The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 880

Impressed by Jesse's loyalty, Helena teased, "How many Scarlet Cardinals can you gather on such short notice?"

Jesse fell silent, realizing the impracticality of the suggestion. The 12-mile perimeter in the desert was too vast. It would require over 20 Scarlet Cardinals for complete coverage, and there were not even that many in all of Guneria.
