The crowd turned around and saw a young man dressed in all-black entering with a determined and solemn expression.His very presence emitted a commanding aura that even those experienced on the battlefield, like Everett and Shane, adopted a serious demeanor. The newcomer was none other than Austin, Rufus' youngest son.Austin was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, living a pampered life that earned him the title of being West Lucozia's top playboy. However, over the past two years, Austin seemed to have undergone a remarkable transformation. He no longer spent his days in leisure, choosing instead to join the military and pursue excellence. At first, everyone believed that Austin wouldn't last more than three days in the military. After all, how could the pampered prince endure the hardships of the army?

"Uncle Julius has harbored ambitions for years, lying low and waiting for the right moment. "With Father's sudden demise, he'll undoubtedly seize this opportunity to consolidate his power. This matter is far from over," Austin stated with a grave expression."You're absolutely right. Even if they yielded publicly, they'll resort to cunning schemes. We're likely to face numerous challenges ahead," Eloise sighed.If Rufus had not met such an abrupt end, these individuals wouldn't have dared to act so brazenly."If only Logan were here," Austin lamented."Austin, your abilities are no less than Logan's. I believe you can achieve what he accomplished as well," Eloise encouraged."Mom, I'm aware of my abilities. In many aspects, I still fall short compared to Logan." Austin shook his head."Don't underestimate yourself!"Eloise's voice turned serious. "Your father has passed away.

Secondly, as the Grand General of the Iron Stallion Cavalry, Julius commanded half of West Lucozia's military forces, wielding significant power.Thirdly, with years of accumulated strength, Julius possessed ample influence, prestige, and accomplishments to ascend to the throne.It wasn't an exaggeration to claim that everyone expected Julius to succeed Rufus.

"I really can't do it! Logan, the throne belongs to you!" Austin was growing anxious. "Alright, that's enough. We'll talk about this later. With so much trouble we're facing, our immediate priority is to resolve all these issues." Dustin changed the subject."Logan, as long as you take charge and stabilize the situation, I will assist you wholeheartedly!" Austin said with utmost sincerity."I can't show myself yet." Dustin shook his head and explained, "Julius and his group are still unaware of my return, so they are not on high alert. I can react in time if they harbor any ill intentions. "Not to mention, the remnants of the Dragon Guard are still lurking in the shadows. I need to find an opportunity to eliminate them all!" "I see."Austin quickly grasped the situation and said, "I understand. I will act as the spokesperson of the monarchy while you unravel all the conspiracies.""Good, it's settled then."

Dustin, Austin, and a few other people stepped out of the vehicle. "Logan, this is the Marquis of Sunfire, Wyatt Mitchell's residence." Austin introduced Wyatt briefly.

"Who's there sneaking around outside?" two guards standing at the entrance quickly noticed the anomaly and shouted.Austin took the lead and approached them, presenting his identification bad
