Daniel had proven himself to be not only highly talented, but also deeply caring and responsible towards Tectona, another reason why he was a suitable candidate for Esquire.As the opinions leaned more towards him, the old man in the white suit, one of the top members of the City Council, also agreed.However, Aaron remained silent, showing no interest in the proposal, which made people wonder if something was wrong."But what about the news that he attacked Young Master Amaro the day before the final match? Isn't that a serious offense?" remarked a person wearing a luxurious black suit. Among the high-ranking members of the city council, he was considered to be one of the wealthiest.The man in the black suit didn't really care as long as Daniel was willing to be accountable and give reasons for his actions.However, he could see Aaron's expression and noticed that the old Amaro man didn't like it when people talked about or mentioned Daniel's name. So he tried to understand Aaron's
Dakota stepped out of the palanquin and called the Elder of the West and the Elder of the East.These were nicknames given to two Warriors who held the third level of Lion within the elite group that was specifically tasked with guarding Brian."You are the ones who have always been with my brother. So I think you know a lot about him," Dakota said."I want to ask you if you know about this potion!" The girl presented a bottle that she had used earlier to treat Brian.Dakota was actually happy because Brian's fever had broken. That meant she could go into battle without worrying about him.If she had to choose between returning to Quercus to take better care of Brian or completing this mission, she would gladly choose the former.However, due to the importance of this mission, she couldn't just return to Quercus without any results.Therefore, Dakota needed the opinions of the two elders to assess her brother's condition and make the right decision.Both men carefully examined the bot
Daniel still stood alone in the middle of the field. He wasn't sure what Dakota was planning. But his intuition told him that another big battle was inevitable."Daniel!"A familiar voice echoed in his ears from a certain direction. Jeffrey, Montgomery and Amelia hurried over to Daniel."What shall we do? My intuition tells me that they will attack us soon!" Jeffrey exclaimed. Daniel just shook his head weakly. "I have no idea either."When Daniel had managed to defeat Brian earlier, he had felt that victory would be on Tectona's side. But Dakota's presence made everything seem difficult now."But we can do something! Come on, follow me!"Daniel led the three of them to a secluded spot behind one of the buildings of the complex. They sat in a circle, facing each other."Daniel, what are we really doing?" Montgomery asked. The same question crossed Amelia's mind, but she remained silent, continuing to watch Daniel closely. Only Jeffrey had no questions. This was because he had been thr
A few minutes earlier.The energy transfer technique that Daniel possessed had reached a completely different stage.In just a few minutes, he had managed to make Jeffrey and Montgomery break through to the first level of the Lion rank.Even if Amelia hadn't been there at that time, the two of them might have been able to advance to the second level.Unfortunately, Daniel had to divide his energy among the three of them, so Amelia reached the peak of the Eagle rank.After experiencing such a level increase, Daniel's three friends felt a much greater power than before.Not only did their bodies feel much stronger, but they also felt lighter, and their punches and kicks became faster.If Daniel were to fight the Elder of the West, his three companions would join other Tectona Warriors.With Daniel joining the battle, the spirit of the Tectona Warriors was ignited."Daniel is fighting with us! We will definitely win!""Yes! We will put all our efforts into defending Tectona, just like he
After Dakota and the nine elite Warriors left, someone who had been watching from a distance approached the palanquin.From her slender figure and smooth features, the figure appeared to be a girl.She was wearing a long white silk robe with a head covering and a veil of the same color that covered half of her face.Even looking at the uncovered part of her face, anyone could judge that this girl possessed exceptional beauty.At first, the two elite Warriors guarding the palanquin ignored her. However, when the girl was only ten meters away from the palanquin, they stopped her."Hey, stop! What are you doing here? Go away!" said one of the Warriors."I just want to check on Brian!" she replied, halting her steps. Still, she didn't move from where she stood."Didn't you hear us? Go away! You can meet Mr. Rogers some other time!""I heard he's hurt. I can help him!" the girl pleaded.The two Warriors thought for a moment.They weren't sure if the girl was sincere in her words, but judgi
Dakota and several elite Warriors behind her stood next to the Mayor's building."Have you received any reports on the girl's whereabouts?"Dakota had instructed them to search for Archie's location within this complex."Forgive us, Miss! There is no sign of the girl in this complex," one of them replied."What do you mean? Are you suggesting that Brian was given false information?" Dakota replied.The information about Archie being in one of the buildings in this complex came directly from the Masked Warrior spy working for Tectona. He wouldn't lie unless he was tired of living."Forgive us, Miss!" the Warrior replied, bowing his head.Dakota was about to order him to continue the search for Archie, but suddenly another Warrior came and told her, "Miss, Mr. Amaro and all the Council members are in the meeting room. What should we do?"Dakota did not seem to be interested in hearing this.Her sole focus at the moment was to find Archie as soon as possible and return to Quercus. Dakota
When Daniel turned to the source of the voice, it was Amelia.His brow furrowed when he heard her question. "Amelia, what do you mean?""Daniel, I had a strange dream last night!"The girl then told him about the night when Daniel had been taken care of while he was unconscious."I saw a group of people on horseback, dressed in white from head to toe."Since Amelia had never met people like that before, she assumed they were mountain people. After all, it was only a dream, right?But when she remembered the dream, it felt very real, as if Amelia could see the group of people directly, just as if she were awake.In addition, Amelia could sense a powerful energy within them."Even in my dream, I could feel that the energy within them was really strong! But that's not what surprised me. I saw two girls and a young man who was unconscious in one of the carts that the group of people were carrying. It's like I know these people!"Amelia wasn't sure what she saw, but she could see in her me
"Even if you want to do anything to me afterwards, including ending my life, I won't resist or refuse!"Struggling to speak because of Dakota's hand around his neck, Aaron tried to calm the girl down.On the other side, Dakota actually felt a little suspicious after hearing the old man's words. "Why does he want to go with me alone?" she wondered.If it was a trap, wouldn't it be easier for Aaron to end her life when she was alone than when she was surrounded by her subordinates?But even if that was the case, Dakota wasn't too worried. "The old man's power is exhausted. I could easily defeat him. So why should I fear him?"After thinking for a while, the girl finally let go of Aaron's collar."Let's go now! If you lie to me, I will make you and your whole family suffer!"Dakota started to leave, but Aaron knelt down again and begged the girl. "Please save my son! I beg you! I'm willing to trade my life for his!"Dakota looked into the distance where Archibald was still struggling wit
