren't you afraid of being investigated by the Southern Alliances Army?"
Elder Jason turned to Austin and snapped angrily.
Elder Jason appeared desperate to not let Austin be the chief commander of that city, and he even kept mentioning the Southern
Alliances Army to scare Austin and his followers.
