The Ultimate Fire Master of Avatar

Chapter 57 Countermeasures and Search

After Ao Zai ascended the throne, he immediately began to suppress Ai Luo's influence in the army, making the generals choose their own side, promoting his own people and attacking Ai Luo's people.

As for some particularly stubborn elements, Ao Zai had no choice but to help them "sacrifice themselves for the country," just as Zu Kou had heard in the conference hall or elsewhere, by sending those troops to act as human bait.

Faced with such blatant oppression, people naturally would not choose to sit idly by and wait for their doom, and thus the rebel army was born.

Another fire master from the Fire Kingdom, former Admiral Zhengzheng, is now also a member of the rebel army.

After the rebels were formed, not only Aiolos's supporters, but also some people who were dissatisfied with Aozai's methods joined in and operated in various places. Although they were not large in scale, they were troublesome.

As for sending Ao Zai, Ailuo's disciple, to deal with an organization that had intricate connections with Ailuo, Ao Zai's intentions were self-evident.

Ao Zai clearly wanted to create conflict between him and Ai Luo's forces through this operation, thereby completely binding him to his own side.

Call him cunning or shrewd, but the facts tell him that Ao Zai is not as easy to deal with as he imagined.

Before he could even plan how to deal with Ao Zai, the other party had already presented him with such a big problem.

So the question is, how do we break this deadlock?

Kahn instinctively wanted to ask Elo for advice, but then he remembered that he couldn't enter the spirit world yet, so he couldn't meet with Elo.

But then he realized that he might have become too dependent on Elo over the years.

Whether now or in the future, Ai Luo can't help him anytime, anywhere, so it's best to get rid of this dangerous idea as soon as possible.

After giving himself a pep talk and carefully analyzing the current conditions, Kahn felt that his situation was still relatively favorable.

Since this mission was being carried out by him and Azura together, Aozai probably wanted Azura to undergo training while simultaneously monitoring his actions, killing two birds with one stone.

And that was his winning formula.

No matter how meticulous Aozai was, he would never have imagined that, in a sense, his most trusted daughter, Azura, had long deviated from his intended path and even stood on the opposite side of him!

You think I'm the one who was turned?

Wrong, it's Azura!

If Azura can stand by his side and cooperate with him, then the whole situation will have a lot of room for maneuver.

With that in mind, Kahn immediately set off to find Azura.

"Ask me for help? For you or for Elo? Maybe you could offer me something that might appeal to me, and I might be interested."

Upon hearing Kahn's request, Azura remained noncommittal, leaning back in her deck chair and speaking with a hint of mockery.

She naturally agreed when Kahn asked for her help, but if Kahn was helping Elo, then it was worth having a serious talk about it.

She wouldn't have bothered listening if Kahn hadn't spoken up.

Kahn understood Azura's personality, and of course, he came prepared this time.

"You said before that you wanted to become the emperor of the Fire Kingdom, so I think this incident is a good start."

Kahn spoke eloquently:

"If that's our goal, then it's clear that we must have a force of our own."

"You mean those people from Airo? You think they'd be loyal to me? Are you dreaming?"

Azura scoffed at this.

"How is that impossible!"

Kahn said in a serious tone:

"As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Now we all have a common enemy, Ao-jae, which makes this possibility possible."

"Besides, aren't I still here?"

At this point, Kahn chuckled:

"You know my relationship with Uncle Airo. Uncle Airo's power is my power, and my power is your power. If you really want to become emperor in the future, I will definitely support you, okay!"

Sorry, Zuko, but the present situation is more important than the future.

"Is there any other choice but to support me? This kind of thing doesn't really count as a condition."

Although she said that, Azura's tone clearly became lighter.

"Fine, but remember what you said."

"So, how can I help you?"

With Azura dealt with, Kahn's plan was more than half complete. As for the remaining part, he had to go to another place to take a look.

Then Kahn laughed:

"It's not decided yet, because there might be other surprises."

-

That day, Kahn arrived at the market early in the morning, blending perfectly into the crowd and wandering aimlessly.

As he walked, he fiddled with the lotus chess pieces in his hand, looking somewhat bewildered.

His purpose this time was to find the mysterious organization that Airo had told him about.

Unfortunately, Airo didn't tell him how to contact the mysterious organization, but only suggested that he wander around the market when he encountered difficulties, and perhaps there would be a surprise.

As for what the surprise was, he had no idea.

However, he didn't place any hope on this mysterious organization whose name he didn't even know. He was just trying his luck, and it would be even better if he could get some substantial help.

As the capital of the Fire Kingdom, its bustling markets are equally remarkable.

At the market, you can buy not only specialties from all over the Fire Kingdom, but also specialties from other countries. The wide variety of goods is dazzling and overwhelming.

Even if you can't find that organization, just coming to broaden your horizons and relax your mind and body doesn't seem like a bad deal.

Kahn thought to himself.

Every time he passed a teahouse, Kahn would stop and observe the people drinking tea and playing chess inside. These were places that Airo frequented, and perhaps there would be some clues there.

"Is this guest here to play chess?"

As Kahn passed by a teahouse, one of the waiters suddenly called out to him.

He was a lean and fit man with an average appearance, but he was enthusiastic and talkative, just like a qualified ordinary waiter.

Kahn instinctively denied it:

No, I don't know how to play chess.

The waiter laughed:

"Then why are you holding a chess piece while walking down the street?"

However, if you don't know how to play chess but are interested, you can come to our shop and order a pot of tea. We will teach you some basic chess rules. What do you say, sir?

Kahn glanced at the enthusiastic waiter in front of him, then at the lotus chess piece in his hand.

"All right."

So the waiter led him to an empty seat in the teahouse, served him tea, and then actually began to teach him the rules of what he called "Animal Chess".

Kahn had no choice but to listen attentively, but the more he listened, the sleepier he became. Perhaps he was not suited to playing chess, at least he didn't find it interesting at the moment.

A while later, a waiter came to tell him that a private room in the back had become available and asked if he would like to change seats.

finally come!

Kahn immediately perked up and nodded, saying:

"certainly!"
