Roger Skylar is an essential figure in the dragon army. His name had echoed in this vast world, stirring the hearts of every opponent he faced. When he saw how Carson underestimated Roger, Sergio seemed to know a way out. The man before him must have been just an ordinary Centauri to not recognize a power like Roger Skylar.
Sergio was too happy to laugh, but he was also in pain. He felt his sternum shatter, and Sergio was unable to even stand up. Wayne also dared not move from his place because Darwis was still watching him.
He took his cell phone from his coat pocket and immediately called Roger Skylar.
"Mr. Roger, you're in South River, right?" asked Sergio hopefully. He heard that Roger had just arrived in this city because he was going to attend the wedding of one of Holy Dragon General.
"Yes, what is it?" came Roger's not-so-friendly voice to Sergio.
"Sir, there are members of the military bothering me," Sergio complained in a pleading voice. "I told him you were my master, but he didn't believe me," he continued.
There was a cold snort from Roger. "Alright, I'll be there."
The call was disconnected. A smile spread across Sergio's face. He had already seen how Roger fought. The way Roger beat his opponent was much more sadistic than what Carson did. If the two of them fought, he was sure Roger would emerge victorious.
On the other hand, Sergio felt sorry. If only he could recruit a talent like Carson to be his bodyguard, he would feel safe.
For almost twenty minutes, the room was silent. Carson sat beside Alisson and looked at the woman lovingly. While Sergio remained in place, not daring to make a sound for fear of triggering Carson's anger.
From the direction of the main road came the sound of military vehicle sirens. The smile on Sergio's face grew wider.
"This time, you will die!" said Sergio. His fear slowly disappeared.
"You will die soon!" Wayne also shouted. His fear soon disappeared.
"Not only you, but your whole family will die too!" Sergio shouted excitedly. "Remember, your family is dead! You dug their graves!"
Carson only glanced at him. He had nothing to worry about. Now that he was here, no one could touch his little family.
"Shut your mouths, or I'll do it by force!" Darwis snapped. Her ears were uncomfortable hearing the two's worthless ramblings. Moreover, he knew who Roger Skylar was meant to be by Sergio.
Not long after, there was the sound of approaching footsteps. Darwis stepped away from the door and stood next to Carson. He didn't want the surprise his master had prepared to end in vain.
Roger Skylar's face appeared among the soldiers wearing field uniforms. They even carried complete weapons like they were arresting terrorists.
"Sir, you've finally come!" Sergio crawled towards Roger.
Seeing Sergio's terrible condition, coupled with the other young man's bloodied and unconscious body, Roger was furious.
"Who did it?" Roger's voice sounded cold. He didn't like it when anyone touched his servant.
"Sir, give us justice. He beat up my second son and ruined his future." Sergio pleaded. "I told him I was your servant, but he ignored it.
A dense, murderous aura came out of Roger's body, making it difficult for Sergio and Wayne to breathe.
"Please help me get back at him, Mr. Skylar. He doesn't respect you."
Sergio was silent for a moment. He squeezed his hand. "Mr. Skylar, that man is evil. He says you are just a weak soldier, and he looks down on you as a cripple." He said out loud. "That man said he was much better than you, Mr. Skylar."
"Insolent!" snarled Roger. "In a small town like South River, who would dare insult me?" he continued. "All those years I fought on the battlefield to establish world peace, but he doesn't even respect me?"
Sergio looked down in fear, but inwardly, he smiled happily because he had managed to provoke Roger's emotions.
Sergio raised his hand and pointed at Carson's figure, who still had his back to him. "He's the culprit."
Roger turned his head. He felt familiar with the figure's back. His body shook for three seconds, precisely when he saw Darwis giving him a sharp look. If Darwis was here, there was only one possibility, which was the whereabouts of the Holy Dragon general.
Wayne confidently walked up to Roger. "Mr. Skylar, make him feel what my brother feels!" Wayne said. "He can't die right away! I want him to be tormented to the point of begging for his death!"
Roger turned around and looked at Wayne with a murderous glare.
A slap landed on Wayne's cheek, making him fall instantly. Blood poured out of his cheek.
Wayne did not expect Roger to do this to him. As for Sergio, he was so shocked when he saw Roger slapping his son.
"John, break his leg!" Roger's voice was cold. Wayne felt like his back was now electrified. Not only slapping, apparently, Roger also intended to break his leg.
The man called John immediately came forward and stood next to Wayne.
"Mr. Skylar!" Sergio crawled over and hugged Roger's legs. "Please, don't do that." He begged.
"Let go!" Roger shook his leg, which made Sergio fall.
However, Sergio did not give up. He prostrated himself and banged his head on the floor as he pleaded. "My other son is so badly injured and has already lost his future. Let go of my eldest son, please."
"Sir, don't do that, please." Wayne also pleaded. He did not want to be maimed. He looked at Sergio, begging his father for help. "Father, help me!"
Neither Roger nor John heard Sergio's plea. John grabbed Wayne's right leg and smashed it with his elbow. The sound of breaking bones and roars of pain filled the room.
Wayne's right leg drooped on the floor. The young man writhed in pain on the floor while clutching his right leg.
Roger didn't show any empathy. Instead, he approached Carson and spoke with his head bowed.
"Sir, I am guilty," Roger said regretfully. "Please give me a chance."
Roger was so scared that his body trembled. He had rarely used his power. However, when he tried to show his power to people, he offended his superior.
Carson didn't turn his head. He continued to hold Alisson's hand gently. His voice was so cold. "From now on, you are no longer my subordinate."
Roger raised his face, looking at Carson with an incredulous look. "Sir, please give me another chance."
Carson paid no attention to him, making Roger so frustrated. He dropped both knees to the floor and pleaded with Carson. "Sir, please give me another chance."
"We defend the integrity of this country so hard, every day losing our military brothers on the battlefield," Carson spoke coldly. "However, you used the power you gained from our brothers' sacrifice so arrogantly."
Carson sounded so disappointed. Roger couldn't hold back his tears anymore. "Sir, I'm sorry, I won't do it again."
Sergio really can't move from where he's standing right now. He felt a great fear pouncing on him like a bear had clawed him. If Roger bowed down to Carson, this man was no ordinary man.
Sergio's body shivered, his eyes turning black. He seemed to be facing the destruction of his world.
Alisson's eyebrows twitched. Her forehead suddenly wrinkled. Slowly but surely, Alisson opened her eyes. She saw the figure she loved so much sitting in front of her and looking at her lovingly. "Even in dreams, you are so sweet," Alisson sneered. The smile that she always remembered, the smile that always appeared from the fragments of her dreams for the past six years. Six years after her husband left, there was no way he was coming back, right? Alisson buried her head back into the pillow. With a slightly rambling voice, Alisson added. "If you're only coming to leave again, don't ever show up in my life again." Carson's whole soul was in turmoil. Was Alisson so miserable that she couldn't believe this was real? Was she that miserable? Carson's heart shattered into tiny pieces. He felt he had failed as a husband. He gently caressed Alisson's face. She couldn't hold back her tears anymore. Carson shed his tears, but he quickly wiped them away. His voice was soft and filled with
Darwis had tracked the video sender's cell phone and provided Carson with the coordinates. In addition to the coordinates, Darwis also provided details of the property owner. Carson punched the steering wheel hard when he found out the house belonged to Lucy, his wife's cousin. He used Roger's jeep and drove it at high speed. With military plates and special sirens, all passing cars immediately pulled over and gave way. A text message with a link came in, followed by a short message written by Darwis.“General, mayday! Look." Carson immediately pressed the link connected to the live broadcast on social media. His anger peaked when he saw the contents of the video. Meanwhile, Lucy forcibly brought Charlotte to the rooftop of her house. Her little bare feet stepped onto the house's rooftop, which was hot from the summer sun. Lucy forced Charlotte to walk barefoot even though the child looked in pain. Then, she tied Charlotte to a chair. The child's face was slightly swollen and red
"Savage!" Carson immediately ran over to Lucy and slapped her hard. Lucy, who was busy greeting her audience, did not notice Carson's arrival. "Bastard!" cursed Lucy, holding her cheeks that were red from Carson's slap. Carson kicked the cell phone used for live broadcasting and destroyed it instantly. "Who are you to slap me!" Lucy shouted angrily. She was the daughter of the Baker family, raised in comfort and security. Not a single person dared to treat her badly. Carson ignored Lucy's question. He walked over to Charlotte and looked at the child's condition. "Lotte... dear ...." Part of Charlotte's face was crushed, and her head was also bleeding. Carson's heart broke when he saw how bad his daughter's condition was. He took off his shirt and used it to bandage the wound on his daughter's head. "Hang in there, baby." He said. Carson looked at his daughter with regret. If only he had arrived earlier, his daughter would not have been injured like this. A wave of anger exp
Charlotte's eyebrows quivered, and she slowly opened her eyes. She was stunned to see a strange man sitting in front of her. Charlotte tried to get up, but her whole body ached. Charlotte initially felt a little scared, but when she remembered that the figure in front of her was her helper, her fear instantly disappeared. She then asked, "Uncle ... did you help me?" Charlotte asked. Her voice was so weak. "Thank you," she continued.Seeing Charlotte finally wake up after a period of unconsciousness, Carson felt very happy. However, when he heard his daughter call him uncle, Carson was so sad. He took Charlotte's hand and touched it gently. "Dear Lotte, this is Daddy," Carson said. He smiled with emotion. He couldn't take it anymore and burst into tears. His heart was filled with happiness when he finally met his daughter. The expected meeting would be filled with joy, but instead, he had to see his daughter, who was seriously injured. "Sorry... I'm sorry." Charlotte was shocked to
After medical treatment, Charlotte's condition improved somewhat. Seeing her daughter in pain while being treated it hit Carson hard. Charlotte's words were still ringing in Carson's head. He promised himself that he would protect Charlotte with everything he had. Even Heaven would fight Carson if it were to protect his beloved daughter. "I'm going home with my daughter and wife first. You drop us off.""Yes, sir." Darwis nodded, and he agreed. He went down first to prepare the car to take Carson's little family.After giving orders to Darwis, Carson approached Alison and Charlotte again. "Who was that man?" Alison asked. She was curious why the man was always helping them."He was my friend in the military. "We are good friends." Carson lied a little. "Really?" Alison was a little sceptical."I'm not lying. Come on, let's go home." Carson invited Alison to go home. Alison nodded. She got up, and Alison winced slightly as she felt her body still sore. She helped Charlotte to get
"You're ...." Paula just wanted to scold Carson. She still hasn't forgiven Carson for what happened in the past six years. It's just that suddenly the phone rang. Paula didn't finish her sentence and chose to pick up the ringing telephone. When she heard the one word that came out of it. Paula's heart immediately beat faster. Sweat dripped from her forehead slowly. Paula even fell silent for a minute. Her face looked pale and panicked. "Did you hear what I said?" The voice on the other side of the phone snapped at Paula. The person on the other end was angry that Paula was not responding. The woman on the phone was Alison's grandmother or Paula's mother in law. Her name was Nora. Paula swallowed. She calmed herself down first before answering. "Yes, I heard that, ma'am." "That's good. You should come here now because Mr. Marshal’s wedding has been advanced to tomorrow. Hurry up, I don't have time." Nora lowered her tone slightly after Paula's reply, but in part about asking Pa
"Darwis, can you get me the Marshall family's wedding invitation? I need it immediately."Without further ado, Darwis immediately nodded. "Very well, sir. I'll get it right away." Afterwards, Darwis immediately contacted everyone he knew to get the Marshall family's wedding invitation letter. He didn't want to disappoint Carson. As soon as possible, he will get it. Carson wanted to leave immediately. "Can you catch up with me after getting it? Don't take too long. I can't wait." Carson firmly said that. He walked to the car and drove to his grandmother's house. This time, he pushed himself. Not long after, Carson left there. Darwis got the invitation letter that Carson wanted. He immediately went to get the invitation to hand it over to Carson. Not long after, Carson was not in front of his grandmother's house. The house was big, bigger than the house they owned earlier. The comparison was like a poor man's house and a rich man's house. Carson got out of the car. At that moment,
George insulted Alison over and over again, which angered Carson. He clenched his fists. Alison tried to stop Carson, but she couldn't this time. Carson had reached his limit. Carson took one step forward, which frightened Alison's two cousins. Their faces were pale. "What are you going to do? If you hit us. Grandma won't stay silent. She will punish you." Vivian tried to threaten Carson, but it didn't make Carson flinch. He wasn't scared at all. George and Vivian had gone too far. It was unforgivable. George and Vivian fell because they tripped over their own feet. "Stop! If you hit us. Your little family will be expelled from the big family."Carson stepped forward. He was already very close to George and Vivian. "Stop! What are you doing? If you dare to hurt my two grandchildren. I will kill you." Someone shouted from behind. Nora went inside with several people following her. "You have destroyed this family's reputation and still dare to show your face here. How shameless. You'
Just as Carson was about to start gathering with his family, he received a call from Darwis. He walked out again. I also got the news that everything was fine. All locations had been checked once again and were completely safe. That made him relieved."Thank you. You'v worked very hard," Carson said to Darwis on his cell phone."You too. Without you, we wouldn't have been able to get all this done. As always, you're amazing, we really depend on you," Darwis said. Carson nodded. "That's how teamwork works. We have to complement each other," he said."Right." A few seconds of silence. Darwis took a breath and exhaled. "Happy New Year, General," he said. Carson smiled. "Happy new year."Carson spent New Year's Eve at home with his little family. He felt warm because it was full of joy. In the living room, twinkling lights adorned the Christmas tree that still stood majestically in the corner, even though the new year was almost here. By the way, now, the curtains were open, reveal
Carson was silent for a moment after hearing the news from Darwis. Shock and anxiety were clearly visible on his face. "The elite neighborhood? Where is my family?" his voice was full of confusion, and anxiety immediately spread to him. He looked at his subordinates with questioning eyes. Carson even swallowed. "We have to leave immediately. We have no more time. Let's go," he ordered firmly, without hesitation.His troops looked at each other. Still confused by what had happened, their brains were not working properly because today, too many things had happened. They worked so hard that their bodies and minds were exhausted.Carson, who saw that, patted their shoulders one by one. "Come on, let's go. We have to stop the bomb or there will be more casualties," he said.His troops nodded with a slightly blank stare. But they kept walking and, after a few seconds, finally understood what was happening.His troops quickly launched a focused search operation, dividing into groups to explo
Inside the room that was once dominated by the criminals, the atmosphere was now different. Carson stood upright in front of a large desk, where maps and important information were scattered. Around him, his subordinates, including his loyal men, stood with thoughtful expressions. They had just conquered the enemy base, and although the atmosphere was a little calmer, a feeling of anxiety and vigilance still coursed through them."Tonight is New Year's Eve, finally," said one of the soldiers with a relieved smile. "After everything that happened, it feels like we've accomplished everything. We can rest now.""Right," added another. "They've been defeated, we've won. It's over. Everything is calmer."Carson looked at them all with a serious gaze, but no smile appeared on his face. When he finally opened his mouth, his voice sounded calm yet full of a deep burden. All gazes were fixed on Carson."It's not over yet," Carson said, furrowing his brow.Everyone fell silent at those words. T
Behind the dark screen, the criminals sat with evil smiles etched on their faces. They felt no anxiety or fear of the consequences of what they were doing. Instead, they celebrated the chaos they had created as if this was a game they were enjoying. In a cramped room filled with computer screens and communication devices, one of them stood confidently, looking at his colleagues, who were laughing uproariously.They were a bunch of crazy people who loved chaos. They were doing all this for fun, especially since Carson had captured their leader. No one could restrain them, which made them even crazier and freer."You see," the man said in a low voice, full of confidence, "no matter how hard they try, they'll never be fast enough to stop us. No matter how many they send, we're already ahead of the game. They will only play in the game we make."Across the table, his partner nodded with a wide smile, his eyes twinkling. "This is very fun indeed. If they die, we'll bring more dead with us.
The atmosphere in the town of Springvale was tense, but as time passed, most citizens still went about their routines with little knowledge of what was really going on behind the scenes. They were deliberately not allowed to know what was happening.A few residents gathered in a café not far from the city center, enjoying a cup of morning coffee. Some glanced outside, noting the number of military vehicles and troops that seemed to be getting ready. A large truck full of equipment was also seen stopped in front of the government building. Although most of them didn't know exactly what was going on, the rumbling sound was quite obvious and made them wonder."Look at that. It looks like something big is happening," said one resident, a man in his 40s sitting by the window. He observed the soldiers passing by in full uniform, his hand holding a coffee cup. Do you think this has something to do with New Year's Eve preparations?"A young woman sitting at the table next to him looked out wi
Arriving at the car, he threw his luggage into the side seat roughly, then started the engine with a shudder. When he stepped on the gas pedal, the roaring sound of the engine seemed to represent the anger that was welling up inside him. On the way to his house, his head continued to be filled with images of the fallen victims, the faces he could not save.On the way, Carson grabbed his cell phone and dialed Darwis' contact number. A long ringing sound was heard before Darwis finally picked it up."Darwis," Carson's voice sounded hoarse, trying to hold back his emotions. "This isn't the end for us. I promise I'll handle this better."Darwis was silent for a few seconds. He sensed Carson's disappointment. "I understand, General. We won't let our guard down again either. Forgive us for being negligent." He felt disappointed in himself. "If only we had moved quickly, maybe the bomb wouldn't have exploded, and there wouldn't have been any casualties. All of this is my fault.""You can't b
Cason sat in his chair, his eyes not leaving the large screen in front of him. Although the atmosphere in the headquarters was getting tense, he felt that something was making him more anxious than ever. Slowly, he pulled out his cell phone from his pants pocket, staring at the name on the screen, Alison. He was worried about his wife's state.He took a deep breath before pressing the call button as if gathering the strength to hear the voice he had missed for so long because he was busy with this stressful situation. The phone rang for a few seconds, and finally, Alison's soft voice was heard on the other end."Hello, darling," Alison's soothing voice seemed to sweep away some of his worries.Carson sat up and leaned his back against the chair, trying to calm himself down. "Hello, sweetheart. Are you all right?" Carson said, his voice soft despite the anxiety in his heart."I'm fine." Alison was a little shocked that Carson would ask such a question just now. "Are you okay? If there'
After securing the enemy leader, Cason and his subordinates took him to a dark and isolated room nearby, where the interrogation would take place. The room was lit only by a small chandelier hanging in the center, giving it a tense feel. In one corner, there was a cold metal table, and the chair facing it was empty as if awaiting their role in this interrogation. The leader of the enemy, his face was pale. He was beginning to fear what Carson would do to him.The man, now bound and looking more tired than ever, sat with his body slightly bent. His eyes were red, and he was breathing heavily. In front of him, Cason stood with a sharp gaze. Darwis, along with several other team members, stood by the door, guarding against any interruptions during the interrogation process.Cason walked slowly around the table, his steps heavy and full of a chilling, murderous aura. He didn't say a word, just looked at the enemy leader, who seemed to be getting more and more panicked at Carson's aura."W
Cason faced the two men with his abilities. It turned out that his two opponents were stronger, and again, the two were very compact and very difficult to defeat. Without hesitation, he moved quickly, utilizing his speed and agility to dodge their attacks. His steps were measured while his two opponents worked together, trying to surround him from two directions.The big man moved first, trying to pin Cason down with big, fast steps. However, Cason was ready. He stepped back one step, nimbly dodging the man's outstretched hand. In an instant, he seized the opening, darting forward and blocking the movement of the small man who was trying to get close. Cason's movements were so fast that the little man could only be stunned for a moment, giving Cason room to go further.However, the big man did not give up. He turned around and attacked with a sharp movement, trying to hit with full force. Cason dodged quickly, just a step away from the attack. Cason's every move was meticulous, making
