The Wrath of the Dragon Duke.
I have conquered nations, subdued entire populations.
Everyone from the Eastern plains to the Northern colonies fear me.
But they don't know me.
My name is Lloyd Bishop, and I am the Dragon Duke, The greatest enforcer of the kingdom of Tekka.
10 years ago, I watched from the closet, where I witnessed my entire family be gunned down in the city of Hilburg.
My father and uncle, shot by a man with a dragon tattoo on his arm, who then burned down our home.
I managed to escape, but I died from smoke poisoning.
My life would be saved by a young girl, Lisa Francis, who brought me back to life and showed me the way out of the city.
That was a decade ago. I left everything behind that day, my 3 childhood friends, and Lisa, a girl I didn't even know yet.
In the time since, everything has changed, I was now more powerful than ever before, but the rage of my family's murder hadn't been quelled.
And now I have returned to this city that took everything from me, and my mission is clear.
Reconnect with my childhood friends, repay the girl who saved my life.
But most importantly, I will show those responsible for my parent's death…
THE WRATH OF THE DRAGON DUKE!

Chapter: Chapter 89 : Assasins AssaultThe Past three weeks had been… quietAlmost too quiet.Since Martin Lance’s investment had stabilized Francis Steel, the constant pressure from the Numa family had seemingly subsided. No more financial attacks, No more open threats, Lisa’s lawsuit against the Numas was progressing swiftly, and for the first time in a long while, she could breathe without fear.Lloyd however, knew that they could absolutely not get comfortable.This was a common tactic used by assasins, to not strike when expected and then let the target calm down for a long time, before striking unexpectedly.He knew that there could only be one reason for the peace they seemingly had now The Numa's were planning something.That morning, Lisa stood before the mirror in her bedroom, combing her fingers through her long brown hair. She had been so caught up in work and stress that she hadn’t had a moment to take care of herself.She turned toward Lloyd, who was sitting on the bed, flipping through a thick folder fill

Chapter: Chapter 88 : Questionable InvestmentThe air in the Francis Steel boardroom was thick with tension, the kind that clung to the skin like humidity before a thunderstorm. The entire Francis family, including Lisa, sat around the long conference table, their eyes fixed on the man seated at the head.Martin Lance.One of the wealthiest investment bankers in the country, a man whose presence alone commanded attention.Lisa, still unsure why she had been asked to attend this meeting, sat stiffly beside Harold.Her hands were clasped together in her lap, a mixture of confusion and curiosity swirling inside her.Martin leaned back in his chair, his fingers lightly drumming against the polished mahogany table. Then, with a slight smirk, he finally spoke.“I’ll get straight to the point” he said sharply"I heard about Francis Steel’s recent… financial troubles, and I’d like to investment into your company" he said The family all gazed at each other in confusion."How much are we talking here?" asked Eleanor"one hundred million

Chapter: Chapter 87 : I.O.ULisa sat curled up on the edge of her bed, knees tucked to her chest, staring blankly at the window. The room was dim, the heavy curtains drawn shut, as if blocking out the rest of the world. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and her body felt weak, drained of all the energy she had left.For the past day, she had refused to leave this room.No matter how much Lloyd tried to comfort her, no matter how many times he told her things would be okay, she couldn’t bring herself to believe him.And this hurt her even more, beacuse he'd always been there for her, he'd always helped her, so it almost felt like a betrayal of the man she loved most.Everything seemed to work out when she was with Lloyd, but this time, no matter how much she thought, she couldn't see how he couldn't fix this Everything was falling apart.The Francis family was at the brink of ruin, and even though she had spent her entire life trying to earn their approval, they now saw her as nothing more than a liab

Chapter: Chapter 86 : At Wits EndJohn Francis sat in his study, his fingers steepled under his chin, his face lined with exhaustion.The dim glow of the desk lamp cast long shadows over the room, illuminating the deep creases in his forehead. His usually immaculate hair was slightly disheveled, a rare sight for the proud patriarch of the Francis family.For the past week, he had barely slept, as every time he closed his eyes, all he could see was the destruction...the firebombed estate, the ruthless thugs stripping their home of its valuables.The humiliation of watching everything he had built being seized by Numa’s men like they were nothing more than common debtors, made John's aged heart ache heavily.He exhaled sharply, he had to control himself.It was Lisa... but not just her...Lisa and that bastard Simon Harland.The moment she stepped into Francis Steel, the moment she brought that man into their home, everything had gone to hell.John knew it wasn't just her that could be blamed, he approved of Simon's ma

Chapter: Chapter 85 : Chapter 11Lisa sat at the large oak desk in her bedroom, flipping through pages of legal documents with a heavy sigh.The past two months had been exhausting... court dates, press conferences, endless paperwork.The case against the Numas was progressing, but slowly, as expected, Henry Numa’s legal team fought tooth and nail, using every trick in the book to delay proceedings, bury evidence, or outright intimidate her into dropping the case.None of it worked...Lisa was scared, of course, but she refused to back down, at least, that’s what she told herself... In truth she just didn't want to let down Lloyd since he believed in her so muchShe rubbed her temples, exhaustion creeping in. Her shoulder ached from the long hours of hunching over legal documents, but she couldn't afford to slow down, the next court date was in two days, and she had to be prepared.She was about to take a break when a loud crash sounded from outside.Lisa jumped in her chair, her heart hammering.What was that?!Ano

Chapter: Chapter 84 : Final WarningLisa sat at her desk, staring down at the neatly stacked files in front of her. Her new office was quiet, save for the occasional rustling of papers as she sorted through the final details for the day’s hearing. It had been two weeks since she resigned from Francis Steel and officially launched her law firm, but the transition had been anything but smooth.Her family had not taken her lawsuit against the Numas well.Every day since the announcement, they had called, messaged, and even shown up at her office, pestering her to drop the case. At first, they tried to guilt her, telling her she was ruining the family’s reputation, when that didn’t work, they resorted to threats...warning her that she would regret siding against them.And yet, despite everything, she still couldn’t bring herself to hate them.At this point all she had to do was win the sLawsuit, that way her family would forgive her for everything, since the Numa's wouldn't be able to come after her anymore.Although so

Chapter: Chapter 111 : EpilogueBoth Dean and Richard stood outside of the Phillips family mansion, neither man saying a word to each other for several minutes.At long last, Christopher Newton, the main man responsible for everything that had happened to him and his family, was finally dead.However, he didn't feel fulfilled, not quite yet... because his revenge was not yet complete."The Hudson's" Dean finally said, as Richard turned to look at him."What?" asked Richard, not exactly sure what Dean was trying to say."The Hudson's are the last piece of this puzzle, they're the last of the four heavenly kings of Reville, responsible for the death of our mother... for the death of our family" said Dean.Richard sighed, the Hudson's were an enigma, even to a detective such as himself.They ran the Hudson petroleum company, an oil drilling and processing company that owned many refineries, plants and facilities, with the largest one being located right

Chapter: Chapter 110 : War of the elites Dean awoke at the Hamilton family residence.Neither he nor Mia had gotten any real amount of sleep, as the entire family was completely freaking out over what had happened to them last night.What's worse, their panic became even greater when they saw Mia return to the house without Dean, in a car riddled with bullet holes.Dean couldn't help but stare at the recording box Richard had sent to him several days earlier.The box had contained an emergency message from his father, a message for his two sons, informing them of all the events that were transpiring between the Bradson family, and the other members of the four heavenly kings of Reville.Richard had gotten the box through his years of investigating the Dean of their family, and it was the key to how he had acquired all the information he told Dean about.Dean knew that the danger hadn't passed from last night, he could feel it in his gut.However, after everything th

Chapter: Chapter 109 : Assasination Attempt "Well well well, if it isn't crippled Mia" said Raymond as he slowly approached Mia's table.Dean turned to stare at the man in anger, not appreciating how he had just spoken to his wife."What the hell do you want Raymond?" asked Mia, annoyed, while also trying to not escalate the conversation."What's the matter Mia?, I mean you no harm... I'm just here to congratulate you on getting your legs back, I mean when I heard it had happened I couldn't believe my ears, but I guess now that I see it... my eyes do not deceive me" replied Raymond, his voice maintained a mocking tone throughout his reply."Well thanks a lot Raymond, you've seen me... I've got my legs back, so please leave me alone" pleaded Mia, as she desperately tried to get the man away from her.However, her attempts proved futile, as Raymond wouldn't let up.Chuckling lightly, Raymond said, "Even after everything your family has done, you still end up here, at the cor

Chapter: Chapter 108 : A high stakes party Christopher Newton sat on his office chair with his face buried in his palms.This was absolutely not how he thought everything would be going one year later.Ever since the assasination of his father by those unknown culprits, it seemed like his entire world had been turned upside down.Culprits whose identities, he still did not know.This ached him in his heart more than he had ever thought possible.He had hoped that he would have been able to uncover their identities by now, but they were like ghosts... invisible to everyone and everything.It seemed like everything that could have gone wrong had ended up going wrong, and now he was losing everything he thought he'd have by now.After the destruction of the Phillips security building, Christopher had seen the perfect chance to increase his power, and the power of his entire family by essentially buying out the Phillips family.However, due to Eric Phillips stubb

Chapter: Chapter 107 : The hunt for legacy Dean awoke from his slumber, his head pounding heavily from all the thinking he did the previous night.He looked to his side to see Mia lying there, sleeping happily without a care in the world, and as much as he had always promised himself that he would do everything in his power to keep it that way, he slowly began to feel like perhaps he wouldn't have enough power to protect Mia as well as he would have hoped.Dean looked at his watch, and the time was 5:17 am, usually, Dean would start doing his routine exercises at this time, but instead he remained in bed thinking about everything that had happened over the last three days.The shocking revelation that Richard Dawkins, the man he had just been trying to kill two days ago was his brother, still haunted him.It felt like a dream, one he could never be wake up from.After Richard Dawkins had explained to Dean that he was his brother, both men had realized that there was no longer any point

Chapter: Chapter 106 : The big reveal Dean couldn't believe what he had just heard Richard say, and by the look on Richards face, even he was just as confused as he was.Even Carlos had quickly walked over to where his boss and Dawkins were, so that he could confirm if he had indeed heard what he thought he heard "What did you just say?" asked Dean as he tightened the grip on his blade lightly.Seeing that Dean had let his guard down, Richard quickly knocked the knife out of his hand and pushed him away.Dean slammed his fist on the ground the moment he saw that Richard had once again escaped from him."OH, is that what this was?... A TRICK!?" yelled Dean, enraged with himself that he had fallen for such a cheap trick.However, unlike before, Richard wasn't trying to run away anymore.Instead, he just stood a few feet away from Dean, clutching injured shoulder, and staring at Dean.Dean noticed this and was slightly taken aback by it, but even more than
