Chesley's appearance was the most impactful bombshell of the night. All the soldiers in the venue snapped to attention and saluted him. Chesley approached the stage, his boots echoing.He wore a military uniform with a golden epaulet on his shoulder, displaying three gold stars and sheaves of wheat. It showed he was a Drakarium Warrior.The crowd gasped at his arrival. Their expressions were solemn as they watched him. The people Chuck had brought also made way for Chesley, some not daring to look at the man. After all, his aura was too overwhelming.Only around thirty Legend Warriors existed in Drakonia. Each had significantly contributed to the nation, offering their lives for the country. The nation revered these warriors as leading figures, inferior only to a Supreme Commander.They were even candidates to become Supreme Commanders. Sometimes, they could even issue commands and deploy within their military theaters. If a Commander held authority over tens of thousands, a Legend

Serena stared at Xayne with terror. After all, she had narrowly escaped death. The man beside her was familiar, yet unfamiliar.Xayne had shocked her immensely. She did not recognize this side of him. She had many questions and doubts but had no time for them.She looked to Kendall, bowing before her in apology. Disappointment filled her heart.‘Friendship? That illusion has long shattered. I don’t want to see Kendall or hear her voice any longer. I’m just too tired.’She said, "Kendall, I’ve never considered you an enemy. I consider you my dearest friend. Even five years ago, I found every excuse to forgive you. I refused to believe you were capable of such a thing.“Yet, I've realized how foolish I've been over the past few days. Our friendship ended when you harmed my daughter. You're nothing more than an adversary now. You must pay for everything you've done!"Boom! Kendall trembled, terrified, as she looked at Serena. "No! Please, Serena! I know I was wrong. I beg you to s

Countless questions flooded Serena’s mind. She trusted Xayne, but many things were beyond her understanding. Moreover, she and Xayne did not have a stable relationship. It was primarily due to the mistake five years ago and the irreplaceable factor, Coco.She often found herself trusting Xayne, but at the same time, she did not know if she was doing the right thing. It left her feeling conflicted. She felt Xayne's sudden appearance was too abrupt for her.She did not know much about him, especially his true identity.Xayne looked into Serena’s eyes and felt overwhelmed by heartache and self-blame. He wanted to tell her his true identity, but it was the most classified information in Drakonia.It was not time to reveal himself yet. Based on the information Kendall had revealed tonight about the Big Four, he could not divulge his identity, or it would put Serena and Coco at greater risk.He sat down, tucked Serena’s hair behind her ears, and said, "Silly girl. I’d never hide anythin

"This way, sir," Chesley responded and stepped aside. The Venzor Military Headquarters personnel and the business world titans also made way. Xayne walked through the crowd and strode toward Adrian's room.The man in question lay on a bed as he received treatment for his hands and feet. However, he was handcuffed to the bed railing as two soldiers stood guard.Xayne opened the door and entered, followed by Chesley. Xayne nodded to the two soldiers, who saluted before leaving.The incapacitated Adrian looked frightened when he saw Xayne. He struggled to sit up as he pleaded, "Xayne, please spare Kendall and the Lennings. You can do whatever you want to me. I’ll accept whatever punishment. Please...""Do you know who stands before you, Adrian?!" Chesley snarled.Adrian trembled, realizing the gravity of the situation. With disbelief, regret, and helplessness, he lowered his head and murmured, "Adrian Lenning greets the Supreme Commander of the Northern Plains..."Adrian could not b

Eric and the others trembled at these words. Their excitement caused them to bolt to their feet. One asked, “Really? Chuck came to visit us with other prominent figures?"The steward nodded. "Yes, they're right outside.""Why haven't you welcomed them in yet, you imbecile! If you slight Mr. Chuck, can you bear the consequences?" scolded Eric, who hurried toward the front door.The other Swifts were shocked and amazed as they hurriedly followed Eric. They wondered why Chuck suddenly visited them with so many people in tow.Eric saw Chuck and the others at the front door. These people were prominent figures within Venzor. Eric was so happy that he wanted to jump. If they joined forces, they could even alter the course of the county's economy, impacting the governing departments and the military headquarters stationed in Venzor."Mr. Chuck, I wasn’t expecting you to visit. I'm sorry I didn’t welcome you properly," Eric said. He rushed forward and extended his hand in greeting, acti
