Ace shuddered at Xayne’s command, asking gravely, "Sir, how many personnel should we deploy? Shall we mobilize from the Venzor Military Headquarters?"A raging chill consumed Xayne. He frowned and said, "Mobilize the Northern Plains's thirty thousand Star Troopers and depart immediately! Utilize all transportation equipment from the military and deploy them twenty miles outside the Yostow province!""T-Thirty...thousand Star Troopers?!" Ace appeared solemn yet determined.The Star Troopers were the last line of defense for Drakonia’s border. They vowed to defend Drakonia with their lives. These warriors would stand firm even if a million-strong army attacked. They were the most powerful battalion in the Northern Plains army.Each of these Star Troopers soldiers was courageous and highly skilled in battle. They obeyed a single person—the King of the North. Without his orders, the Star Troopers would not budge from the Northern Plains."Yes, sir! I'll mobilize the troops now!" Ace b

Footsteps echoed at the door as Xayne and the Dracarium Warriors entered the conference room. He took the main seat, initially designated for Gareth, who now sat in a lower position. Once Xayne sat, the rest followed.Gareth asked, "Supreme Commander, may I ask what brings you to Yostow province so late at night?"Xayne swept his sharp gaze across the room, where the most influential figures of Yostow province gathered. He snapped his fingers, and Deuce stepped forward with an overwhelming aura.He declared, "The Supreme Commander's visit to Covelly has only one purpose. After careful consideration, I hope you will all respond accordingly."Gareth felt uneasy upon hearing Duece’s words. The former knew they had arranged this meeting to exclude the Yowes.Malcolm from the Attaway family, one of the five prominent families of Clovelly, said, "Sir, we will do our utmost to assist however possible. Rest assured, we are at your service.”Deuce glanced at Xayne and addressed the others

Meanwhile, the four elders of the Drakonia council looked concerned.Hammond roared, "The Yowes are outrageous for plotting against Xayne! To defy Drakonia is a crime deserving of the destruction of nine generations."Notify the Yostow province's leader and warn the Yowes to devise a substantial compensation plan. We must appease the wrath of the Supreme Commander. Otherwise, Yostow province will be without the Yowes!"His military aide responded, "Yes, sir!""Wait!" Hammond halted the departing aide gravely. "Report the situation in the Northern Plains Military.""Yes!" The military aide saluted, then left the Drakonia council's conference room.Hammon took a deep breath as he glanced at Warren, sitting at the head. The former asked, "What's your take on this?"Warren remained silent before saying, "Do you think that kid will forgive the Yowes, considering his temperament?"The other three elders trembled at his words. Hammond’s heart sank as he asked, "Warren, what are you su

Maximillian’s statement caused the atmosphere in the grand hall to grow tense. Each family member looked outraged and determined.Maximilian’s younger brother said, “Don’t be sad, Kimberly. With your father and uncle’s support, no one will lay a finger on our family. None can harm our family’s bloodline and live to tell the tale.“Even Kenneth, Harold, and Linford can’t withstand our family’s fury." Brennan, the second elder of the Yowes, was a well-known figure in the province. All the underground tycoons of the Yostow province were pawns nurtured by Brennan. While Maximillian was a prominent figure on the surface, Brennan was the most revered figure among the underground forces of the province’s nine cities. People often called him Big Bren, the Yostow province’s overlord.Brennan's every move and word represented the will of all the underground powers. None of the underground tycoons dared to oppose him. He even resolved many matters his family couldn’t handle on the surface.

The Yowes stood up in surprise, looking toward the figures at the door. Leading the way was Xayne, and behind him were the other Drakarium Warriors. The eight figures disrupted the atmosphere.The Yowes’ enforcers entered from all directions, their fierce gazes on Xayne and his group. Maximilian rose to his feet and looked at the figures at the door.Maximilian sneered, “You must be Xayne. You’ve got balls to barge into my family’s villa with only a handful of people. Don’t you know that my family is the wealthiest in the Yostow province?”The various Yowe family members looked at Xayne and his companions disdainfully.“We never expected you to meet your doom personally. Hahaha! You saved us a lot of trouble finding you.”“Kimberly, we will make Tristan and Andre’s killer kneel before their graves and atone with his life.”"Hmph, how arrogant of you to show up here! You’re seeking death by intruding upon the villa!"The Yowes smirked with contempt for Xayne and his group. The Yo
