Jaxson stood there impatiently, knowing Adrian was trying to assert authority. But he chose not to protest and remained quiet. When Adrian finally spoke, Jaxson felt relieved and sat down. The guards behind him frowned as they moved to stand behind Jaxson."Do you know why I summoned you here, Jaxson?" Adrian asked calmly."Your subordinate, Daim, mobilized troops without permission and attacked Flying Dragon Manor. What should be done about this?" Adrian's gaze was cold as he focused on Jaxson.Zector dragged Daim out from behind the couch and threw him onto the floor. Daim was still unconscious, so Zector grabbed a cup and smashed it on Daim’s head. The cup shattered loudly into pieces."Ouch! Who hit me?!" Daim shouted, sitting up abruptly. He looked disheveled, with tea and blood on his enraged face."Where am I?" Daim stood up angrily, confused until he noticed Zector smirking with arms crossed, and Adrian sitting calmly on the couch."You… You massacred the Hydes! As Silver
The words sent chills down everyone's spine, making them tremble.Zain, now pale with fright and far from his previous wild demeanor, wept bitterly. He crawled to Adrian's feet, repeatedly begging for mercy, "Adrian... No, Mr. Adrian. I beg you, spare me. Please spare me."Thud! Thud! Thud!The sound of Zain knocking on the ground with his forehead echoed continuously, but Adrian ignored Zain and turned his gaze to Jaxson, making his intention clear: Zain must die today.Although Jaxson appeared to side with Adrian since he entered, speaking up for him and dismissing Zain from his position, it was all a facade. He had avoided the key issue, never stating how he intended to punish Zain. Was simply dismissing him enough to atone for his sins?If it weren't for Zector and the Dark Knight at Flying Dragon Mansion today, judging by Zain's character, he might have slaughtered everyone in the manor, including Solomon and his daughter Flora.Jaxson scowled. He hadn't expected Adrian to b
‘How is Adrian this powerful?!’ Jaxson roared in his heart. Just as his knees were about to touch the ground, he finally yielded."I...I will kill him," Jaxson answered despondently.Fifteen minutes later, at Flying Dragon Mansion…After Jaxson left, Adrian stood there indifferently, his heart devoid of emotion. He noticed a powerful aura emerging behind him. A mocking smile appeared on his face as a majestic pressure suddenly erupted."I'm curious, where does your confidence come from?" he questioned.Those standing behind him immediately felt an exceptionally terrifying pressure. Appearing at this moment were individuals called the Septacolor Envoys, belonging to a powerful force.Feeling Adrian’s aura, the Septacolor Envoys' expressions turned grim as if facing a formidable enemy. "Damn it, how is he so strong?" they muttered.The Septacolor Envoys looked at Adrian, emitting an overwhelming momentum. Their hearts sank gradually, and their gazes became solemn.The leader in
"Ah! You bastard!" The pen pinned the black-masked man’s foot firmly to the ground, and fresh blood flowed into the cracks between the floor tiles.The ground, paved with square tiles, cracked open like glass. The black-masked man's heart and body trembled violently as he inhaled a cold breath.‘Is this man even human?’ he cried silently.The pen had erupted with the power of a sharp arrow."Tell me, who sent you to kill me?" Adrian walked slowly toward the man, his steps leisurely and casual.The black-masked man's gaze was ferocious, veins bulging on his forehead. He waved, and a crossbow mechanism suddenly appeared in his hand, the black muzzle exuding a dangerous aura."Hehe, you'll find out in the afterlife,” he growled.Bang! Bang! Bang!A maniacal grin spread across the black-masked man's lips as he was filled with the insane joy of avenging his hatred. "Hahaha! Adrian, no matter how formidable you are, you'll die under my attack!"In his mind, he envisioned Adrian lyin
The black-masked man gritted his teeth against the pain, his face contorted. Despite his extreme fear, he still refused to speak, only letting out weak and agonizing cries.The coldness in Adrian's eyes deepened, and with another stomp, crushed the black-masked man's right thigh. This time, the black-masked man finally begged for mercy, "Ah! I'll talk! Just give me a quick death!"Adrian stopped, his icy gaze fixed on the black-masked man, silent and filled with killing intent.The black-masked man was terrified. Lying in a pool of blood, he gasped for breath like a dying dog, struggling to breathe. At this moment, Adrian's presence filled him with dread. This man seemed like the Grim Reaper crawling out of hell, devoid of any emotion.Barely conscious, the black-masked man struggled to breathe. "It's...It was the Cross family. They ordered us to kill you."‘The Cross family?’ Adrian narrowed his eyes, adding the Crosses to his death list."Who are you people? Where is your hea
At Abry Hills...A Dark Knight approached Adrian, bursting with excitement as he reported, "Mr. Adrian, there's a stronghold up ahead, approximately fifty people." His eyes shimmered with fervor and awe.Adrian gently patted the Dark Knight's shoulder and spoke kindly, "Well done. Rest for now. Let the second team begin their operation." He then turned to the other Dark Knights. "To the rest of the teams, conduct a thorough search. If you encounter resistance, eliminate it. We'll meet at their headquarters."Encouraged by Adrian's instructions, the young Dark Knight saluted earnestly, his excitement palpable. "Yes, sir."After an hour of swift action, Adrian's Dark Knights had completely eradicated all the small and large outposts surrounding the Black King League's headquarters. Thirty outposts, with over eight hundred occupants, fell to the surprise attacks of Adrian's elite soldiers. Not a single enemy soldier was spared.Adrian's Dark Knights were seasoned veterans, each capab
The headquarters of the Black King League was hidden within Abry Hills, nearly taking up the entire range.After killing the last outpost guard, the Dark Knights callously kicked aside the lifeless bodies and drew their Darkblades. Five teams of Dark Knights met up, lining up in front of a massive steel door embedded in the mountain wall, resembling soldiers awaiting inspection."Mr. Adrian, all the Dark Knights have returned. Please give us your instructions.”Adrian, dressed in a black robe, stood before the Dark Knights and nodded with satisfaction. He glanced at the towering steel door and said, "Blast it open.""Yes, Mr. Adrian," the Dark Knights responded in unison.Just as they were preparing to detonate, a massive ax flew through the air, viciously cutting toward three Dark Knights.The three Dark Knights noticed the ax immediately. They frowned and unsheathed their swords without hesitation. Their pitch-black Darkblades clashed with the giant ax, creating intense sparks
"General!""Protect the general! Kill these bastards!""Attack!"Ebonie collapsed with a resounding thud, his gaze gradually losing focus. Blood spilled from his mouth, his lips twitching as if trying to say something.‘How... How is this possible?’ Ebonie couldn't believe it even in death. With his formidable strength, he never expected to die in such a miserable manner.Ebonie died with his eyes wide open. The densely packed Sablewind soldiers trampled over his corpse, roaring angrily as they clashed fiercely with the solemn Dark Knights ahead of them.In the instant of collision, large numbers of Sablewind soldiers fell like wheat before a scythe. They realized that these few Dark Knights in front of them, though few in number, were incredibly powerful. They were like reapers of death, taking down one soldier after another with each strike.The shadow of death loomed over their hearts, and the screams of their comrades tormented the Sablewind soldiers incessantly. After a fie
