Wrenly had lost her parents early on, growing up with only her brother Trajan for company. His importance to her was beyond words. Suddenly, a towering figure strode into the room, his scorn for Garna's words evident in his scoffing. That newcomer was clearly mixed-race, with striking features and gray eyes that held a chilling glint. "General Chava, aren't you blowing this out of proportion? We're talking about a mere commander from Biskeland. With our ranks filled with warriors of God of War caliber, are we really worried about taking down Pendragon's top dog?" No sooner had he finished speaking than an intense aura of menace radiated from him, sending a shiver through the room as if the temperature had just dropped.Another shadowy figure, Fly Drakon, radiating a deadly aura, strode into the room and declared in an icy voice, "Absolutely! With all of us elite God of War warriors teaming up, how could we not take down King Pendragon? The moment King Pendragon dares to step for
"So, I hope you'll remember the promise you've made. If you fail to keep it after everything, I'll be sure to make you pay the price, no matter who you are!" Garna barked.The person on the other end of the call fell silent for half a minute after he heard what Garna said. Then, he answered in a cold voice, "Of course, General Chava. I am a man of my word. I will certainly do whatever I've promised you. I hope you won't let me down, General Chava."Also, I've split the hundred and fifty million dollars into two transactions and transferred them into your account and also your international bank account in Rochistan."As for the other terms, they'll be fulfilled after you take Liam's life!"Upon saying that, the person hung up the call.…Meanwhile, Liam snuck into Nexus Town through the western entrance and disguised himself quickly in a quiet corner.Liam was originally dressed in black. He then put on some gray clothes that the locals would wear over his existing clothes. He r
It was after Liam sat across from the man that he said with a smile, "I wonder what I can do for you, King Pendragon."Liam accepted the drink, but he did not have any of it. Instead, he looked at the grinning man with an icy expression and went straight to the point. "I need you to help me take care of something—the people in town who have been tailing me."The man laughed and replied, "This joke is not funny at all, King Pendragon. I'm sure you know that people from the nations at the borders have had their eyes on you ever since you came into Nexus Town. "Among them, the people from Koron were the most active. That's because I've got the news that Garna has gathered many strong fighters of God of War caliber on Grand Pendragon Hill. He has gathered a hundred thousand elite soldiers from the other two countries as well. They are just waiting for you to fall into their trap."The man looked at Liam with a mysterious smile upon saying that.Liam put on a faint smile as well, swir
The bodyguards who were in the room were trained in combat and were quite powerful. However, they did not see how Liam got to the back of Clyde at all.It was too terrifying.At that moment, Clyde had the frosty dagger pressed against his neck. His forehead was instantly covered with a thin layer of cold sweat.Clyde let out a couple of forced chuckles, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and signaled the bodyguards to back off with his eyes.Then, he said with a smile, "Please stay calm, King Pendragon. Keep calm."Seeing that, Liam pumped his eyebrows and said nothing. Then, he took the dagger away from Clyde's neck, turned around, and sat on the couch again.Clyde wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and walked toward his desk, picking up the satellite phone and making a call.As soon as the call was answered, Clyde said, "Get rid of those people who have been tailing Kind Pendragon in town immediately!"Clyde hung up the call upon saying that. He showed Liam the phone in his
Liam organized his backpack and climbed up to the hilltop next to Grand Pendragon Hill, which was higher.Liam crouched in a bush and took out the binoculars from his backpack. He was looking down at the environment of Grand Pendragon Hill, as well as Garna's strategies and defenses.He was deep in a dense forest, but he still saw at a glance the military helicopters, armored cars, and jeeps parked at the base of the hill. There were many guard posts for patrols in the surroundings, as well as drones flying back and forth in the air.In the meantime, many soldiers were getting ready for battle not far away.Liam frowned as he looked at the environment, munching on field ration while pondering about the next countermeasures.He never would have cared too much if he encountered this in the past. He would have the guts to barge in there and face a troop that was several hundred thousand strong.However, things were different at that moment. Calum was still in their hands. Liam did
Liam, the culprit, was long gone.At that moment, Liam already left the base and gone halfway up Grand Pendragon Hill. He quickly moved to the military base according to the location marked on the layout plan.Looking at the layout plan, Liam figured out that Calum was locked up in the dungeon of the military base halfway up the hill. There were hundreds of soldiers in full tactical gear keeping watch in the surroundings.The military base was heavily guarded as well.Their intentions were very clear. They wanted to use Calum as bait to make Liam go to the summit of the Grand Pendragon Hill.There was a flat surface that was about 100 square meters at the summit. There was only one way up as the other three sides were cliffs.At that moment, the eight expert fighters of God of War caliber were standing on the summit. They were sneering as they watched the explosion at the base at the bottom of the hill.Wrenly was playing with her braids as she looked at the explosion. Her smile
"Since he has entered Grand Pendragon Hill, he certainly can't be far. Search the entire hill!" Garna commanded."Yes, sir!" answered the soldier, who then saluted Garna respectfully and left the office.Soon, armored cars after armored cars drove out of the military base. Drones after drones flew out into the surroundings from the base as well.Meanwhile, Liam, whom everyone was searching for, was already dressed in the military uniform like the others and infiltrated the search party.Liam's face was covered in camouflage face paint, so his face was disguised. He looked at Garna, who was looking furious as he stood at the entrance of the military base a few hundred meters away. Then, a faint sneer slowly appeared on Liam's face.They were so near each other. If Liam wanted to, it would be a piece of cake to kill Garna.However, Liam could not do anything rash at that moment. His primary goal was to rescue Calum.After Liam infiltrated the big search troop, he found a chance to
The major saluted Liam and looked at him with a sullen face. His tone was icy as he said, "Please pardon me if my attitude has offended you, sir. This is a special time, after all. Now, please tell me the secret code."The major put his hand on the gun on his waist, ready to draw it at any time as he spoke.Liam frowned after he heard that the major wanted the secret code. The mood became incredibly tense in an instant.The leader and the soldiers felt something was off as well. All of them hugged their guns and looked at Liam with a solemn expression.Seeing that Liam stood in place without saying the secret code, the major walked toward Liam slowly and said, "Please tell us the secret code, sir."In the next second, Liam suddenly drew his gun from his waist and shot the major.The major collapsed in an instant, bleeding from the gunshot wound on his forehead.Liam fired another shot again, shooting the left shoulder of the soldier closest to him. The soldier let out a scream
