Julius raised an eyebrow. Staring at the black pill, he felt a bit suspicious. Thus, he forced a smile and replied, "Dustin, thank you. However, you should keep it for yourself. I don't need it.""I have a lot of Rejuvenatium. It's not anything precious. Feel free to take it. If one is not enough, I have many more." Dustin continued to smile."Well …" Julius was a bit hesitant."What is it? You don't believe me? Do you think I'll poison you?" Dustin suddenly asked."Of course not. You're such a righteous person. There's no way you would do something like that." Julius forced a smile."Eat it, then." Dustin pushed the black pill to him.The corners of Julius' eye twitched. After taking a deep breath, he took the black pill and swallowed it.Julius had to eat it regardless of what it contained. Otherwise, he couldn't obtain Dustin's trust."Uncle Julius, how do you feel?" Dustin questioned with a smile."Not bad. It's no wonder that it's such an amazing pill. I can feel a warm
"Oh? It seems like you got prepared in advance." Rufus smiled meaningfully.Dustin was indeed cunning. After all, he only did all of this to pressure Julius.After eating Rejuvenatium, Julius wouldn't dare to reveal any of his hidden intentions if he had any."I don't trust Uncle Julius, so I must take precautions. That way, our efforts won't be in vain if he acts recklessly and rebels again." Dustin shrugged."It's a good thing to be on alert. However, is it reliable to use your uncle as bait?"Rufus added thoughtfully, "Reagan is very capable and cunning. It's difficult to be able to deceive him.""We cannot succeed with Uncle Julius alone. There's no way Reagan would trust someone that he had just partnered with. Thus, we will need to prepare another plan," Dustin replied."Oh? Do you have a good plan?" Rufus raised an eyebrow."I cannot reveal it. You'll get to know when the time comes," Dustin teased."You brat! You're going to hide from your father?" Rufus said irritably
Following that, a group of men in black shirts walked inside calmly.The leader was a middle-aged man dressed in a black, oversized attire and a hat.The middle-aged man had his head lowered, and his hat was pulled down low. Thus, no one could see his face.However, he appeared to have a slender figure.After heading inside, the middle-aged man with the hat made a beeline to Julius and sat down opposite him.The group of people behind him began to scan their surroundings alertly."Who are you?" Julius felt a bit confused looking at the middle-aged man before him.Julius had seen Reagan before. He was tall and buff, not slender like the man before him."Grand General Rhys, long time no see." The middle-aged man took off his hat and revealed his appearance.After looking closely, Julius was stunned. "You're Cinna?""You have a good eye. It's been ten years since I last saw you. I didn't expect you to still recognize me." Cinna smiled.Compared to his robust figure ten years ag
Seeing that Julius was about to leave, Cinna couldn't take it anymore. "Wait for a second! Grand General Rhys, we can just talk it out. Why are you being so rash?""What else is there to talk about? You don't even trust me. It's clear that you're just disrespecting me!" Julius acted like he was angry."Don't get so worked up. It's not that Sir Judd doesn't want to meet you. It's because he doesn't have time. If it's possible, please wait for a moment. I'll go and ask about his thoughts." Cinna forced a smile."Hurry up if you want to ask. I don't have that much time to wait." Julius stood with his hands behind his back arrogantly."Of course. Please sit. I'll go and ask right away." After consoling Julius, Cinna went to a corner and started calling someone.Cinna nodded after being on the phone for about two minutes. With his single gesture, his subordinates immediately scattered around to check their surroundings.After a while, everyone returned without any findings.Cinna and
At this moment, Cinna took out a black cloth inside the moving SUV. Then, he handed it over to Julius with a smile. "Grand General Rhys, it'll be a long journey. Please close your eyes and rest.""What? What do you mean?" Julius furrowed his eyebrows.。"This is our rules. Any outsides that come to our base must be blindfolded just in case," Cinna explained."What? Do you not trust me?" Julius pretended to be discontented."Don't misunderstand. Everyone will be treated the same way. Please understand." Cinna did not back down."Alright. Go ahead. I just happened to be tired, so I'm going to lie down and rest." Julius didn't want to waste any time.Thus, he closed his eyes, shifted comfortably, and lay in the car."Thank you for your cooperation." Cinna smiled and blindfolded him. Time was slowly going by.The car initially traveled smoothly. However, the road became winding almost an hour later.The car's rockiness could cause a person to feel sleepy."General Shaffer, are w
The level of defense in the Dragon Guard's base was indeed formidable.After passing through the wall, it was a different scene before Julius.From its size, the base behind the wall could be considered a town. There were all kinds of buildings, such as barracks, training grounds, labs, armories, bunkers, and military airports.There were also many facilities for the civilians there.After scanning around, Julius predicted that the military base could accommodate at least 50 to 100 thousand people based on the size of the buildings.Counting out the logistical personnel, this was still an extremely powerful army!With so many weapons and troops, it could take down a city in no time.Despite having experienced many ups and downs, Julius couldn't help but secretly be alarmed at that moment.The Dragon Guard had kept it too well. Without revealing any signs, they had accumulated a substantial military force.Plus, even West Lucozia's spies didn't notice anything.Suddenly, Juliu
"He faked his death? Is that even possible?" Reagan raised an eyebrow."I wouldn't have believed it either if I didn't see it myself."Julius shook his head and sighed. "All in all, we're still lacking compared to Rufus. That's why he managed to fool us. "Now that my subordinates are all under his control, it's impossible to turn the tables. Thus, I came to you for help."After thinking for a moment, Reagan replied, "Give me some time to think it through. You're saying that our mission failed and that Rufus didn't die. "Plus, all your troops have been captured, leaving you with no way out.""You're correct. That's about what happened." Julius nodded."Honestly, I'm a bit curious. If the mission failed and all your men were captured, how did you manage to get away?" Reagan asked."To be honest, I pretended to surrender just to get away," Julius replied."Pretended to surrender? What do you mean?" Reagan's curiosity was piqued."I hope you won't mind if I say this."After re
At that moment, a Dragon Guard's spy suddenly walked over."What's the matter?" Reagan asked indifferently."Sir Judd, we found two spies that should be from West Lucozia outside. May I know how we should take care of them?" the Dragon Guard spy asked."Spy?" Reagan raised an eyebrow.After shooting a meaningful look at Julius, Reagan replied, "Bring them over. I want to question them!""Yes, sir!" The Dragon Guard spy nodded before gesturing to those standing outside.Soon, two tied-up men in black clothes were brought over.Just as the adhesive tapes were ripped off from their mouths, one of them started to yell, "You traitor! How dare you betray us! I hope that you'll die miserably!""Slap him," Reagan spoke calmly."Yes, sir!" The dragon guard spy walked over and slapped the man in black on both cheeks.The blows caused blood to spill from the man's mouth and nose. He was left dizzy and missing several teeth before the beating ceased."I'll ask, and you guys answer. If y
