Amelia, who had been silent until then, raised her hand."Amelia, please tell us what you're thinking," Archibald said, staring intently at the girl. For decades, ever since Hailie's death, he had felt that there would never be another with extraordinary abilities like hers.Unexpectedly, God had shown mercy to Tectona by giving them this young lady with similar powers.Everyone in the room was now fixated on the girl, holding their breath and hoping for an end to this chaos."Rufus is truly dangerous. Not only was he the mastermind behind the major crimes that occurred twenty years ago, but I'm convinced that he's the reason the Masked Warriors came and attacked our city! That's why it's useless to confront them. On the contrary, I think we should cooperate with them.Besides, despite Dakota's ability to defeat Rufus, the fact that she hasn't emerged from the underground yet suggests at least two things.First, the girl may be in trouble down there. Second, there is another figure fa
The corners of the old man's lips lifted slightly as he spoke these words.Although he did not raise his voice, the tone was dripping with mockery.Daniel took a moment before answering the old man's question."I..."Before he could continue, the old man was at Daniel's side in an instant."You infiltrated this place and you have no idea what you've gotten yourself into?" He said, a hand quickly reaching for Daniel's throat."Kid, you should think twice before trespassing!"The grip on Daniel's throat tightened."Damn, he's incredibly strong," Daniel thought. Using more than half of his inner strength, Daniel tried to free himself from the old man's grip.But the old man's fingers were like vise grips and Daniel couldn't move. The grip felt like an unyielding stone."Do you think you can challenge me with such feeble strength? You are dreaming," the old man taunted.With those words, he moved aside with ease.Bang!Daniel was thrown to the ground, several dozen meters away.Clutching
"Mr. Flavio, at first I thought that Harper's kidnapping was only related to Rufus. But after seeing you here, I'm convinced that everyone's suspicions were right all along! You're the one who took Harper! You're the real culprit!"With pain in his chest, Daniel said these words with a smile on his lips.Flavio's eyes widened and his chest expanded and contracted, as if he was suppressing his anger.Clenching his fists, he took a step toward Daniel.But after a few steps he stopped."I admit you're smart enough to know what the fools couldn't figure out decades ago! And since you're going to die today, I'll tell you a little bit."Back to twenty years ago.The final battle for new members of the Security Division had just ended.One girl stepped down from the podium after receiving her awards and being officially inducted as a new member.She was Harper Amaro, the most beautiful and talented girl in Tectona at the time.Casually strolling, Harper made her way to the backyard of the Ci
Ignoring Flavio, Harper turned around.She wanted to go to the hospital to check on the monk's condition. But Flavio immediately grabbed her arm."I told you, I did it for you! Don't you have any gratitude for me? Besides, he's not dead yet, and his life can still be saved!"Trying to free her arm from Flavio's grip, Harper said, "You did it for me? Flavio, wake up! It was a competition, and he never hurt his opponent harmlessly!""I don't care! I told you, no one gets near you! No one!"Flavio boldly pulled Harper closer. Their bodies were about to touch, but..."Flavio, don't be disrespectful! You're the head of security! Show a woman some respect!"Harper tried to pull away from Flavio's body, but he held her even tighter. He even moved his face closer to Harper's lips.Of course, this ignited Harper's anger. She had never been treated like this in her entire life.Harper pulled her head back and yelled, "Flavio, control yourself! Do you know what people are saying about you?"With
Flavio furrowed his brow."You're going to die, but why are you stupid enough to ask me another question?""About the Masked Warriors? Why have you made them your scapegoats?""Huh! You really are clueless! All right, let me explain it to you."Flavio reluctantly lowered his hand and threw Daniel's body to the ground."Since you care about this group, I'm sure you have some knowledge about them," Flavio said.In fact, when Daniel had fought Brian, he had secretly used his mind reading technique to uncover the young man's weaknesses and the secrets behind his group.His technique had indeed been successful.But what surprised Daniel was the truth, which was completely different from what he had known all along."What? What is this?" Daniel exclaimed.The Masked Warriors weren't an organized group of criminals spreading terror and evil.Instead, they were an elite group of the security forces of the city of Quercus.Even the core members of this group, the Rogers family, were the second
The explosion was so powerful that the underground space shook violently.Not only that, but thick smoke began to appear where Flavio was standing.At that moment, the old man's eyebrows furrowed as if something strange was happening.When the smoke disappeared a few moments later, and if anyone happened to see what happened around that place, they would understand what Flavio felt.Daniel was thrown into a corner dozens of meters away, but he did not seem to have suffered any serious injuries."Old friend, it's been a long time since we met! Do you miss me?"Directly in front of Flavio stood another old man with authority radiating from his face and body.His hand was extended forward, right in front of Flavio's fist.Without thinking too much, anyone would know that this figure was the one who had just saved Daniel.Looking at the distinctive clothes of the Tectona nobility on him, he was none other than the Earl and head of the Insignia family...Charles Insignia!When Daniel enter
"If you lend your voice to support me, I believe it will be more than enough to convince the other council members!" Charles continued.In the law of the kingdom, each city is indeed given the freedom to determine its own form of government.And for a proposal to be approved, it must be supported by at least all the members of the Earl's family, in this case Insignia, and two noble families under it, the Baldini and the Amaro.Therefore, if Flavio agrees with Charles' idea, they only need to convince Aaron, who is actually Rufus, from the Amaro family, so that the proposal can be approved.After thinking for a moment, Flavio was about to give his approval when Charles surprised him again with his idea."Don't worry! If this plan succeeds, I will also propose that the noble status of Earl no longer be determined by hereditary succession!"As it is known, the leader of a city, whether it be over commoners or fellow nobles, is determined by the status of Earl that a particular noble fami
"If he is disappointed with our actions, he may abandon his intention to hold a new Earl election next year, or even cancel this plan altogether! If that happens, your hope of being named an Earl will vanish!" he continued.As mentioned earlier, Charles did indeed have a plan to make the title of Earl something earned through council rather than inheritance. And he also decided that he would start implementing his idea next year.Upon hearing Aaron's words, Flavio seemed to nod in agreement.A few moments later, however, he stood up from his chair."I understand very well what all the nobles present here are thinking! Anyway, as part of the tradition passed down through generations, it is an honor for us to be called such," he said.At that moment, Flavio's words surprised Aaron, who was sitting next to him.His body trembled as he imagined what his friend would say next."Stop this speech at once, Lord Baldini! I beg you!" he whispered.But as if he had not heard the words, Flavio co
