He Started A War, Conquered The World novel Chapter 2039

Right then, more news traveled into his ears.

The missing third batch of the sunstones had been found in Erudia.

The moment they heard about it, Bruce and the others leaped in joy.

“Where did you find it?” Bruce asked, his eyes bright with delight.

After a moment of hesitation, the man who came bearing good news said, “As it turns out, the sunstones were not transported out at all. They're still at the mining sites!”

Boom!

The reply was like a bolt from the blue for Bruce.

He had been searching everywhere like a madman, but it turned out that the sunstones never left the mining sites from the start.

Bruce finally understood what it meant by the most dangerous place was the safest.

The mysterious force had only wanted to stop the sunstones from leaving Erudia; they never robbed them at all.

They had swapped out the sunstones with ordinary stones at the mining sites, so what they had transported had been normal stones.

They had been fooled.

Realizing that, Bruce's eyes turned red as his expression turned as dark as night.

After all those efforts in searching for the sunstones, they turned out to be at the mining site all along. They were never lost; they had always been in the hands of his own men.

They had truly played the entire Lab of Gods like a fiddle.

How humiliating.

It was the greatest humiliation he had ever suffered.

Bruce would rather hit his head against a wall and end his life than convey the message he just heard to the Lab of Gods.

It was the third time, but still, they were fooled.

It would have been better if they had stolen the sunstones away from him, but that was not what happened.

They had merely been tricked.

SmacklCrack!

In his fury, Bruce threw everything he could lay his hands on.

A subordinate beside him tried to calm him down. “Mr. Johnston, please don't be mad. Although we've been tricked, we've still found the sunstones. They're still with us. Our efforts haven't gone to waste.”

The others quickly chimed in. “Yes, he's right. What's most important is that we still have the sunstones!”

All of a sudden, Bruce snapped his head in their direction and glared at them. “Are you all idiots?”

“Huh?”
