"Also, why isn't that idiot running? Are all Novemtoners this stupid?""Haha! We've still got a chance then!"The Rondoniers had faith in Gunther's capabilities. He would not have missed under normal circumstances. They thought it was due to the high wind speeds and direction that he failed to take down his target. The Rondoniers laughed once more. "What the f*ck? Is he an idiot? Did he not hear the gunshot? Why isn’t he fleeing for his life?""Hahaha! Exactly! He clearly knows we're after his life, yet he's still loitering around.""Gunther, make sure you get the wind speed right this time, and don't miss," Wolfclaw said."Yes, sir." Gunther took a deep breath and aimed his weapon once more, ready to take his second shot. However, he failed to realize that his position had already been exposed thanks to his first shot.Brett locked onto his position from the shadows. He took out a throwing star as he sneered. "You're done!" He then threw the throwing star.Swoosh!!!The th

A few more people were now out of contact…"F*ck! F*ck! F*ck!!!" Wolfclaw was enraged and confused about what was happening.Adrian was right before his eyes, and he had no intention of letting go of this big chance to assassinate him. Wolfclaw ignored everything and continued to order his men to strike. The more gunshots were fired, the more men were taken down, and the slower Adrian walked. In just half an hour, Wolfclaw lost contact with the majority of the men he had brought. "Can anyone tell me what the f*ck is happening? Is Draco dead?" He paced angrily as only a handful of people were still responding to him.He yelled, "You'd better not fail me, Thunderclap! Kill him!" Bang! Bang! Bang!!!Adrian still remained unscathed despite the continuous rain of gunshots, while Thunderclap and the others ceased contact.Wolfclaw was stunned. He thought he had come up with the perfect plan—the perfect cover. He thought Adrian was as good as dead the moment he ordered a rain of fire

Mya pointed to one of the beds. "Gloria and I will share a bed. You sleep over there."***The rest of the night passed without incident. The next morning, Enzo arrived at the hotel shortly after Adrian’s group finished breakfast. He greeted, "How was your night, sir? Did you sleep well?"Mya stepped forward and replied, "We were ambushed by Rondoniers last night. Why didn't you notice them?"Enzo frowned. "How dare they… Those Rondoniers don’t know when to back down until they're killed. Are you guys okay? Was anyone injured?""We wouldn't be standing here if we weren't okay." Mya rolled her eyes."Enough chatter. We should hurry along." Adrian interrupted.Enzo led Adrian’s group to the car before speeding off to the airport. Adrian’s group would fly to Sormbay, then return to Novemton from there. The journey would take them more than a day."This is as far as I can take you, sir. Someone will be at Sormbay to pick you up and arrange transport for your journey back to Novem

"Thank you, Casey,” Adrian said before getting out of the car.Casey smiled at them. "It's been an honor to be of service, War Legate Draco. All right, we'll be off now. See you soon!"He was aware of his nephew's feelings for Gloria, so he did not want to stay there any longer than necessary, afraid it would prolong Reuben's heartbreak. After all, his nephew was just beginning to understand what being in love meant, so he was inevitably attracted by a woman's every move.After they left, Casey said, "You should stop thinking about someone you can never have. Gloria is one of the top ten most powerful people in Wyvern Peak, plus she's a reputable general. She’s out of your league." He seemed slightly disappointed as he looked at Reuben. He was not deliberately trying to embarrass Reuben, but it was a fact that Gloria was far too great to be with a man like him. "I never said I have feelings for Ms. Sia. Also, am I not allowed to just admire her? Who says I have to get together w

Dominic stood up and said, "According to what the elders have discussed, the selection will be carried out in six locations—Cawthorn County, Rusouth, Rivton, Drogoton, Dillonia, and Northbound. "The preliminary round will be carried out in the six locations simultaneously, where half of the candidates will be disqualified. We’ll then hold the challenger round in Novemton to select the finalists."The final round will be held at Wyvern Peak, where War Legate Draco will personally announce who the next War Legate of Wyvern Peak will be two days after the finals are concluded."In the past, the selection would always be held at Wyvern Peak. This time, they had taken into consideration that Wyvern Peak's headquarters was in the outlands. It would be inconvenient to hold such a large-scale event there in case the outlanders attacked. Thus, the ten elders decided that the selection would be held at six different locations across Novemton.After listening to Dominic's report, Adrian said
