Carter glared at Xayne unpleasantly. The former did not recognize the man before him, causing his anger to rise. "Do you realize it's a capital offense to trespass in my embassy and kick down my door?! You're instigating war!"Xayne had disrupted Carter's meeting, and Carter had nowhere else to vent his fury. He pointed at Xayne and bellowed, "Guards, take them down!"Coco was frightened, her face pale as she clung to Xayne's neck. Meanwhile, Xayne remained composed as he approached the furious Carter, saying, “So what if my man kicked the door in? You got a problem with that?”Xayne silenced Carter’s rage. The former gave off an eerie vibe as he gazed at Carter grimly. Carter felt like he was facing a demon.The staff were dumbfounded.'Who is this guy? Why’s he so arrogant?'"Who are you?!" Carter stared at Xayne in puzzlement and wariness. He knew anyone who could breach this place must be an extraordinary individual.Xayne smirked, choosing not to answer the question. He swe

Amid the crowd, rows of tanks and armored vehicles stood tall. The embassy teemed with troops within a five-mile radius.'Just...how many troops are there? Are they trying to instigate a war between the two nations?!'Carter panicked. His legs trembled as sweat formed on his forehead.Meanwhile, Xayne stood calmly. He flicked away his cigarette and stomped it out, saying, "You want to discuss consequences with me, Carter? Do you like the consequences I'm presenting?"Carter's legs went weak, and he almost fainted.'Is this the consequence of crossing Xayne? Ten thousand soldiers have surrounded the embassy. This guy’s not joking around.’Carter knew there was no point arguing if these were the consequences he would face. He paled as he stared at the indifferent Xayne in horror. The sea of soldiers outside shook Carter to his core.Although he had met many influential figures and experienced countless scenarios, he was genuinely afraid now. The might of ten thousand soldiers was

Carter dropped to his knees with cold sweat on his forehead. 'Could he be a Three-star Commander?!'"Sir... are you a Three-star...Commander?" Carter shook with fear. After all, it was unimaginable for a Three-star Commander to be only over twenty years old. Carter was so terrified he could not even draw a steady breath.Everyone in the embassy looked shocked and in disbelief, as they continued to kneel.However, Xayne continued to shake his head. He spoke coldly, "Only three stars? Do you know what's after three stars?"Boom! Carter felt like lightning had struck him. He shuddered violently, and cold sweat poured down his body. 'Is he higher than a Three-star Commander?! That can't be. It’s simply too terrifying.' Everyone became wide-eyed. A dreadful and horrifying thought flashed through their minds.‘He’s a Four-star Commander?! But he looks to be in his twenties. That’s beyond terrifying.'Everyone gasped. Commanders with four stars were rare among the dozen or so Dr

Emerson was scornful and arrogant. His words and demeanor horrified Carter. The latter rose and slapped his son, yelling, “Kneel and apologize to her!”"No! Why should I? What did I do wrong?!" Emerson remained stubborn."If you don't apologize, I'll return you to our country," Carter threatened.Emerson grew flustered this time, reluctantly offering an apology to Coco. "I'm sorry."Carter hastily added, "Supreme Commander, they're just kids. We should take their words with a grain of salt. I hope you can consider the bigger picture."Xayne looked at Coco and asked, "Are you happy?"Rubbing her reddened eyes, Coco nodded. "Yes, Daddy, let's go back.""Good." Xayne nodded and glared at Carter, warning him, "Remember, this land will always belong to Drakonia. It's not the private property of foreign barbarians like you.""Yes, sir, I understand." Carter nodded frantically.Xayne turned and left the embassy with Coco. Afterward, Carter sighed in relief and slumped into a seat, hi
