The young man, named Jagson, was a key representative sent by the Einar family. The meeting in Mempho was strategically planned not only to address their internal affairs but also to eliminate all mercenaries in the area and replace them with their operatives. They had laid an intricate trap, anticipating Xayne's arrival. If Drakonia didn't send Xayne, they intended to force them to hand him over.To their surprise, Xayne had walked right into their stronghold, the same tavern where they had set their trap. The remaining people lost their value, and Jagson even let Gordon and others escape. It was not an act of mercy. Jagson knew that assassins were lying in wait along the route to Carollan. Gordon and Aava wouldn't make it far."So, you're from the Einar family?" Xayne asked with a smile."Exactly. Remember my name. I am Jagson." He stepped aside, revealing two imposing figures: a tall, burly man and a robed cleric. They were the family's elite enforcers—Capua, a top operative, and

As the standoff shifted from a three-way confrontation to a tense four-way face-off, a flicker of frustration flashed in Emanro's eyes. Eliminating Xayne and the others would've been straightforward, but the involvement of the Egenda priests complicated everything. If they acted now, they risked drawing the attention of the High Priests, each a Divine Commander powerhouse. Any one of them could annihilate everyone present in a snap of a finger."You meddling in Einar family affairs is beyond your…" Jagson started angrily."Jagson!" Emanro cut him off sharply, sensing the volatile situation. They couldn't afford to provoke any side further. Even confronting Xayne would have to wait until they navigated this mess."What's the meaning of this, Emanro?" Jagson's confusion was evident. He hadn't grasped how dramatically the power dynamics had shifted. What had begun as a simple vendetta now had them outnumbered, facing formidable enemies from all sides.From the previous two-way confron

The experts from Egenda, having faced an ancient curse, specialized solely in controlling fire once they became Divine Commanders. Santos and his companion were Quin-Divine Commanders, far surpassing anything Janko had faced before. Their mastery of fire was unparalleled.In the blink of an eye, the intense heat wave engulfed Emanro, setting his pristine white robe ablaze. It was reduced to rags."Go to hell!" Emanro roared in fury and lunged at Santos, his eyes filled with desperation. He thrust his sword toward one priest, but Santos's dagger struck from behind.Two muffled sounds echoed, and both combatants were injured. Emanro's blade pierced the priest's abdomen, while Santos's dagger sank deep into Emanro's shoulder, reaching the bone. His hand trembled as he gripped his weapon. Continuing this battle would only mean death. Gritting his teeth, Emanro cast a desperate glance at Jagson before retreating into the night."Santos! You'll pay for today's actions!" he spat before di

Castrid let out a sinister smile. "Taking advantage of the Roland family won't be easy. Emanro is a loose end. We should track him down and eliminate him.""Or, we could leverage this kid," he added, tracing the blade along Jagson's face.Xayne shook his head slightly. "Hunting down Emanro is a last resort. He'll come back eventually. Tomorrow morning, let Jagson make a call to his family."Luna cast a cold glance at the unconscious Jagson. "He's the Einar family's liaison head. Using him as leverage is tricky. If we triggered the family head, the consequences won't be pretty."The Einar family head, known as the Lion King, was a formidable and enigmatic figure rumored to be a Radiant Commander. No one had fought him, but it was well-known that powerful families in Eukrania were backed by immense strength.There was an unwritten rule. Radiant Commanders shouldn't interfere in worldly affairs or harm ordinary people. However, if provoked, no one could predict the fallout."A coupl

Waze took the emperor's phone and glanced at the message. At first, he didn't pay much attention, but his expression shifted dramatically as he read through the content."What? Have those Eukranian fools lost their minds? Allowing Radiant Commanders to intervene in worldly affairs would destroy the world!"Waze, nearly a hundred years old, had witnessed firsthand the terrifying power of Radiant Commanders. Even the two nuclear bombs from decades ago paled in comparison to the potential devastation a Radiant Commander could unleash."Waze, this is beyond our control. I need to know how many Radiant Commanders Drakonia or Wyncock currently have?" The Emperor's expression was solemn, his tone grave.Waze hesitated. "For now, there are only four known Radiant Commanders, mostly within KB Kings Circle. These individuals are ancient recluses, obsessed with kickboxing arts, and rarely seen. The other circles, at most, might add up to ten Radiant Commanders.""Reaching Radiant Commander i
