With a heavy thud, Eugene fell to his knees and said, "My lord, I apologize. I failed to complete the task." "What?" Dubond opened his eyes and looked at the kneeling Eugene, frowning. "Eugene, you've disappointed me. Layton is dead, and the Robert family is now defenseless. I sent you to eliminate the Robert family, but instead, you defied my orders." As he spoke, a cold glint flashed in Dubond's eyes. He angrily added, "What use do I have for you?" "No, my lord, please let me explain. Layton may be dead, but the Robert family has gained a new dragon clan cultivator named Trevor Penn. I don't know how, but he's now part of the Robert family. I used the talisman to conceal myself and fought him, but he instantly saw through it and forced me back with a single strike. I can't defeat him alone. However, if you allow Fred to accompany me, I think…" Before Eugene could finish, Dubond suddenly appeared in front of him, grabbing his throat and lifting him off the ground. He coldly
"No need!" Dubond gritted his teeth, understanding that Eugene was determined to escape, even at the cost of his life. Even if Fred managed to track him down in Walker Town, a fierce battle would surely ensue between them, and the outcome would likely be Eugene's death and Fred being seriously injured. Dubond knew that Eugene was well aware of the consequences of his escape. It was a fate worse than death, filled with pain and despair. Thus, Dubond knew Eugene would not return. Rather than risking Fred's injury, Dubond decided it was better to have him test Trevor. Dubond understood that if the enemy were not extremely powerful, Eugene would not have fled. Therefore, Eugene's escape only confirmed that Trevor was a formidable cultivator. As Dubond and Fred headed back, Dubond instructed, "Fred, go to the Robert family estate immediately and gather information for me. I want to know just how strong this Trevor really is." "Yes, my lord." "And remember, don't engage in a dea
Wilbur turned around and saw that Liam, standing nearby, was already dumbfounded, his expression filled with horror. "They… They actually sent someone to attack at night! Trevor, how did you know Dubond would send someone?" Hearing this, Wilbur's lips curled into a slight smile as he replied, "Lord Liam, I once heard in a tavern about the Warren family's leader, Dubond. People say that Dubond is ruthless and never leaves anyone a chance. Although Eugene retreated, I was certain he would still send someone else. And sure enough, he sent Fred." "Yes, that's true. Dubond is indeed a cruel man." Liam nodded, then suddenly looked puzzled and said, "But wait, if Dubond was going to send someone, he should have sent Eugene and Fred together. Why did only Fred come, and not Eugene?" "I don't know, but don't worry, Lord Liam. You can all rest well for the next few days. Leave the matters of the Warren and Andrew families to me." "And what about you?" "I will take this time to cultiv
Dubond and Fred were escorted to the grand hall by the guards. After waiting for a short while, Bruno Andrew strolled in, smiling from afar as he said, "Lord Dubond, it's been almost a month since we last met, hasn't it?" Dubond looked at Bruno with a smile and replied, "Lord Bruno, I've been waiting for quite some time." Bruno took Dubond by the hand, and the two walked up to the center of the hall. Bruno said, "I've heard that the Robert family has a new dragon clan cultivator, and even Fred couldn't defeat him. You've come here because of that, haven't you?" "Indeed, I've come for exactly that reason." "So, you want me to send someone to help you, to join forces and eliminate this dragon clan cultivator, correct?" Dubond nodded and said, "Lord Bruno, do you remember our agreement? Back then, I promised you a million gold coins to drive the Robert family into a desperate situation. But now…" Bruno suddenly interrupted Dubond, saying, "Lord Dubond, I already sent people to
Now, with only one talisman practitioner remaining in the Warren family, if the Robert family were to be destroyed, only the Warren and Andrew families would remain among the nine great families. A conflict between the two families would be inevitable. For the past two years, Dubond had focused all his attention on dealing with the Robert family, neglecting the potential threat posed by the Andrew family. Today, Eugene's escape and Bruno's words made Dubond realize this. Therefore, Dubond did not want to wait until the next day. He intended to take Stilwell and Lawson to the Robert family's residence that very night. Once there, he planned to have Stilwell and Lawson take the lead in the battle. This time, Trevor would surely die, and even if Stilwell and Lawson survived, they would be severely injured. However, based on Fred's understanding of Dubond, he estimated that in the upcoming battle, one of the two, Stilwell or Lawson, would likely die. After all, only by doing so cou
"Hahaha!" Seeing this, Dubond threw his head back and laughed, his face full of excitement as he said, "Trevor, it seems your strength isn't all that impressive. I thought even with the four of us joining forces, we might not be able to defeat you. But now, it looks like you'll surely fall into our hands today." Wilbur staggered as he stood up from the rubble, clutching his abdomen, and spat out a mouthful of blood. Seeing the remnants of the talisman on his abdomen, Wilbur was deeply shocked. He had never taken a direct hit from a talisman cultivator before. Now, after taking a blow, he realized just how powerful the attacks of talisman cultivators could be. Gritting his teeth, he said, "It seems I underestimated you all this time. But now, I won't make that mistake again." With that, Wilbur's figure flickered as he charged at Dubond with his Magic Dragon Blade. Seeing this, Dubond tossed out a talisman, which quickly spun in the air, forming a gray defensive wall. When Wilbu
At the same time, Stilwell and Lawson launched an attack on Wilbur. Wilbur released the dragon energy within him, causing a white dragon to materialize and coil around him. In the next moment, Wilbur caught Stilwell and Lawson's strikes with each of his hands. The powerful energy from the two attacks was absorbed into Wilbur's body. He then swiftly pulled back his hands, clenched his fists, and unleashed the Dragon Spell by punching into the void before him. Two white dragons appeared out of nowhere, their forms flickering as they coiled around Stilwell and Lawson. After several consecutive strikes, there were two loud explosions. Stilwell and Lawson were simultaneously blown apart, their remains scattered across the ground. "What?" Fred, witnessing this, looked shocked and quickly turned to Dubond, saying, "Lord Dubond, now…" Before Fred could finish his sentence, Dubond was already in front of him, grabbing Fred by the collar, glaring at him as he said, "What, are you sca
The violent sword energy swept across with a roar. An explosion occurred the moment it collided with the Black-Winged Flying Tiger, dispersing the sword energy. However, the Black-Winged Flying Tiger remained unscathed and continued charging toward Wilbur at an incredible speed. Bang! The Black-Winged Flying Tiger rammed into Wilbur's abdomen, sending him flying backward over ten meters. Wilbur was propelled rapidly into the sky by a powerful force. "Damn it." Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Wilbur halted his movement and released the power of the dark space law within him. Instantly, a black vortex appeared. In the next moment, the Black-Winged Flying Tiger charged forward. Wilbur roared, and the black vortex suddenly expanded several times, swallowing the Black-Winged Flying Tiger whole. The vortex quickly shrank, and Wilbur descended slowly from the sky. Dubond, who had been waiting below, saw that Wilbur was still alive. He placed a talisman in his rig
