Victoria brought her sharp dagger down with all her strength, aiming the steel straight at Lily’s face. The little girl squeezed her eyes shut, screaming for her big brother as tears washed down her cheeks. Before the blade could touch her skin, a hand clad in black dragon silk shot out from the dark mist.Leo clamped his fingers around Victoria's descending wrist like an iron vise. Victoria froze in place, the breath caught in her throat as a crushing weight locked her arm in midair. She slowly turned her head around, her eyes widening in pure horror as she looked up at the towering shadow behind her.An iron mask carved like a roaring dragon glared down at her with glowing eyes. "Who are you?!" Victoria shrieked in terror, trying with all her might to pull her hand free. Leo did not answer with words; he simply tightened his iron grip.A sickening crunch of breaking bones echoed across the wet cliff as Victoria's wrist and forearm shattered into splinters. The steel dagger slipped f

Leo fell down, wind roaring like thunder. The mountain peaks vanished into the darkness above as the cold air tore at his bleeding clothes. He looked up into the sky, screaming with all the air left in his lungs: "I will not die! Father, I will come back for you!"Just before his body slammed into the jagged rocks below, a golden light burst from his chest. A golden dragon barrier wrapped around him like a shield, pushing the air away. He crashed into the deep waters of an underground lake, the magical barrier absorbing the deadly force of the fall.Leo kicked his legs through the water and pulled himself up onto a shore of black marble. He coughed up water, his bruised hands trembling as he looked around the massive underground hall. Towering stone pillars carved with flying dragons held up the ceiling of the ancient Imperial Dragon Vault.Inside his torn coat, the green Jade Crown began to shine with a brilliant emerald glow. The green light floated into the air, slowly gathering i

"You have five seconds to crawl out right now!" Gareth's voice echoed outside the cave. When no one came out, Gareth's face twisted into an ugly sneer. "Burn them out! Fire the flame arrows into the hole right now!"A loud whistle tore through the darkness as dozens of burning arrows shot into the cave entrance. Fire splashed across the dry bushes and stone walls, filling the small space with choking smoke.Thomas coughed violently, holding Lily close as sparks landed on their torn clothes. Leo did not hesitate for a single second. He lunged across the dirt, grabbing an abandoned iron shield left behind by old miners.Leo lifted the iron high, planting his feet firmly in front of his family like a stone wall. Flaming arrows slammed violently against the shield, Hot embers splashed across Leo’s arms and shoulders, burning his skin until it blistered, but he never let out a single groan."Clara, help me clear the smoke!" Leo yelled over the roaring flames. Clara gritted her teeth, tryin

Clara stood at the center of the wooden stage with blood pouring from her pale lips. Her soul burned with dark fire as she prepared to blow up the entire city. Leo moved behind her in a silent blur, pressing his fingers gently against the back of her neck.A warm, soothing pulse of hidden dragon power slipped softly into Clara's neck. The red lightning in the sky vanished instantly as her magic melted away. Her eyes closed and her body fell backward into Leo's strong arms.Leo pulled Clara against his chest, holding the green Jade Crown tightly with his other hand. The frightened crowd broke through the wooden gates, screaming and running in every direction to save their lives. Leo dashed through the chaotic mob like a shadow, vanishing toward the mountains.Inside the Blood Dragon Hall, Seven sect patriarchs sat around a round black table, their faces dark with fury and shame. Elder Zhao smashed his wine cup onto the stone floor, splashing red wine across the room."A single woman ki

"I have to go, Father," Leo said softly, kneeling down to wipe the tears from his father's face. "They took our home, your eyes, and Lily's legs, but they cannot take Mother's honor. I promise you with all my life, Lily, I will return before the sun sets tonight.""Please be careful, big brother," she whimpered in fear, holding his shirt tightly. Leo kissed her forehead, and turned around to walk down the mountain into the bright morning sun.Golden sunlight lit up the massive central square of Dragonfall City, where thousands of people stood in a wide circle. Gareth stood proudly on a high stone platform, wearing golden armor with a cruel smile on his face. Beside him stood victoria in pure white robes, her eyes looking cold like carved stone."Look at the traitor's crown!" Gareth shouted to the crowd, pointing his sharp sword at the beautiful green jade. "Today, we will burn this cursed thing to ashes to show that the evil Lin family is gone forever! But before we burn it, let us se

Victoria's footsteps slowly faded, leaving the broken hut in dead silence. Leo dropped to his knees wrapping his arms around his weeping father and trembling little sister. He pulled them against his chest, blocking the wind howling through the shattered door."Lift your heads, Father. Lily, look at me," Leo said, his voice ringing with absolute, unshakable strength as he wiped the tears from her face. "I am back. While I stand, no power in this world will ever lay a hand on you again." Thomas’s shaking hands held onto Leo’s sleeves as if he was dreaming. "My son, You just returned to us, and already you are bleeding for our sake. We must not let them break what we fought ten years to reclaim." "You are my world, Father, Ten years of pain was nothing compared to seeing you both breathe again. As long as I have blood in my body, I will protect this family." Leo said.Before Leo could even wipe the mud from Lily's broken legs, iron boots stomped outside the broken doorway. A violent
